Adding loot to questsFollow

I have another question about the database. I've been trying to upload missing ToV information. For quests or missions that have a chest at the end, I'd like to have a list of possible loot appear. I can't figure out how to do this. The database is capable of it as many missions have the list, but I personally don't know what steps to take to get items to appear.

For example in the Velk's Lab mission: Seeking the Sorcerer ( https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=9912 ), at the bottom is the Rewards list. Currently, only the currency shows up. How do I add the 10s of loot that the chest drops?

Thank you :)

What I do for those quests/missions that have chests, if the chest npc has been created as an object type npc then make sure the npc is linked to the quest as related. You can add npc's to a quest mission by editing the npc directly and add it as a related creature.

Then link the items from that chest as a reward for that quest/mission. As Larth pointed out above you can do this on a mass scale by using the admin tool in the eq section that says "Link quests to the item they reward".

If you want to list out all the chest loot, then edit the quest text at the bottom and add a list of the items for each chest. However I would just add an html link to the chests there instead and say something like click here for a listing of loot for this chest because then we would have to keep adding more loot to the quest text when we can just add it to the chest npc and as a reward to the quest/mission.

I made some admin tutorial videos in the Admin > Everquest 1 CM Forum. The thread title is "Admin Tutorial Video's" and is stickied towards the top of the forum. The videos might not cover everything but I believe they should give you some help with what you want to do.

Let me know if you have anymore questions. You can PM directly or you can post directly into the EQ admin forums. To see the admin forums, look at the listing of all the forums at https://everquest.allakhazam.com/forum.html and scroll down a little until you see the Admin Forums section. Everquest 1 CM Forum is listed there.
