Hi there, I was just wondering the status of my OOX questline.
Thank you.

Q u o t e:
FYI: It is now possible to discover this yourself. 3.3 introduced the ability to query the server for the status of all quests for a toon. Addons that I know will do this are Everyquest and Carbonite.


Indeed, thank you, Mericcac. I think it will take a little while until people know that this is an available option. :)

Bisou, you have completed the quests in Feralas.

Nahor, so far you have found the beacon in Tanaris but you haven't rescued the OOX in that area.

OOX-17/TN! - Completed the quests in this area

Q u o t e:
I'm downloading Everyquest right now.
Could I still know for Thelazuria (Doomhammer) though?


You have completed the quests in the Hinterlands and Tanaris.

Q u o t e:
I would also like info on my OOX because I do not have my pet.


You may not have the pet, Gatito, but you did complete the quest line already to receive it. You likely gave, traded or deleted the Mechanical Chicken though.

Given the Bind on Equip nature of these pets we may not be able to restore them but it never hurts to inquire. Submit an in-game petition and ask if they can restore it for you.

Q u o t e:
I no longer have the beacon in my inventory, is it something that will drop again so I can do this quest chain?


Well, no you wouldn't have the beacon in your inventory, you already found it and turned it in. :) You need to return to the OOX in that area and escort it to safety.

OOX-09/HL! - found and turned in the beacon but have yet to rescue the OOX

Q u o t e:
Great, thanks!

And just a question, is the OOX always there or will I have to wait for somebody who just found the beacon?


If someone initiates the escort you may need to wait until that is either completed or failed and the OOX returns to its spawn point.

I couldn't say, Gluttony. My best guess is that the Armory may be counting an Achievement that has actually been moved to a Feat of Strength.

It could also just be an error in the total on the Armory.

Q u o t e:
Could I please get information on my OOX quests also?

Ketjana - Proudmoore
Katjana - Proudmoore
Kewanee - Proudmoore
Johira - Proudmoore

Thank you in advance and happy holidays!

Have they ever considered adding the option to ask the quest guy in Booty Bay the status of the three beacons?





The functionality to check completed quests is now available to mod-makers, Ketjana.

As to these characters...

Ketjana - Has completed An OOX of Your Own.
Katjana - Still needs Feralas
Kewanee - Still needs Feralas
Johira - Has completed An OOX of Your Own.

I should probably state again.

With 3.3 an option was implemented that allows players to pull up a list of completed quests. There are already several addons that make use of this information to allow players to figure out where they are in regards to this quest line.

Though as always, we are happy to help where we can, we may be unable to continue to provide such information, as it has been made available to you to find this yourself.

Q u o t e:
Hello!

I'm hoping you can tell me which of the OOX quests I've completed on this character. Thanks so much!


Looks like Hinterlands is all that is lacking on this character for completion.

It looks like you have completed the quest line, Lubel. :)

Fudan, you've completed nearly all the quests, you still need to rescue the OOX in Tanaris. You'll need to return to where you found the OOX and escort it to safety.

Cireene, you haven't started the quest line yet.

Q u o t e:
Could you tell me what quests I have completed in this questline. Character is Kandace on Turalyon

Thanks!


You've completed the quest in Feralas so far, Kandace.

Just to remind everyone, with 3.3 our Developers provided access to the completed quest list. This allows those who create addons to give players the ability keep track of which quests they have done. I recommend visiting the UI & Macro forum for advice on which one may work best for your purposes.

Q u o t e:
Could I know my progression on these quests as well (Jadersice, lvl 80 warlock, Illidan). I had everyquest, but it never told me any quests I had completed before installing it.


You may want to check the UI & Macro forum to assistance, Jasperia, or even the site where you picked up that addon. Perhaps there is something you need to do to get your list. :)

The character you listed found and turned in the beacon in the Hinterlands thus far. You still need to find and escort the OOX in that area as well as complete the others steps.

Darcnyte, you haven't completed any of the quests yet.

Ahnna, you still have Feralas let to do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As a reminder, folks, our Development Team implemented an option to retrieve which quests you have completed. People who create addons have been able to use this information to provide you with addons that can tell you what quests you may still need.

We will try to provide this information when possible but it would be best if you use the tools that have been made available to you as it we may not be able to get to your inquiry immediately.

Q u o t e:
Can blues make this macro a sticky or something so everyone will stop asking about this OOX. It saves everyone's time.


This question isn't very common, Mistmore, so a sticky really wouldn't be worth it. When the question does pop up I think it would be fairly easy to provide the advice you did. :)

Lightning - It appears as if you simply need to rescue OOX-17/TN. Seek this mecha-fowl out and help it out!

Icekin - You need to find OOX-17/TN's beacon and rescue it.

Q u o t e:

Ok this works but i still cant get my mech chicken. Have found all but thinking that i didn't hand in the Tanaris one as its the only one i had done prior to starting loremaster. Any advice?


You turned in the beacon in Tanaris, Jalaurian, but you still need to rescue the OOX in that area. Return to the Mechanical Chicken in Tanaris and escort it to safety. :)

Q u o t e:
What Blizzard should do is let you ask the NPC that gives you the pet from completing the three quests which ones you've done or not done.


An excellent idea, Xarla, and one that would be perfect to post in the Suggestion forum. Our Developers implemented the ability for players to retrieve their own progress already though by implementing a command that can be used. This has enabled several addon creators to use this new command within their addons to allow players to pull up a list of quests they have already completed.

Prior to this introduction those of us who moderated this forum as well as our In-Game Support Reps tried to provide this information because there simply was no other way to get it. Now though we ask that you use the avenues available whenever possible.

Besides an addon you should be able to use the following command specifically for this quest line.

Q u o t e:
/run f,z=CreateFrame('frame'),{[485]='The Hinterlands',[351]='Tanaris',[2766]='Feralas'};f:RegisterEvent('QUEST_QUERY_COMPLETE')

/run local s,t;f:SetScript('OnEvent',function() t=GetQuestsCompleted();for c,v in pairs(z) do if t[c] then s='' else s=' not' end print('You have'..s,'found OOX in',v) end end);QueryQuestsCompleted()

Q u o t e:


Quick question...I ran the commands that you said and it showed that I found OOX in 2 out of the 3 places...does that mean that I have successfully rescued the OOX there? Or just that I found the beacon?


I believe the script indicates simply that you found the beacon. Not that you completed the rescue of the OOX in that area.

I'm not well versed with scripts so it would be best to visit the UI & Macro forum for additional advice or pick up an addon that helps track your completed quests.

Q u o t e:
I need a bit of help from blizzard. The topic is the OOX quests. I have farmed the Tanaris and Feralas beacons in 10 minutes or less. I put over three hours of farming into the Hinterlands one and still no drop. Can you please give me some advice or helpful information. Thank you


Basically, Skatedude, you got lucky. The beacons for the OOX are not entirely common. You can find a beacon in your first kill or your thousandth, the odds of finding it are just the same.

Keep at it, you should eventually find it. :)
