That's it in a nutshell.

That is good news indeed! I didn't notice the rank penalty is gone either. Good to know. Thanks for mentioning it.

i am surprised this isnt already a thing. i haven't done any quests that were not possible to finish before if this happened to me i'd be pretty annoyed i think.

I agree that new items should not be asked for in high stakes quests. Often, new items are released on a limited basis which makes them valuable consequently expensive to purchase outright.

I know that Keith has said on many occasions that the purpose of achievements and quests it to provide challenges that are difficult, hence Achievement-worthy. But there's a difference in a mid-level quest, like the Blue Building quests and a high-level quest, like Item Hunter, which often asks for impossible items and it is expected.

I agree to this. Tbh it wouldn't be quite fair as it's a new item and if it's usable as other functions, there should be a time period (a month maybe?) before its asked for in quests.

I'm fine with new items being in quests. It makes it more difficult. Something isnt enjoyable unless there is a bit of an aggravation attached to it.

It sucks when it happens but I think it's a real arbitrary concept. Some new items deflate faster than others for various reasons.

I agree that newly released (the unpriced / [b]unavailable[/u]) items should be removed from the pool of items that can be asked for in quests.

If it's newly released and available in user shops, then fine (as it's possible to complete the quest). But if it's newly released and there aren't any for sale in user shops, then it really shouldn't be asked for in a quest imo.

I've had it where there were none of the items in shops or trades and only one in someone's gallery which was titled "Not selling" WTH? -_-

Could you please edit your first post so people know there has been a staff response on this issue?

done

Today, I just received a bonus quest for the Wizard. He asked for a [item2=Masquerade Blob Mask] which has just been released from the Migrating Masks for this event. With a time limit to obtain the item to turn in to the Wizard and too soon for any to be for sale by players, this is another example of why newly released items should not be a quest item. I agree that the delay should be at least a month.

They said they wouldn't, but items with NO price should be off limits, just like they have overpriced ones not popping. Annoying, I agree.

I got a thin one with only one item available, but I agree getting an unobtainable would suck!

I was doing Nori's quests today and she asked for :(

I was doing Blue Building quest today and she asked for Arid Blob Beanbag which was only released a week ago and there are none in shops or trades. Rather annoying!

Quentin wants me to get them a White Haircut Coupon? Yeaaahhhh... Let me get right on that. It's not like that item was only released on site [B]1 HOUR AGO[/b]!!!

Agreed!!
