World Early Game Quest Revamp Ideas

So, after receiving the criticism for my ToL Quest Rework, which was mostly positive btw, I decided to think of more Early Game quest revamps!

By Early Game, I mean Quests that are Lv. 1-25, and I took some quests that not a lot of the community liked, and I feel like they are huge step-ups from before. I can't really decide if my version of Cook Assistant and The Spiders of Wynn questline is better than the other.

Of course, some quests might hold special places in your hearts where they are more simple, and I agree with that. Some early-game quests need to be shorter and sweeter, but that also shouldn't be used as an excuse to not make them memorable. So here they are:

Spoiler: Cook Assistant Revamp

Stage 1: Speak to the Cook in Ragni
The Cook: Why did the King of Ragni ask for 2 whole royal cakes to be made to honor the new soldiers! Agh! I’ll never finish in time!
The Cook: GAH! What are you doing here?! If you are trying to rob me, that is some of the least intimidating gear I’ve ever seen.
The Cook: Oh, so you’re not the least threatening robber in Wynn. What do you want?
The Cook: Cook experience?! Well, I- I can’t have my job replaced! I can’t even lift up a weapon! Oh, wait, actually…
The Cook: I’ll let you help me make the other Royal Cake for the soldiers. Now, a cook knows his way around the kitchen, does he not?
The Cook: Wait, you’ve never cooked before in your life? Well then, observe what I’m doing.
The Cook: I’ll show you the ingredient pantry, here I use the finest ingredients in the Wynn Plains.
The Cook: I use 2 Grook Eggs, a Bucket of Milk, and 3 Wheat Grains. The Eggs are located on the left, on the middle shelf, the Bucket of Milk is on the bottom middle shelf, and the Wheat Grains are on the top right shelf. Got that? Go in there and get them for me, please.

Stage 2: Get the Ingredients The Cook requested

Shelf Layout:

Dry Chickens Suspicious Box** Wheat Grains

Grook Eggs Cheese Wheels Barley Grains

Cow Steaks Bucket of Milk Boiled Grass

*There will be buttons to press to get the ingredients, so you have to press the Grook Eggs twice and the Wheat Grains 3 times.

**If you choose the suspicious box, a Rat will attack you, afterward, it will just say There’s nothing in this box besides bite marks

If you got all the ingredients correctly:
The Cook: Ah, splendid! These are some of the finest things I believe you will ever taste!
The Cook: Onto the next step, making the batter!
The Cook: First, crush up the Wheat Grains using this stone here, then, get a bowl and crack the Grook Eggs using the bowl.
The Cook: Put the white and yolk in the bowl and discard the shell, then put the Wheat Grains in.
The Cook: Next, add some sugar, which I conveniently have right here, add about 50 grams.
The Cook: Then stir at a moderate pace, if it’s too slow, the batter won’t form, but if it’s too fast, the batter will splatter everywhere!
The Cook: Hope you got all that memorized, soldier, this is kind of the toughest part.


If you have the wrong ingredient types:
The Cook: What is this? These don’t seem to be the ingredients I asked for.
The Cook: Remember, I want 2 Grook Eggs, a Bucket of Milk, and 3 Wheat Grains.

If you have the wrong ingredient quantities:
The Cook: You got what I wanted, kind of. I need x more/less {ingredient}, and/{repeats the ingredient dialogue or sends you to get the items again} get for me, please.

Stage 3: Make the Batter

*You will be brought to an empty black room with only a brown rectangle and the option to choose the Grains or the Eggs, and then attack it 3 times to crush the grains completely

*The room will then change to have a large bowl and 2 Grook Eggs, hit them to crack them, and then they will be in the bowl

*You will then see the Wheat Grains being added in, the next step is to use a counter to determine how much Sugar you will use from 1-99 grams, and then you “stir” (move around the bowl) at your default walking. Sprinting will stir it too fast, while sneaking is stirring it too slow

The Cook: Ah! Marvelous! Seems quite vanilla, but the cream will make up for it! Time to put them into molds!
The Cook: While they’re baking in the oven, let’s make the cream next.
The Cook: Add about a third of the milk in the bucket, and then add a sprinkling of sugar, then stir quickly!

If you got the recipe wrong:
The Cook: Gah! No, don’t do that!

