I started to do these yesterday, and this problem is driving me insane. I need to constantly remind myself not to click the complete button before the page reloads, or I'll get stuck with the items showing as "turned in" and no way to continue except navigating back to the quests through the header. Yesterday, when I first started, I didn't even know where or how to find the quests in this situation, as I don't use the new site too much (because it generally loads way slower than the old website), and the quests seem to only be available from the news page.

I also had an issue with one quest item earlier where it showed as available in the NPC shop, but when I tried to buy it the page would just reload, not giving the item but still showing it as available in the shop. I tried reloading quite few times and navigating back to the guest through the main page, but it still showed the item listed in the NPC shop, but would not let me buy it. I think the item actually wasn't in the shop anymore but for some reason, the quest was not registering that.

Other than the few hiccups, I'm enjoying the new quests

Im getting alot of this error 419 Page Expired

Same, as above. Kumos keeps giving me the 419 Page Expired error and I need to log back in to continue what I was doing. Seems like the site keeps logging me out on its own constantly (happened twice while trying to make this post)

For Miss Maybel's quest, when you click complete in the pop up on the top of the screen does not redirect to the turn in page of miss maybels.

What I like about the new quests:

• better rewards + gives you a breakdown of how the sp is rewarded (base quest + item value bonus)
• tells you exactly if the item is already in the inventory/ vault
• immediately tells you the price in npc shop v user shop
• there's a pinned bar on top that shows you the active quest and whether or not you've secured the item + a Complete/Give up CTA button right next to it

Now to the bit I didn't like, which is how the questing works: In the current (old) quests, i would have max. 2 browser tabs open -> 1 is the quest page and 1 where I would input the item names into the search bar and buy them off npc/user shops. But in this one, I would 'open new tab' for all the items requested (up to 4 tabs) and buy them 1-by-1. So at one point, my browser will have 5 tabs open, and I then would have to close off the item tabs 1-by-1 once Ive purchased them. Why? It's bc if I try to use a single tab to buy it, I don't know how to continue getting the subsequent items other than keep returning to the quest page and navigate from there. Although the pinned component does give you a short cut to user shops or npc shops to obtain item, but only the main quest page lists the price between the 2, so I need to go back and check which shop sells cheaper. This way of questing ends up a bit more inefficient than the previous quest model bc of all these page jumps and in this current version, pages load slower, so not exactly a great user experience for me. In that case, although the current UI is amazing, the old one feels a bit more therapeutic.

Thank you again for revamping the quests though. <3

After using the kumos site a bit more for testing the new quests and doing lumi related stuff, I have a few UI/UX related suggestions. You might already be aware of these things but I thought I'd post here anyway in case these are something you haven't considered yet.

I don't remember where I first read a comment about the new site feeling less personal than the legacy website, and I agree. Even with the ability to choose the same theme, it still feels like the old site is somehow warmer and more welcoming. I've been thinking why that might be while I've been swapping between the sites for few days to do quests on both and one thing that really stands out to me while doing the quests on kumos is how small all the npc images are. I can't really make out many details and am mostly relying on remembering how the quest and shop npc's look on the legacy website.

To demonstrate this I took a few screenshots on Kumos, put them into spoilers so the post doesn't become massive.

When accepting a quest, I think the npc image should be bigger, more like on legacy, so it would feel more like the player is interacting with them. A smaller image on the top where the quest is tracked is ok as it's more of a reminder for who's quest you are currently on.

I have the same issue with the shop npc's, the image is way too small. I think this page would look better if the space reserved for the npc either took one more item row of space, or was at the top of the items all the time, like in legacy. In either case, you would get more space to make the image larger and make the experience feel more personal to the user. even if you kep everything else the same as now, make the image large enough to take up the full width of the card reserved for it.

As a comparison, here's a screenshot of Mysterious Melody, where the image size is so much better. It's not a massive difference, but enough to make it feel more personal because you can make out all her features. Design similar to this would be better for the quest giver npc's as well as for shop npcs. To me this looks ok on mobile as well where ths first thing you see is the image of melody and the everything else after that.

The last but probably the biggest issue to me is with the bar for tracking your active quest, it does not resize to narrower screens or mobile well at all. I'd consider separating it into at least two separate design cards that could be stacked on narrower display, one would have the quest npc and items, and the other would have the timer and the "give up" and "complete" buttons. Or some similar break down, but right now there's too mucn information on the same row in that one card to adjust well enough. When I tried to quest on my phone, I also noticed that on the player shop list the "buy" button doesn't fit in the screen and it took me a moment to realize I had to scroll to the side to find it, same things as with the give up and complete buttons.

