The continuing upward spiral of drop and mission reward item quality has rendered many of the earlier "badge of honor" type quests of Everquest worthless. A case in point is the Thurgiden prayer shawl quest. Does anyone still do this once wonderful quest? SOE has stated that there will not be a 9th shawl quest because, well, the 8th shawl was given the player who quested it by the Avatar of the god. That makes sense in terms of storyline. What does not make sense anymore is the quality of the item. SOE should rectify this by modifying the Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl and making it an evolving item would maintain story continuity while encouraging many players to once again take up the onerous task of completing this quest. Below are my suggestions for a revamped Blessed Coldain Prayer Shawl:
