Quests database

We all know that there is a issue with missing or NIL objectives. I'm working on it with atl77, but thats not so easy, as wowhead doesnt properly display objetives on quest page.

Ill search wow CASC files for real wow dbc with objectives but i dont know if there is this kind of file there.

Maybe someone have another sollution? Where to look for the real wow quests objective database?

I've seen this suggested several times in the past couple of years so it's just a thought.. Instead of trying to redesign the wheel, why not take advantage of an addon like Grail, whose sole purpose is to supply a database of quests and quest related information? It may give better results.

At the very least it couldn't hurt to ask Nimhfree about it. Maybe s/he has an idea that could help you out.

It's the same problem it always has been, objective locations. Grail doesn't have it either.

However, you might want to think about adding the quest objectives to Grail as a loadable add-on. You need to determine whether it is better to (1) change Carbonite to use Grail, and add quest objectives to Grail, or (2) add all the new information for quests and quest objectives to Carbonite.

There is project called WodCore ... they have MySQL database with quest and quest objectives, maybe blobs too. Im checking it right now. Maybe we can use this to get quests database.
