Help for quest (alias: q)

Quests are tasks offered by the people of Willowdale. Accepting one is always your choice, and an accepted quest never expires - it waits in your journal until you finish it. Every quest has a number, shown as [  3] in lists - the quickest way to refer to it in a command.

quest Show your active quests, with progress on each objective. Tracked quests (marked with *) are listed first. This is your worklog - what to do next.

quest  - e.g. quest 3 Show full details for one quest: the giver, the current step, objectives, hints, items set aside for it, and the reward.

quest completed Show only the quests you have finished. Long histories are shown a page at a time - quest completed page 2 shows the next page.

quest all Your full quest record in one compact list - in progress, ready to turn in, rumored, and completed. Green is done, gold is ready to turn in, blue is in progress, purple is a rumor. This is the same view as journal quests.

quest here Show what you can act on where you are standing: quests ready to report or deliver to someone here, and rumors pointing at someone here.

quest in  - e.g. quest in willowdale The same view for a named area.

Working a quest

quest track  / quest untrack  Add or remove a quest from your tracked list. Tracked quests appear first in quest and in the web client's quest widget. You can track up to 7 quests. Tracking an 8th drops the one you have tracked the longest. A freshly accepted quest is tracked automatically.

quest accept Accept a task you have just been offered.

quest complete [name] - also quest finish or quest done Wrap up your business with the people in this room: hand over gathered items and report back, all in one step. If you don't have everything yet, what you do have is delivered, you are paid for it, and you are told what is still missing.

quest item  - e.g. quest item pelt Check which of your active quests needs an item like that.

quest kill  - e.g. quest kill rabbit Check which of your active quests needs a creature like that dealt with.

Where reading lives

Everything you read about a quest also lives in your journal, so quest  and journal quests show the same thing. The quest command is the fast path for the things you do - tracking, turning in, and checking your active work.

Quest items

Items a quest needs are set aside in a separate pouch the moment you accept the quest or pick them up. They take no pack space and are handed over automatically when you give them to the right person. Anything left over when the quest ends is cleaned up for you.

Partial deliveries

If a quest wants more items than you are carrying, deliver what you have - you will be paid for each delivery, and the rest of the reward comes when you finish.
