On the 2.1 changelog, Salted mentioned that the WynnExcavation questline is both outdated and a series they wish to revamp. And that got me thinking; what is the oldest unchanged quest in Wynncraft right now?I decided to compile a list of every quest currently in Wynn, and I will list when it was first added, and when it was revamped (got major changes that alter how players see the quest) or edited (got something small, like a new reward or quest stage). Technically, updates like Gavel which added elements, or Rekindled World that redid mob AI would change every single quest to an extent, so I'm not counting those. In the end, what I've made is a compiled history of every quest currently in the game! At the end, I'll answer my original question of which quest has remained unchanged the longest, as well as maybe a few others.

So, to answer my original question:There are still a bunch of quests that from when quests were originally added to the game which have received minimal revamps. In particular, Lost Tower got its last notable change in 2014 (its level was moved from 26 to 24 pretty recently, but that's so miniscule I didn't count it).
Once we get to 1.13, where there was a clear increase in the quality of quests, we start finding content that basically hasn't been changed apart from updating models and mob stats. Examples of this include Troubled Tribesmen, Grand Youth, and yes, WynnExcavation Site A.
But, none of those are the most unchanged quest in the game. Because that title goes to none other than... Haven Antiquity.
Judging by the wiki, I genuinely think this quest hasn't changed at all in the past 10 years, unless you count the fact that they gave mobs elemental stats. NPCs still use villager models, and one of them is even named "Cinfras". The quest consists of going to a place, kill mobs, bring back their drops, go to a place, repeat once. It is the ultimate time capsule of 2014 Wynncraft, so savor that while you can.
I hope you enjoyed this thread!
