add a daily quest in Nivalis

Post by o11c »

As mentioned on IRC, there should be some sort of daily money quest for players stuck in Nivalis - something better than killing random mobs and selling their drops.

We *could* modify or turn this into a daily quest if need be. But maybe change the items needed each day (something you can get in nivalis).

Material for a daily quest should be available in Nivalis. Why not a Trapper who could gather wolvern and squirrel pelts (beware, keep some, Illana the furrier could need some later), fluffy furs, yeti claws an masks, wolvern teeth, animal bones, antlers (...)?

Trapper (and provisionally, Illana) could live in one of the two houses of Snow Forest (034-1)

Some kind of trapper living in the building in the Snow Forest sounds like very good idea. I plan a lot of quests using all the animal drops in the barbarian village, but since there's not progress on that, we can add a daily quest for that in the meanwhile, and eventually remove it again once the village gets added, or adapt it as needed.

Would someone be interested in mapping an indoor for the house in the Snow Forest and writing an NPC script with a daily quest?
This is a rather small task, so it'd be very suitable for someone who doesn't have much experience yet, but wants to get into development.

How in the world does something go from "completed" back to concept? Is this going to be another one of those projects that "mysteriously" disappears? I'm beginning to see a pattern develop..
end of line.
