[Frelorn]

From the September Release Notes, what older quests do you feel need an XP boost. Please keep in mind that we are not redoing any of these quests right now, rather we are just going to boost the rewards on some quests that are a bit outdated.

[Tegmentum]

1. Aerlinthe
2. Gaerlan
3. Invoker
4. Burun Kings
5. Sepulcher of the Hopeslayer
6. Shendolain, Caulnalain, Fenmalain Vestibules
7. Helm of the Elements
8. Queen
9. Caul Recall
10. Impious Staff

[An Adventurer]

1. walking boots/alloy pieces. the dungeons are already balanced, exp rewards are mid/low with today's standards.

2. The Pit/Suzuhara's Care Package. level 60+, only worth 500k total.

3. Olthoi Pincers. Especially the lower end ones, soldier and below. but all could use a boost.

4. most kill-tasks. The ones from Bur and Eastwatch have good rewards, along with newer ones like the zefir task, tusker task, and banished/fallen/rare tasks. But most the originals could use a boost.

5. noobie mukkir nest. Its only 10k I believe. The sanamar beacon/penguin cave quests are much easier than this, and those are 25/20k. This should be maybe 50k exp.

6. Soul Hunter/Asheron's trail - quest out of Sawato. It is 60+ I believe, and gives very little exp, something like 1.3mil.

7. Sanamar/Silyun faction quests + WB/RM quests. Most of these have poor rewards. The initial faction quest rewards all suck. The WB gauntlet quest (head of baron Entemarre) is 80+ and only 1.5 mil. Same for the WB/RM boots.

8. Plateau Village Transit. It is only a level 40+ quest, but it is very hard at that level, and the 1 item per spawn/semi long respawn don't make this a very group friendly quest, especially due to the low exp reward.

9. Young Olthoi Queen. Very low exp, especially when compared to a modern day group quest of about the same difficulty, bonecrunch.

10. Aerlinthe. Again, same thing a Olthoi queen. The rewards are still low even after the update. Both quests could use the high boss kill exp like bonecrunch.

11. Teth Tug of War/Renegade Incursion. The quest is not difficult, but it is time consuming as you have to keep running back and forth. Its a level 60/70+ quest, but the reward is only... 700k I believe.

12. Farmer Koa's quest. Again, a fairly difficult quest for the level range but poor exp.

13. K'rank's Errands. Given by Krank in Linvak Tukal. Most of these are very time consuming tasks, and the reward is some potions/food and 50k/150k exp.

14. Neydisa/Bandit Castle quest/Neydisa Hauberk.

15. Silifi of Crimson stars. Specifically, the exp you get from turning in the rubies/haft to Leikotha

-----------------
Some quests that need to be rebalanced along with exp reward updates:

1. Elysa's Favor. Doesn't fit in with the story at all and hasn't for years.

2. All "starter" quests from former starter towns: Lytel, Samsur, Yanshi, etc. These would be good "next step" quests for starting characters if rebalanced for the level 15-25 player.

3. Seat of the new singularity. Whole quest needs to be redone.

4. most renegade quests/dungeons. Reward weapons are poor quality and I don't think there are any exp rewards for these quests.

[Dragon-Tide]

Original QQ should have much more XP as should G-Man! (and bring back the G-Man global please)

[Acidboy]

1. Olthoi Pincher Quests (Turn them down to 7 days to make them worth it!)
2. Quiddity Orb/Quiddity Weapons
3. Mattekar Robe
4. Shendolain, Caulnalain, Fenmalain Vestibules + Upgrade to GSx.
5. Virindi Implants
6. Shadow Captain's Heaume
7. Olthoi Armor
8. Martine's Mask & Robe
9. Healer's Heart
10. Bronze Weapons = Bring back the town attacks!!! And Trophy rewards. Giveable still.

[Paraduck]

Gaerlan

Aerlinthe

Invoker

Marae Lassel Queen

Healer's Heart

Seat of the New Singularity (Virindi Shroud)

Quiddity Weapons

SOLL/SOLH (Except for SOLL Infusions), including the three related quests to get to the Sepulcher

Dereth Exploration Society rewards/quests.

[Atarax]

1.) Olthoi Queen -- Original one
2.) Aerlinthe -- More for the easy version and a lot more for the hard version
3.) Burun Kings -- Takes forever for the XP involved.
4.) Blackmire Quests -- End bosses could yeild more XP
5.) Gaerlan
6.) Shendolain/Fenmalian/Caulnalian Vestibules
7.) Tusker Tusks -- Increase XP, plus add more tusks at the higher end
8.) Olthoi Pincers -- Increase XP, plus add more pincers at the higher end

...

I tried to order them based on the amount of time, planning, difficulty and teamwork that are involved to complete the quest.

There are many smaller less-difficult quests that would also be good if we could turn in the end reward for higher XP for the trouble it takes to lead/run them. Most of the items these days are pretty useless, but if you could turn in the end reward and get a title and some XP, I think more people would want to run them again... Here are some examples:

1.) Frore
2.) Focusing Stone
3.) Life Giver
4.) Impious Staff
5.) Helm/Shield of Simulacra
6.) Hollow weapons
7.) Green Mire Curiass/Spear (i did this the otherday just for the nostalgia)
8.) Firey Shiled / Superior Helmet
... the list goes on and on...

Good luck, I can't wait to see what u come up with

[Grimes]

Aerlinthe and infusions
Blackmire Quests
Original Olthoi Queen
Burun Kings
Olthoi Pincer Quests
Tusker Tusk Quests
Caul Recall
Sanc Recall / Healer's Heart
Mt. Lethe Recall
Gaerlan

The recall quests are good quests to update as they encourage older players to take newer players through the recalls. And once the newer players have the recalls, they'll be able to travel more of the land.

Green Mire Curaiss - A possibility here is to make it repeatable for different pieces of Yoroi armor each time completed for lower level toons. Increase the AL of the armor.

Lower the level restriction or eliminate on some dungeons. This could make for different places for a low level toon to level instead of everyone ending up in the Fiuns Dungeon.
