One-Time Quests, Level 60+

Rune, Goddard, the Forest of the Dead and level 75 quests

A summary of high-level (62-75) one-time quests from the l2dc knowledge base. Most of it is the story chain about the tragedy of the von Hellmann family in the Forest of the Dead, plus short errands in Rune and Goddard and two level 75 quests. The data reflects Chronicle 4: Scions of Destiny. The database did not publish rewards, so the table only lists what the quest text itself mentions. The Path of a Noblesse chain is covered separately in Noblesse Quest.
