Joining the Order? (Part 1)

GUIDELINES
:bulletwhite: Your character can now work as a double agent of sorts, helping the Order out. Of course, who's to say you're not joining them only to help your own Kingdom too? But first, you must actually join their ranks....
:bulletwhite: Your task is to spy on your expedition team leader of your choice.
:bulletwhite: Submit a full colored illustration or 2 sketches of your character performing the task.
You may also instead RP this task via note or Forum with any leader of your choice.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
:bulletwhite: This sidequest is composed of two parts. To fully join the Order, you must complete both parts.

RNPCs Board



Old Fashioned Weapon

:iconsaysplz: Oh? You seek my aid, mortal? How interesting. But helping you will have a cost. Bring me some pure, raw Lun'Erco from Niveria and hand them to a blacksmith in Iserba. I wish for a spear as good as my old one.

GUIDELINES
:bulletwhite:Find this pure Lun'Erco Eldine speaks of around the ruins of Niveria and bring it to a blacksmith in Iserba. You're free to draw any part of the task.
:bulletwhite:Apparently, the Lun'Erco is so pure it's in liquid state. I thought Lun'Erco was an ore? Remember to bring some sort of container!
:bulletwhite: You can submit either two colored pieces or a two pages (or more) comic.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS
:bulletwhite:Speak with Eldine about what kind of spear she wants before heading to Iserba. You can find Eldine at the MS Forums or via note RP. (the RP doesn't have to be long, so don't worry!)
:bulletwhite:Eldine can only help you if a mission or quest is on Khivann, or if she's with the teams.

DEADLINE
:bulletwhite:None

REWARD
:bulletwhite: Extension of a quest or mission deadline for you only. This means your submission will earn the same amount of points even if the deadline has passed. (Note: this also means your submission will most likely not influence the storyline, however). (1 use)
:bulletwhite: Eldine will grant you +3 points in every status if she's with you during an RP (chat event/forum RP only).






Sidequests

Sidequests are exactly what their name implies; these are optional quests that have no bearing on the plot.

Unlike normal quests and events, sidequests typically have no deadline; they can be completed whenever you’d like. Some sidequests may have deadlines though, such as ones that are seasonal. Most, however, will not have deadlines.
As a consequence of having no deadlines, rewards tend to be lesser than normal quests. For instance, stat rewards for sidequests will always be for a specific stat rather than you getting to choose where to put it; +1 str, +1 def, etc. Item rewards also tend to be “weaker”.

In addition, doing these quests will earn you individual points that you can later spend on the item shop (TBA).

Members can also contribute to this, creating their own sidequests. Sidequests can be submitted via a note to the group, as long as they follow the original format presented below (icon thumbnail/guidelines/conditions/reward/...).
Submitting a quest will earn you a small bonus when approved; however, you will also be responsible for designing the reward items (if that's the case) for your quest.


Submissions for sidequests should be sent to the new "Sidequests" folder in the gallery. Be sure to include the name of the sidequest your submission is for so there is no confusion.


Recruitable NPCs

Recruitable NPCs, RNPCs, have special sidequests that allow you to recruit them. RNPCs, if recruited, have special effects as their rewards. Rewards here will be better but tasks will also be more difficult.

Some examples of rewards are things like: extending a deadline (or still getting the same points or rewards for submitting late), doubling the points for everyday life submissions, etc. These only apply to the individual, though.
Of course, some conditions are also set like if the RNPC is in Khivann, you can't use the reward/bonus if the quest you're working for is in Beluge. As RNPCs are released, their functions and limitations will be explained.
RNPCs have limited usage. You can only use them X number of times before losing them.