*You will then be sent back to the beginning of the step you failed

Stage 4: Make the Cream

*You will once again be brought to a black room with an empty bowl in there. To your right is a rectangle that 6 blocks tall is all white. Press the button in the middle to start pouring, and it will pour at a rate of 1 block per 2 seconds. Once a third has been reached, press the button again to stop, and then push the button on the right to submit, or press the left one if it’s not enough and you need to keep pouring.

*The next step is to choose between a little bit, a normal amount, or a ton of sugar.

*Like the stirring step in the batter, you move around the bowl to stir.

The Cook: Ah, that looks like the best cream I’ve ever seen!
The Cook: Oh! The Cakes are ready to be iced and then garnished, and then we’re done!
The Cook: To Assemble the cake, apply a layer of the cream to the top of each layer, stack a smaller one on top, and repeat until there are no more smaller cakes left.
The Cook: Then, add a cherry on top of the cake, and add raspberries like a compass rose configuration using cardinal directions, and then we’re done!

If you got the recipe wrong:
The Cook: Gah! No, don’t do that!

*You will then be sent back to the beginning of the step you failed

Stage 5: Assemble the Cake

*You will be brought to a black room once more, and there will be 3 orange squares in varying size. Take the biggest, and then spread the cream over it by walking over the cake. Repeat for all layers.

*Then assemble the cake with the cake layers shrinking in size as you go up.

*Place the Raspberries and Cherry on each layer of the cake in the correct configuration.
Raspberry Orientation, Red is the bottom layer, Yellow is the middle layer, and Blue is the top layer, and the Green Squares are the correct placements.

The Cook: Ah, marvelous! That cake looks so good, I wish I could eat it right now! Now, I think it’s time we present it to the main host, Admiral Aegis!

If you got the recipe wrong:
The Cook: Gah! No, don’t do that!

*You will then be sent back to the beginning of the step you failed

Stage 6: Follow the Cook to present the cake to Admiral Aegis
Admiral Aegis: Ah, finally! The Ragni Army has been starving for this cake! Hopefully, the wait will pull off.
The Cook: Y- yes! Indeed! I can’t say I did all of it though, this soldier here helped a lot!
Admiral Aegis: Oh, is that so? Soldier, I’ll be giving you a great title if this cake is really good, don’t take it as a promotion though.
Soldier: When can we have the cake?
Admiral Aegis: That appears to be the call for the cake. All right soldiers! The royal cook of Ragni and his assistant has made a Royal Cake for us all! Let us dig into this special treat!
You carefully watch Admiral Aegis eat his slice of cake.
Admiral Aegis: Oh boy… This…
Admiral Aegis: This is the best cake I’ve ever had! Thank you for making two of them for my hungry soldiers! Thank you both!
The Cook: He… He actually enjoyed it?! Yes! I’ve never felt happier before in my life! I won’t be replaced!
You and the Cook head back to the kitchen
The Cook: Well, I wasn’t expecting him to like it so much! I’ve also made a separate layer for both of us. I’ll give you a slice to use when you cook, as it is an ingredient.
The Cook: Thank you for making my life!

The XP rewards change to 500 XP Points and 250 Cooking XP, you will still get a Royal Cake Slice.

Spoiler: The Spiders of Wynn Questline

Spoiler: The Spiders of Wynn - Part 1 (Replaces Infested Plants)

Stage 1: Go to Ope in the Nivla Woods
Ope: Agh! Ow! This hurts so much! You! Yes you! Do you have any antidotes or something?
Ope: You don’t- OW! Um… I- I think I can bring a companion of mine to help you get some… I was bitten by a Nivla Spider, they rarely hurt thi- AGH!- much, and if they do hurt a lot, then the poison can kill you.
???: Ope, can you stop screaming?
Ope: Hatath! This warrior right here is trying to help me get an antidote, can you help, gah, them?
Hatath: Sure, I want you to stop screaming after all.
Ope: Grea- OUCH! Can you both get me some cleaned Sacharrum?
Hatath: Sure, I guess. I’ll lead the way to the cave, keep close behind me, ok soldier?

Stage 2: Follow Hatath to the Cave
Hatath: Well, would you look at that? Apparently, this is the only place with Sacharrum in the whole province. This shouldn’t take too long-
*Several Spiders will weave a web behind you
Hatath: Of course. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if they could fly.
*You will see a Spider Egg appear on the ground
Hatath: Oh no, wait, is that- Oh grook, they’re weaving a web in front of us!
Hatath: Soldier, KILL THE HATCHLINGS!

