RewardNextQuest (Old field name: NextQuestIdChain)

The quest entry from a creature or gameobject that ends a quest and starts a new one. The result is, that if you end the quest, the new quest instantly appears from the quest giver.

See the examples section for examples.

According to the Level, the basic experience with index RewardXPDifficulty is taken from QuestXP.dbc.

This field also controls the XP given as the XP is calculated from the value in this field by the following formula. If the quest is repeatable, XP will be given only once. The total XP that a character will receive is also affected by the level difference between the character's level and the quest's level.

The formula for calculating XP from the value in this field:

• QuestLevel >= 65: XP = RewMoneyMaxLevel / 6.0
• QuestLevel h1. 64: XP = RewMoneyMaxLevel / 4.8
• QuestLevel 63: XP = RewMoneyMaxLevel / 3.6
• QuestLevel h1. 62: XP = RewMoneyMaxLevel / 2.4
• QuestLevel 61: XP = RewMoneyMaxLevel / 1.2
• QuestLevel ⇐ 60: XP = RewMoneyMaxLevel / 0.6

Money earned by completing the quest (if value > 0) or money requirement to complete the quest (if value < 0) .

Number of honorable kill honor rewarded for completing this quest.

Example: An example value is 15 for quest 8388: At level 80 an honorable kill is 124 honor worth. Multiply this with 15 and you receive 1860, after the multiplication the value is rounded up. So the honor rewarded at level 80 is 1860 for this quest.

Items given by the quest giver at beginning of the quest. Items will be deleted when quest is abandoned.

This flag field defines more specifically the type of quest it is. Aside from the daily flag and sharable flag, this field is used just for grouping purposes and NOT for any other quest requirements. The quest requirements are calculated from non-zero values in other quest template fields. Also, while some of these flags are known, others have yet an unknown purpose and the comments below is simply guesswork on them.

Like all flag based fields, QuestFlags can be added for the different types of quest.

Note that some flags may not be supported by core.
