repeatable exp quest

[GM-Ayu]

Don't blame iRO's incompetency in math, prediction, and foresight on the concept of repeatable exp quests.

Let's look at one iRO quests: sharp leaf quest

les (our mavka) drops it at 20% on iRO. Les gives 1521 exp on iRO (using 1x rate cause 1.25 is too annoying.) Exp per item for valk is 4,697.1. For simplicity, I will assume that 20% means you get one sharp leaf every 5 les, even though that's technically not proper statistic calculation. So that means, including the quest exp, each les is giving me 939.42 extra, boosting it to 2460.42 exp each. That is what... 38% exp increase?

When you got BAD QUESTS like that, why would you NOT bot on these monsters?

That's why, I said that I don't mind repeatable exp quests, but I DEFINITELY mind the iRO ones because they are horrible in design. Don't blame the concept for all the wrong that happened on iRO, but blame the bad numbers that the iRO GM team chose to use.



So I talked with GM-Pandora for some 'official' answer from the head herself. She said:

1) Definitely NO GO on iRO repeatable quests

2) Pandora: "I have thought of repeatable exp quest before in the form of 'TTT' quests, "Tuesday Through Thursday." Instead of just item collection, players may be asked to do 3 minor, similar tasks such as item collection + talking with NPC once eacy day on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. So it's not too much more complicated, but players have to do it within these 3 days and the progress doesn't carry over to next week (so you have to do it 3 days in a row or restart from beginning next week.) That way it's not super repeatable if you horde items like iRO, but you can do it pretty quickly once every week per character for some exp. It'll be like a small scale monster exterminator quest. That's not very high on the priority and this is only a rough sketch. We'll start working on it in 2020 give or take a few years/decades."