*You will then fight against Spider Hatchlings with Hatath

Stage 3: Kill the Spider Hatchlings
Hatath: That- that was a close call. We nearly got eaten alive if we were underequipped.
*The Web will open up a gash in it, travel through it
Hatath: Wait, they, they opened it up? We should head through…
*You and Hatath go through the web
Hatath: Are those spiders… Watching us?
Spider: Our leader wantsssss to sssssspeak with both of you.
???: Welcome… We are the resssisssstanssse.
Hatath: The, resistance?
???: I am the Broodfather. Our queen Arakadicusssss hasssss enacted war against humanssss.
Hatath: What do you mean?! Is this some kind of sick prank?!
The Broodfather: We don’t feel aggression towardssss humanssss. We want to embrassssssse them. The humanssssss haven’t been ruining our foresssssst, the Corruptedssss have.
Hatath: Then what was that test at the beginning where you put those Hatchling Spiders to fight us?
The Broodfather: Thossseee were eggsss of Arakadicusssss. They were going to ssssserve her. I wanted to tessssst you both. Sinsssse they have perished, we can trussssst both of you. Will you both trussssst usssss?
Hatath: Um… Sure, I guess.
The Broodfather: Exssselent! Here you go, the Ssssacharrum for your infected. Let ussssss meet up again near the Infesssssted Pit at Level 14. I know why you both came here. Guardsssssss, esssssscort these two.
Guard: With pleasure massssster.
*The Guard Spiders will escort you to the front of the cave.
Guard: Remember, meet our masssster at the Infessssted Pit.

Stage 4: Return to Ope with the Sacharrum
Ope: OUCH!!! THE PAIN IS GETTING WORSE! DO YOU BOTH HAVE THE SACHARRUM?!
Hatath: Calm down, Ope, we got it!
Ope: OW! GOOD! GIVE IT TO ME!!!
Ope: …
Ope: AHHHHhhhhh… Much better… Thank you both for giving it to me. I have a little leftover too! I’ll keep one for Hatath and me, and soldier, as thanks for helping me out, I’ll give you the second!
*Ope will head upstairs to his treehouse
Hatath: Alright, we both need to trust the Broodfather to prevent my brother from screaming his lungs out again. Come to me when you’re level 14 and then we can finish the job.

You will get the Cleaned Sacharrum as a reward.

Spoiler: The Spiders of Wynn - Part 2 (Replaces Arachnid's Ascent)

Stage 1: Talk to Hatath in Ope’s Treehouse
Hatath: Ah, soldier, actually, what is your name? {Player Name}? Ok then, are you ready for this? Perfect, let’s do this.

Stage 2: Go to the Infested Pit Entrance
The Broodfather: Ah, you both are here early. I appreciate that. Our plan is to raid the nessssssst of Arachnidssssss, where Arakadicusssss will most likely ressssside.
Hatath: All right, are we all ready?
The Broodfather: No, not yet. Let my colony come, go in the nessssst. Find Arakadicusssss and kill her.

Stage 3: Go into the Infested Pit
*You won’t actually do the Infested Pit dungeon, instead, you will go through a cave created by them.
???: Ah, great timing, human.
???: My little children are quite hungry, are they not? They told me they wanted humansssssss for dinner.
???: And I’m ssssssssertain you and that damned, brainwashed excusssssse of a ssssssspider issss with you too, isn’t he?

*The first part will make you go through a labyrinth with Spider Eggs in there. DO NOT ATTACK THEM, they will burst into several Newborn Hatchlings. Once you have made your way through the maze, you get to go to the second room.

???: I’m almost sssssertain you know who I am, the Queen of the Ssssspidersssss herssssself, Arakadicusssss.
Arakadicus: Ever ssssinsssse I ate that reddish human, I knew who our real threat wassssss, the humanssssss. The Corruptedsssssss burn down the foressssst, making it easssssssier to devour my prey.
Arakadicus: That Broodfather only denied me sssssssso he can ‘liberate’ our kind.

*You will then be brought to a cinematic of Arakadicus eating a semi-corrupted human (Not Bak’al, just a random corrupted human), and then see Arakadicus’s eyes turn from green to red. Afterward, you will then fight off waves of Spiders, first 5 Newborn Hatchlings, then 2 Spider Drones and 7 Newborn Hatchlings, then an Arachne Broodmother miniboss with 4 Spider Drones and 12 Newborn Hatchlings.

