The DE Magician Newbie quest in Oggok could use a revamp:
After killing lizardmen from levels 4 through 10, and not finding a single 'Lizardman Tribal Dagger', I ran into someone who had one. (Literately over 100 lizardmen killed and I did not find one dagger.)
I did the hand-in, completed the newbie quest, and received a 2hb staff that is: 6dmg 34dly, +2cha +10mana.
At level 8, magicians receive the spell: staff of tracing. This spell summons a 2hb staff that is: 5dmg 22dly +10mana.
I suggest both upping the drop rate of the now-rare dagger, and changing the stats of the quest reward, Assembly Apprentice's Staff, for the better.
