Info/Quest varbit
Overview[edit]
In RuneScape, the main state for a given quest is stored in a single varbit (though a quest may use varbits for others things such as quest choices). An example of this with Cook's Assiant (2004)[1][Note 1]:
| Varbit | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Quest not started |
| 1 | Objectives were you need to give the ingredients to the Cook |
| 2 | Quest completed |
Depending on the quest, the last varbit may not be reflective in of the total amount of steps in a quest[1]. For example, the OldSchool RuneScape port of While Guthix Sleeps has its last varbit at 900[2]. It is extremely unlikely that the quest has 900 distinct states[3].
Furthermore, it should be noted that the Quest list bases the state of the quest (not started / in progress / completed) based on the aforementionned quest varbit[1]
Data in the cache[edit]
In RuneScape 3, the endvalue for some of the quests is stored in the cache[4].
In OldSchool RuneScape, the last quest varbit for every quest is exposed in the cache's Dbrow, in the param data=col19[1]
RuneMetrics[edit]
RuneMetrics's API do not transmits the last quest varbit. It instead transmit the quest state via string of text that can be "NOT_STARTED", "STARTED" and "COMPLETED"[5].
Archives[edit]
- Dump of OldSchool RuneScape's Dbrow from 2025-03-26[6].
- Dump of Chisel's quest related dbrows made on 2025-03-28[4]
Notes[edit]
- ↑ Example is pulled from OldSchool RuneScape's version of the quest which was untouched and thus identical to the 2004 version