Arakadicus: The humansssss have been terrorizing my nessst in an attempt to rid the foressssst of my children. They dessssserved it, the Corruption had ssssssstrengthened my nesssst.
Arakadicus: What I want you to do? Come in. Come in, with a shallow attempt to kill me, for only you will be my dinner.

Hatath: Hey, wake up. Wake up! I was lucky to rescue you in time! You just walked in the web covering the Infested Pit and just fainted! Arakadicus’s Spiders ate the Broodfather, but his colony of Spiders managed to defeat Arakadicus’s.
Spider: Ssssssoldier, go in and kill Arakadicusssss. We can help you by opening up the entransssse.
Hatath: Alright, Wynn Soldier, go in and kill those spiders for the Broodfather! Do it for Wynn!

*The Spiders will then eat the web as the quest is completed

Spoiler: Elemental Exercise Revamp

Stage 1: Talk to Ragon at his camp
Ragon: Ah, perfect! New recruit! Welcome to my camp! We’ve been studying a property called Elements.
Ragon: We talked to a Corkian Technician, and they were kind enough to give us a simulator robot for free!
Ragon: I’ll lend you a weapon, and then I’ll wind up the machine!

*Depending on your class, you will get a Rare Weapon, either the Relik of the Ground, Dagger of Lightning, Wand of the Ocean, Spear of Magma, or Bow of the Wind

Stage 2: Hit the robot with the weapon Ragon lent you
Robot: Bzzzt! THREAT REGISTERED: WYNN SOLDIER. OBJECTIVE: ESCAPE.

Ragon: Oh, no… This is not good! Of course there was something suspicious about them offering it to me for free!
Ragon: I’m sorry soldier. I should have known they were trying to scam me! There is a robot on the loose! I think I should also mention this, the elements are tied to certain things, Earth is tied to Strength, how much damage you deal per hit, Thunder is tied with Dexterity, the chance to get a critical hit, Water is tied with Intelligence, making you consume less Mana per spell, Fire is connected to Defense, how tough you can be, and Air is tied to Agility, the chance to dodge hits! They also have some weaknesses to elements and are resistant to some as well as dealing damage with them! Now go! Destroy the robot!

Stage 3: Destroy the Robot
Robot: THREAT DETECTED: WYNN SOLDIER. OBJECTIVE: KILL.

*The Robot(Titled Test Bot E-07) has 5 phases, the first phase is Earth-based, it moves slow and hits hard with 50 HP, the second phase is Thunder based, attacking quicker and dealing less damage, and having a shorter range, but combos easily and has 90 HP, the third phase is Water-based, as it will use more spells, but doesn’t deal as much damage and has a small amount of HP only being 80 HP, the fourth phase has the most HP, and deals somewhat moderate damage, but doesn’t spam spells and has 100 HP, and the Air phase has only 60 HP but moves fast. Once the robot is defeated, Ragon will appear.

Ragon: I’m here, I’m here! What did I miss? You, you destroyed it? Amazing! You know what, as compensation for having to fight that, I’ll let you keep the weapon, and have these too!
Ragon: Actually, can I see your weapon for a moment? I’ll do something to it I think you’ll appreciate.

*Ragon will then apply a Main Attack Damage boost if it’s a Relik, an Attack Speed Boost if it’s a Dagger, a Mana Regen bonus if it’s a Wand, a Health bonus if it’s a Spear, and a Walk Speed Bonus if it’s a Bow.

Ragon: There! Each element has some identifications it is connected with, and I applied one of them to your weapon. Keep in mind nearly every creature past the Ragni Plains will have some form of Elemental Status. Once again, thank you for your help!

Spoiler: Potion Making

Stage 1: Talk to Dr. Essren in front of his hut on the Black Road
Dr. Essren: Ah! A test subje- err, I mean soldier! Welcome! Can you do a quick thing for me? Come down here in this hut.

Stage 2: Follow Dr. Essren to his hut
Dr. Essren: Here I have a po- I mean the best Water you’ll ever have! Here, drink it!
Dr. Essren: Don’t be hesitant, it tastes like Apples!
Dr. Essren: You know what, just take the damn drink already!
You feel yourself transform as you drink the potion
Dr. Essren: Oh, oh grook no… Uh… Did you enjoy your drink?
Dr. Essren: Let me get a mirror real quickly…
You transformed into a mushroom!
Dr. Essren: Oh boy, this is not good… I’ll be raided by Detlas Soldiers anytime now! Uh… there should be an antidote in this potion book! Uhh, here it is!
Dr. Essren: “Transformation Antidote: Transformed into something weird like a mushroom? It’s very easy to switch back! Just brew the potion with a Weakening Catalyst, which will make it taste like berries! To brew a potion please turn to-” Gah, this book is useless! You know what, I’ll stand guard, while you brew that potion, alright?

