Game Systems

The Quest System

Urd waits in the Rabid Wolf Inn with timed hunts and recovery jobs. Finish in time to earn quest points for titles, item changes, immunities, and endgame equipment.

Running a quest

  • From level 15, use quest request at a questmaster. You will either hunt an enemy near your level or recover a token hidden somewhere in the world. Recovery quests appear 40% of the time.
  • The timer is 10–30 minutes. Finish with quest complete back at the questmaster.
  • Kill quests pay 10–40 qp plus 300–900 gold; item quests pay 15–40 qp plus 300–700 gold, with a chance of bonus practice sessions either way.
  • Cooldowns: 10 minutes after finishing or failing, 15 minutes if you quest quit. Choose your abandonments carefully.
  • quest points, quest info, and quest time work anywhere; everything else needs the questmaster in the room.
  • qgossip (shortcut -) is the quest channel.

Two currencies

Autoquests pay ordinary quest points. A second, rarer currency called iquest points comes from global events run by immortals. Use iquest to join one. The exchange rate is steep: 250 qp per iquest point in ROT 1.5b1, 300 in Distorted Illusions (where the exchange works in both directions). Iquest points exist for one reason: the Aesir set, a full 19-piece endgame equipment set at 45 points per piece. Distorted Illusions adds a cheaper Vinir set at 10 points per piece.

Quests in v3.1

v3.1 only chooses targets you can reach. A completed quest pays 15–40 qp, 5–15 platinum, and experience, with three rare bonuses. You have a 3% chance at a 300–350 qp jackpot, a 3% chance at amodifier voucher, and a 3% chance to boost experience for the whole realm for an hour. Vouchers can raise the realm's experience multiplier as high as 3.0×. v3.1 also sells personalquest lockers, managed with quest put, quest get, andquest inventory, along with weapon upgrades.
