Are they really worth doing after a certain point?

Rewards seem to be pretty minimal. You kill 4 bone knights and get 30 gold and a health potion for instance.

I guess my question is, how many quests did you guys do before you shifted your focus over to the city? Did anyone stick out the quests for awhile and notice that the rewards got better and more worthwhile as you progressed?


NOTE: I'm not saying not to do the quests, because the first batch (goblins and gathering) are a great tutorial for the game). Just wondering if it makes sense to keep doing them after awhile or not.

Tonto, I didnt do any of the quests..I just ran to Khosgar hit the spawn tool chest and started resourcing and skilling up my swords and shield and getting my stats up and I still am..

I was TOLD that the first three quests are really all you need do, both to become acustomed to the UI and for a bit of scratch, someone said 300gp but that seems unlikely to me, either way get your ass to Khosgar =)

I did quests in the noob area until I felt I had enough gold to be self sufficient without using tool chests (I didn't know they existed yet). I had about 4 sets of weapons in the bank, maybe 1 set of leather type armor, and like 300 gold. Then I left to Khosgar.

The main thing is your ability to kill mobs. Once you can do that, you can kill kobolds etc around Khosgar and pretty easily keep yourself in minimal gold and noob gear.

Your harvesting skills should eventually bring you to a point where you can reliably keep yourself in banded, decent weapons, and mounts, but I have to say it takes quite a bit of farming time to farm up a mount and full set of banded. You can usually get your decent weapons from a farm group or you can have them made if you can't farm up the right mobs.

I did quests up to sorgom where the mobs for the next quest were not spawning (a while ago), then just fucked around until i met up with KGB. I don't feel the need to go back and continue the quest line. The first few quests are quite handy but can be very annoying at the goblin spawns.

The initial information about quests and such might be a bit dated. Honestly we did them the first couple of days to get cash and gear. We had to grind everything we could to get money to buy the city. Now our area is pretty secure and you can mine and kill mobs in a less conflicted environment, ie noob goblin spawns are ridiculous.

So either way is really fine - grind out as many quests as you want and move to Khosgar when you are ready or if frustration from the noob zones gets to you.

IMO the newb quests are worth it up til the bone knight quest. It gets you used to the GUI, a decent amount of $$ - 300 or so through the first 10 quests. It gets you some weapons, tools, bags, armor etc. I would say do them and then head over to the city. I would also say to avoid a lot of frustration in the newb towns - do not join the guild until you are done and heading towards the city. That is when you should guild up.

I need to go hand in a quest in Shoal so if you need help let me know and I will head over there next time I get a chance.

I'm blocked on a good number of quests :
- the melek symbol in the melechar village : couldn't find it.
- the artefaq in the Chamber of fire : never saw it.
- the undead dwarves relic : couldn't find it either.
- the necro book in the severii fortress : don't want to spawn in the sole chest.

If any of you completed one of the three first (I know someone got the fourth one), I'd be happy to have a confirmation they're achievable.

Like arkh theres a few of s doing the mid level quest lines if you wanna call them that

Just because we got spare time and i personally wanna know how the temp of the god king ends currently its giving like 125 gold 2 pieces of banded and some pots/food in the 9th or 10th tier which is meant for some mid stat/skilled players

Might get extremely hard but i don't know yet
Posted By: Tonto_KGB Re: Quests - 04/18/09 02:48 PM
Yea, I got up to the Temple of the God King and all of the monsters were WAY harder then the previous ones I was fighting so I just took off for town.