Stage 3: Make the Reversion Potion
Basic Alchemy for Dummies: Chapter 12, Transformation Potions
To make a transformation potion, you will need the eye of a toad, the wing of a Stirge, and the cap of a mushroom, preferably one on the Black Road, mash them up so they turn into a grainy gel, and then stir it quickly until it turns pink.
You skim through the pages until you find a Reversion Potion, you continue where Essren left off.
To use the potion on the transformed, just put the entire potion on them, or if they are small enough, just make them jump in the bottle! However, never use this potion if you’re not transformed, as it can have dire side effects.

*Go to the opposite side of the room to get the ingredients, and then walk back to the brewing table to get started brewing. To mash up the ingredients, bring a stone to where all of them are, and then jump on the stone. Push the powdery gel into a bowl, carry the bowl back up to the desk, put it in the flask, and then stir by rocking the potion back and forth, and then finally put a Weakening Catalyst in there.

The potion is ready! Time to jump in and become human again!

Dr. Essren: Ah, you brewed the potion by yourself! Perfect, time for you to become human again! If only it were that simple…
Dr. Essren: You see, I wanted you to brew the potion, since it would grant me the powers I needed to become the lord of the spores!
Dr. Essren: Confused? Let me explain. I was an outcast from the city of Detlas, exiled from the city as I accidentally transformed a child into a grook.
Dr. Essren: You know why I did that? I was hungry. Apparently, the people of Detlas react so vigorously if one nobody dies. How the grook does that work? I have no idea.
Dr. Essren: I wanted to use your Reversion Potion you made so I can control all of the Mushrooms, and begin my siege on Detlas.
Dr. Essren: I don’t care about the side effects! I want my revenge! AND YOU WON’T STOP ME!
Dr. Essren drinks the potion you made
Dr. Essren: YES! THE P#WER! I’LL KILL YOU FIRST!

Stage 4: Defeat Dr. Essren, Lord of the Spores, and become a human again

*You will then fight against Dr. Essren, Lord of the Spores. He has 2,500 HP, and takes the form of a Giant infected with Mushrooms. He can burst out spores as minions, and is a ranged mob with Charge, Vanish, and Push. Once he is defeated, he will lay on the ground in a dead state, with 2 flasks on him, with the one with a blue liquid in it(closest to you), jump in it to become a human again.

Stage 5: Make sure Essren won’t return to power
Detlas Citizen: Woah, what happened here? A bunch of spores went into Detlas, and most of them were originating from this hut! Oh, of course, that lunatic Essren.
Detlas Citizen: He turned you into a mushroom? That’s not that hard to believe, he turned Detlas Children into Grooks for fun! Hey, Essren! Have a taste of your own medicine!
The Detlas Citizen splashes the transformation potion on Dr. Essren, turning him into a mushroom
Detlas Citizen: How do you like that?! Soldier, as a thanks, I think Essren’s Coat might have some magical powers to it, think of it as a thank-you gift from Detlas!

*You will get Essren’s Coat and the Weakening Catalyst like before

Spoiler: Grave Digger Remake

Stage 1: Talk to Sayleros in Detlas
Sayleros: Ah, you look well equipped! Can you do a favor for me?
Sayleros: So, I had a brother in Nemract who was killed by bandits, good pal, he was. I forgot his name, but one thing you do need to know is that he was a rich man.
Sayleros: He moved to Nemract to escape all of the corruption in Maltic, although I wouldn't say that was the best choice of him.
Sayleros: Oh! I also have a brother who lives north of here in a house. He isn't much a greeter to strangers, which is why I have some Nemract Whiskey here, he would die for it, I tell you!

Stage 2: Go to Sayleros's other brother north of Detlas
Sayleros' Other Brother: Huh? *hic* Who'r... Who're you?! What're y- you *hic* doin in meh houz...?
Sayleros' Other Brother: W- what is that... Oh *hic* boy! N- Nemract W- Whiskey! *hic*
Sayleros' Other Brother: W- wait! I- I see through y- your tricks! *hic* I'll drink this here W- Whiskey and then a- ask me what ma' name is.
Sayleros' Other Brother: I'll bet you'll never guezz!

