It would be awesome if one could see whether a quest is part of a quest line, and if so, show which number it is in the quest line.

I often skip quests because they look boring, only to later find out they were part of the main quest line in the area :)

On a related note, it would be awesome if you could see prerequisite quests for a given quest. Not sure if those are already in the search engine you made. Just thought of this on the train :)

Thanks for the absolutely madlad work you've done on the addon. It's just amazing the features you've been dishing out lately.

I thought maybe we could splice this together using the "parentQuest" / "childQuest" IDs... but nah. It's a mess.

In retail you have a "Storyline ID" that ties everything together.

Near as I can tell, no matter how we slice it since quests don't have a "Storyline ID" in the DB, so we're left with a huge task of trying to re-interpret / re-create that data.

The Parent / Child Quests aren't always clean, and I think things get messy when there are non-linear elements in the middle... so like where the chain requires you to kill 3 dragons in parallel before going on to kill the 4th dragon.

I think we should just close this issue, seems like a time sink.

Ony chain is probably a bit complex... but good place to start.

• Warlord's Command (1 of 11)
• Eitrigg's Wisdom (2 of 11)
• For The Horde! (3 of 11)
• What the Wind Carries (4 of 11)
• The Champion of the Horde (5 of 11)
• The Testament of Rexxar (6 of 11)
• Oculus Illusions (7 of 11)
• Emberstrife (8 of 11)
• The Test of Skulls (9 of 11) (NOTE there are actually 4 parts to this.)
• Ascension... (10 of 11)
• Blood of the Black Dragon Champion (11 of 11)

Here's the data for the list above. And a sort of train of thought going through this...

Start

May be partially handled by #2498 - TBD, but closing as this isn't a high priority.
