Default Please make messages more meaningful.

I probably need to have a better title for this - if someone can suggest something or I think of one I'll edit.

Anyway...

I was trying to play the Invaders quest with my 9th Level Cleric a few days ago and couldn't take the quest. When I spoke to Guard Brandon or whatever his name was he kept saying something along the lines of:

"You're not famous enough for me to give you this quest - come back when you are more famous."

Now, from rumor and hearsay, I thought that the prerequisite for this quest was coin lord favor and since I'd just converted my portable hole I kindof figured I had this covered! As a result I was at a loss to explain why I couldn't take the quest.

After some discussion in the group we worked out I hadn't finished the quest "Making your presence known" and we wondered if that was the issue, so, I ran round all the relevent NPCs, completed the quest but still had no luck with Guard Branson.

Anyway, after a discussion with +Sens (thank you very much for you and your team's time), he was able to confirm that the prerequisite was that you needed to be level 10 to take the quest.

Which brings me to my suggestion:

If quests have certain prerequisites that need to be met, could the prerequisites you are missing please be somehow made clear in the message you get from the NPC so that you know what it is you need to "fix" in order to take the quest?

Thanks to my patient crew I did the quest anyway for the XP but it would have been nice to know what the score was immediately so that we didn't waste ours or the GMs time.

Thanks.

W.
