    How quests works

    Quest works with different stages. You can only progress in the quest if the stages go up. Once there are no stages left to the quest, it is considered done.

    We use .yml to store the quests info. There are 4 YMLs in total: quest.yml, npc.yml, message.yml and region.yml. (BUT IN YOUR CASE, WE WILL JUST REGROUP EVERYTHING IN ONE YML)


    Quest:

    Here’s an example of quest.yml


    - name: Ice Nations (name of the quest)

    startingLevel: 40 (min level required to start quest)

    starter: 'Adigard' (name of the starter npc)

    xp: 30000 (xp rewarded at the end of the quest)

    questStages: (stage description for quest book)

    - 'Talk to Adigard on the Icy Islands at [806,59,-3353]' #Stage 1

    - 'Talk to Hallfred about the peace treaty' #Stage 2

    - 'Talk back to Adigard about Hallfred^s response' #Stage 3

    - 'Find the ghost ship and bring back [Ancient Treasure] to Hallfred' #Stage 4
    successMessages: (message player get when quest is done)

    - '&6[Quest Completed: Ice Nations]'

    - '&7[+30000 Experience Points]'

    - '&7[+256 Emeralds]'

    - '&7[+1 Climbing Helmet]'

    ALWAYS add the coord of the NPC in the book, and every items in brackets (ex. [2 Stonebrick], without plural)

    As you can see the bold text shows that items need to not be plural, but singular. However what I don't understand is why it says +256 Emeralds and not +256 Emerald? (Italic and underlined text).

    Not really a complex reason behind it, as far as I know; the player knows what emeralds are, but when it comes to quest items the exact spelling without plural can be helpful when trying to find or look it up.
    Then again, exceptions can be made depending on context; there's no fixed rule for that.

    Plus, I wouldn't exactly take the GM doc word for word as most of it is outdated.
