    My quest list is the first thing that I attend to each time I level, so you can say I do all my quests.

    For certain quests which might require help, I would wait till I can get the required help.

    However, that hay **** quest is still pending for me b:surrender. I am too lazy to make an alt to collect the hay and too cheap to buy it b:laugh.

    It's basically the first thing I look at when I level up, my quest log. Free exp, rep, items, and cash FTW. I haven't done a BH in about 16ish lvls because of the sheer number of quests I have due to the event.

    I do all of the quests that I got, usually. I am not a BH user, but yeah, there is quite a lack of regular missions at higher levels, and the pay is stupidly low it hurts.

    I dont do any normal quests at all on any chars. I did them on my archer before lvl 90, but there was no BHs, Frost and stuff back than <.<

    But now on new chars/alts i kinda do like this to avoid quests:

    lvl 1 -15 = Craft Crazy stones

    lvl 15-30 = Have to do a few quests here, but i also grind on Hyper Exp since questing around crowded Archo with all the morons is painful

    lvl 30-40 = Striped Spider King oracle

    lvl 40-50 = Wicked Pirate oracles + 3 daily BHs in fb29

    Lvl 50-60 = Tideborn Chain quests gives you pretty much 6-7 level here and than BHs

    lvl 60-80 = Daily Bhs, a few Oracle 5 or i go do Public Quest

    85+ its Frost


    I think lvl 80-85 is the hardest tho, since you're to low lvl for Frost. To high lvl for PQ. Doing BHs sucks and takes ages since its inside fb69. Oracles are far to costly. Questing in general gives you no real exp at all and the item/coins rewards are pathetic. Using hypers and grinding during these levels feels kinda wasted to since you would get 200% more exp if u used same hyper in Frost :(

    I did every quest (even the hidden ones) except "The Punishment", the aptly named "give meh 50 hay!" quest.
    I still need about 95k rep for rank 8... so I don't know what this whole "I do quests for the free rep!" thing I keep seeing is... The only way to earn a significant amount of reputation without buying it is to run as many random fbs as possible, to me this seems like a way to kill the fun of one of the best parts of the game (like bh has basically done to fb instances).

    On my barb I still have about 30 quests undone at level 90, and on my psychic I do cultis, dailies and any quest with a coin reward.

    The main reason I see to do quests (besides fun, if you enjoy them) is to earn money while gaining exp, with your first character you will need that coin for skills and gear. Yes, you can make your money merchanting, but simply sitting in catshop 22 hours a day and doing your bh/cs to level is boring as hell and won't teach you a thing about how to play the game.

    I prefer squad based activities (TT/FC/etc.) to solo grinding, but that's just me.

    kinda sad people are missing out on so much rep by not doing quests, guess people can always cash shop rep, sad the degredation of actully playing your charater has reached this level, everyone just does bh cs wq and mq and then goes into catshop for the rest of the day. oh well

    i myself have done every quest that has come up on both my haracters, proud of it infact

    I'm gonna keep on questing. Though the traveling was getting a bit too much on foot so I bought myself a mount.

    Then I'm going to go beyond and grind the old fashion way.

    Tell you what else I like about it besides the money you make from it.

    I like that it kind of makes you fight *every* enemy in said area. There has not been a monster I have not fought up to lvl25 yet. I'm one of those people that wants to test out all the monsters. So what they can do, and what annoyances they have(that being said, any mob that pops with increased magic resistance can suck my foot man).

    I'm on that lvl20-29 cult quest, the really super dupe long one that I'm going to reserve my time off from work for lol.

    Considering where I've come from, where they were hardly any quests, or quest/missions that you could never do on your own, I'm quite satisfied with this questing system. It gives me something to do.

    and I dont wont to hear "oh you say that now, wait til you get to lvl9x". I love proving that statement wrong. Different strokes for different folks.

    I do because I hate having to find parties for BH, especially when I suck as a veno.
    There once a time when I cared about getting to the top quickly as possible to help others. Now, I take it slow, and don't worry about having nothing to do. There's always something to do in an MMORPG, especially if you are high level. PK'ing is for those who desire to inflate their egos. True friendship comes from helping one-another, rather than to start rivalries.

    It takes 315300 Mysterious Chips to make one warsoul weapon, if you have a 100% success rate.

    You dont make "so much" rep by doing quests. I had about 6k rep at lvl 90 and i had done pretty much every single quest in the log + running several Fbs.

    Only reason to even bother about rep now is if you're going for Rank6 - Sages weapon or actually wanna get 200k rep and Rank8. Its a pretty limited group of players who does that and rep from quests will hardly make a difference on the end price. The rank ring is also not useful anymore compared to the free Attendance ring. Barbs and Bms cant even benefit from rank gear in the first place.

    I guess people that are going for 35k rep and Rank 6 will get away a couple of millions cheaper if they quested all the way to lvl 90+. How ever questing will make them level slower, which means it will take longer for them to get access to faster ways of gaining rep and coins.

    Because the point is, there are far more effective ways to get rep than questing once you get higher lvl. At lvl 100 you get 66 rep everyday from BH2 for example. Or just farm HH for cash and buy rep items. At lvl 100 you can make around 1 mil per hour from Nirvana profit runs. Those money will give you so much more rep than any quests. Or doing PQ 95+, it gives you 70-100 rep each time.

    Thats kinda the main problem with quests, the reward from them is no longer proportional to the effort. Should really only do quests if its something you enjoy - because in terms of rep/coins/exp its a waste of time. Just grinding specific mobs that drops loads of mats and DQs is more rewarding than quests.

    But a lot of people really like questing tho, and specially if its their first char and they wanna explore the map and meet new people etc. So for them its a nice way of getting to know the game and play their class to.

    One of the reasons I do quests is because mindlessly grinding without a goal in mind drives me nuts. With quests I can grind, with a goal.b:pleased

    To Reshanta: Finally one that understands fully how I roll. Though it becomes a bit discouraging to go with the bare minimum at some time, and thus I left my main characters alone for a while. But there is this sense of pride for hard work that cannot be replaced.
