World Give More Items Quest Reqs

basically quests are supposed to be a fundamental part of rpgs
in wynn, quests carry a lot of weight in the way of experience, lore, and gameplay. even so, i constantly see players skipping them, therefore skipping content
by locking items behind quests, it encourages players to do quests in order to gain access to the items

the only issue i see with this is that many quests are unenjoyable. however, those unenjoyable quests (cough llevigar olux) have plans to be reworked in the future so it shouldn't be a problem as long as slaves GMs can successfully make the quests better

 

any ideas tho?

 

for an idea such as this, there's no real point in adding examples since everything is quite self explanatory

 

Here are a few I've thought of:

Drale's Hide/Bylvis' Pitchfork: Req: Tunnel Trouble
The Parasite: Req: Worm Holes
Justice: Req: Murder Mystery
Hamsey's Brilliance: Req: Recipe for Disaster
Iron Will: Req: An Iron Heart Part 2
Anything with Bob in the name: Req: Bob's Lost Soul
Hive Thunder Items: Req: Heart of Llevigar
Hive Air Items: Req: Flight in Distress
Hive Earth Items: Req: The Hunger of Gerts Part 2
Hive Water Items: Req: Purple and Blue
Hive Fire Items: Req: The Belly of the Beast
Galleon: Req: Redbeard's Booty
Shatterglass: Req: Green Skinned Trouble
Rashyroth's Knowledge: Req: Temple of the Legends
Krolton's Cruelty: Req: Beyond the Grave

 

The thing is that a lot of people just don’t feel like doing quests, and I feel that should be the choice of the players. I like Wynn since you can choose how you want to play the game. You can explore, you can grind, you can do quests, but it’s always your choice. Locking so many items behind quests punishes people for not doing stuff they don’t enjoy.

Imagine lootrunning, but half the items you get you can’t use since you didn’t do the required quests. For example, on my level 99 mage I still haven’t done some random quests like Hollow Sirene or Hidden City (since its broken), there might be items I want to use but can’t until I do a quest that I really don’t enjoy.

And also, if a quest breaks (like Hidden City), a ton of items would be locked away from the players for long periods of time.

 

i have a few thoughts
Spectrum: Shattered Mines
Neuron: Heart of Llevigar
Speaker: Hollow Sirene (or any other quests that involve sound, as Hollow Sirene isn't that fun)
Filter Mask: The Canary Calls
Conflagarate: The Belly of the Beast
Ogre Faceplate: A Fighting Species
Jungle Sludge: Corrupted Betrayal
Rekkr: Hunger of the Gerts Part 2
Leviathan: Fantastic Voyage
Ahms' Remains: The Fortuneteller

thats really all i had thought about right now

 

Are you saying that Heart of llevigar was unenjoyable?

 

Hmm... I think this would actually be good. And now thinking about it more, I feel like it would be interesting if every mythic had a quest requirement.

I was gonna make a list but I could barely come up with anything. All I got was this:

Discoverer: The Thanos Vaults
Singularity/Nullification/Freedom/Collapse: The Hive

didn't know an actual thread existed but it is 5 months old :P

Anyways, I'm not gonna bother making a suggestion thread for it seeing as it was just an idea off from this thread

 

I'm pretty sure Corrupted Betrayal is the quest you're looking for.

 

yeah

 

I can understand quest requirements for quest items, but that’s it. It doesn’t change the game for those who already do all of the quests, and makes it annoying for those who simply didn’t want to do the quest because the quest was broken or annoying or they were too overleveled. Most quests in the game are meant/designed as side quests, which should be always optional in a RPG. The best way to make sure people actually play the quests is to make a main storyline.

 

maybe remove that bit with rayshyroth's knowledge
after all it is a level 66 item and ToL is 68

 

It's not like you're required to use these items, they're just as optional as the quests themselves.

 

Technically yes, but if those items have no better alternatives in your build, then you have to. It would also make lesser items even worse.

 

Awesome! Encourages more players to do quests