I might head back to it later, but I think my focus is going to be on building skills up and gathering mats for the guild.
Posted By: Arkh Re: Quests - 04/18/09 02:54 PM
PvP quests are currently bugged : the kills on guildies and allies are counted.
You should go to Shoal get them (kill 3 humans, then 3 mirdain then 2 orks + 2 mahirim + 2 dwarves), that's 400 gold to get easily.
Posted By: Arkh Re: Quests - 04/19/09 11:49 AM
Someone explained me the trick for the quests I was blocked : you can use the action key even if there's no special icon.
So, for the book one, I had to use F on some books till I got it.
For the Melechar one, it's just in the village next to our city, this chest :


For the dwarf god symbol, you have to hit some block near the stone hand just next to the dungeon portal (don't hit the portal) :


For the Chamber of fire quest, just hit the altar in the fire elementals room.

So, if you get other quests of this kind, you should be able to complete them easily now.
Posted By: Arkh Re: Quests - 04/25/09 06:29 PM
Current quests status :
- Bel Melek / Dun Amsharra : complete
- Akathos / Sorgom : complete
- Nishira : complete
- Deep Yishku / Dulguna : lot of quests still open
I don't know if there's any other quest line.

I currently need to get killshots on 3 serpentines, 2 hill giants sluggers, 4 ogres bosses and get something back in Shoal.
All help would be appreciated in killing these mobs.

I'm still doing the noob quests, but right now I'm supposed to kill Kobolds, and in the kobold villages on my map, NO FRACKIN' KOBOLDDS ever spawn, so I feel like I'm spinning my wheels. My sword skills are only 20 and bow is like 10, and haven't done much with magery yet. Should I can this and try to hoof to KGB city, or what?
Posted By: Owain Re: Quests - 04/25/09 10:18 PM
I've decided to head out of the noob area, and make my way to KGB city - So. Where is that?
Posted By: Arkh Re: Quests - 04/26/09 03:28 PM
All quests finished. Thanks Scrawl for your help.

Posted By: Arkh Re: Quests - 05/15/09 08:19 PM
I think I took all the new quests. And I think I'll need some help : mobz are awful to kill. So, I'll need :
- 3 resonant stormrunes, skinned from arthain (lol at their lore)
- 2 quartz and 1 vile spike. Skinned from Crogs.
- 1 Ichor and 1 Numen. I have the numen.
- kill 6 Nadhruk. Tough guys.
- Kill 2 Nadhruk in 1 hour.
- 2 Evil eye Bile. Skinned off Evil eyes.
- Kill 3 Nalaeds and 3 Darkweavers. Found in the dungeon north west of Khosgar (the revenant one).
- Kill 2 Hordegaunts. Tough when solo naked.
- Get 2 Eodrin eyes. Eodrins are immune to too much shit.

What is the reward for these insane quests?
Posted By: Arkh Re: Quests - 05/15/09 09:38 PM
Some shit, 150g and good items (like Alfar shield) and pots for each one. Yup, still not worth it, and it's like all near vindi city :

I just hope to unlock some big clan quest down the line.
Posted By: Arkh Re: Quests - 05/17/09 11:31 AM
Progress so far :
- resonant runes, Hare should give me the 3 needed and I'll just have to validate the quest.
- Quartz and vile spike : done.
- Ichor and Numen : should be easy, I already have the numen.
- Nadhurk : done. Good gold drop too.
- Evil eye : well, hard moffo there. I have a seller but at 100g each it's a little too much, better try to kill one.
- Nalaed and Darkweavers : I killed the 3 Darkweavers, I need to kill 3 Nalaed and there's a camp just next to Andruk.
- Hordegaunts : tough. They wear R50 bows, spawn 4 at a time and don't take much damages from mount. If you find some near Andruk, I'll be glad to get a group to do that.
- Eodrin eyes. Fuck'em. MM : no damage registered. Fireballz, same thing. Rep told me arrows have problem hitting them and a mount only scratch them a little while taking huge damages. And the camp I know spawn them 4 at a time.

You can't give up on that quest, it'll be worth 280 gold, 1 major health pot and a R20 1h Axe.
Posted By: Arkh Re: Quests - 05/23/09 02:29 PM
I'm currently losing the race to be the first to complete the quests. So I'll try this evening to get a group going.
