1. Speak to the King of Cinfras



[1/5]King: Hello you must be one of the brave warriors of the Wynn Province.

[2/5]King: I need your help…

[3/5]King: You know there is a society, named the Shadow Men, which wants to kill me and the other kings of Gavel to take over the whole province.

[4/5]King: You have to defeat them before they come for me!

[5/5]King: But first talk to my police chief, he should be able to tell you more about them.


2. Talk to the Police Chief at the Prison



[1/4]Police Chef: Oh, hello, what can I do for you?

[2/4]Police Chef: So the King sends you to fight the Shadow Men?

[3/4]Police Chef: Okay, but I can’t help you I don’t know more about them you.

[4/4]Police Chef: However we caught one of them some days ago, he is in the cell over there, so maybe you could interrogate him.


3. Interview the Prisoner about the Shadow Men



[1/5]Prisoner: Yeah, it’s right I belonged to the Shadow Men, but I left them a day before I was caught.

[2/5]Prisoner: I wanted to tell them all about the Shadow Men, however they sentenced me to death.

[3/5]Prisoner: I asked if they would set me free, if I tell everything, but they told me I will die anyway.

[4/5]Prisoner: So I didn’t tell anything.

[5/5]Prisoner: However if you can get me a [Letter of Reprieve] from the police chef I will tell it to you.





4. Talk to the Police Chef about the [Letter of Reprieve]



[1/5]Police Chef: He wants what?!

[2/5]Police Chef: A [letter of reprieve]!

[3/5]Police Chef: No way! ...

[4/5]Police Chef:(Sighs)… but it’s for the King, isn’t it?

[1/5]Police Chef: Tell you what, my brother Sam has a bad disease and the medicine is difficult to get, so if you help his doctor cure him, I will give you the[Letter of Reprieve].


5. Speak to the doctor of Sam



[1/7]Doctor: Oh, hello, I hope you aren’t a new patient.

[2/7]Doctor: I have enough to do with this one here. He has the terrible Canyon Fever and I don’t have any of the medicine he needs.

[3/7]Doctor: Oh, you want to help me with the medicine?

[4/7]Doctor: That’s great!

[5/7]Doctor: You could help me best by getting the ingredients of the medicine.

[6/7]Doctor: I need [3 Cultivated Aerolia Flowers], which you can get in the Botanical Garden near the south exit of this town.

[7/7]Doctor: I also need one [Potion of Healing V] and a [Red Powder II] to mix the medicine.


6. Get the ingredients for the medicine.

When the Player tries to enter the Botanical Garden, he is stopped and a dialogue with the Botanist starts.


[1/3]Botanist: Whoa, my friend, be careful this Garden is dangerous.

[1/3]Botanist: Oh, you need [3 Cultivated Aerolia Flowers] for a medicine?

[1/3]Botanist: Okay, I will let you enter, but there are some mystical plants inside which don’t like visitors, especially if they try picking some of their friends.




If the Player talks to the Botanist again a new dialogue starts:



[1/2]Botanist: Oh, you don’t know where to find the flowers?

[2/2]Botanist: They are at the end of the garden, in a small flower bed.


7. Hand the ingredients to the doctor


[1/5]Doctor: Perfect, you got everything!

[2/5]Doctor: I will mix the ingredients together.

[Sound effects]

[3/5]Doctor: And now I will give our patient the medicine.

[4/5]Doctor: The Fever is gone, he is completely cured, what a luck that we had you.

[5/5]Doctor: Here take his medical report as reminder.

Player gets [The Police Chief’s Brother Medical Report].


8. Hand the medical report to the Police Chief


[1/5]Police Chef: He’s alright?

[2/5]Police Chef: My brother is cured completely?

[3/5]Police Chef: Thank you so, so much…

[4/5]Police Chef: …and like I promised, here is the [Letter of Reprieve] you asked for.

[5/5]Police Chef: And now go and get the information we need!


9. Hand the [Letter of Reprieve] to the Prisoner


[1/5]Prisoner: You really got it?

