From daily quests to weekly, away from home.

[Elysia]

For a while now, we've been seeing players play these daily quests in ways that aren't intended, nor are conducive to general gameplay.

For example:

• Stock up on quest items and log on, turn in and back off in a matter of minutes. And/or port to object and port back.
• Hop from alt to alt doing these, with the potential to master multiple characters simultaneously, without ever really committing to playing them and logging off once done.

We don't consider this real play. This is a Multi-User game and neither of these lead to sticking around in order to play with others, plus I feel no one should get a good chunk of master doing the same repeat activity in a limited set of zones while barely investing in a character.

Soul's quests are a result of me voicing the wish that we could replace dailies with something that lead to people sticking around and grouping, which could then lead to smobbing and other activities including other players. Now that Soul's quests are in, the question was whether to axe dailies completely or re-work them. Upon tinkering, I found out a way to make mobol fire on a certain day of the week, allowing it to rotate between a quest on a weekly basis.

So, three birds one stone: a rotating weekly quest in central areas. Every Friday, it will pick one of 15 quests that you can complete the following week. I have collected these from the existing dailies. So: less repetition, it puts people in the center of the map and makes them take a bit longer to complete, since they aren't just confined to one's homeland and surrounds.

On top of the existing loads for these quest mobs/ items, additional loads have been placed basically between Deven Ride to Irinjavar and from Cut to Jangai Pass and Tear Fade.

The quest mob itself is located at an inn in Aringill: a slick middleman. SAY ISSUE QUEST to get him to list this week's quest.

The daily quests for LS will be removed. I will have to review the Seanchan ones and then see what I'm going to do with those.

Addendum:

Someone notified me that some people think the quests rotate weekly, but can still be completed daily. This is not the case. You can complete them once a week.

However, 4 out of the 15 quests award two qps now, because of the toughness of the target, the danger of the location or the distance needed to travel to find these.
