The gong quest is.. ridiculous. There definitely aught to be a note on it
that it requires aid of other players. I tried to complete it half a dozen
times before finding out about dimension doors. That is not so cool. Not
to mention my 2nd to last attempt was going to be a success before a clone
event obliterated me. Well, that is that. Really really terrible luck I
suppose. Anyways, fun quest once you get the help required to complete it.
I even made the high scores list.

a huge bronze gong <red glow>
You strike the gong.
A huge cloud of smoke suddenly appears out of the center of the gong. You are
unable to see anything.
As the smoke quickly vanishes away you notice that your surroundings have
changed.
You have hit the gong 5 times. This has taken you 17 min 54 sec.
You made the high score list!
Congratulations! You have just completed Gong!
You receive 4228 gold as a reward for completing the quest.
