The only thing that makes the quests "hard" is that fact that everything is
on a ridiculously slow or rare spawn. Any dip can pick up a bag in Kithicor,
but it takes a really bored dip to sit and watch a stump for 7 hours waiting
for a bag to appear. These quests are just flat out horrible. They should
have been more like the Ranger and Warrior class specific armours quest, but
it's too late to totally revamp them now. The only way to "fix" them is to
make the spawns faster. But the fact is, they will most likely be left just
as they are, much like the paw of Opalla Quest. What the hell kind of quest
is that? Kill High Priestess Mitty 30 times in a row and get a reward? It
just plain wasn't very  well thought out, and the new Cleric Armor quests
are the same. Go stare at a stump in Kithicor. Go kill green Aviaks in the
middle of OOT until Gull spawns. Wander High Keep for hours looking for
Jovan the Fervent. Stare at a water pillar in Guk for 7 hours. Clear a
static spawn point in Befallen once every 7 hours. They are all the same -
time consuming, and boring as hell. In the long run they will take longer to
complete than Ranger, Bard, or Warrior quests, but will yield much boredom
and no experience and/or fun.
And don't respond with "XXX class has it worse", maybe some class does,
maybe it doesn't, the point is that the Cleric Quests are horrid, and I felt
like bitching. Thank you for your time.

    I for one will not waste my time doing a quest that is a useless waste
of time.
Thankyou Verant for making the game so much more fun for the clerics.

I spent an entire weekend sitting around on Aviak Isle in OOT trying to find
a named spawn, after a few hours of nothing we left to go and try and find
the named Gnome in Befallen.  No luck...
Folks, I lost an entire WEEKEND to this game!  I was planning on going out
to the Texas Ren Fest... go out to dinner, go dancing, etc... but no I
figured what the hell my GF needs some new armor so let's do the quest!
What a load of crap.
I'll not make that mistake again.

The kithicor forest items are a joke.  7 hours between spawns, and nothing
remotely yielding any exp or loot.  The Necro in the Kerra island zone is random
spawn.  Spent alot of time saturday looking for her, nada.  Came back
sunday...after 6 hours she spawned back to back.  I was fortunate to get a
fellow cleric there in time to kill her so he didnt have to go mad camping yet
another spawn that yields no exp or loot worth mentioning.
The ingot in GUK is in the scryer room.  As I was waiting for it to spawn, a
newbie enchanter bit off more than he could handle and trained a bunch of frogs
on me.  More killing of greenies and no exp, or loot worth much.
Same thing in Runnyeye going for Sludge.  Many aggro greenies, that I had to
clear the area...no exp...very little loot...hours wasted waiting for him to
spawn.  Then you go to Everfrost and go diving for an ingot that is on the 7
hour cycle.  No exp....aggro ice bones...are we having fun yet? ;>
Anyways...to top it all off....the gold armor looks terrible.  You would think
they would atleast make it so it added the all important wisdom to our
stats....but the boots add desease protection and the pants int...oh joy.
I"m done going for the new armor...aint worth the time or money.

(as much as I try to avoid me-too posts...)
Seconded.  The cleric quest are just plain stupid, pointless quests for
mostly pointless armour.  I don't think I'll bother with any of it, to
be honest.
Especially since the armour isn't even wearable by halflings.
Definitely a case of thanks for nothing, when there's already plenty of
good miscellaneous armour (inferior to rubi, but superior to this
cleric-only rubbish in so many ways).
