Editing Quests

'''Quests''' are a previously inactive and recently unlocked function of the [[System]] that governs [[Innworld]]. The function was unlocked for the [Innkeeper] class by [[Erin Solstice]].<ref name=":0">[https://discord.com/channels/346842016480755724/693365025515110420/971033985931169802 Comment from pirateaba's assistant]</ref>

The [[Grand Design of Isthekenous|Grand Design]] later expanded the ability to post quests for <Ruler> and [Guildleader] classes, as it felt that the ability was too limiting if it is only available for [Innkeepers]<ref name=":3">[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/16/interlude-levels/ Interlude – Levels]</ref> 

==Overview==
Quests are tasks that can be completed in exchange for rewards, which may include money and items, class experience, or even a Skill. Limits can be set by the quest poster such as a deadline or maximum number of people that can undergo the Quest. Similar to how classes and levels are announced, a posted Quest will present itself in the quester's mind and can be accessed at any time. After completion of the Quest, the reward will manifest in a flash of light. Sometimes, a random reward will be given as a bonus.<ref name=":1">[[Chapter 9.00]]</ref> Quests can be personal, and do not need to be publicly posted to be issued.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/06/28/9-03/ Chapter 9.03]</ref> Mass Quests can be issued and will have reward pools, to which anybody can to with any tangible goods.<ref name=":2">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/08/23/9-10-w/ Chapter 9.10 W]</ref> 

There are five categories of Quests: Basic, Rare, Royal, Heroic, Mythical, and Legendary.<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":1" />   

==Requirements==
Quests have minimum requirements in order to be posted:<ref name=":1" /> 

*Concrete knowledge of the task 
**The objective ''cannot'' be hypothetical.
*** For example, an [Innkeeper] cannot post a Quest to exterminate a Shield Spider unless they know it exists.
***Specific details about the target's identity (such as name or appearance) is not required
*Minimum level of difficulty
**The objective needs to be at a relative difficulty level to post Quests higher than Basic.
*Tangible rewards
**The poster of the Quest needs to guarantee the reward.
**The reward needs to match the difficulty of the Quest
Royal Quests can only be posted by <Ruler> classes.<ref name=":3" />

==Trivia==

*Currently, the exact criteria for accessing the ability to post beyond Rare Quests is unknown. [[Chaldion Oliwing|Chaldion]] theorized that it is by the [Innkeeper]'s level; however it is revealed that a Level 55 [Innkeeper] could post Heroic and Mythical Quests, while a different Level 50+ [Innkeeper] couldn't post Mythical Quests.<ref>[[Chapter 9.01]]</ref>
