High Noon would be a Medium level 39 quest located in the Mesa near Almuj.
Starting NPC: Wersten (In case you didn't pick it up, Wersten is an anagram of Western.)
Wersten can be found in the saloon of a small town named Ydnas.(Sandy backwards)
Before Quest:
Wersten:Tough guy, huh?Not even level 39?Beat it if you've got any sense.

Stage 1

When at level 39:
Wersten:Tough guy, huh?Well, you're level 39...
Wersten:Listen kid, I need somebody to do a bit of work for me...
Wersten:The other day this bit of scum, Deringo, called me a..well maybe I shouldn't say,you look kind of young....
Wersten:I need you to go straighten him out, and teach him a lesson.He lives in this town, I'm not sure
where though.
Wersten:If you can, and maybe even make his nose a little crooked..I'll make it worth your while.
Wersten:Now go, and don't come back until you've talked to him!
Quest Started:High Noon

Stage 2

Before starting quest:
Deringo:What do you want?I didn't do anything this time!

After starting quest:
Deringo:What do you want, kid?
Deringo:That idiot Wersten sent you?He's too lazy to do his own dirty work...that...
There is a knocking sound, and Deringo turns to the door.
Deringo:That must be Pinrick, late as always...
Deringo:Get out of here, you!This is private business!

Deputy Watson:Sorry,I'm new and pretty nervous!

After starting Quest:

Deputy Watson:He-Hello there knight of Wynn!

suspicions at the gold mine.
Deputy Watson:You see, the gold mine hasn't been responding to us, and people are becoming worried.
Quest Book updated.

Stage 5

In Quest Book:
Investigate the gold mine.

You have to go down to a gold mine that would be built, it would be mostly
underground.Go down into the mine, doing the parkour across elevated crates, stones,
walls or ores across the huge cave.If you fall you are "found" by the guards and teleported back
to the start.This is a lot like a few other quests.You will eventually reach a doorway where it
is safe to jump down and go into the room.Your Quest Book will then update.

Stage 6

In Quest Book:
Search the gold mine for anything suspicious.

In this room it will look like an office, with a room leading off, but if you try to enter it you will be teleported backwards and "You should investigate this room first" will appear.You have to look around the room and eventually when you go to a filing cabinet, an event will trigger.

Pinrick:You should not have come here, traveler.
Pinrick:We took over this mine from the locals, and we're are raking in the emeralds!
Pinrick:And now that you've come here, I'll have to deal with you.

Pinrick will then spawn in with 2 "Bandit Miners".
The Bandit Miners will have 450 health each and do 45-60 regular damage.
They both use stone pickaxes as a melee weapon.
Pinrick will have 2000 health and do 60-70 regular damage, wielding an iron
pickaxe and occasionally throwing it which does 125% damage.

Pinrick on death:
Pinrick:I've failed you..Deringo...
After killing Pinrick, you can also go to the next room.In there there will be an exit that will teleport
you to the start of the mine.After teleporting, your Quest Book will update.

Stage 7

In Quest Book:
Report to The Sheriff.

When you go back to the Police Station, Deputy Watson will let you in and
you have to talk to The Sheriff.

The Sheriff:Well howdy, I heard you found out the problem at the gold mine.
The Sheriff:I'll be sending my officers there to clear things up, thanks traveller.
The Sheriff:We're still unsure about who their main leader was, that Pinrick was just one
of his Captains.We're fairly certain he lives in this town..but who...
The Sheriff:I would tell you not to mess with danger, but I'm pretty sure danger should try not to mess with you!
Quest Book updated.

Stage 8

In Quest Book:
Find the leader of the gold mine operation.

Spoiler, the leader is Deringo. You have to now go to his house and talk to him
once again.

Deringo:Me?Leader of the bandits who took over the gold mine!I'm not making any confessions..
Deringo:But you going around blabbing that could cause problems...
Deringo:I challenge you to a classic western showdown, high noon today!
Deringo:Go to town square and ring the bell, if you have the nerve.
Quest Book updated.

Stage 9

In quest book:
Consult Wersten before fighting Deringo.

Wersten:Word is that you'll be facing off with Deringo this afternoon.
Wersten:I won't make you go in without help, so take this.
Wersten will give you a helmet named "Mirror Helmet",
a Rare item.
Untradable Item
Mirror Helmet
-Health:+120
-Thunder Defence:+10
-Walk Speed:-8%
-Light Reflection:+5
-Defence:+3
Wersten:Deringo has magic arrows that flash in your face, and will distract you.He always
shoots his enemies while they are blinded...the cheater..
Wersten:But this here helmet will reflect the light and leave you unflashed. Now good luck, and
give him a few punches from me!
Quest Book updated.

Stage 10

In quest book:

Ring the bell in town square to face off against Deringo.

At town square there will be a bell hanging from the saloon, which will be overlooking
it.Before if you press the button, nothing happens.But now when you ring it, an event
will trigger.

Deringo:I'll admit, I thought you were going to chicken out.
Deringo:But showing up proves how stupid you really are.
Deringo:I've claimed over a dozen lives with my bow, and you
think you can waltz in and stop me?

If you were not wearing the helmet:
Nothing new will happen, except if his arrow goes within 2 blocks of you orhits you your screen will flash for 1 second, leavingyou blind

If you were wearing the helmet:
His arrows will not flash your screen, and his thunder attacks do half damage.
After 2 seconds:

Deringo:So, you've got a fancy helmet have you?
Deringo:Well, I will not be overpowered by A STUPID HELMET!

