I dunno if this was asked already, but I was wondering when the best time to do the dragon quests was, since I read that you get better rewards the longer you wait

    It depends on what you are working to get. Dragon quests are optional but I think you have to complete each one once before going to the next (20, 31, 41, etc). One thing to also remember is what orders you need. Early on you get only coppers (20) but later you get more gold then silver.

    Alot of information can be seen at this website (warning does not work with IE):

    Really, it depends on your playstyle. I usually like to keep one in my quest log, and if I get bored with what I am doing, I will work on it for a bit, then go back to what I am doing...

    It breaks up the monotony. And since it is optional, there is no need to hurry through them if you dont want to. I guess that if there is something specific you want from your DQ orders, it would help decide if and when you want to do them.
    Don't let my level confuse you. I've done this before.

    if i make the DQ more later i may have more good items???
    For eg. i make Shao Feng at lvl 70 (like Zephyrx said) and i will have the possiility to win the silver order and not the cooper order???

    DQ's are optional, as mentioned by Foulcault. You can do them as you see fit. I do them one of two ways:

    Actively: meaning a DQ is the only quest I do.

    Passively: meaning I have the quest in My log but I'll do it as I travel around to do other quests. Sure it takes longer but you are doubling your quest completions, in a sense. Also, this way you can kill for any drops you may need for the DQ.

    Up to you, though. Good luck :D

    Yeah man, over all, this is the most appropriate answer.
    DQ can be carried out if you do them passively as Drauka ( he-he, Hi man!b:bye) said, but you will complete quite a few and the dragon orders you will get, won't be enough for buying stuff (molds, pets...). For this, there is no level recommendation when to start doing them.
    If you do them intensively, that is really not a good idea because it isn't efficient (it's not costwise and timewise).

    Course sometimes you get bored of grind and farm and need something different, so if you really want, go for it! But I wouldn't get to attached to this kind of quests!

    2 questions...

    i saw a quest of he guy near DQ director that says to try something to give 3 cooper or silver (i dont remember now) and i will have, maybe, a great reward....this is a waste of cooper or i will earn a interesting item?

    and how can i have so many cooper, silver and gold dragon orders if it just exist 8 DQ?

    I think the NPC that you are talking about is the one that trades important items (molds, pets etc) for you dragon orders. For each item there is number of copper,silver or/and gold orders to trade for.

    Yes, there are 8 quests, but they are repeatable!

    Yes, you can repeat DQ as far as I know!

    Regarding your first question, told you : the guy you are talking about is probably the guy(NPC) that you give dragon orders in exchange for important items, like molds for example. Each of this items has it's own "price" in dragon orders. Some require a few copper, some need also silver and gold orders.

    DQ= Waste money on teleports. Go grind on mobs if you really want to level. Go do quests if you like to get some extra exp from mobs. Go do DQ if you like to waste all your money on teleports for some extremely.y useless items.b:laugh
