This will document the Quest API for Perl since that is what is used on EQ Archives. Also see the official EQEMU Quest API docs and Spire Quest API Explorer for latest definitions and Quest examples.

The EQEMU Quest API is largely event-based. Variables in the Perl API are available either as Perl Consts that are available for all events, or as variables that are exported specifically for a given event.

Events

Event Name Trigger Notes
EVENT_ITEM When an item or money is turned into the mob. This is actually aliased to EVENT_TRADE, and is exclusive to the Perl API (Lua uses EVENT_TRADE).
