    The reward For players level 60-80 is Valor Medals which can be exchanged for Exp or a piece of gear which expires in 7 days. I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

    What time ( Server Time ) did you try to take the quest? And you are level 60?

    The public quest NPC will not appear until 9AM server time.

    If you are there after 9AM server time and everyone else is able to take the quest and you are not, I would recmmend relogging.

    If nobody is able to take the quest and it is after 9AM server time, then the NPC just did not appear for some reason. It happened yesterday. -.-

    No idea I haven't noticed. I would say just go to http://pwi.perfectworld.com/ and take note of the time on the right hand side. That is the server time.

    Server Time has nothing to do with the sun and moon in game; server time is Pacific Standard Time (West Coast USA) , or GMT -7 hours

    Ok what's I'm about to say is that it's very rude of pw ppl that this public quest npc shows up only at certain time!!! The reason why is rude is that u guys didn't considered that ppl have different time zones- so not everyone can make that quest!!! So please next time when u make certain new quest (hope u do) think about all ppl who play pw..... after all this is INTERNATIONAL game.. isn't it?

    Did this quest a few times on my 7x melee cleric for the lulz, roughly 4 medals each time and 53k exp. Didn't need any pots at all, didn't even take agro except on the 200 mob thing at the start.

    EDIT:

    Ok, gets even better, seem after a few more runs that 4 medals was bad luck. Total results from the runs I did today... 4, 4, 6, 4, 7, 7.
    So a few hours questing for a total of 32 medals for a nice 424,512 Exp 88,320 SP.

    Just to point out again, I used a melee cleric with axes. So even a decent BM could do far better. No pots, charms. I think the important thing here was that I was completely solo.

    Considering it was 4 times the exp of WQ and just as quick, I doubt I'll being doing any WQ till 8x :p

    Thanks for the guide, it's very useful ^^
    Clears most of my doubt.

    But there's 1 thing I like to know, let's say I'm a cleric, not in any squad but I start healing, buffing & resurr anyone on the field, do i get points for it too?

    Pretty sure point are decided by how much damage your squad does divided by the # of players in the squad, aka your squads avg damage per person.

    So is this public quest only available to lvl 60-80 players? It says on the PWI site that u have to be at least lvl 60. But does that mean lvl 80-90 ppl can also do it?

    Curious about that too, will random heals, buffs and rez's gain any contribution? Also does self-healing gain contribution? I mean, lets face it a melee cleric isn't out-damaging wizzies and sins or even BM's but I still out-contri a lot of them.

    Unfortunately no, level 80-94 players can't do public quest at all :/

    Oh and last question, is there any cap on exp rewards? O.o Meaning if I hand in say 4000 saved up medals at once, I'll gain the full 50 million exp or whatever it is right? Would suck to save that much and get, say 999,999exp. b:chuckle

    well roughly to help answer some of the questions PQ is available at 9am server not sure what time he dissappears cuz im normally sleep lol but for round 1 of PQ u kill 200 mobs for some reason most ppl squad (dont ask why ) XD but here are results of kills SOLO: 30points DUO: 15 points Trio:10points Quad is 7 and i havent gone past 4 mems because im there to win b:chuckle next round ^^ is m best round lol each mob solo is worth 300 points DUP:150 TRIO:100 QUAD 75. and the last round the 2 bosses if u are fast enuf lol or smart like me ^^ SOLO 1500pts DUO:750 TRIO:500 QUAD IS 375 I think lol not sure about quad for that last part. There are other rewards to PQ than just the xp and armor lol with enuf medals u can turn them in to get a chance to win a white panther mount and a all-class assassin pet but its only a chance hunt threw the forums and u will find the cords for the guy were u can exchange 150 for this chance. For those of u that have said u did not recieve any tokens it is you did not contribute enuf to the quest to recieve any. Also for those that said veno sin or archer own at PQ put them up against me lol and they will get nothing more than second place and if im in a squad they will rank 4th ask anyone that PQs 60-80 on Lost City lol im the King (Self Proclaimed) for those wizzys out there just to let u no get some jiaozi and open DB solo on a few mob at a time me mself i can tank the whole 2nd pit with cleric and some to keep pull the mobs....

    Great Topic ^^ just added some more insight to it and im going for the white panther woot and for those of you lvl 80s that decide to stick with pq for medals like me u need 5,000 medals just about to lvl from 80-90 in a sec lol thats 500 wins of first place ^^

    If you do partiipate in a squad i recommend no more than 3 ppl or u might lose Cleric to heal wizzy to DB and another clan that can pulll extremely well ive gone with a veno that works the best so far DB the whole pit and u have just killed about half of the 50 kills need lol go for the sacrificers there MT DB hurts them alot more than the shaman which are Fire mobsb:laugh

    Full zhen squad = whole squad at the top.

    It's just as in grinding with 3 people. You'll split the exp by 3, but you kill 5 times faster so in the end you'll get more

    For clerics, as far as i know, healing doesnt bring any points at all. Its better to just focus on dd and heal as few times as possible in order to still contribute to the team. However, if you are close to your squad when a mob is killed, their contributions will spill to you.

    I can do decent on solo cleric pq.

    Phase 1 : Find and solo the vultures, do not go near the dogs. All of them give the same points anyway, might as well go for the easiest.

    Phase 2 : Spam aoe as much as possible and focus on dd. Heal and purify as needed but I would rather use the chi for a sparked razor feather or tempest.

    Phase 3 : Stay away from the boss so that you won't get paralysed. It's up to you whether you want to purify your own debuff.

    Also, for all the rez-ing request, those don't give any points. Generally i try to rez as little as possible but thats really up to you. I've fallend from top 10 before just to rez someone. Is it worth it? Depends on you.

    Despite saying all that, in a team pq, i would heal a more and try to contribute by dd. BB and RB are just a waste of time and charm, imo, unless you have a Zhen type of squad.

    My goal is just to get as many medals as possible with the least amount of mana used. Hope this helps.

    The zhen approach seems a waste of money tbh. You get maybe 2-3 medals more than someone 1v1'ing and end up with a massive repair/charm/pot bill.

    This guide should be stickied too.

    So I was doing the Public Quest at Lonely Cloud Reef with my wife and we finished with the top 2 rank, but when we flew back to the Pioneer Officer Windshaker we didn't get anything. The mini quest bar was gone on both our screens but it was still there on the quest list. It read "tallying results" or something. But the thing is it stayed that way for the longest time while everyone else was already starting the next PQ. We reloged and it said FAIL.

    Anyone know why we didn't get anything?

    The quest is only avail from 9am-11pm server time, which is Pacific. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, since it is "international" but that's how it's set up.
