What does the quest menuitem mean?

When you right click on quest watch priorities, you get some items:

"Distance" which is set at 1 - what does that do?

"Complete" which is set at 0 - what does that do?

"Low level" which is set at -200 - what does that do?

Those options are used to override the sorting (or priorities) of quests. You can use it to push completed quests to the top of the list for example. We are aware this feature is complicated and confusing. It is on the list to be revisited at some point and I recommend not messing with it unless you are a rocket scientist

I probably had messed with it, which is why i got quests far away (as in another continent) at the top of the quest watch list!

But resetting it all returned the output to more expected values

Defaults are:

Distance 1
Complete 50
Low Level 20

They are priorities for sorting quests. Higher numbers means that type is more important. 0 means it does not affect the sorting.

But doesn't quite explain it still - distance to what? Complete - quests you have completed still being show? Low level?

It is a weighting for the sort order.

Distance from you to the quest:
The closer a quest the more important it is, so it sorts to the top.

Is quest complete:
If a quest is complete the more important it is, so it sorts to the top.

Is quest lower level:
If a quest is lower level than another the more important it is, so it sorts to the top.

The sliders modify the rules. 0 would turn the rule off. If you set Completed to 0, it means it has zero effect on the sort and would turn that rule off.
