Public Quests
Public Quests
Public Quests or PQs are area-specific, ongoing quests that are automatically assigned to each player that enters the area. All players work toward completing that same quest, if they choose to participate.
Public Quests Overview
Public Quests typically involve several (most commonly 3) stages and conclude with a large fight against one or more Hero tier opponents. When a public quest is completed, some of the players who participated will receive a reward based on his contribution, the difficulty of the public quest and a roll.
Each stage of a public quest is composed of a primary task that must be completed in order to advance to the next stage. Stages beyond the first are typically timed, and can involve various objectives. These include, but are not limited to, item collection, character protection, and defeating specific opponents. In some instances a single task will involve more than one objective, and may also include sub-objectives that must be achieved in order to move on to the next task. If a task is not completed within the time allotted, the public quest is failed and restarts shortly there after.
How Public Quests work
All Tiers of the game world have been modified to have Easy, Normal and Hard difficulty PQs. Usually there is an Easy, Normal and Hard PQ within each Chapter. The higher the difficulty of a Public Quest, the larger the amount of players required to complete it successfully, and the more effort and input required from each player. While an Easy PQ in Tier 1 may only require 2-3 players and have a 3 or so stages, a Hard PQ in Tier 1 may have 4 or 5 stages and require 9 or so players. This scales with Tier also so that an Easy PQ in Tier 4 may have around 5 stages and require 5 or more players to complete.
Loot bags
Loot bags are rewards players can receive after completing a Public Quest. When a player receives their loot bag, the loot bag will contain weapons or armor usable by their class, a couple of items for crafting skills and money as an option to choose. The player may only choose one item from the bag. The quality of the weapons or armor are based off of the quality of the loot bag.
There are several types of loot bags:
- Minor Loot Bag (White)
Minor Loot Bags usually only contain white normal items.
- Lesser Loot Bag (Green)
Lesser Loot Bags usually contain a green magic item.
- Greater Loot Bag (Blue)
Greater Loot Bags usually contain a blue and a green magic item for the player to choose from.
- Major Loot Bag (Purple)
Major Loot bags usually contain a purple and a blue magic item for the player to choose from.
- Massive Loot Bag (Gold)
Massive Loot Bags usually contain a PQ class set piece, a purple item and a blue item for the player to choose from.