Stage 3: Look for clues to who Sayleros' Other Brother is named
*Sayleros's Other Brother's name is Drunksch, there will be a diary on the second floor of the house
Sayleros' Other Brother: W- well? *hic* What'm I called?
*You then type your answer in the chat
If you got the name wrong
Sayleros' Other Brother: Hahaha *hic* ha! Dat's de w- wrong name!

If you got the name right:
Drunksch: H- how'd ya guess?! A- all right then, I guess I- I'll give ya what ya wan'.
Drunksch: T- to see our oder bruhder, *hic*, ya' must see a p- priest in Z... Saint's Row!
Drunksch: Talk to 'im or sumthin. Now gettow o' me house! *hic*

Stage 4: Talk to the Priest at Saint's Row
Priest: Ah, sorry, what are you here for? I'm sorry, the brother of someone? Someone sent you to retrieve his will?
Priest: Well, I don't know exactly where everyone is buried in the graveyard, and I don't even know who you are talking about.
Priest: Just look in Saint's Row, but if you see anything suspicious, talk to me.

Stage 5: Explore the graveyard of Saint's Row
You will then look for the grave of Sayleros' Brother. The Grave will say:
Here lies ####### ########, brother of Sayleros, Citizen of Detlas, 938-994 AP

Stage 6: Talk to the Priest and bring him to the gravestone
Priest: Ah, you're back. Did you find what you were looking for? You did? Alright then, bring me to the gravestone. You lead, I follow.

Priest: Oh. Oh... This gravestone. This one emits a horrible presence. If you need context, then I will give you some.
Priest: A long time ago, there was a human living in Ancient Nemract, at around 480 BP, he became obsessed with Necromancy, and tried to revive a bunch of dead citizens to make them his puppets.
Priest: The townspeople were horrified of what happened to what the boy was doing, and so they banished him, to never return to Ancient Nemract. He vowed to make sure that Ancient Nemract would see what they had lost. He later died in disgrace.
Priest: However, when the portal was unearthed, it emitted a power that would revive most of the dead citizens of Wynn, and because that man is a Necromancer, he was their leader. And his first act of order was to lay siege against Ancient Nemract, commanding the undeads to attack them and kill them. It was one of the fiercest battles in the War of Corruption, but was ultimately a loss.
Priest: He now goes and awakens corpses to join his army every night, and that man, he was awakened by that very Necromancer. That Necromancer was known as Charon, and this grave, is home to one of Charon's own members. What seems to make this presence worse is that the man in this grave was killed by bandits, and Charon has probably promised him that he would get his revenge.
Priest: Go in there and kill the man. We cannot have another siege on Nemract.

Stage 7: Go into the crypt and kill Sayleros' Brother
???: You... Are you one of the bandits?
???: Don't lie to me, after all, you did kill me about 6 years ago...
???: He has promised various rewards for each of the members.
???: Stay back...
???: I warned you.

*You will then fight against Sayleros' Brother, and it is the same like before, but with a twist 8th phase at the end
???: Keheheheh... You have killed a man who I had high hopes for, he was a good fellow.
???: If you beat him, I'll personally reserve a spot for you in the Forsaken Legion just for yourself.
???: ARISE, MY SERVANT!
Sayleros' Brother: GRAHHHHH!!!!!
*Sayleros' Brother is now enchanted with Charon's magic, and now has the HP of all of his previous phases combined with a flamethrower spell. When he dies, he drops his will.
???: Keheheheh... Congratulations. I'll let you have the spot of my left-hand when you die. And I promise you...
???: It will be by my hand...

Stage 8: Get out of the crypt and report to Sayleros
Sayleros: Ah, you're back! Do you have the will?
Sayleros: Perfect! I'm off to the Detlas bank now, and here, have all the money I currently have. I'm gonna be a rich man!
???: I await your encounter, human.

Spoiler: Pit of the Dead Remake

This is a lot like Realm of Light Part 3 in 1.20 and Fate of the Fallen, so it might look similar to it.

Stage 1: Talk to Merloni in front of the Pit of the Dead
Merloni: WOAH! Careful there! You almost killed me by falling into the Pit of the Dead!
Merloni: You better not go in there, please, I beg you. It's too risky.
*You will then see a Grook approach you
Merloni: Oh no... Grook, please do not give this soldier a reason to jump down...
*The Grook will then shove you off the edge
Merloni: NO! GET BACK UP HERE!

