Don't feel bad. I remember back in the day with Vizzagoth another Master had a Lich quest, I forget who. Anyway they had the Crown of the Akan King(Forget the real name). You could locate it, but I found out years later that Holtz never finished the quest so there was no way you could actually get the item and so no way he could have ever finished his Lich quest.

A shame they can't pregenerate like 10 Lich Quests, or at least make them easier for them to create them.

That which does not kill us,
makes us stronger.
