The only word I can think of is "wow".

What? I feel exactly the same way, I'd rather have a quest with a great story and shitty reward than the opposite. To me, the story IS the reward. Granted, a quest with both is even better, but I prefer a good story above all.

These quests are gonna be make or break for me. They better be decent, because I'm still not quite sure the devs understand just how abysmal the launch 'missions' in this game were. So, so bad.

I am kinda hoping they'd just put the damn !mark over any NPC you have quest business with, like local leves. I can't tell you how many times I've gone to Horizon and keep forgetting to turn-in a local leve because the game isn't reminding me to. It's a little annoying, especially with all the class switching and going about your business day-to-day.

Lol i've done the same thing so many times. I dont really blame them for it thought. It would be really convenient if they also marked turn ins though. One step at a time!

and so much for actually getting local leves relevant to your rank, as many of my LS was hoping. Sounds like they are just making it so that rank 1 local leves don't appear at bluefog and shit like that.

Isn't that exactly what a sidequest is? What are you looking for in a quest that's designed to take a short amount of time, have a decent amount of work involved, and provide a decent reward?

Wishful thinking, but it would be nice if you could turn in leves that require you to go to the camp back to the NPC that issued it to complete it.

Definitely interested to know whether or not there will be SP rewards with these.

I wouldn't worry, they always used the term 'several' for XI updates and always turned out to be alot more than that. Let's hope its the same case here

I'd say at least 3 per city, so a minimum of 9 total. I'd prefer 3x that amount, but... I am realistic about a quality vs quantity vs limited time situation.

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2011-03-03 01:00

Betting on 16, just like leves!

**Alkar** · 2011-03-03 05:44

If you want quests with exp rewards try leves lol. These quests will most likely give exp/sp if something to kill is involved.

No shit, but I'm pretty sure anyone that actually plays the game for more than an hour a day burns through those pretty quickly so...

Exactly. Considering I could get minimum 25k SP in an hour just soloing doblyns a quest that makes me get to LL to initiate it, run to some dungeon miles away to kill a few mobs and then run back to LL would have to give a shit load of SP for that to be an incentive to do it. And that's just the simplest kind of quest. If we're talking about a quest that has you going to far off zones like Mor Dhona or more than one zone where the quest could last hours you'd need an SP reward of around 100k. If the story isn't good enough I won't be doing any of these quests no matter what the rewards are because I know if SE did give SP as reward it would be something irrelevant like 5k.

There's a new man in charge, we don't know that for sure. I don't see Yoshida giving SP/exp rewards for quests unless he plans on balancing it in a way that makes it worthwhile. Just my opinion on it ~

**Kurokikaze** · 2011-03-03 11:36

I don't see SP/EXP rewards happening at all. But I would gladly put foot in mouth in a few hours if it does happen. GLA looking pretty sad at 47 and no way to finish it now that the others are 50 already. ; ;

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2011-03-03 12:50

Gladiator is pretty terrible. Cross your fingers some of these quests have SP rewards (yeah right). You could also go solo doblyns outside ul'dah

**Kurokikaze** · 2011-03-03 13:01

I would not put myself through that torture. lol
