    Hey guys!

    We're hard at work on the new update that will include a bunch of new quests and more reworks (or in some cases, complete removal and replacement). We are as such, replacing some of the worst of the gavel quests.

    When Gavel was being made, it was my first time taking on managing the quests and story creation and it's fair to say some of them suck a lot. They have little world lore involved and just had a boss at the end, not very inventive.

    So, with this slight revisit, we have an opportunity to fix up and make clearer some of the lore of gavel. But first I need to get a better idea of where people are misunderstanding. So, if you wanna help me out - Can you reply with a BRIEF summary of your understanding of gavel and if you have any blaring questions or something that doesn't make sense.

    The idea will be with one of these quest reworks to clear some things up for the playerbase. I understand Gavel is a little messy but also cool in some areas, I want to straighten things out.

    Also for those of you wondering this update will take quite a long time but there's some great stuff in the works.

    Cheers,

    Grian

    Replayable quests aren't a thing for us unfortunately. We will however be adding plenty of new and exciting content that will hopefully help with the stale issue.

    Yeah, they kind of are, but also aren't. It needs clearing up for sure.

    One of the issues i face is that some things need to be explained in the main story line (they are that important) and so it means somethings dont make sense in between. When we made gavel, the MSL was planned for the gavel update - but obviously that never happened so there are lots of things unexplained.

    To put it shortly:

    To this day, I still like Gavel. Of course, my main issue with it are the huge abundance of boss fights at the end of quests, plus the confusing mess of the Decay storyline.

    I would also like to see a rework of the Gert storyline, as while it's pretty good I feel like it could be better...

    In general Gavel can be very mixed in terms of quality. On one hand you have all the great builds and quests like Memory Paranoia and Cowfusion. But on the other hand you have stuff like Star Thief and Eye of the Storm.

    Mostly agree with you there!

    All new quests will not involve a boss fight at all.

    Those quests are being destroyed and remade from a new, to include plenty of lore to make sense.

    I like my Gerts tho ;_;

    Imo, the worst part about gavel is there’s too many issues. With Wynn, the only issue is the corruption. With gavel, there’s the decay, the dwarf-dogun war, the ahms region being fractured, etc. I’m not saying you should remove molten heights and sky islands, but decay should be more prominent of an issue.

    Also, revamp eye of the storm, as well as many other quests I can’t be bothered to list

    By the way gavel is not the focus of this update at all, it's just part of some of the content we want to revisit. I may have spoiled a small part of the update, but theres still plenty of new and exciting things you will get to enjoy!

    So uh, all I'd recommend is look at the threads that say "Worst / Most Forgettable Quests".

    About everyone hates "Eye of the Storm".

    "Reclaiming The House" isn't memorable at all. (I forget about it until my next run, had to search it up)

    Lots of people hate the airship part in "Royal Trials" (although I personally think it's too easy and is fun).

    The Light series has mixed feelings (please get that dungeon out as well)

    That one prison break quest is cool and uses nice mechanics but is forgettable as well.

    Those two quests in Llevigar (Green Skinned Trouble and something else) areboth fetchy, boring, and forgettable.

    And there are more

    gerts are cool i like those too their quests are good and fun
    I really enjoy the story part of how the gerts are hungry and the humans are taking the food the game play parts of the quest are decent as well


    EDIT o the quest in the light realm feels to grindy increasing the drop rate of the items by the mobs would help and also theres a lot of running in it

    Edit The Elf Quest were you get drugged is cool
    The airship quests are amazing
    RUNNING around the airship bay is fun

    What are about quests like
    The Maiden Tower?
    How does they fit in the lore of gavel?

    And please add some more hints to the Clearing the Camps quest.
