I have no idea how to do this but... This is basically a list of the Frequently Asked Questions regarding some of the most popular quests you can find in PWI... And I'm gonna try to catch them all and answer them here... So here goes... This might be a long list.

===========================================================

A: Why are quests in color?
Q: Colored Quests mean different quest types, White Quests mean it is a plain, old, and common quest with no special item reward in the end with the exception of celestone fragments or celestones; Blue Quests mean that you get an item reward in the end, the item is most commonly an equipment, better than the ones that you can buy from NPCs; Yellow quests means that they are Cultivation Quests, you must finish this to a) unlock your Call of Duty and b) Learn higher leveled skills, aim all yellow quests at your first priority to finish. One exception to yellow quests would be Wraith's Ploy, which is a storyline quest chain that has nothing to do with cultivations; Purple quests are exclusively given from Mister Tso, the winemaker in west archosaur, completing these will reward you wines, which can be given to the Old Swordsman in each instances to wipe out a considerable amount of mobs in that instance; And the light-blue colored quests, exclusively for Tideborns, this is a chain quest that is the introductory quest for Tideborns; Finally, red quests mean that you are done this quest, but you do not have enough space in your inventory to turn it in to get rewards, clear sufficient inventory space from your inventory first.

A: Jumping Quests - How to do?
Q: I would gladly recommend you to save that for later, since the reward is a free charm, although there's only 10k in it, it still comes up somewhat significant in the future. If you really choose to do this quest, then do not take this immediately, take some time and scout around, find the chest, find a way up there, and do it.
For Humans: It's the south gatehouse, jump up to the cliff with the two rocks to the east of the gate (though when you come up to the gatehouse, most commonly it will appear to your left), get on top of the two rocks, take a double leap to the gatehouse and get the chest.
For Untamed: It is on the south gate, the gate that you enter from your starter place to the City of the Lost, jump to the eastern dragon head, onto the small ledges such as the shield emblems on the wall, and find your way up.
For Winged Elves: It is on the "highest platform in Plume City", somewhere on ELEVATION 31, easily, get on elevation 31, fly around the big tree looking for that chest.
For Tideborns: You are given 15 minutes instead of 5 minutes to hunt for this chest, it is located on top of the biggest mushroom right outside of the Netherspring Camp, find a staircase made up by mushrooms, it's mostly trial and error finding the correct "stairs" to take up to the chest.

A: At level 9 I got a system message, what is that?
Q: That would be your first cultivation quest, finish it immediately, dismiss the pop-up, press Q and toggle your quest list, on the quest list find a quest written in Yellow, and follow the directions from there.
Humans: You are asked by the Taoist in Etherblade to seek out the human recluse, and then you will be asked to kill 9 Emaciated Footsoldiers.
Untamed: You are asked by the Taoist in Lost City to seek out the Untamed recluse, and then you will be asked to kill 9 Ursogs (forgot the exact name)
Winged Elves: You are asked by the Taoist in Plume City to seek out the Elven Recluse, and then you will be asked to kill 9 Emaciated Traitors.
Tideborns: You are asked by the Meditating Shaman in Raging Tides City to find the Tideborn Recluse, she is located on top of a mushroom, with a shorter mushroom beside her, jump on the shorter mushroom and get to her, you will be asked to kill Nirvana Jellyfishes for 8 Miracle Beads, they are located on top of other mushrooms that you can get to from the recluse.

A: At level 19 another cultivation appears, what do I do for this one?
Q: This cultivation starts off at the taoist in your city (or with Tideborns it's the shaman), and find two celestial sprites, one is a RARE (so don't panic if you can't find it in the first couple of kills) drop, the other you must farm from a flower-shaped herb thing. It is usually around the mob that possesses the first sprite, so search around a bit and you'll find it.
Humans: You are asked to kill Frozen Wolfkins.
Untamed: You are asked to kill Feligar Vanguards.
Winged Elves: You are asked to kill Carapest Terrors.
Tideborns: You are asked to kill Ebony Helldukes.

A: What is the tab thing for?
Q: That is for your Call of Duty quest, a quest that sends you to a certain cave to kill the final boss, along with some mobs given, it is impossible to attempt to solo this until level 50+, so find a squad, you will need this tab to attract squad members, in dungeons there are pillars, using this tab at the pillar will Trigger a quest that all squad members will receive, and in the end everyone will get EXP, this is your ticket to get people to help you, is it possible to finish your Call of Duty without this? Absolutely, however, no labor comes free, so... You have better cough up the tab, finding people that generous is not really honest, is it?
And yes, Call of Duty IS FB.

A: What are Dragon Quests?
Q: Just remember: They are not worth it, especially when Bounty Hunters first came out, DQs are not totally worthless, don't even waste your time on it, all your DQ items, NPC them. But if you really wish to know, this is first TRIGGERED at the level 20 quest "Love of Dragons", once that is completed, Dragon Quests can be taken from the Dragon Quest Director in your starter village (except Tideborns as they do not have one in their starter village, visit some other race's starter village)

A: What happens at level 20? I'm confused!
Q: At level 20, all 4 races joins together in the Capital City Archosaur, it is there that all 4 races will now get the same quests (except elves as they do not have access to Elder's Secret Quests; Females as they do not have access to Orchedelia Flower quest; and Every class except venomancers as they do not have some quests that requires you to tame a pet).

A: What's up with the System Message at 21?
Q: That is the beginning of Cultivation 29, it is the most boring, tormenting, and dragging cultivation you will ever see, it begins at 21 and when you finish that, it comes up again at 24 and when you finish that, it begins yet again a third time at 29, you must do all three in order as if you do not finish one, the other will not come up, and remember - not finishing this does not give you access to Call of Duty and more skills.

