Questing with a purpose

[-Z-]

In all games you have those 'completionist' type players. I'd like to suggest a few things to be done with quests.

1) Give a total # of completed quests in your bio like npc kills and pks/deaths.
2) Give a 15pp reward for completeing every quest once includeing re-doables quests (excludeing class specific quests)
3) Have a bench mark, after every 100 quests you are rewarded 5pp. (Thus after the completion of every quest, you will have to do repeatable quests to achieve this more than once and I'm not 100% sure but most repeatables have a day or 2timer reset)

This would give an alternate and 'natural' way to farm just a handful of pp (great for those who miss moshes/events) while encourageing more people to do quests. Feedback pls.

Edited: If possible, would have to make the repeatable quests tied into your account instead of indivual characters to avoid exploitation. -Z-

I like it.

Could even rip off every other major gaming platform and introduce achievements with progression bars
Achievements on other platforms are normally account based rather than character based though.
Quests here are character based.

Completed 8/10 Canopia Quests


Only potential thing i see against this is make sure it's not exploitable

Yea. If possible tie in the repeatable quests to your account instead of individual characters

The quest count would be a nice little addition to /i.

The PP award would be nice, but could make it worth less if it becomes farmable by creating alts just to do quests. Any small increment of PP rewards would have to be account based to prevent it being exploited.

Could there be a list so we know all the quests instead or just finding out about some

[Ohko]

The wiki have all the quests that are currently available. I think it is only missing 2 quests, 1 from Wiken and Huldar each.

OOOOoooo
I quite like this idea! I am one of those completionist types.
Just a question, how do you envisiage this happening for chars that already ended all their quests?

I like the idea of achievements system as well. We could even span past quests (total mob kills, types of mob kills, one for certain bosses, etc). I had suggested pp for boss kills a while back (boss might drop 2-4 1pp tokens a kill). However hawk wants to keep pp event based which I agree with. In a lot of games there is pvp currency (pp) and then there is pve currency if we introduced that with its own rewards I think that's where quest achievements and boss kills would fall.

Maybe that's the currency you would use to buy embers, necklace, rings?, change scrolls etc?

Achievements themselves would be kind of cool to add with small rewards for doing so. Would make some things more interesting/fun. Not sure about preventing abuse with multiple accounts yet though so I'd assume we'd have to make sure they are some actual good achievements. Even if someone for example wanted to do all the quests it would take some time no matter how you look at it (which is good.).
