Quinten has never really been profitable for me so there isn't much change for me there though yesterday they did as for a lot of elixirs, especially 3 at one time. Also, Saggi has been asking for Subeatique items at least once out of three quests I do.

I have noticed a MAJOR change in Quentin, I used to make around 300k a day from those quests and now I'm losing about 100k. Same with Computer Geek, I'm only making about half of what I was.

...I was coming in to mention today Quentin was super high to me too (not just holiday items but rare restockables that I'd never see him ask before) and I lost about 100k -- then I saw 's post above mine, that sums it up pretty well. I didn't do the geek regularly to judge that one, but it's getting pretty clear to me that Q got nerfed again. Sigh :c I may still try to complete quests (especially when there are ornaments involved) but Q's def falling from my priority quests, making a tiny profit is def not the same as taking losses everyday n_n

Several higher priced elixirs and about 4 items worth over 500k were asked.

I'm also finding that these quests are not as good as they used to be. I'm probably skipping two, three, or even four quests for every one I complete. And it's not just the holiday items, the restockable items are coming up a lot more expensive than before. And I'm not getting any mage amulets.

This is very frustrating because these were quests that I actually looked forward to doing.

I think it's shitty that there has been no official input as to what's going on. It's painfully obvious that something was intentionally done to result in Quentin asking for ridiculously expensive items and therefore causing the players to lose profit or to barely come out on top. I don't see the point of revamping a quest to make it more profitable just to nerf it two months later.

50m. I just think we went a little overboard here?I do think that their quest was tweaked now,an actual statement would be cherry on top.

I have not been able to do most of Quentin quests either, as now Quentin asks for ridiculously expensive items. If this was deliberate it was a very poor choice unless the point is to kill off Quentin's quests.

I got 4 (!) Mage Amulets yesterday; it was a fairly good round, but I had to forfeit 3 quests (one asked for a restockable item that had no stock in shops.) Forfeited maybe 5 or 6 quests so far; no amulets today. I've also lost about 60,000 sP from my starting amount (although I've earned twice/thrice the cost in some of his quests, this was evened out by deficits of more than half (I also check overall prices, and I DON'T fulfill a quest if the items are currently above/exactly at their overall average price in shops.)

I've noticed that too! I haven't made any profit at all. And I haven't got a single amulet in ages. I used to get about 4 per 20 quests but now they've completely disappeared.

I started with 800k sP. I completed 18/20 quests and ended up with 600k + a big pile of junk.

Yeah, Quentin asked for several 400k+ items from me today, 800k being the most expensive. I completed 3/20, my spending limit per quest being around 25k. It would be nice to know if the change is intentional and permanent or just a glitch the staff have yet to fix. If Quentin is being reverted to a sP sink without much reward other than achievements, I'm sure we'd all like to know.

I think part of the problem is that most of the melody items have been changed to rarity 115 (melody item) or rarity 150 (special.) The pool of items the quest is drawing from has shrunk (by about 600 items or more.)

There has actually been no change code-wise. I'm not sure what happened here, but it's at the top of my list of things to investigate tomorrow :)

can you guys also post the last cost price (overall average i think) of each of the item asked? This is badly affecting the sp payout (when it got nerfed to accomodate Chuckina's quests) .
