Easy XP quest, zone limitation.

Can we please limit some of the zones of the easy quests ?

Because going south of the Forsaken lands is not what i would actually call easy. Imagine a newbie trying to perform this quests... It would condeath pre 30th.

****Log:

Congratulations! You have completed your quest!

You say 'This was easy...'

Kaine the invoker guildmaster rummages through a pile of requests and maps.

Kaine the invoker guildmaster says 'Hmm yes... I think this one should be easy enough.'

Kaine the invoker guildmaster has given you a quest!

You have to find a desert shaman in Forsaken Lands and return to Kaine the invoker guildmaster within 4.0 days.

"Saved by world shift."

You say 'Returm me now a quest that is EASY !!!'

You have to find Jabui in The Cavern of Shudde M'ell and return to Kaine the invoker guildmaster within 3.0 days.

Kaine the invoker guildmaster says 'Would you like an EASY, MEDIUM or HARD task ?'

You say 'You stupid over grown fat mage.'

*** End log.

Agreed, there aren't really restrictions to where the quests send you regardless of difficulty. There is just like a smaller chance to get somewhere ridiculous...but you always run that risk. It's kind of annoying at times. But it does encourage people to expand their knowledge if they don't already know everywhere.

I did that quest easily...you can scan and see the golems. Just move around them.

Yeah cause you've only played here how long

Are you sure you can scan the golens ?

I think they jump from the ground.

If i get yet another XP hole, i am comming back for you.

Something steps out from its cover!

Something's backstab +++RAINS ON YOUR PARADE+++!!

You have been KILLED!

Luckily, the gods give you another chance.

And also, you're not allowed to get your corpse.

If you need a tissue, visit the desert shaman.

There are camouflaged things in the forsaken lands...

And even if there werent, the risk of a sand golem walking in your room is just too big to take...

[edit] The same goes to the other "nice" areas some of the "easy" quests at low rank send you too...

I was laughing so hard I fell out of my chair..

BRILLIANCE! ABSOLUTELY PURE GENIUS!

This sounds to me like saying that just because sometimes you'll get a clear path into Winter, we should still be sending level 30s to the red determinant.

Yeah, I mis-stated that. The tainted golems don't camo. The Sand golems do. But also...the sand golems don't backstab.

No, I was merely stating it's a doable quest. Getting to the red determent as certain classes is a doable quest as well. Not all. But, walking through the south end of Forsaken Lands can be done by anyone with 'scan'.

Yes, but if you ask me an "easy" quest for a level 30 should not include sending you into a place where a single misstep equals death, and that's when you're lucky enough to have a chance in the first place. I've gone through the Forsaken Lands plenty of times without being able to avoid chaos scorpions or tainted sands on the way to my destination, each of which can be just as deadly as those damned golems (which aren't always detectable by scanning, my friend... wander the FL a bit and you'll notice that).

Might I point out that not all quests are MEANT to be doable?

The quest system gives out an insane amount of really easy XP as it is. Interspersed throughout are some quests that you may just have some hell of a hard time pulling off. I think the fact that these are there helps even out the insanely easy leveling you get from quests now.

If this is the point of such, fine, make it publicly known instead of having people be wondering about why a level 20 gets sent to Steel (which is flat-out impossible for a level 20 to even get into alone).

I've never been sent to steel at level 20.

i have... repeatedly.

I stopped doing hard quests. In my experience 50% of the time they are ridiculous and undoable. Easy are usually really easy and medium I find is the best payoff.

I have been sent to winter/forsaken lands many times around lvl 30 and 90% of the time I will complete the quest. Any lvl 30 with moderate eq and skill should be able to survive the forsaken lands during the day.

Depending on your race/class many lvl 30's can get around winter without a problem either. Hell as a BLM I could beat most of those winter mobs leading up to the factions without sanc in my mid 30's.

I thought it was publicly known?

I remember actually reading it before, which is why I said that. Certainly it is not going to be made know IG, since there is no RP reason why an impossible quest be given out. For all we know, the guildmaster has no idea it is a death warrant, or he may have his own motives for getting us out of the way.

The quests are depending on the mob level, not the area the mob is in (e.g. a level 20 mob who happens to be in winter). We will put in a check to avoid low levels being send to hard areas eventually.

Hah. I knew it wasn't intentional.