A: I see a dungeon called Secret Passage, what is that?
Q: Secret Passage is where most of your quests will be done as exclusive mobs are found in there, and it is one of the two ways to enter your FB 29 - Hall of Deception.

A: What are Illlusion Stones?
Q: You can pay a fee to stones to instantly be teleported into a dungeon to begin your FB (with the exception of Twilight Teleport - Which sends you to the Twilight Temple)

A: What happens at level 30? What is Crazy Stone?
Q: Crazy stone is a daily quest, starting from level 30, your quests will slowly deplete and you will find yourself at about 75% to next level and quest-less, so Crazy Stone is a way out, by buying shards from the Merchant and if you are level 40+, combining them at the jewelcraftsman and turning them in to an NPC, you will receive EXP that increases with your level. You start this by talking to Hou Jenhsi in Western Archosaur once per day, at level 60+, Hou Jenhsi no longer gives you Crazy Stone, but the girl next to her, Tu Jo, starts giving you Crazy Stone quests, but by then no one does it since the grade of shards is so high it will cost a lot.

A: Why did my cultivation 39 Disappear?
Q: 90% of the people in PWI never bother to read quest dialogues, and this will be your own undoing. If you have taken the trouble to read the quest, you will see that you are asked to take the orb to a ghost, and you can only do so by reaching to ghost realm - to die. So die! You may choose to get PKed if you are in a PVP server, if you are in a PVE server, hint hint, Sword Tamer is standing right below where you get the quest, and he is hungry! :D

A: Level 40, I get a quest to Head Hunter?
Q: Congratulations, as you have access to BH, Bounty Hunter quests are also daily, and it requires you to break into a dungeon and murder the final boss with help. Here's a possible target List:
Level 40 - 49: Qingzi
Level 50 - 59: Farren Sereneti, Calcid of the Flame, Hercule Trioc
Level 60 - 69: Fushma the Hexelecot Lieutenant, Rankar the Ferocious Ironskin, The Myriadtail Wyvern, Zimo
Level 70 - 79: Zimo, Ofotis, Qianji, Raving Drake Brute, Gluttonix, Resentful Pyrosteosis
Level 80 - 89: Resentful Pyrosteosis, Damned Gaurnob, Cennequus Polearm.
And so on so forth.

A: What happens at 59? Where's my cult?
Q: Your FB 59 IS your cult, have fun!

A: Why must I wine FB 59+?
Q: At level 59+, the mobs in a dungeon gets out of hand and will take up a lot of time unless wined to erase all those mobs, if you choose not to wine, you will have a lot of trouble finding a squad as the people who are generous enough are too weak to help, and the higher leveled people have better things to do than spending 3 hours and more on your FB, it takes up their valuable time and burns their charms, rusts their weapons, and it is just not worth it. So please wine your FB 59+

A: What is 20/20/20?
Q: in each instance level 69+, you will be asked to kill 3 types of mobs and 20 of each, hence, 20/20/20, it really is a major pain for you, you must do this for the tabs to your FB, and you will need more than one run to get all 60, as one run does not provide you with all 20 of each mobs, take Wraithgate, you are asked to kill:
- 20 Deadmarsh Adalwolves
- 20 Taurox Captains
- 20 Deadmarsh Soris
One dungeon only contains:
- 10 Deadmarsh Adalwolves
- 11 Taurox Captains
- 10 to 11 Deadmarsh Soris
So you will need more than one run.

==========================================================

I hope that I have not leaked anything... If I have or you have more questions, post a reply and I'll get back to you.

    Great post. I was just wondering about reputation points that you receive from quests, what can you do with those? Thanks.

    Great post. I was just wondering about reputation points that you receive from quests, what can you do with those? Thanks.

    At level 30 if you accumulated over 300 reputation, the Commander-in-Chief in Archosaur (located in the same room as General Summer) will congratulate you, and give you a powerful ring, and the girl next to him (Chin Hua) will sell you awesome pieces of armour for 10k a piece.

    At level 40 if you accumulated over 1000 reputation (which is impossible so soon in the game unless you grind One Man Armies for 50+ hours), the Commander-in-Chief in Archosaur will TAKE your old ring (so don't sell your rank 1 ring) and give you the rank 2 ring, but rank 2 armour is only unlocked at level 60.

    At level 50 if you accumulated over 2500 reputation (again, IMPOSSIBLE SO SOON IN THE GAME), Commander-in-Chief will give you rank 3 ring and you give him your rank 2 ring.

    At level 60 should you accumulate 5000 reputation (again, forget it so soon), Commander-in-Chief will give you rank 4 ring, and another girl in Dreamweaver Port will now sell you rank 2, 3, and 4 armour, rank 2 is only a belt, rank 3 is the leggings, and rank 4 is the top.

    At level 70, same thing (need 10000 rep? I don't know), but this time, the armour seller is in Thousand Streams.

    At level 80, same thing (need 25000 rep? I don't know), armour seller is in Thousand Streams.

    At level 90, at 40000 rep, the Messenger of the Sages will give you sage armour.
    I'm a male... Humanoid... Thing... Well, I'm full of something.

    One exception to yellow quests would be Wraith's Ploy, which is a storyline quest chain that has nothing to do with cultivations.

    Finishing Wraith's Ploy gives you access to OHT, which is essential for the completion of your Spiritual Cultivation. That's why they're the same color.
