Pre-Quest:

[1/2] Egam: I’m lookin’ fer someone to help me with a personal task, but I don’ know if you are righ’ for the job.
[2/2] Egam: I hope yer still interested once you are level 47!

(If you try to enter the cave next to Egam’s shack)
[1/1] Egam: HEY! Yer not allowed in there! Shoo!


Quest:

Step 1: Talk to Egam at X: -160, Z: -987

[1/6] Egam: Hey you! You look like someone who could help me with something.
[2/6] Egam: You see, many years ago I found and raised an exceptionally rare Purple Sheep which I named Shirley.
[3/6] Egam: The wool from ‘er is worth a lot of emeralds when it has been cleaned. In fact, it’s worth far more than the pink wool that comes from Rymek!
[4/6] Egam: Unfortunately, I have become too old to shear Shirley. I didn’ want to keep ‘er out here in the cold, nor do I want to keep ‘er in my shack. Imagine the droppings I have to pick up.
[5/6] Egam: I kept ‘er in this here cave where it’s warm and has plenty of storage fer food and water if Shirley gets hungry or thirsty.
[6/6] Egam: And that’s where you come in. I want you to go in there and shear ‘er fer me. I’ll give you a nice payment if you can bring me back [1 Purple Wool]!

(After talking to Egam)

[1/1] Egam: I’m still waiting on that there [1 Purple Wool]!

Step 2: Collect the wool from Shirley.

Enter the cave and once you get near to Shirley:

You feel the ground beneath you give way from your weight, sending you tumbling down into a hole that opened up.

Step 3: Find a way out of the hole

There is a tunnel that you have to go through while fighting your way through Frozen Cave Dwellers.

Frozen Cave Dweller
Level: 48
Health: 850
Damage: 200
Strong: Water
Weak: Fire

Step 4: Make your way across the chasm

You will come across a chasm that you have to parkour across in order to get to the tunnel that’s higher up.

Step 5: Find the exit

Once you reach the tunnel at the end of the chasm, you will fight through more Frozen Cave Dwellers and reach a large room covered in leaves and packed ice.

This just leads to a dead end. Or does it?

There will be a button hidden in this large room that will open up a passageway that you can escape through.

Step 6: Bring back [1 Purple Wool] to Egam

After going through the passageway, you will come across coal blocks that teleport you behind Shirley in the cave. The hole from before is visible. Get the purple wool and make your way around the hole.

Shirley
Level: 1
Health: 1
Drop(s): Purple Wool

As you get nearer to the exit, you will transitionally teleport as you walk along. Head towards Egam with the purple wool.

[1/8] Egam: What took you so long? Shearin’ ol’ Shirley shouldn’t’ve taken you that much time!
[2/8] Egam: Actually, nevermind. What matters most is that you went and brought me purple wool.
[3/8] Egam: I’ll just take that wool off yer hands so I can clean it.

He goes into his shack to clean the purple wool. After a whole hour, Egam comes out with bright, clean wool.

[4/8] Egam: There we go! Cleaned and looking much better. This will definitely sell on the market again!
[5/8] Egam: Thank you for your help, friend! As promised, I will give you payment for yer troubles. Not that shearin’ Shirley was difficult.
[6/8] Egam: By the way, if yer ever travelin’ in the Gavel Province, do visit my younger brother, Wadsoh.
[7/8] Egam: He traveled there to do some research on the province itself. He has been there fer ten years now.
[8/8] Egam: I’ll write a letter tellin’ him to watch out fer you. I’ll give you a piece of this cleaned wool so that he’ll know that yer the one who helped me.

Coming Soon:
The tie-in quest to "A Simple Job" where you will help Wadsoh uncover the secrets of a town living in the shadow of darkness.

Meadow of Shadows​

 

Seems cool. I'm guessing Egam is Mage from your username backwards?

 

That is correct, good sir! And Wadsoh is the first part of my name "Shadow" mixed around.

________________________________

I almost forgot, what do you want to see improved in this quest?

 

i love how everybody is making bosses into their custom quests because they think every quest needs a boss because almost all gavel quests have bosses... except for 3

 

It actually kinda reminds me of Marauder's Dues. Someone tells you to go get something, then you mess up and fall into an icy cavern, before you leave and return it to the original person. Add some sort of variation or something else to make it interesting.

________________________________

but this has no boss

 

I made this quest out of the irony behind the name "A Simple Job."

 

Yes, but it is, well, quite simple, defeating the purpose of the sarcasm (not as simple as just getting the wool, but you know what I mean). Add something else interesting, like maybe shirley runs away when you find her the second time and you have to go there to catch her

 

Seems like a very easy quest for 1LE. There should be some kind of puzzle aspect to find a way out of the hole, over than just "find a secret button".

 

To be real, who the fuck would put a random button in an ice cave that you're not supposed to go to?

Hey, this is good!
The only issue I have here is the mob stats. They're a little too undetailed. Here's a mob that I made a while ago; You don't have to be so over-the-top but it helps to be as detailed as possible.

Spoiler: Draxx

Draxx
Mob: Zombie Pigman, wearing dark grey leather armor and a dispenser on it's head. Holding a Tier 2 Fire Wand.
Level: 70
HP: 4012
Regen: 167
Damage: 403-476
Spell: Teleport
AI: Running
Ranged
Shoots Fire in a fashion similar to the Goblin Haxer
Elemental Damage: ✹
Elemental Defense: ✦
Elemental Weakness: ❉

 

See I like the fact that you're sharing your ideas and all but I think if you want this to go on the be an actual quest you should include this in your GM application, I understand you want to get an idea of if people like it or not so only reveal a very small part of it if you believe it is a good quest.

Other than that, I like your creativity a lot and an improvement I would give is hinting that the wood is old and brittle so that you can understand that you must be careful while walking over the hole, you can hint by mentioning it in Egam's sentences.

 

See, I would hint it in Egam's sentences, but I want to surprise the person into thinking "This seems a bit too easy," and when they fall, they go "I KNEW IT!"

 

...but anyone reading this suggestion wouldn't be suprised, ruining any point to not add that in, right?
