Lately, I've been doing a lot of quests, and I've noticed that Quentin's Quests almost always aren't worth doing. I think one quest out of fifteen today had a greater payout opportunity than what I would spend. I actually only ended up completing a couple because I've noticed that when they ask for items more than 10k sp, it's not gonna pay out enough.

I think the problem is that they ask for so many items that are super expensive/rarer. I used to be able to do Quentin's Quests all the time, and I really enjoy them. I'm really sad that they aren't up to par with the other quests. I think it would be a good idea to take a look at Quentin's Quests and make a few adjustments. I've noticed they don't give as much sp as the other quests (and the items are pretty much worthless).

Anyway, I love Quentin, please make their quests worth doing again.

I was thinking of making a list of all the useless holiday items she could ask for...instead of ornaments and stuff from the steamworks/libertine ... like seriously wth ???. like there are days were I don't even get a single mage amulet I dread doing her quests.

I do her quests like at the beginning because I know I'll make a poor profit or even lose sp. So then I'll do the other quests so I trick myself that it wasn't a HUGE WASTE OF TIME Been wanting to make a board about her for a while....

I don't think the problem is that the items they ask for are too expensive, necessarily. I think that Quentin should be giving out more sp if they're going to ask for items that rare/expensive.

That thread got really off-topic too. Is it 3 month for the necro rule? I didn't really feel comfortable bring that thread back up.

I don't know about the necro rules for this forum. I just remembered there was a similar board less than 2 months old if you wanted to see other opinions on it. :)

We don't need more SP in the economy.

I'm pretty sure most people don't do Quentin for the SP. They do them because the quest have a chance of giving you mage amulets.

If you want SP, there are other quests you can do to get it. Wizard, Saggi/Sarah and Maleria, namely.

That's not what Quentin is for, though. Quentin really is useful for the rare prizes they give.

Well that chance needs to increase, because I've done all mine for 2 days and haven't gotten an Amulet. And The profit isn't terrible, its about luck. I made 50k off them today.

Obviously thats practically nothing, but it is profit.

I always seem to do fine with Quentin. As long as you quit the quests that ask for 40k and up, they seem to pay out well.

[Edit] Out if 15 quests, quit 2 and still came out with 150k profit. No amulets though :(

Small sample size, sadly.

In 30 quests, there are times where I get 0 amulets, and there are times I get 5. It happens, it's just dumb luck.

I haven't been bothered by the higher price of the items Quentin asks for too much but the fact that I haven't gotten an Amulet for more than a week now is pretty lame. Quentin used to be on my list of favorite quests for months now but at the moment it's really not fun doing them.

Couldn't care less about the sP because I just need the amulets. Sometime I get 5 amulets and then none. I usually quit expensive quest so I barely lose anything.

I fuggin' hate luck.

As long as you get an amulet or two Quent is more than worth doing. Even if you don't trade them in for tomes you can sell one amulet for like 350k sP which is a pretty nice turnout.

1. CSC prices (this only coming from those who don't sell).
2. Lag.
3. Luck/Chance.

I would go for no.3 personally, the amount of chance based crap on subeta is too damn high :I!

That said, I don't really like Quentin's quests and it's typically begrudgingly that I do them. 1. I hate chance (if subeta's taught me anything it's only to gamble when you don't mind loosing everything and that I have no luck, needless to say I'm no gambler irl) and 2. I hate having a pile of crap I have to hand delete because it's not worth anything/never sells and I can't frag it.

I really really wish the not-graveyard shop stuff was at least fraggable (ie: give them rarity again, doesn't matter if they don't stock anywhere formally-- if they have a rarity other quest givers will ask for them and maybe they'll be worth selling :'D if not, I can frag them).

I feel like that alone, would make their quests a lot better.

YES. ALL OF THAT. YES.

Tbh, I dont even mind the lag anymore. I just find something else to do. But when I'm questing and actually attempting to play the site it should be worth my timeeeeeee.

I hate chance things.

Yeah the lag is like COMMEE ONNNN FFFF whatever and I wander off to find something else to do for a while (and as a person who sells csc, yeah really something I'd complain about). But my god the chance, anytime I see LUCK or CHANCE or RANDOM my first reaction is to recoil and hiss. Randomluckchance is not something subeta has a good grasp on, it always turns out like YOU SHALL HAVE NONE OR YOU SHALL HAVE 10... there is no in between, so I really wish it'd stop being the go to thing for pretty much everything.

But if their other non-graveyard shop stuff was asked for by other quest givers and/or I could just frag it then at least the 25k+ loss in sP every quest/no amulets wouldn't be such a bother.

really though, so much hate at chance everything 5ever

It's like how "random" events can be something you don't see for a year, but then you've got them every day for a week, or even multiple times a day. Something in the coding is completely fucked.

I don't mind the way Quentin's quests are right now. I get a lot of quests asking for Holiday items that cost 40-50k, and I buy them knowing I probably won't make back what I spent in pure sP, just so I can maybe get a mage amulet. One or two amulets can be sold to earn me more sP than doing all 15 of Quentin's quests. I don't really mind that, especially since I make like 1.5-2.5mil doing all of my quests every day.

I have a much bigger issue with Cursed Quests asking for SubQ items.

To me, it's not even so much the item costs that are the problem but rather the fact that pretty much any quest where they ask for a really common or mundane rarity item seems to pay so little that even a measly 9K isn't worth spending on them. Otherwise, item prices don't seem to be too bad to me.

What I wish for, mostly, is that Quentin would quit asking for holiday items that aren't in "season". Asking for xmas ornaments in April causes me to spend upwards of 50k trying in vain to get a mage amulet. I used to love Quentin's quests but anymore I'm just praying I get at least 1 mage amulet to make the rest of my effort seem worthwhile. Even getting one is basically saving me 300k.

I'm not even sure how they'd go about fixing the quests really, but I wish they would
