Today’s Tip Time involves the Quest Guide and Quest Tracker. Through nor­mal game­play var­i­ous quests will be added to your Quest Tracker. Most peo­ple know that you can con­trol the appear­ance of quests in the Quest Tracker through your Quest Log. A quick way of get­ting there is just by click­ing the rings next to your quests in the Tracker.

What you may not know is that you can also right click the rings next to your quests.

This gives you a small menu of addi­tional options:

  1. Show in Quest Log: Opens up the Quest Log with this quest as the focus. This is the same as left-clicking the quest ring.
  2. Lock: Locks the quest in the Quest Tracker and pre­vents it from being replaced auto­mat­i­cally as you col­lect new quests or fin­ish objectives.
  3. Set Who Note: Sets this quest as your note in the Look­ing for Fel­low­ship dis­play. This way oth­ers can see what you’re focus­ing on.
  4. Find Oth­ers on Quests: Finds oth­ers through the Look­ing for Fel­low­ship dis­play that are cur­rently doing this quest. Help­ful if you need a group, but it pre­sumes they’re pay­ing atten­tion to the LFF dis­play. Unfor­tu­nately, many peo­ple do not.
  5. Set as Quest Guide Focus: Sets the selected quest as the focus on the Quest Guide, mean­ing that the arrow in the radar will focus on that quest instead of what­ever it was focus­ing on pre­vi­ously. This is quite use­ful because oth­er­wise the Quest Guide will auto­mat­i­cally change focus depend­ing on your position.
  6. Remove: Remove from the Quest Tracker and Guide, but not from the Log.
  7. Remove All: Same as above, but affects all quests in the Tracker and Guide.

I didn’t real­ize all of these options were avail­able early on, but they can be quite useful.

I’m sure some of you have noticed that your Quest Log allows you to have more than 40 quests. I have a char­ac­ter with 43, another with 41 and another with 44. At first, I assumed this had some­thing to do with level … but on closer inspec­tion that wasn’t the case.

There’s a great post on A Casual Stroll to Mor­dor that explains that these are actu­ally due to how may Deeds you com­plete. Be sure to read it for the full story.
