SPOILER Quest Speculation Re-upload Dont Break This Pls

re-uploaded due to someone breaking the old thread

alright, so now that the change blog has dropped I decided to make a thread where people can discuss the new quests. I'm originally only going to give my theory on the quest "the canary calls".

So basically, there's a gas leak and you go to fix it, simple. While you're in the mine looking for the source, the gas explodes and causes the mine to collapse, whether is be accidental or intentional, you're stuck in the mine and you must look for another way out. As the gas is still toxic to humans, you begin to hallucinate, Quite possibly a canary, as suggested by the summary in the change blog. So while under the influence of the gas, you're guided out of the mine by the call of a canary, whether it be a hallucination or not.

So, what do you think about my prediction? I'll be adding more quest speculation later on probably

Good day

 

A quest that got my attention was The Canyon Guides. The thing that got my attention was "in this quest you need to drag a poor lost soul all the way across the canyon to salvation.He will follow you as best he can, but you'll have to protect him from all the canyon creatures!". Hm.. How will this be made? Will it be a mob with "blue name" AI ( idk how this AI is named ). What will happen if he die? Will you die? Hmm...

 

Explosion/fire/fainting ==}. Coolest cutscene awaits

 

I'm pretty sure if the gas exploded while you were in there, you would die.

Plus, this is probably just referencing something that already exists. Canaries were used by miners in real life to alert them of gas leaks; the canaries would be dead from the gas before the miners even noticed it. This system was great for warning miners in advance to evacuate.

 

alright i didnt know that, thanks.

 

I remember hearing that somewhere, forget where tho.

 

Canaries were also used for air testing in general. If that canarie drops dead, so will you

 

Enter the Dojo: Lvl 89 "Master Miyagi has been teaching his students for years, but none of them can pass his trials, can you?" Oh god please not another ToA/Qira Hive. (Porbably/Hopefully isn't though.) However I am 99% sure this quest is in the cherry blossom area here: https://map.wynncraft.com/#/598/64/-5627/max/0/0

 

The Hunger Games, most likely

 

same

 

Probably more like General's Orders but the ending fight is the final test instead of a weird creature.

nuuu

 

I read "Enter the Dojo" as "Enter the Dodo" at first. I was confused until I read it a second time.

 

... >:( Stupid changeblog thread won't load, gives me an error 502. I'm missing out ;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;

 

Wasn't the gas toxic to villagers and not humans? ._.

 

It was less toxic to humans

 

Hello everyone!

So this update has been mainly centered around gameplay features - hence the name of the update (duh). But we on the content team have been cooking up some interesting changes of our own!

But before I list off the very short list of quests, I need to explain a few things; one, half of the work we've been putting in over the last 6 months haven't actually been for this particular update. I know, weird thought, huh. This update addresses mainly gameplay stuff. We have actually been working on brand new areas for the NEXT update (not this one). In development, we have to often think about things way in advance of when they happen. Basically, this update, while there are some really cool physical revamps of places such as old towns and quests, there won't be any new areas. Meme landconfirmed.

Alright, next thing; I want to thank the GM team for putting together the small quest list for this update. A lot of you will be very upset that there is a severe lack of quests, and I don't want you to blame the GM's at all. There are a very small amount of people on the GM team, and they all have varying amounts of time they caninput to Wynn (they have lives too - guys!). So this would probably be a good time to tell you that after this update we will be revamping our GM application system to try and make it a lot easier tounderstand what it takes to be a GM and make the whole process a lot smoother in general, and hopefully we'll have the community jump to the call to help usmake new stories!

On that note, I want to announce that we're also working on improving the quest system in general (in both what we can do, and making it easier to use) this will be the system that is also used for the main storyline. It's currently not very fun to make a quest if you ask any GM, they'll probably confirm that for me :D None the less, they help make them because they are great for Wynncraft!


ALRIGHT ONTO THE ACTUALUPDATE.

Quests:

Elemental Exercise: Lvl 10

Made by Headset, this is a VERY short quest at the early stages of the game just to act as a little tutorial for people and introduce them to the concept of elements a little more formally in the game. If this is the quest that gets you the most excited; i'm a little worried.

