There's some things which I think would be interesting as quests - as well as, in a few cases, include often-overlooked features. (plus, I'm bored of failing miserably at Leviathan Harpooning!)

-Put (x) item(s) into the Gift Exchange (I would really appreciate this one - it doesn't seem to be well-known at all! Though it probably needs a revamp first. +1 support post-revamp) -Buy (x) item(s) from the Oracle Token Shop (which, now I think about it, probably needs a revamp - +1 support post-revamp) -Feed a worry to Oatmeal (+1 support) -Feed (x) Dragon(s) of Autumn (+1 support) -Restock (x) items within rarity range (increments of 10, perhaps, but not going too high) -Restock (x) items that go in a particular wardrobe area (chest, back, etc.) -Break open a Pinata (+1 support) -Open a booster pack -Stick a sticker to yourself (+1 support) -More games involved (+1 support) -Eat any food (+1 support) -Complete any quest (+1 support) -Donate food to Charity (+1 support) -Create an item at Asmodeus Genetech Lab (+1 support) -Wash your face with Gabriel (+1 support)

Feel free to post other ideas, ping me and I can add them to this post if you like.

Of course my tablet breaks when I want to start making CWs.

There are some good ideas in there! I especially like the Oatmeal one. And we already have the "Stick a sticker to a friend" one, don't we?

The problem I see with the restocking rarities is that you'd have to know rarities really well to do that. The restocking a certain layer might not be TOO bad.

The gift exchange and oracle token shop both need a revamp imo and would need it before I'd want to see those in there. I don't like the gift exchange because it matches items of similar value and values are not working (like when you hover over an item, those values are way off most times). And it says that UB may not be matched well.

The dragons of autumn would be nice! It is like feeding the minions in the wasteland

Pinatas would be find too but I dunno about the booster packs because those are already expensive.

Things I would like to see:

  • More games involved. We basically only have Spectrail and Leviathan Harpooning. We could add newer games like Pirate Panic, Omen Raiders, Net Gain, Matlal's Jewels, etc.
  • Eat a food. I know we have "feed a specific food to a pet" but any food would be nice too!
  • Stick a sticker to yourself
  • Complete a quest (for that, having ANY other of the normal 10-15 per day quests count would be good)
  • Donate a food to Charity
  • Create an item at Asmodeus Genetech Lab
  • Wash your face with Gabriel

I just included the last one cause easy ones thrown in there are nice even if they don't serve any purpose. Like the oatmeal one!

- perhaps I forgot about the sticker one. Too much Leviathan Harpooning coming up, ehhhh. and honestly, I would just look up items in a shop in shop search until I found something within the rarity range

I'll go add those to the post, thanks!

First of all I love most of these ideas because having to do the same few tasks over and over is monotonous. However,

<li>Complete a quest (for that, having ANY other of the normal 10-15 per day quests count would be good)
I wouldn't like this because I tend to do major drills last, after I've already done all my other quests for the day.

But wouldn't that affect people who still have face paint? I know has face paint and would hate to lose it.

Well if they added it, you could always do Drills first right? :P But yeah just a suggestion so that there was more to do. Hrm....with the face paint...I wonder if they could set up a stand where you can put it back on so that it wouldn't be an issue? (Gosh lull has had facepaint on that long? I bet her skin is irritated :p)

I like doing all my wizard quests first in case I get the extra quest buff so I'd be able to get an extra 50pt token :x I guess if that was implemented into major drills quests I'd just skip it. edit: or wait, I could just do any other quest, duh. nevermind me xD

And I would like them to bring face paint back in general, so the newer players can try it on. xD

- I do the same thing with the Wizard, except I do Shinwa's quests first - but I don't generally do Cursed or Cinthia's quests unless they're special weekend quests, and I think a lot of people do the same, and even if not it shouldn't be that difficult an adaptation to leave a few quests for last?

I had no idea the facepaint was even still a thing, I just assumed that stand was something left over from an earlier plot. That...sounds painful having it on so long, though, though I would like to be able to try it out.

This would definitely have to be revamped before it's a tenable Drills choice. Otherwise you may as well make it "Restock something from the Blackheart Hollow!"

Quote by Cruithne
-Restock (x) items within rarity range (increments of 10, perhaps, but not going too high)
This would take forever for someone like me. I don't restock, so I don't know what items have what rarities offhand, which means I'd just have to sit around picking items at random until I happen to grab enough of the right thing. Which is boring and/or annoying.

Quote by Cruithne
-More games involved (+1 support)
I'd actually take specific games out and change it to "play a game in the Games Room" or whatever -- I can't do the "play Spectrail!" quest because I can't score high enough, and a lot of people (not me, but I've seen complaints) hate doing Leviathan Harpooning, so I think the generic approach works better because then you can play Matlal's Jewels or Caliph's Tomb or Subeku or whatever suits you best.

The only one I really like is "donate [x number of items] to Charity/the DC" :/

What I wouldn't mind having to do;

Pawn an item to the Pawn Shop Buy an item from the Pawn Shop

I think I've always suggested these two anytime I've seen a thread like this.

And yes, facepaint is still a thing for some of us. lol You can take my facepaint from my cold dead, uh, face.

Put a minus one for the Oracle shop, that thing sells out fast near midnight. Nothing Drills gives is worth that aggro. Minus one for rarity range. I restock a lot and sometimes you just can't catch a break. Minus one for any-food or any-quest. While Drills was invented in order to introduce players to the site, these things get covered in the tutorial and are too basic. Minus one for Gabriel. Nothing Drills gives out is worth that. I only washed my facepaint off eighteen months ago.

Worry, dragon, wardrobe layer and charity I support. The others, no opinion

Wow, a lot of these are actually on my list to add to Drills. I really don't see us adding the Oracle shop or grabbing specific rarity (even in ranges). I like adding more games to the list (just a casual play nothing too hard), autumn dragons, donating to charity, and feeding a worry to Oatmeal!

keep the ideas coming guys c:

I don't really support doing a quest just because what if you've done your quests and save Drills for last? Some people leave Drills as an "if I'm bored later" kind of thing and if they do all their quests first they'd have to quit those.

I would also suggest possibly removing a couple and replacing them? Namely Leviathan Harpooning because nearly everyone I talk to that does Drills skips Harpooning. Also free beer deletion, simply because the price of the free beer has risen a lot since it was added to drills and it's gotten incredibly expensive to do multiples of now.

I am totally in favor of more games! Get a score of x in Matlal's Jewel's for instance, or play a game of Caliph's Tomb.

No support for sticking a sticker to yourself. That's like 10k per sticker plus the cost of the sticker itself and totally not worth it after awhile. You'd just be sticking yourself with multiples of the same sticker after awhile.

I think there are some good ideas for what to use! Some of them I'm reaaaally skeptical about but some of them are great~ I'll be checking back to see what else comes up cause I'm an avid Drills participant.

Nice suggestions. I think the delete free beer one should be removed, unless there will be a source for new free beers ;)

As for new tasks, +1 for autumn dragons, feeding worries, more games and donating to Charity. Here' a couple of additional suggestions:

  • fighting an opponent (any opponent) in the coliseum
  • deleting an item
