World Gathering Quests+unlockable Areas

So there are two reasons for this suggestion: Firstly from what I hear grinding gathering levels starts getting pretty rough after a while which idrk if is true or not since I'm not there yet but secondly and more importantly, the only way to get xp is actually grinding resources/crafting/refining which is rly one big process if you think about it.

So anyway I'm thinking these quests would be more like discoveries/miniquests than actual quests and would be used to unlock maybe certain grinding areas/merchants/loot chests or just some small rewards

Although these'll pretty much just be fetch quests, I don't really see what other options there are to make quests with materials lol.

Anyway some examples would be like:
Collecting some wood to repair a bridge so u can get across
Collecting some paper for a newspaper guy to unlock a merchant
Collecting ingots to fix a machine so it can drill through a cave
Collecting gems to give to some princess to access a castle (idk)
etc

So yea I think this would be pretty cool to add so 1. There are more ways to level up professions and 2. cool way to use materials besides crafting

What do you guys think? Vote on the poll and comment below ty uwu

 

This is a fantastic concept, a much more thought-out version of the ‘Profession Quests’ idea.
Add a bit more detail, but its amazing!

 

Yeah, this is more or less what I had in mind. I'm not great at conveying my thoughts, I suppose.

edit: okay, yeah it is better than my idea. I like the unlocking things and discoveries things. The only thing is, there'd have to be a lot of them around the map in order to make them worthwhile in leveling up professions and skills

________________________________

I wouldn't say it's more thought out. Just a different approach. My idea was having a seperate quest book section for profession quests. His idea is having unlockable discoveries having to do with professions. Theyre both in the same topic, just different suggestions.

 

on which part exactly? cuz i since its like a whole new sort of quests it'd be too much work to actually write each one out lol

 

I’d say add some examples of quests, stuff they unlock, basically just a bunch of more precise numbers. I know how annoying it can be to make tons of quests for a siuggestion, maybe just do like a couple as an example.

 

I think the biggest problem would be is that you have people who focus on 1 or 2 professions who simply can't do the quest because they never levelled up their other skills... It's a cool idea but it would create more problems than it solves. For instance you focus on fishing and mining, you wouldn't be able to do the bridge-building quest because you couldn't cut the trees.

 

There actually is something like this allready. The mystery manor is a world event which gives access to a millet farm

 

Yeah, it's similar, for sure. But there's only one of them. It'd be cool if we had to unlock more stuff.

 

Only one that we know about so far isn't even true. Behind ternaves and in the dental jungle. Who knows how many others there are

 

yea but each of the quests would be specifically for the profession so each profession would ideally have roughly the same amount of quests although i can see what you mean by having certain areas inaccessible unless you level that profession but if you think about it that way people who level say fishing will be able to unlock the fishing areas faster than if all the professions were leveled together, so the total time to unlock all the areas should should be roughly even no matter what order you do it in, if that makes sense xd

________________________________

yea but they're not quests and again another reason for this is to help leveling professions since right now the only way to do that is to grind

yea i might but i mean im a rly lazy person lmao so idk

 

Don't worry, I've been delaying the completion of even one quest on my suggestion since literally like October or something. You can do what I did and just add parts every once in a while when you have time.

 

lol if u say so
