QUEST REVAMP
A quest revamp has been long overdue.
The quest master now gives 3 different style quests. Completing the quest gives you more rewards than before as well as builds up reputation with the NPC to get harder and more rewarding quests.
Quest are now more interactive and require the player to travel to locations around the map.
You can use /quest to see and track your quest. Tracking a quest will show a compass at the top of your screen to help you navigate to the target location.
Quest types include:
Treasure Hunting - Finding a lost treasure chest (you keep what's inside).
Package Retrieval - Find the NPC and obtain the package, return the package to the quest master to complete the quest.
Extermination - Find the location where the mobs are located and kill them all.
We have plans to continue to expand on the type of quest you can encounter later on.
TUTORIAL REVAMP
We have changed our tutorial system to actually be more interactive and allow users to learn a bit about the server from it.
Every season you can complete the tutorial for rewards and XP one time. The first time you complete the tutorial you will get a cape and tag!
DUELS
Added player 1v1 duels. You can wager money and gear as well as choose the map you would like to duel on.
The first person to die during the duel loses and the winner gets rewards based on the match's wager.
All duels are bring your own gear and do not supply anything.
COMMUNITY GOALS
In an attempt to slow down the quick pace of the server at the beginning, special perks such as free fix, and fly are now locked behind a community goal. In order for anyone with these perms to use them the goal must be completed.
Fishing rods are also locked behind community goals.
Completing the previous goals and unlocking the later ones can reward additional perks to everyone such as bonus CEExp from every mob kill.
Players who contribute to community goals will get a reward once it is completed.
You can disable the community goal prompt at the top of your screen in your settings.
