Way back in the day when I first started playing ms all I did with npc quests. I did not know about the existence of pqs. Granted, pqs are a much faster way to level, but at the same time, imo, npc quests make the game more enjoyable. They seem to be slower then grinding too, unfortunately. So I was wondering what you guys thought about upping the exp on npc quests. They do get the same 4x, but if it is possible, I feel upping their exp rate would be make them more attractive. Their stories and diversity is enough for me to sacrifice a fast level rate, but for most that is not the case. It just doesn't sit right with me personally how plain grinding (which is painfully boring imo) is faster than npc quests. pqs can still be the fastest method, but I definitively feel npc quest should be much faster than grinding. Are there any other npc questers out there that feel the same? or am I alone with this... Again I have not seen to code for the server so I have no idea if this is even possible. But upping the exp gained from quest completion seems like a good idea to make the game more diverse and enjoyable. Sorry but doing the same pq and grinding the same map over and over may be fast, but they are painfully dull for me at least. Please share your thoughts. Thank you <3
I'm in agreeance with you that quests could stand to be tweaked a bit to make them a more viable method to leveling. However it would need to handled very carefully and maybe even on a case by case basis. Perhaps giving some of the lower level quests a 5 to 10 percent increase in exp would be a good place to start. Though some quests are designed to give you large chunks of exp like hunting 100+ cursed dolls. You'd be both grinding and getting a large chunk of exp..... Yes this seems like something that should be handled on a case by case basis instead of sweeping changes. This would take a lot of time, which the devs right now don't really have as they've been working on the new source diligently for awhile now. Since it's in its final stages, you may want to ask after the dust clears for changes like these. I'm all for balancing between ways of getting exp, we'll see what others think.
This has been suggested several times. In the new source, the quest specialist medal should be incentive to do quests. I don't think the exp will be buffed.
Coincidentally, where can I find a full list of changes without having to go through the backlogs? Mind you I've already done so, but it really didn't stick..
Thank you for you input! You are right it would be difficult to balance and i'm sure the specific coding alone would be a nightmare.