???: lvl 80

We'll talk about this later in the thread.

The Canyon Guides: Lvl 84

Hah, you're going to hate us for this one. Made by Tantibus, in this quest you need to drag a poor lost soul all the way across the canyon to salvation. He will follow you as best he can, but you'll have to protect him from all the canyon creatures! It seems the canyon doesn't want him to be saved though...

The Canary Calls: Lvl 85

Also made by Tantibus (started by AbandonedBank), This quest is about a gas leak in the Thesead mines. They need to get back to work, but the gas isn't as toxic to Humans as it is to Villagers, so they need your help! WARNING: Gas isextremely flammable.

The Hidden City: Lvl 88

Eltom has been a bit of an anomaly for awhile, but finally in a quest made by Leo, we have a quest to explain how it got there and why. But there may be a traitor who threatens the secrecy of the town...Founding a Human town in Gavel is strictly illegal.

Enter the Dojo: Lvl 89

This is a short quest in the canyon started by Gold and finished by Villageacules. Master Miyagi has been teaching his students for years, but none of them can pass his trials, can you?

Recipe For Disaster: Lvl 96

This quest is an interesting one made by NoobyNatty. You'll have to impress a very prestigious chef with your recipe. The better your dish, the better your reward!

The Fortunteller: Lvl 97

And finally, a quest made by AbandonedBank. This is a weird short quest in KandonBeda about fairytales and history. I'll let you figure it out.

You can tell we focused on a content gap in the later levels, but actually left a huge one from 90-95. This was intentional, if a little annoying. I plan to add a "mini storyline" there that will cover the entire area and provide an official lore to Molten Heights. This will be our test of the new quest system and practice for the main storyline. So basically when it's done, thequests in Molten Heights will be a mini mainstoryline (just for that area) and won't have a series of side quests (like in the rest of the game).


Lore :

There have been a few secret rooms added to the map that contain lore.

Added some flavour-text NPC's who will talk to you in towns and offer you citizen based lore about the areas. Due to the limitations of the quest system, these will appear as "Quest NPC's" We will hopefully change that in the future.

Now, onto the big one. The ???revamp.

Upon the update release, as in, on the first day of the update, there will be a newSECTION on the forums and there will be an official thread by Lotem to tell you about the hell we've been through, but the section is where you can post about your findings on the quest. That's right. "???" quest is now the largest, most unfair and most complicated COMMUNITY EVENT on Wynncraft.

How does it work?

Well, that would be telling. When the update happens, you have to literally figure it out yourself. You won't get ANY help. Not even a hint. I need to make this crystal clear to everyone. It's not fair. It's not designed like a normal game. It's meant to be the most ambiguous, hidden thing in the game. The puzzles are hard, the locations are hidden and the method is 100% unknown. Only 4 people know the whole method to solve it. The CT are Banned from telling anyone anything about this quest or even doing it themselves (as they will have seen some of it on build) until everyone else has done it.

You will be forced to work together as a community to help each other solve this riddle. If you find a room, you shouldwrite it on the thread to let everyone know where it is, and they should do the same. If you don't work together, you won'tfigure it all out.

Once the whole quest is solved, the solution will be permanently available for anyone to see and use. We do not expect all players to figure this one out on their own. It's the ultimate easter egg.

So, as you can tell the big difference is that this version of ??? is now not a secret. You are encouraged to help and talk about it. The quest will be reset for everyone, and anyone can take part. The old quest will no longer exist.

Tantibus, Lotem and I worked VERY hard to make this quest. So, you can blame us. I predict it will take a week to solve, they think at least 3 weeks, i guess we will see.

Good luck. You're going to need it.


That's it from my side! I look forward to showing you what we're working on in future updates - but for now enjoy the quests and have fun trying to solve ???.

Thank you to the entire CT for helping make all the updates happen. You should tell them you love them too. without the CT, there would be no Wynncraft.

Grian

 

Thanks.

 

I hope we get to meet death again

It Could also be in the area where you started Beyond The Grave, the Air Temple of Bantisu
