I spent tonight in EQ2 just clearing out some old quests to make room for more (I was down to one free slot), mostly repeatable ones in Thundering Steppes.
One particularly annoying one was a writ from Qeynos to hunt octopi around the docks, though. It turns out that they share spawn tables with the plain, non-aggressive fish in the area, and it took much longer than I expected as I had to swim around and clear out a lot of stupid little fish just to get another octopus to spawn.
Oh well, at least I have 11 free quest slots, now.
