Please provide variety to the methods for triggering quest content. While quest icons will visibly identify NPCs in your field of view with quests, there should be more content to introduce the need for the quest or point you towards the area of the quest giver. Here are a couple ideas, please add more of your own:

- From NPC that you have existing relationship with via Linkpearl
- Other NPCs mention that NPC X (Joe the Weaver has rats) or Region Y (The docks are on fire!) needs assistance
- Upon reaching quest start criteria, mob drops item that points you towards quest (map, scroll, whatever)
- Overhear whisper in crowd pointing you to quest giver
- NPC approaches you for assistance.
- Entering area triggers cut scene / activity

Anyone else have ideas?
