    Oh yes, of course, make the penalty high enough that a newbie couldn't afford it!

     

    I, for one, certainly don't mind doing the rats in DP - at least it's a fast quest. But the boars quest with the low spawn and high number of people hunting either needs to be adjusted (increased spawn rate) or changed to lower than 30 boars!

     

    As for Xaquelina, how is someone who less than a/d 10/10 carry 40 cactus or has less than a/d 20/20 supposed to do MM? What newbie could afford a MM cloak? Come on people get real and take a look at it from a new person's perspective.

    I'll be one of the first to admit that Entropy isn't known for posts with detailed explanations or support for his statements. He's terse, period. But I think it's safe to assume that he is talking about your assertion that "Xaquelina doesn't look at levels at all." The fact that you may not be given something to harvest that is above your level does not also imply (for example) you can carry it or that you'll be safe on the map. In fact there's one daily that sends you to a PK map, so that's clearly not safe for anyone.

     

    Not every quest (daily or one-time) is intended to be able to be completed by everyone. Some are simply to hard until your character has advanced more. If you can't complete a quest (even with help as in the case of a map with monsters) then you will have to save it until you are more prepared. It provides incentive to play the game and advance your character as well as accomplishment when you can complete something that previously you couldn't.

     

    This is why there should be an OPT OUT option! And I would think that a "daily" quest may be challenging enough but not so difficult that you couldn't obtain the skills in order to finish it in 24 (real life) hours.

    As an aside: is it known whether levels are taken into account for the assignments (both Haidir and Xaquelina)?

     

    For sure Haidir takes in account the levels of the player for the assignments, but for xaquelina i doubt it.

     

    Sorry to reply to such an old thread, but thought maybe a newbie's thoughts would help change things.

     

    Xaquelina doesn't look at levels at all. As a newbie I was asked for 40 cactus needles which of course I couldn't carry. I have also been sent to maps that I couldn't really handle and died, got lucky for 1 quest to MM because peace day occurred and I could actually go without dying for a change!

     

    Yesterday Haidir was sending players to Laura in PL to kill 30 boars. How many boars spawn on that map - 5 at a time maybe??? There were 20 people on that map hunting and it was a nightmare. If I could have opted out, I certainly would have. Then let's talk about the gc earned for that quest - 300gc for taking hours to finish that one due to the number of players trying to do it, while the easy Kane's 30 rats earns 400gc. If I get assigned the 30 boar one again - I won't do it :pickaxe:
