I'm really not a fan of the new bar across the top of the NPC quests, which used to be able to be shown when you clicked 'see other quests'. After playing for so long, it's exceptionally irritating when these sorts of things are added unnecessarily as the throw the layout of the page off and where I have to click to start/finish a quest etc. It also makes the quests widgit rather redundant too; there is really no need for there to be both. Please create an option to permanently hide it, or just scrap it all together please

The bar itself is fine but I don't particularly like the way the rest of the page is formatted; I do think the Start Quest button makes more sense in the centre of the screen as before and I am not a fan of the way it draws the eye across.

I like it actually, and it doesn't make the widget redundant for me. I don't do all my quests at once so having the widget is really useful if I want to do one in the middle of restocking or something like that. The big shop search button for the actual quest items is great. Doing my quests on mobile is so much easier and better now!

I like it too! And I guess if it makes the widget redundant. If they end up removing the bookmarks from the other side of the page I can use the space from removing the quest widget to add more links to notepad. But there is Battle, Blue Building, Major Drills, and Shinwa who aren't listed there.

I like that the widget tells us how many quests we have left though. I don't think the exact number is important, but maybe if we have done the maximum for the day their names can be dimmed or the tab can change color? I would like to know at a glance who I still need to quest for.

The new quest bar is very neat! And does not make the widget redundant, because you can easily access quests from whatever other part of the site without having to navigate through the map/accessing quests with a link. I never do my quests in one piece so I use it to go back and forth all the time. If the widget bothers someone, they can remove it anyway.

lol I didn't even notice it was there. Just went and did my quests. It doesn't seem to get in my way at all. I'd never used it anyway. Always use the quest widget from my sidebar - especially because it lets me see how many I've completed and what I still need to finish.

Considering the new layout is supposedly moving away from widgets, the quest bar makes sense and it's a good design choice (even though I still hate the idea of moving away from widgets because customization = <3).

For those who hate the quest bar that much, you can use this in your customCSS to get rid of it. idk if it hides/removes any other toolbars around the site, I don't have time to test right now, but I don't think it should mess with anything else? /removes quest bar/ .nav.nav-tabs {display:none;} explained below that this is going to mess with a lot of things. :'D Sorry! Ignore this code and please remove it if you've used it, not a good fix!

I absolutely love it! I have problems with my wrists so being able to switch through the quest givers without tabbing over and scrolling down through my widgets constantly is a huge help. I just wish there were counters in the bar, especially if the layout is moving away from widgets, but its not a huge deal.

Just a heads-up, that custom CSS is going to mess with a lot of things.

I love the feature, but would love if Shinwa, Drills and Battle Quests were on it if we are moving away from widgets.

Also maybe toggling the completed quests green so you know if you've done all of that NPCs?

@ Bug Whoops, thanks for the heads-up! :'D [edit] Would the code below work better without breaking all the upcoming things? It's been a dog's age since I've sat down and properly done coding and I don't know what's up and coming code-wise for the final layout. Just a CSS scrub that wants to try and help out the folks that really don't like the quest bar for whatever reason they might have, don'tmindme.

div.col-12{display:none;} Ignore this code too, I am made of failure and sadness.

wow, what a nice change! :) I didn't notice it at first, but it makes sense to have the quests tabs on top. :D would be good to have other quest givers too (e.g. battle, blue building)!

I still like the widget in that you can see it anywhere on site (ie don't need to be on a quest page) and it shows your progress. not sure how the progress can be represented on the tabs without making it too crowded, so I like this change, but it wouldn't replace the widget for me at this stage.

I personally like how the widget shows you progress.. i.e. #/10 or #/15 - because I tend to do all my quests at the same time, but sometimes I forget to start Shinwa first so it's nice to be able to see my progress just in case I needed to stop what I'm doing if I got too carried away and start Shinwa then resume questing.

anyhow, if each tab can change colour upon completion for the day that would be pretty nice :)

I like it when I have a full screen (not full-full screen, but a normal window). I tend to do my quests (and battling) in a half screen, though, so I can watch something while doing them and it causes the bar to stretch downward... meaning some scrolling in order to do them. It's a minor annoyance, really.

If we're moving more away from widgets, then what about having the numbers at the top in the tabs with the quest givers' names? Like "Carl (2/10)" "Cinthia (10/10)" "Cursed 0/10" if that's possible?

I agree that there should also probably be links to Battle, Blue Building, Major Drills, and Shinwa along with the others. They're not the same exactly as the 10 main quest givers that go with the quest shops, but those are currently included in the widget and it would be nice to see them all in one place still.

Ahahah! Well... shit. :'D Thanks again for letting me know! An effort was made, but I think it's better that I leave this to the code wizards and instead stick to brainstorming.

I like the bar of quests at the top or, at least, it does not bother me. You also don't get widgets on mobile. (but, I don't like how it is one, long line on mobile (Chrome), but I imagine it will get better later & I don't really play on mobile that often.)

Plus, is the quest widget even default on for new users? Imagine finding one quest and then realizing that there are so many more to do~
