Lotem, maybe make it so it can become a book if you press a button.
Click to expand...

So a bit like what I already suggested?

I really like this idea however I have one suggestion: Maybe (if it's possible to do) right-clicking a quest will track it while left-clicking will open an actual book interface, showing you more detail about the quest so you can sorta recap what happened before if you don't do a quest in one part.
Click to expand...

Or did you mean it can be switched back to the current design for people who have fun flicking through all the pages?

Hi guys!

Today I want to present to you my new suggestion to Wynncraft - better quest book mechanics!
Before I start to talk about the idea itself, I would like to note that I know it might be hard to code, and take lot of time, but if a lot of you support this idea, they might actually implement it, or some parts of the idea!

Let’s start right away:
Since the quest update, the quest book was never updated or improved, while all of the other features were. The current quest book has lot of weaknesses:

Random quest order, and it’s not sorted very well.

Too many quests for 1 book. An actual book is fine for 20 quests, not for 104!

The GUI is messy, small, old-fashioned, and annoying.

My suggestion should fix all of those problems, and add some more cool useful tricks!

First of all, right clicking on the quest book will now open a double-chest GUI, instead of the normal minecraft book. (If it’s not possible to do with plugins, they can just use different item for the quest book and retexture it in the resource pack to look like a book)

The new GUI will look like this:

The items above the glass panes represent quests, But let’s talk about the items below it first.
There are 2 type of items below the glass panes - Arrows, and an Ender Pearl. They will be there in all of the quest book pages.

The arrows are used to flip through pages of the quest book, and they look like this:

(That’s the right one, and the left one is called “Previous Page”)

The “Next Page” arrow won’t appear on the last page, and the “Previous Page” one won’t appear on the first page.

The Ender Pearl will replace the first page of the current quest book, and it’ll include information about your quests progress:

Now, let’s move to talk about the upper and main part of the new quest book.

Each item will represent a quest, and they are sorted by the minimum level.
All of the quests follow this style:

Name - The name of the quest.
Province - The province of the starter NPC.
Lv. Min - The minimum level required to start the quest.
Difficulty - Unlike the current system, the difficulty WON’T be selected automatically and the GMs will be able to set a difficulty to their quests.
Length - Will be selected automatically by the amount of stages in the quest (just like the current difficulty in the quest book).
1 - 4 stages: Short
5 - 9 stages: Medium
10 - 14 stages: Long
15 + stages: Very long
Status - one of the 4 following options: unavailable / available / completed / started
As you can see, each item in the quest book have one of 4 icons, telling what’s the quest’s status.

unavailable - Red cross, meaning the quest’s lv. min is too high for your level.

available - A normal book, meaning you can start the quest but didn’t do it yet.

completed - Green checkmark, meaning you finished that quest.

started - Book and quill, meaning you started the quest but haven’t finished it.

The quest book will now show you the stages progress, in the same color scheme used for the length part.
As mentioned in the last line of lore, you can (left or right) click a quest to track it.

Quest Tracker:
*** This part of the suggestion is inspired by Guyde‘s old quest tracker suggestion (no link, since it was posted before the wipe).

With the new quest book, you will be able track quests.
Tracking a quest will do 2 things:

You can Left-Click with your quest book to get information about the quest you are tracking, in chat.

That way you won’t have to search for the quest in the quest book over and over again.
If you aren’t tracking any quest, Left-Clicking the quest book will write the following message:

Your compass will point to the next NPC (or to the mid of the next quest region) in the quest you are tracking. You can also Right-Click your compass to get information about the coords the compass is tracking, in chat.

If you aren’t tracking any quest, your compass will just point to the mid of Ragni, and if you Left-Click with the compass it will write the following message:

To teach new players about those features, the lore of the compass and the quest book will be different:

(*coords)

How do you track a quest?

When a NPC or a region is updating your stage in a quest, you will automatically start tracking that quest. Another option, is to click on the quest in your quest book. It’s also mentioned on the glass panes in the quest book:

The quest you are tracking will look like the enchanted version of the item in your quest book.

You can only track “available” and “started” quests.

Certain quests (such as Pirate’s Trove and “???”) will have stages where you cannot track the destination, so that the answers to puzzles are not given away (The GMs will be able to add an “untrackable” tag to region and NPCs). In that case the compass will inform the player that the quest stage is untrackable, when Left-Clicking the compass.

When you finish the quest you are tracking, you will stop tracking it.

You can click on your tracked quest on the quest book, to untrack:

Benefits of the suggestion:

Less pages, and lot of quests at the same page.

The quests are sorted by level and it’s easier to navigate in it.

The quest book will show the province of the first NPC , and the real difficulty.

You will be able to see the number of stages, and your progress on the quest.

The new GUI is looking better and cooler.

You don’t have to look for the quest in the quest book lot of times.

It’ll be easier to find the NPCs and regions, even for those who are bad with cords.

Weaknesses of the suggestion:

It’ll take a long time to implement.

The quest book won’t be a real book anymore.

Please vote on the poll if you want to support this idea, and hopefully see it in game eventually! You can also ask questions and tell me your opinions below.

That’s it for now,
Lotem

EDIT:
When you Right-Click with your quest book:
1. If you are tracking a quest, it'll open the quest book at the page of that quest.
2. If you aren't tracking any quest, it'll open the quest book at the page with the quests for your level.

You won't need to flip through all the pages each time! :D

Once again:

Button that changes questbook back to normal questbook and back to this one for people who like the normal one.

Just so that way there can be no arguement about liking the current one more

I really don't like this idea. That's why I'm not adding it to my thread.

Few weeks ago (I think) someone suggested to open an "old Wynncraft" server, with all the old mechanics in it (old item system and mob system).
He suggested it because he don't like the new item system, but 99% of the other players like it. Everyone comment how bad the idea is, and I agree with them.
We can't just add a "go back to the old game" button after each update. It just doesn't work like that. There is no reason to do it...

The new quest book idea is better than the current one. There is no reason to prefer the old one, unless you realllyyyyy want to keep the quest book a real book (but still, all the benefits of the new quest book make up for it!)
I'm sorry, but adding an option to ignore an update of the game, is just stupid in my opinion.

(no offence please ;-;)

Maybe rename it to the quest scroll? It's more like a scroll if anything.