[2/5]Prisoner: Wow I’ll finally survive, thank you so, so, so much…

[3/5]Prisoner: Oh sorry, I was so happy I almost forget to give you the information. Hehe.

[4/5]Prisoner: So okay, the Shadow Men have a secret hideout, it`s east from here. The entrance is between two mountains, it looks like a cave and is under guard.

[5/5]Prisoner: The leader of the Shadow Man is called “The Shadow King” he is in the Hall of the Shadows, inside their hideout, you have to kill him, the Shadow Man wouldn’t be anything without him.


10. Talk to the Police Chief about the hideout


[1/2]Police Chef: A cave in the east, he said?

[2/2]Police Chef: Go there and tell me if it’s true!


11. Go to the cave and try to enter it.

When the Player tries to enter the Guard stops him


[1/2]Shadow Guard: Hey, what the Nether are you doing here?

[2/2]Shadow Guard: Go away or I kill you!

After the guard sent you away, you hide behind a rock to observe the cave a little bit longer.
Some minutes later, you see a man wearing a mask going towards the guard.


[1/4]Shadow Guard: Hello Shadow Man.

[2/4]Shadow Guard: You want to enter?

[3/4]Shadow Guard: Then please solve our puzzle first.

[4/4]Shadow Guard: I am bigger than an elephant, but lighter than a feather.

Then you see the Shadow Man whispering something to the Guard, and you decide to report it to the Police Chief.



12. Talk back to the Police Chef


[1/5]Police Chef: So is there really a cave?

[2/5]Police Chef: Perfect, but what about the guard, I think he won’t let you go near the cave one more time.

[3/5]Police Chef: I know, you need a Shadow Man Mask.

[4/5]Police Chef: My friend can make good masks, he has a mask shop at the west entrance of the town.

[5/5]Police Chef: Go ask him about what he can do, and if you get the mask try to solve the puzzle and go into the cave and kill the Shadow King.


13. Speak to the Mask Maker


[1/8]Mask Maker: Hello, what can I do for you?

[2/8]Mask Maker: A Shadow Men Mask, are you crazy?

[3/8]Mask Maker: You shouldn’t make fun of them!

[4/8]Mask Maker: Oh, the Police Chef sent you to me?

[5/8]Mask Maker: Okay, but I need some special materials for the mask.

[6/8]Mask Maker: As base I need a [Bear Mask] from the bear zoo in Wynn.

[7/8]Mask Maker: For the color you have to bring me [5 Ink Sacks], from the squids in the river, outside this city.

[8/8]Mask Maker: And for the details bring me [2 Red Powder II], [1 Blue Powder I], [1 Green Powder I] and [3 Bonemeal].


14. Give the materials to the Mask Maker


[1/5]Mask Maker: Good, you got everything.

[2/5]Mask Maker: Now wait a minute, I’ll make you the mask.

[3/5]Mask Maker: Here, your Shadow Men Mask, you won’t get a better one.

[4/5]Mask Maker: But now go, I’ve a lot of work to do.

[5/5]Mask Maker: And good luck!


15. Try to enter the cave again.


[1/5]Shadow Guard: Hello Shadow Man.

[2/5]Shadow Guard: You want to enter?

[3/5]Shadow Guard: Than please solve our puzzle first.

[4/5]Shadow Guard: I am bigger than an elephant, but lighter than a feather.

[5/5]Shadow Guard: I am a…

16. Go to the Shadow King in the Hall of The Shadows

When the Player tries to enter the hall of the Shadows another Guard stops him.


[1/4]Shadow King Guard: Hey you, stop, nobody enters the Hall of the Shadows without appointment.

[2/4]Shadow King Guard: Let me check you, you look a kind of weird to me.

[3/4]Shadow King Guard: You aren’t a Shadow Man!!!

[1/7]King: You defeated them and killed their leader?

[2/7]King: And as he died you found this essence and his chestplate?

[3/7]King: But the chestplate seems to be useless, it’s only crap…

[4/7]King: …oh, look maybe the essence will make the chestplate better.

