Quests

# Questing

Quests are an integral part of the serve culture and are an additional way for players to obtain funds.  Quests can either be assigned via players or various quests created by server staff or whomever takes an interest in it

## History

Questing came about as a means to an end for leaders and citizens alike to get the help they need with the random assortment of tasks that could range from helping clean up shop to top secret assassination attempts. The possibilities are limitless. As time went on a ranking system was developed to further categorize the influx of quests so as to consolidate resources and not waste high ranking guild member's time with low-level missions and assignments.

## Information

### Quest Types

Currently there are five (5) questing categories that are as follows:

* Bounty - Specified for players that need a certain player found, assassinated, or brought in to face justice in a respective Town/Nation/Guild for a certain amount
* Escape- Break out or rescue players from a prison or etc.
* Search - Help players or staff locate lost items, pets, etc.
* Staff - Quests specific to the trials needed to become staff members
* Minor - Any and all quests that don’t fall into the categories above

### Ranking

After being broken down by category, quests are further categorized by rank according to difficulty and payout so as to ensure the proper parties are receiving them . Certain quests require written approval by either your GuildMaster or the Council of GuildMasters dependent upon your rank and status. As an S-Class Mage, you are free to accept Quests of any level with no approval necessary. You can accept a Quest either by yourself or gather a group of friends and go on an adventure together.  Majority of quests can be located in the questing section at spawn, the questing library, or your local temple library for more information. Keep an eye out for specific quests as some may be crucial in order to rank up and get promoted on the staff as well

The quest ranking system is as follows:

* 100 Year - Highest ranking quest; said to incorporate several small level quests as a prerequisite; highest payout; most dangerous missions- “these quests are said to take almost 100 years to successfully complete; can only be assigned by Council of Guild Masters per recommendation by guild masters and nation leaders approval
* SS Rank - Mid top level quests; (information about these quests are classified)
* S Rank - Low top level quests; More dangerous (i.e. prison raids, assassination requests, high level security details)
* A Rank - Higher mid level quests; payout options expand (portal keys, drachma, etc.) (i.e. National security detail, high level raids, high stakes missions)
* B Rank - Upper mid level quests; higher payout; more labor intensive (i.e. arena competition teammate, festival setup, etc.)
* C Rank - Lower mid level quests; mostly player requested contractual work (i.e. bodyguard, resource transport, raid a base, etc.)
* D Rank - Base level quests, menial work (i.e. mine a hole, find an item, rescue a lost pet)