Stage 2: Explore the strange area
???: Welcome, human.
???: This is the pit of the dead. We made that grook shove you off the edge for a reason, you need to learn about Charon.
???: This is our sanctuary of the afterlife. We welcome you.
*There will be a path you must follow, after a while, the voice will start to speak to you again
???: We will now let you see what has happened to Charon, we will make your physical self unconscious, while your mind will view the events of what happened to Charon.

*You will then be warped back in time in your mind, to 483 BP, in the glorious town of Ancient Nemract.

Stage 3: Explore the area
Ancient Nemract Citizen: Ah, a newcomer! Welcome, welcome. What is your gear, are you one of those mysterious species that built Time Valley?
Ancient Nemract Citizen: Oh, you're looking for Charon? He should be by the coast of Wynn.
Ancient Nemract Citizen: What do you mean we're all doomed because of him? Eh, I'll say your that species that built Time Valley.

Stage 4: Go to Young Charon in the memory
Young Charon: Come on, move! Budge an inch! Gah, it's no use.
Young Charon: WOAH! Who are you? Your gear looks so cool!
Young Charon: Oh, do you want to help me move this bone with magic, command it to do my will?
Young Charon: Ok, thanks, kind soldier! I think you have to try one of your spells to make it move.

Stage 5: Cast a spell in front of the young Charon
Young Charon: Woah, cool! Can you make it like a spider? I think you'll have to cast a spell for that too.
*You will cast another spell
Young Charon: Nice! I just got myself a pet boney arm!
Young Charon: I'll call you Bonesy! Now I just need to apply a skull and you'll be complete!
Young Charon: Oh! There's one right there! And now... Welcome to the world Bonesy! Many thanks, soldier!
*You will enter reality again
???: At this point in Charon's life, you had just introduced him to the basics of Necromancy, his fall will soon come later. In this time, though, he learned it by himself.
???: Now I want you to look at the walls. Those are the Skeletons that Charon tried to rise from the dead, to later attack Ancient Nemract.
???: Him becoming more obsessed with Necromancy might be too much for a mortal eye to see. I want you to prove your worth to him.
*You will then fight against a horde of Spirits, defeat all of them to progress
???: You are now ready to see what has happened to Charon.

Charon: Kehehe... Oh, it's you again soldier! When I looked back at you a few years ago, you vanished!
Charon: Anyway, do you want to see this? I taught Bonesy how to do Necromancy!
Charon: I know it's amazing. Very few managed to teach their puppets how to do it exactly like they do!
Charon: Come on, Bonesy! Do it boy!
*Bonesy will then do a dance to awaken a Zombie

Ancient Nemract Citizen: IT'S A ZOMBIE! EVERYONE, GET OUT YOUR WEAPONS!
*The Ancient Nemract Citizens will then kill the Zombie

Ancient Nemract Citizen: I bet it's Charon again!
Charon: Oh no...
Ancient Nemract Citizen: CHARON!
Charon: I am so dead...
Ancient Nemract Citizen: Charon! You need to stop this!
Charon: What? Doing what I'm best at? If you want to be so rude, do it to this soldier, he taught me how to give sentience to an arm!
Ancient Nemract Citizen: You need to. This soldier did it to help you one time, repay the soldier by not doing it again.
Charon: You know what? Fine! I'll go out of the city! Hell, I'll even starve myself if I have to Necromancy!

???: Charon would later practice more Necromancy on the outskirts of Ancient Nemract. This event was enough to give him a spark he needed to create his army, and because there were no people around, there was also no one to stop him.
???: The floor you're walking on right now is where Charon did his Necromancy.
???: Charon's pet Bonesy, he forgot about him, Bonesy was now looking almost like what Charon does every day. Bonesy still wanders Ancient Nemract, seeking Vengeance on Charon.
???: You will now experience the final memory I have to give you, and then, I will let you out of the pit.

Charon: You seem to keep on vanishing, huh? I know I look like I'm almost a skeleton. I want you to command my army to lay a siege on Nemract.
Charon: You won't? Hmph, fine by me then.
Charon: Listen corpses of Ancient Nemract! I am Charon. You might know me as an outcast, banished by them. Well here's the thing. I gave you all a second life. A life to spend with your still-living relatives. But, none of you have a purpose if it's just like seeing your family again, so what I'll do? Your purpose is to lay the siege, and become reunited with your families in the afterlife!

