Looking for new quests and story line Ideas. please post or link to posts.
The secret to getting all the important stuff done is doing nothing.
Re: Quest & Story line ideas
I think that it would be good to implement the assasin set in some new quest, or we will never see it in game!

Re: Quest & Story line ideas
Most of the gear that was unreleased will be be able to come in soon.
most was held off as item restrictions needed to be be fixed.
I have a patch in for that so, soon more equipment with come in game.
It's planned to introduce new stuff when we balance items to fill the open holes.

- The powerful evil sage has sent agents to assassinate santa claus or other sage of kaizei. It is up to the characters to feed a magic barrier to keep it powerful and to defeat any assassins that attempt to attack and weaken the barrier.
- The Cult of Golbenez has formed and its agents cross time and space to ensure their inevitable victory...the destruction of reality. It is up to the characters to foil a series of plots formed by the cult and to prove to themselves and the world that fate isn't set in stone.
- A group of Therminors made a flying contraption that was initially successful, but the cold winds tossed it through the air and they crashed just outside of Nivalis. They need materials to rebuild and go home.
- Dimond's Cove has been raided by powerful bandits and Lora Tay's apprentice has been kidnapped and taken to a deeper part of the bandit cave.
- A carnival has come to Hurnscald. Tons of mini games...and some sort of hidden sinister agenda is hatched by a group of evil mages posing as carnies.

Current character is "Abolish".

Cerhan @Reid's Inn finally gets his smithy going. But those drunken skeletons downstair annoy the hell out of him (pun intended). So he sends the player to shut them up by brutal force and thereby teaching them a lesson! Bring him:

Y x Jack O lantern [Edit]
etc...

Re: Quest & Story line ideas
Why not expound on some old unfinished story-lines?
Examples:
Angus in the miners camp building has been sitting there FOREVER trying to get his mechanical contraption fixed. What is it? Can our hero help?
The miners in the cellar of dimond's cove have never repaired the tunnel. Why not? Where does it lead?
The musicians in dimond's can't play. Could we add some code to let them play a few different tunes?
I'm sure there are others..

Maybe we could use this as part of the "move players out of Hurnscald and into Tulimshare so new players aren't lonely" incentive?v0id wrote:there is a need for an alternate way to gather terranite ore and amethysts.
Background story along the lines of: the terranites were tunneling down there and accidentally broke through the sewer walls - now they are a danger to tulimshar's sewer maintenance workers. They are always looking for people to contain the situation - maybe this NPC even buys terranite ore for some work well done at a fair price...
Re: Quest & Story line ideas
This was originally intended for Land of Fire, but at this time only a few ideas were used from it, but with some careful editing of detail, change of NPC here and there, change of location and perhaps different items can be given to the player as well, i think the base story could be used. As you can see it is a quest that continues for the player as they level up. All complete, it is a level 25 to level 70 plus epic quest, that combines single player game play and for the higher level quests, multi player game play http://landoffire.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1320and remember, things can be changed in this quest to better fit TMW

Re: Quest & Story line ideas
I'd like to see the Kadiya quest implemented. Keep feeling sorry for the poor girl.
Re: Quest & Story line ideas
I think the Kadya is some debris from a former quest involving mopox cure potion, elanore and more things... and yes it should be fixed, as new players get to know her and are left behind with an unfinished story.
Re: Quest & Story line ideas
I've been thinking the past few days of a new quest that I believe should be added to TMW. My idea revolves around a romantic male NPC in Tulimshar who is working on the reconstruction after the great quake. He is magically inclined in the art of making diamonds much quicker than the usual geologic time. Sadly, he had one made one for his love in Hurnscald but it was lost or stolen. He is therefore requesting the help (this is where player comes in) of someone to collect the items he needs (namely coal of some amount, and maybe some concentration potions). The main idea is players will find the NPC in Tulimshar and he will tell his tale of woe about how he wanted to give his love a present, but sadly it is lost, and needs another. He will tell of how diamonds are normally made and how it takes a long time, but with his magic he has discovered a way to speed up the process, and needs the items collected for him (since his stock has conveniently run out). The player returns with the items necessary for the task, and he works his magic and creates a new diamond. Then he asks the player to bring it to his love (he cannot go himself because he is on assignment doing the reconstruction work). She gives the player an item and a letter to return to him, and once the player does this they get the reward.
I don't know what sort of reward should be offered for this yet, so far I think that is the only new item that may need to be created for this quest. It would be a great quest for Valentine's Day I think, just wish I had thought of it earlier so it had a greater chance of being implemented then (if my idea is accepted and approved, that is). I hope you guys like my idea. Would appreciate any help or guidance and constructive criticism.

I like your idea Katie. At least there would be a love story that doesn't finishes bad.Crazyk8e wrote:I've been thinking the past few days of a new quest that I believe should be added to TMW.

Also I like the idea of making diamonds with coal and concentration (diamond is concentrated coal isn't it?). The most obvious rewards would be a diamond ring or a Valentine dress, but they are already used elsewhere; maybe it is not a major obstacle. In this case the amount of required coal could be comparable to the amount needed for simple ring. Another idea would be to reward with a set of Valentine cards that you could send (when mail is included in server code) to characters of your choice. The cards would be usable and give some stat temporary boost and display a heart emote above the char head.
As diamonds can be found (somewhat easily) by other ways in game I suggest that crafted diamonds should have something special which make them different from dropped ones, like some magic power that could be brought by some additional material (and the intervention of a mage?). For example: A giant plant grows somewhere in TMW (Tonori? I have a couple of ideas about the place). This plant, the Manentine, blooms in February with a giant flower (love flower?). Get the flower and bring it back to
the crafter (or to the mage, chemist (Wyara?)... ).
Those are the first thoughts that come to me. Anyway your Idea again seems promising to me.

This sounds similar to a part of the valentines day quest being worked on

Re: Quest & Story line ideas
When Katie proposed her idea, she didn't know that you had been working on a Vday event. For my side, the last thing I heard about was last year, and am not aware of any of your ideas. :/Chicka-Maria wrote:This sounds similar to a part of the valentines day quest being worked on