[5/7]King: I have heard of a Blacksmith near Ternaves in the Wynn Province, maybe he can combine them.

[6/7]King: But wait, I almost forgot your reward.

[5/9]Blacksmith: Wait, I’ll combine them.

[Anvil Sounds]

[8/9]Blacksmith: It is certainly the most powerful armor I’ve seen!

[9/9]Blacksmith: Here, I hope it will protect you well, my friend.

Players gets:

- The Shadow King’s Chestplate (Legendary)



[Quest completed]

 

You expect a lvl 75 to fight a lvl 200. And that armour too op for it's level

 

It was just my first idea, it could also be Lvl. 85 or higher

 

The king of gavel... Who? Where? Huh? King of a province?

 

I wrote the quest before Geval was out, so i did not know how it will look like. Maybe you could say something like the king of Cinfras

 

Ok cool. Great idea btw. Might need to raise the lvl for the quest tho

 

This is a good suggestion.

[1/1] Temmie: Make the dialogue look like this!

 

It just goes on and on... It's basically just a drawn out Boss Kill quest.

 

My, my, someone who actually wrote the mob statistics. I would tell you how I feel about this, but I don't know since it's 1/1,000,00 that people write them

 

Okay. This could use some working on.
1. It looks 10 times nicer when you use the proper quest text. [1/1] The One-eyed Guy: Like this.
2. Same with the armor. Like this.

Spoiler: Armor Example

Kekington

+420 Health

Lv. Min: 69
Quest Req: Admin Killer

+20% Swoodness
+20 Attack Damage
-30% Spell Damage

This is a rad weapon yo, let's test the lore to see how long it can go.
[0/1] Slots
Legendary Item

3. Also, 1000 HP for a Level 70 mob is so 1.13. Higher. I'd rework the stats for you if I wasn't finishing up my own quest.
4. So far we can only have one spell per boss. Sorry.
5. This is like Temple of Legends but in Gavel. Talk to guy --> talk to guy --> repeat 4 times --> get stuff --> talk to guy --> get stuff --> go to place --> get stuff --> kill boss.

 

Yeah definitely needs to raise the level requirement...

 

The health is 666,666? Damage is 3333? Dude This is like a level 100 quest.. If you want it level 75, lower the boss down and the mobs lower it a tiny bit

 

I started to change the formating of the text and raised the level requirement.
In the next days I will also change the mob statstics to more suitable values and finish the new format.
Please keep writing comments, and don't forget to vote "Yes, it is awesome!" if you like the quest.

 

Thanks for the ideas, I will start to improve my quest!

 

I like the idea. I've liked most quests out their. But 666,666 Health? That's a bit insane. Qira is meant to be killed at around level 100 and she has 350,000 health.... Don't you think it's too much health? The fight would just be boring and extremely difficult considering the time to kill.

EDIT: a level 85 quests probs 200k health and 2.3k damage is fair..

 

it just keeps going on, and on... I like the helmet design tho. and, Finish the dialogue for Bob's sake...

 

Dialogs are now finished and now Item and Mob stats are coming!

 

Changed Dialogs and Armor Stats, I hope its not to small to read

 

One problem I see with this.
"A same NPC cannot be in multiple quests"
The Blacksmith already is used in Bob's Lost Soul.
Maybe just Identifying it is a better way, like most of the other tier items that quests give you.

 

First off, this is pretty amazing. You've put down the mob stats, you've given the quest in full, you've even gotten most of the dialogue. Overall, I'd rate this 8/10.

Why the missing 2.0? It feels as though portions of the quest are just the same old "fetch" quest section - especially the mask-maker part. What's more, your boss/Shadow classes are absurdly high level. Even Shadow Amadel and the CoW are only level 100. Even Bob, of all people, is just level 110.

Furthermore, there are some grammatical errors in your quest dialogue, ones that I will submit fixes for if you will allow me to. Secondly, will there be pre-quest dialogue for the characters, and methods to keep players out of the Shadow Cave before they start the quest?