Deringo will then spawn in at town square.Deringo will have 6100 health and
shoot using a recurve bow, each shot doing 110-140 neutral damage,
35-50 fire damage,25-35 air damage and 35-45 thunder damageHe has a normal fire rate,
and every so often he will teleport away from you or shoot a bomb arrow at you, which deals
150% damage and has a small splash area while not dealing full damage, still hits almost as
hard as a regular shot.I'm not so certain how good of a balance this is,
so feel free to leave suggestions.

After Killing Deringo, he will drop "Deringo's Recurve" and give 1,000 XP.
Your quest book will also update.

Stage 11

In quest book:
Talk to Wersten about the outcome of the match.

Wersten:Well paint me silver, that was one hell of a battle!
Wersten:You have done great justice to not just me, but Ydnas as a whole.
Wersten:What's this?Deringo's Recurve?Let me Identify it for you...
Wersten:You can either use this bow or sell it, either will benefeit you greatly.
Wersten:Take these emeralds as well, you deserve 'em.I hope to see you around sometime
kid.

You will then complete the quest.

so be sure to leave feedback and suggestions!

Changelog:

-Added a bit of dialogue for Pinrick
-Added Untradable item to Mirror Helmet, as well as Deringo's Recurve

 

The whole giving/resisting blindness with the bow/helm won't work, but otherwise, looks great. The quest should also be hard, cause it is not there choice.

 

Is an ok quest, deringo is op for the level, and sheriff is spelled wrong +0.5

 

Yea, you would need to be like 45+or have friends, and it wouldn't make sense to have ally's for the duel.

 

Bait for the Overwatch players

 

Also League players who think it could refer to the skin line "High Noon"

 

I know that the blindness thing wouldn't work, it's just a suggestion for fun.

I just realized that, I nerfed deringo and fixed spelling, though I don't think spelling a few words wrong is a big deal...

As I said, I just nerfed Deringo.If you think I should nerf him further just feel free to say.

I've never played overwatch..don't get the reference...

Not another reference..

 

HA. HAHA. ALMUJ AND THE MESA IS TO THE EAST!

Also, unless you've been living under a rock, you would understand any high noon reference. And why is there a Wersten? I mean sure, it's a play on words but your in the EAST! ha... so satisfying. Anyways, if you're ringing a bell that you're gunna have a duel with someone in the middle of the day, people will somehow know what it's about. It just happens. Also, you put the coords, NO WHERE! It's hard to just stumble across a NPC, then you have to do it again, then again, then you have to find a goldmine. Most of the quest is just talking to people, kill a mini boss thats easy to kill, continue, and kill a boss. I believe that the CT is trying to avoid shoving bosses into every quest. Oh, and polls. Oh, and change the name. Change Wersterns name too. stop making everything western. It just doesn't sound fun. And all you get is a helm and a BOW. Well, i think it's a bow, but you never actually said that. And it's a bow. Not everyone can use a bow. I cri.

Welp, i hope i wasn't too salty- Ezohn

 

I know that it is located to the east, I'm referencing the typical desert in the west.I've never played overwatch and have no idea what that
reference is, so I really don't know why you decide to abuse me over that...
Sorry if details about how Wersten knows about it are foggy...in my opinion it's not a big deal. I never put in the coordinates because I knew this would never
become a full scale quest...if I knew it was going to I would include that. I'm sorry if you find it boring, I respect your opinion.
I totally forgot to include a poll, and I see no problem with the name. Westerns name in my opinion is also fine. Also, I don't see how theming something in
the DESERT western makes it not sound fun.You also get experience and emeralds, as well as the helmet and bow.Most quests don't give you more than 1 item, if any.
I have no idea how I'd give the player a different weapon, either. You can always sell the bow, and get a good amount of emeralds.
I totally respect your opinions though, and thank you for replying.

 

not a real ID

something along the lines of that :)
Also im not that good at making weapons. so :p

 

I know, I just made it up :P

I like it!

 

Um.. okay.

First, I think you should somehow make it so that you have to put on the mirror helmet. It would be weird if you could do the duel without the helmet on.

Secondly, you didn't specify if the mirror helmet was untradable, a quest item, a normal item, etc.

Thirdly, in the part where it says:

you should at least elude to the leader being Deringo. My first thought would be to go back to the gold mines, not to Deringo's house. You could elude to it by having Pinrick saying something when he dies like,
[1/1] Pinrick: No! I've let you down, Deringo!

And finally, although this is just a nitpick, I don't think they'd make a whole town dedicated to this quest. A solution to this is making it take place in Bremminglar, so they only have to make a few new buildings for the quest.

Overall, I really enjoy the idea of this quest.It's a new idea, creative, and isn't too redundant. +1!

 

Thanks for the comments and suggestions!
I've added Untradable to the items, and added a bit of dialogue from Pinrick.
Bremminglar would also be a good idea, and even if it is a kind of sandy savannah I would prefer
having it in a desert/mesa.

 

McCree: Is High Noon.

 

K bye I'm done.

 

at least half of this suggestion is not readable in light theme..

 

Merely a lure to the treacherous dark theme!

 

It's high noon.

 

i hate the dark theme tbh