Stage 7: Watch Charon commence his siege against Ancient Nemract.
Charon: Citizens of Ancient Nemract! It is I, Charon. The person all of you had the audacity to banish!
Charon: All of you are lucky to not to be killed by me personally, and to me, I won't kill any of you.
Charon: But, I wanted to show all of you a surprise. I hope all of you will watch, for you will see your families again. Your grandparents, your mothers, your deceased pets. All of them will welcome you into the afterlife, with me as your master!

???: You must defend this version of Ancient Nemract to learn what happens next.

Stage 8: Defend Ancient Nemract against Charon's army
If you had failed to defend:
???: I will let you experience it again, at the cost of no Soul Points.

If you succeeded:
Charon: No... NO! MY ARMY!
Mayor of Ancient Nemract: Charon, you have committed an unforgivable act against the city, an occasional zombie or two was enough for us, but an entire siege? Soldier, kill him.
*Kill this version of Charon using a spell
Charon: I- I promise you! I will never find rest! I will return one day, and all of you will either regret your choice for eternity, or you will all find a spot in my army. FOR I AM CHARON, THE NECROMANCER OF ANCIENT NEMRACT!

???: With Charon dead, Ancient Nemract breathed a sigh of relief, but when the Corruption came, Charon had risen.
???: The soldiers of Wynn prioritized Ancient Nemract above everything else to win the war, but Charon's army was too much. All of the undeads who died after Charon's siege overwhelmed the armies.
???: Ancient Nemract was left in ruins, it's legacy being lived by its poor port town equivalent not too far away.
???: You may leave the pit now. You have seen everything you needed to.

Stage 9: Leave the pit and talk to Merloni
Merloni: You're- You're back! I thought that Grook would've killed you!
Merloni: Oh, was a voice in there? It guided you? You now see what happened to... Charon? Did I get that name right? Oh, who cares, you're back!
Merloni: Also, that grook? It turned into a pair of leggings. I was going to use them in a ceremony to bless our church, but these things seem kind of useless to us, maybe you will find a use for them?

I would like for all of you to give Constructive Criticism about them.

Here's kind of my ranking of my ideas:
1. The Spiders of Wynn
2. Cook Assistant
3. Pit of the Dead
4. Grave Digger
5. Potion Making
6. Elemental Exercise

 

Cook assistant looks pretty good. The spiders of wynn being a questline might be able to bring more lore to nivla and the spiders in general, which is nice. I feel that the details don't matter too much, the GMs can deal with that. But I do feel that these quests could use a revamp. They're pretty boring and don't show new players the quality of the content later. I don't know if these are the best ideas, but they are definitely better than the originals.

 

Much better than the current ones - probably could do with some tweaking, but GMs will do that.

 

Uh I'm to lazy to compar those to the current suggestions, cany 1ny like condense the changes in a few short paragraophs lol

 

Cook Assistant:
Play Minigames to bake a cake for the Ragni Army.

The Spiders of Wynn:
Part 1: Help some dude get a plant and you learn of a Spider resistance.
Part 2: Learn about Arakadicus, leader of the resistance dies, Infested Pit unlocked.

Elemental Exercise:
Robot goes haywire and some dude teaches you about elements.

Potion Making:
You become a mushroom, brew a potion, turns out the deuteragonist is a twist villain so you stab him, go back to normal, and the antagonist turns into a mushroom as poetic justice.

Grave Digger:
Retrieve a will, but oh no, antagonist is a part of Charon's army.

Pit of the Dead:
A grook shoves you in the Pit of the Dead and you learn about how Charon came to be.

Bit too simplified, but it gets the point across.

 

nice ideas
+1

 

I don't like the Cook Assistant one, purely becuase I want that quest to be a crafting and gathering tutorial, as, it fits far to well.
The Spiders of Wynn questline sounds brillant! It would be nice to have an endgame quility questline like that in the early game.
I can't say I love the details of them, but alot of it's really up to the GM who works on these things, as polish and story is really done by them (Grain also helps with the story)

I didn't read much into the other two you suggested, I will do that later and probably update this.

 

Yeah, might consider another quest that goes more into professions, not really a sequel to Cook Assistant, and I wanted to make it more memorable than just a fetch quest.

I'm glad you liked it! I think Arakadicus was in dire need of more lore for it, and rather than Arakadicus's ideals being "I see Human, I eat Human." to accidentally eating a Corrupted Human, and becoming corrupted herself.

 

And bump for the 2 new quest ideas added, I would like feedback on them, please.
