Quests too op earlygame

Postby shubla » Sat Feb 02, 2019 3:57 pm

There is literally zero reasons to study any curios whatsoever during early game.
I can get like 8k LP from quests very easily. Why should I study curios which give me like 200 lp after an hour?

One require you to wait in your base and the other to move your ass and take some "risks"
Why did you feel you need to make a thread about it ?

Also high luck involved. Beside, it's hard to preform other task during questing with same character.

I kind of assumed 2 years after quests added they would have been balanced more moderately by now. yeah 12lp or 12000 lp rewards, its way way too inconsistent. casuls will be infuriated, hardcore will grind away because its best way to power level by long way.

personally feel like there should be a limit of quests per day or something, something you do rarely which is very rewarding, rather than something you just grind away. right now having a quest log of 12 trees and rocks all asking you to do the same thing, is just a headache not fun.

and also means when you get a fotsam you know longer really give a shit because you just got 6k lp instantly.

tdlr; make quests alot rarer but consistently good (ie. always ok amount of lp, items/exp as bonus.)

Better idea: do both at the same time!!

Another note: I've been eating berries and all kinds of crap and haven't left the 3x FEP bonus but for a few brief moments. I think I was at 2x for about 15-20 minutes yesterday. I think I'm kind of stuck there now as I've had to move from my spawn area and restart all my questing. (tired of losing claim stakes!!)
