Quest-A-Thon!
The Quest-A-Thon has officially started! You have until 11:59pm on August 27th to complete 1,000,000 quests.
During this time, you will need to complete quests from the following quest givers to have them count: Carl, Cinthia, Mori or Nori, Alexander, Maleria, Pete, Quentin, Saggitarius, Sarah, and The Wizard. Just a reminder that regular users can complete 10 quests per quest giver and Gold Account users can complete 15 quests.
Sarah's quests now have a limit of 1,500,000 sP (and new users who signed up less than six months ago can do her quests regardless of sP!). Saggitarius requires you to have at least 1,500,000 sP to do his quests. Before this, the requirements for each quest didn't meet and were a bit on the lower end.
Just a reminder that if the goal is completed, everyone that has participated will receive 1 new pet slot, the forum title "Sir Quest A Lot", 5 Raffle Tickets, and 1 Referral point.
Good luck everyone!

@Bug Makes a bit more sense, now. So sorry for the tone of my first post, I just hadn't looked at the other thread. I'll be going back under my rock...
@MamaBear I'm not sure what more clarification is needed. The forum group exploit is not allowed. Asking friends to hold your sP is allowed.
To be honest, it's not my area so I can't tell you the official reasoning behind it, only what I know of it. That said: From what I understand, the forum group exploit was never intended or foreseen, so using it is really like exploiting a flaw in the code. It's not something that was supposed to be possible, so we ask that you not do it. Having other users hold your sP isn't "technically the same exploit" - We generally don't consider asking friends for help to be an "exploit". (Totally unrelated to quests, but another example would be how multiple accounts is not allowed, but other users holding pets for you is allowed.)

@MamaBear there was never an official news announcement but staff has said that forum group banks are currently not allowed period, so no one should be using that method right now (i asked if groups could use them when bug pinged me here Topic: Quest-A-Thon 2017 - WE DID IT ?, but we need to wait for amber's decision on that one. when a decision is made on that, a news post would probably be better than pings in some rando's discussion thread); trades between users are ok probably because it encourages cooperation / increases engagement, etc
Ugh. I mistype links. [url="https://subeta.net/forums.php/read/875726/Does-Sarah-count-the-sP-in-your-shop-till/1/#60755180Source here.[/url"]
@Bug
So, wait... we were told that
All that aside, good luck, everyone! We can still totally do this! <3

I'm getting vibes of inconsistency, and think a bit more clarification is urged here to avoid several stories circulating, mass freezings and "told ya sos." Meanwhile I, for one, will be side-stepping Sarah completely.Using a forumgroup to get around the sP limit is not how it is supposed to work, and we ask that users kindly not use such an exploit/loophole to get around Sarah's limitations. It's something we'll be working on fixing.
All that aside, good luck, everyone! We can still totally do this! <3
Let's go!
You know what would be interesting? Adding battle quests to the mix. Of course, not with the expectation that everyone can do 30, but a T2 pet should be able to complete at least 5, and more seasoned battlers can pick up the slack for those who can't manage even that. After all, training and battling in general is a nice sp sink so it would be nice to encourage new people to take it up ^^

Done with today's already! Sad I can't do Sarah's even after the update, but I'll be pushing my fiance to do ALL of his... he just signed up this past month, haha.
@Lukota @odduckOasis No, it's the same as in previous quest-a-thons where any participation qualifies you (even if it's only one quest).
I realize it says what the requirements are for each of the quests of Sarah and Sagg... so my question is if you don't qualify for one (like Sarah) than you don't have to do that one to qualify for a prize at the end, cuz... I'm not ditching all my sP just to do a quest lol. (And last I checked you can't just put it into your bank to hide it). lol.
Sorry... I'm tired. xD;
Sorry... I'm tired. xD;
One question then... are you requiring that all the quests listed there be done in order to qualify for the prizes at the end? Because I will not be able to do Sarah's if I /have/ to have less than 1.5 mil in order to them.... and if I have to do hers in order to complete all the quests to qualify, aren't you excluding a rather large number of player from being able to get prizes because they have too /much/ sP? I don't understand that... that doesn't seem fair at all. Or are Sarah and Sagg more... optional (for those too poor to do Sagg and those too rich to do Sarah) to qualify for the prizes?
It doesn't say in this post very clearly how you qualify for the prizes as it has in the past (doing only one qualified you for all prizes)- so I'm assuming you are saying you have to do at least one full rotation of ALL quests listed? Um.... if not- then, what are the minimum qualifications and do Sarah and Sagg not count for said qualifications for reasons listed above?
PHEW... hope that made sense. D8

Are you saying we have to do one of each from every question giver including Sarah? Or we just have to do quests for one to count as participating? The sentence confuses me... I just wanna be clear. This is probably a stupid question...
Is there anyway we can get a bar (separate from the one we have now) that show's how many quests each of us has done individually?
9 quests done 33 min. thanks, bye.
Still have nevr been able to do Sarah/Amy. Even 10 years ago I wasnt able to

Oh...hm...well i guess i'm not doing Sarah's quests. xD We got this tho, it's alright~ 1080 quests from me!
oh good i was worried keith's original idea of "limit sarah's quests only to accounts younger than 30 days" was going to happen and then, well...
I should add, I'm a member for: "Member For: 5 months, 1 day" and have more than 36 million sp... I should be able to do Sarah's quest now, right? but I can't... because of this error.
Sarah quest error:
