Hmm, good point. Didn't think about that. I just started playing EQ again a month ago, so I missed out on the initial implementation of the task system. I'm not sure if other tasks had multiple reward choices before SoF launched.
The tasks I was referring to are the 'farm tasks' in Dragonscale Hills.