Now that I've gotten more used to the questin on kumos, I do like the flow more than on legacy. The only thing I'm maybe missing is seeing the price comparison between npc and user shop prices somewhere while you are looking for the items. Not quite sure how or where to change it, but now I need to remember to check the price differences on the main quest page and note if anything is cheaper on user shops before I move on to get the items as this difference doesn't show anywehere else. Over all I prefer the expetience on Kumos, the loading speed has definetly gotten shorter than it was.

I just want to register my complaint about nerfing Saggi today (maybe yesterday? I blazed through my quests yesterday and didn't pay attention cause I had a party to go to and that ate up all my braining). Quest 1: ~60k turned in, 100k reward. Quest 2: 68k turned in, 176k reward. Quest 3: 81k turned in, 126k reward. quest 4-83k turned in, 126k reward. Quest 5-99k turned in, 75k reward. Definitely nerfed, I'd been getting close to 3m for weeks off him before this. Total profit from 5 Saggi kumos quests? 212k. Paltry, especially from him.

Edit: All 5 quests were the same exact item, so I had to give up 4 of 5 as he's only paying out 1mil and not worth it. :( ..... Saggitarius is asking for the same three items two quests in a row, not sure if others are getting that error? Elwood Trading Card, Funnel Cake, Ruby Jeweled Cuff

Same happened to me today. All 5 Saggi quests were identical:

Saggi quests for today asked for the same 3 items 5 times in a row (Elwood Trading Card, Funnel Cake, and Wreathed Topaz Circlet). The 2mil funnel cake requirement caused me to give up on all 5 quests....:/

Same error with Saggi's quest fixed on the same three items :(

Also getting the same Saggi repetition quest. Mine is: funnel cake, red candy cane, wreathed topaz circlet

Noticed some strange things while questing today so I figured I'd come drop them here.

Poison Gelatin coming up with an NPC shop option, but always 'sold out' when clicked. This item also came up a lot in my quests today across multiple quest givers.

NPCs giving duplicate quests, asking for same set of items twice or more. Repeat items also felt more common than usual today, even when the set of items itself varied some.

Some of those repeating items resulted in imbalanced sP payouts as the quest giver would get stuck on an expensive item. Not sure if this is a byproduct of them causing users to overbuy select items today or if something in their item selection process is borked re: values they grab for.

Speaking of repeat items, I received Snail Shell as a prize 10 times today. Mauve gave me nothing else if I recall, and the Wizard kept including it, too.

Also had a few instances of clicking complete, getting an error saying I was missing items even though the items showed as green/had on the page, and having to click complete again to get it to finish properly.

I keep getting a lot of repeat items today as well.

Saggi keeps asking for Elwood trading card, and his reward is always 100,0xx sp (I think I got 100,026, 100,046, 100,023 and two that I forgot to keep track of) despite the actual breakdown of the item values etc. I keep getting way more bang for my buck by doing Maleria's quests, right now Saggi's quests barely break even. Miss Mabel insists on getting a Buttwings every single day, and it always shows up as out of stock in the npc shops the second you try to purchase it.

Alexander keeps asking for insanely expensive candles (+1mil), and Mauve is still obsessed with bongo drums at least for me :')

I really like that you can see item prices immediately though, makes questing a lot faster!

Saggitarius is giving out 75k-200k per quest, when I used to make millions for weeks. His quests are definitely not worth doing because you spend more on quest items than you get in the rewards.

I've still been noticing items showing an NPC shop price on the quest page, but turning out to be sold out when clicked. Some of them are items I'm seeing across multiple days so I'm wondering if certain items are just stuck that way. Here's a list of ones I noticed today; Buttwings has come up each of the past few days and seems to always false-flag as NPC shop available.

Buttwings, Cloud Baby, Equilovy, Tall Aeanoid Lamp, Honey and Lemon Tea Bag, Cards Issue 1

Still getting a lot of the same item in the quests. Buttwing, Bongo Drums, My Love Sticker, and Sushi especially.

Finally giving feedback as I was fine with things until the most recent update to quests (done when the book quest was added). The quests are now asking for a lot of Rarity 175 items. I avoid Quentin's quests because he often asks for those and the prices are crazy/rewards don't justify doing them. It is now literally giving me anxiety to start any of the Kumos quests because of the R175 frequency.

Is there a reason for not keeping the quests R1-99?

Edit: I guess I really like knowing which shops I'll be questing at, according to which character is hosting the quest. IE: If Alexander always asks for books, bookmarks, stickers I'd be thrilled. If just a certain character asks for items from Carnival, Zombie, and other Special Shops...super cool.

Got a request from the Librarian which included an item over 500k (Striped Plush Dragon Cushion), which is not normal at all for most of his quests, only to lose a lot of money from the reward.
