This is the weekend special quest! That means increased prizes!

Cinthia's's Quests

I would greatly appreciate it if you brought me these items as quickly as possible!

You have 30 minutes left to bring me...:

I don't know if I should put this here, in Bugs or in Site Feedback, but lately it seems that the weekend quests aren't giving much for nice payouts. I'm seeming to get very low payouts from Cynthia today and she's the WQ special. I thought that WQs are supposed to give nicer payouts than on normal days. What gives?

For example - I goofed and bought a 100k item for her, reading it as 10k. Seeing as I figured the thing would probably never sell and I didn't want it, I went ahead and bought the second cheap item and finished the quest. I got 2 super cheap items and roughly 2k in sPs. I'm just furious >:O

The above is from yesterday...the below is from today:

I'm literally losing money on her. I've not earned at all today so far. What's going on? :(

Edit: If sP rewards are based on the Overall Average price of items, and that's how it's done on a daily basis when the quest isn't a WQ special, what's the point of the WQ specal? There IS no special then. Just your daily, average quest.

Maybe you are having an unlucky weekend? Yesterday and today I got decent payouts, not a lot but I'm not losing anything either. I did notice that I would get less sP back when Cinthia gives the , but I don't know if it's related to her giving out less sP.

And this is slightly different...some people have been saying that Quentin's quests have become terrible again. But yesterday I made a profit of over 500k (plus plenty of new year tokens). So, relating to Cinthia, It could just be that sometimes you have a good quest day, sometimes a bad one.

Isn't that all the time, though? If that's the case, then the so-called WQ special isn't a special at all. It's just your every-day questing. The WQs are supposed to give you better prizes than just your every-day payout?

I dunno, I think I made a million off her today. Look at the overall average price and quit the ones that aren't high in that area. I also quit the ones that cost more than 100k because she's not likely to pay off as much, though I do get a couple of 100k+ payouts every day.

For some quests though, I agree, the WQ's value is debatable.

Just because they stay based on the same thing (in this case overall average) doesn't mean her payout hasn't been tweaked to be better.

for example, Cinthia just asked for

and the overall average price is 8,481 and I received 10,699sP as well as two items and the overall price is 42,427 BUT the price in user shops is 650k, obviously skip it.

[edit]

I had to quit 3 quests due to items not being worth it

I remember mentioning that not everyday a person is going to make a huge profit from Cinthia, so I'm guessing this still applies for WSQ. I made a profit of 177k and got 4 New Years tokens.

Well there's your problem right there, you're not meant to do the 100k quests with Cinthia. Your OP doesn't make sense, you say you goofed and you know it was a mistake and then you're mad that you don't get a payout for it?

I've been making 300k a day or so from her (made like 700k yesterday though), and while I can't say it's much increased from her normal quests, it's at least consistent. I have a feeling they just haven't nailed down her questing ratio fancy numbers stuff yet, since they just revamped her.

The overall average price is only granted on WSQ days. Otherwise for most quests, it's a fraction of that value.

All quests are now asking for items that have inflated in value, because quests are no longer worth just the usual rewards. They are worth the usual rewards PLUS a new year token, and NYT are in very high demand right now. For instance, all fifteen of my pets are readers so for myself I'm pretty desperate to get enough coins to buy all 45 books.

The items asked for by Cinthia, they may or not give you a good reward, depending on the OAP a few days ago and how that averages into Subeta's supr sekrit formula for figuring this value out.

Today she gave me a couple 100k+ rewards, so I figure she is good as a weekend quest. It doesn't really make sense that you goofed and paid 100k, then used the item on the quest... Then got mad at the quest? o_0 What did you expect to happen?
