HA @ Fink. Sorry mate, but that made me laugh a lot!
If you had bothered to ask, I could have happily told you to not bother handing it in.
As Hoberton said, and regarding Lung's point as well, it's used for the Shinning Blades quest first and foremost, but is also worth a hunk of hoard (although, you could get much more hoard much faster via other methods).
As with all quests, it's always about the reward apparently... but did you like the lore at all? The Shinning Blades quest is quite fun, which you may have already completed.
As a T5 quest, almost no amount of exp is worth it, given there are much faster ways to level. More money? Again, much easier ways to earn coin. I just don't understand what you were expecting... 200K exp to craft and adventure? Given it's a repeatable quest, that could get abused... but if it were a one-time-only quest, you do it, and then *poof*, it's gone. Which would only be more content that someone has worked long and hard on, and we've churned through it in much less time than it took to implement. (HA, that turned into a mini-rant as well).
I've never played Everquest, but having seen a friend do so, she had to turn off quest experience cause she was levelling too fast... I don't want to see anything like that happen here
Though I don't think we are in any danger of that happening anytime soon
Admittedly, the reward could be a little more interesting, but if we start getting more emblems or one-time-only techs, we get back into the discussion of not enough stack space... I'm sure it's a very delicate balancing act, that is simply impossible to balance with everyone's different opinions.
