Quest-A-Thon: COMING SOON to a quest near you

Denim Wizard Beanbag
Pirate Cinthia Plushie
Autumn Sarah Plushie
Are you ready for a Quest-A-Thon? Y’all have asked for it over the past two years and it’s finally here. Well, almost.

Starting at 12:00am on Monday August 24 you will have until 11:59pm on Friday September 4 to complete 1,000,000 quests as a team!

Like always, the completing quests from the following quest givers will count towards the goal: Blue Building, Carl, Cinthia, Mori and Nori, Alexander, Maleria, Pete, Quentin, Saggitarius, Sarah, and The Wizard.

Don’t forget that regular users can complete 10 quests per quest giver and gold account users can complete 15 quests per quest giver a day. The only quest this does not apply to is Blue Building quests, which are 5 a day for everyone.

String of Prize Tickets
Now let’s discuss prizes! If the goal is met, participants will get the following prizes:

  • 1 Pet Slot

  • *Sparkles* forum title

  • A special new Avatar Border! What are avatar borders? They are a new feature that adds something special to your avatar headshot. Future borders will be given out in all sorts of ways, so keep an eye out! As far as the quest-a-thon goes, any participant will get the Blue Sun Sparkle border. If you place in the top 100 participants, you’ll get the Gold Sun Sparkle border as well! (We expect a lot of ties, so more than 100 people might end up getting the gold Sparkle border)

    This sounds really fun... though I think I've already lost a lot of "rank"! While I can do all quests except Sarah, I've missed the first three days (due to inability to get online and lag). I guess all I can do is just keep doing them and see how far I can get!

    Good luck to everyone! I hope I at least am able to get the hoodie thing! I've been wanting one since it's first appearance!!

    @Roadkill
    How is this pay to win? You know you can buy a GA account for just sP, right? Hell, if you do your quests somewhat regularly, you'll get plenty of morty cards to buy a GA with CSC. I have like 10k CSC lying around from questing and a GA that expires in April...
    Julie
    Let the questing begin. Good luck everyone!!

    Can we get a counter somewhere to see our progress v

    @Amber
    Can we get a bar to see quest progress?

    woo pay to win questathon, never thought I'd see the day lol :)

    (since you won't be able to place without a gold account)

    Oh jesus. I love Quest-a-thons and I've been looking forward to this since I saw it mentioned somehwere on the forums, but theres an event on FR and Dappervolk right now too, and I've got a ton of work on top of that. Why do these things always have to all happen at the same time OTL
    Faizh
    Guys guys... if you don't have Carl or BB just work for that, next year we will have another QAT. Like... at tome point you have to do something on the site to own special items and to participate in the cool things.
    Saturnine
    What is giving people the impression that we'll be on teams for this.

    @TeaTales
    There aren't any teams for this event, it's everyone on site working together to meet the goal :3
    Separatist
    Im happy with a Quest-A-Thon tho ;)
    Just dont think they should add quests with restrictions.

    To keep special reward salt out xD Lets go and lets get past that million!

    Has it really been that long!? It doesnt feel like that long!
    TeaTales
    But... how are teams created? Is it going by guilds you're in or how?
    Separatist
    Cant do Sarah, cant do blue building.
    Whats the point of a top 100 if its not even fair or balanced under the players.
    Then yes add battle quests too.
    METROID
    @Sopheroo
    Because a gelatin war is designed specifically for battlers. The quest-a-thon is for questing. BQs are a type of quest. Therefore, should be part of the event. Not sure what you're trying to point out exactly by being snarky in return.
    Marianne
    @Keith What if some kind of disaster happens while we transfer our funds to do our Sarah quests and said funds disappear into the ether - will you help us get our funds back? Alternatively, wouldn't it be easier to make Sarah available to all during this quest period, so nobody gets hurt?
    Keith STAFF
    You can use any tools on the site available at your disposal :P That does not mean that we won't fix things like that down the road, but you won't be in trouble :)

    I don't know why BQs aren't included. That's an entire sub-section of users you're missing out on. I don't do quests, they're boring. But I'll do BQs because that's where I benefit from.
    Dunno, why do Gelly wars have no non-battle aspects? I mean, it's unfair to people who don't care about battling, it's also a sub-section of users that Subeta is missing out on.

    I'm so excited!

    I hope we do not get one of the 2 hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico! If we lose power I will not be able to quest much this week. They do not know where TS Laura is going to hit!
    Luck
    Can someone on staff please clarify whether or not we can use forum groups to store sP for Sarah quests again, before the quest-a-thon actuall starts since there's been radio silence for more than 24 hours for some reason

    funny the other day I was thinking to myself "wonder when the next Quest-A-Thon is ... I swear one of them is usually around this time of year ..." LO AND BEHOLD !!

    Can't wait for this! HOWEVER: Please remove Sarah's sP restrictions during a Quest-a-Thon!!
    Mayumi
    I don't understand why opting out something you could only benefit from. I also don't care about the prizes, I don't use the forums and I have more pet slots than pets; but I do those quests anyway and I like to see the site active!
    LikeTwoPancakes
    Someday I'll get that blue building password.. Thank you for doing this again!
    Moonsyne
    So .... I can't place in the top 100 without having a gold membership. Yay?
    Nebet
    I've been waiting for one of these, yay. I'm just going to do all the quests I'm actually able to do and not worry about the ones I can't; not too concerned about being in the top 100. I'm in it for that sweet pet slot.
    LadyTamarwen
    OMG. Subeta... It sparkles with newness! :heart:

    Yes... I desperately want a
    Fashion Hoodie
    ! (I joined after the last quest a thon)
    jensen
    @Amber
    when you have time, i'd love to know if "legal" work-arounds for sarah includes using a forum bank to hold your funds :0
    (& maybe the
    Fashion Hoodie
    could come back with an alt reward for anyone who has it already? i've seen a few people asking for how to get it, and it's been two years so it'd be nice if it was available again)

    @Allegria
    opting out comes up every time there's a quest-a-thon, i think? there's always a few people who don't want to participate, which is valid, but idk how easy it'd be to exclude them p: gelly war doesn't really work as a comparison since battling isn't a daily activity for everyone.
    Allegria
    For those who are concerned about the quest givers that don't give out good enough rewards, without ever skipping a quest during these, I've never come out of a quest-a-thon without a lot of profit and that's not even including it being one of the few times a year I stock my shop and autoprice instead of fragmentizing. Something's gone very wrong if you lose sP doing this.
    Allegria
    Whoo hoo! I haven't been active much on the site this year but I'm really excited for this!

    Maybe I missed it before, but this is the first time I've seen people asking to be able to opt out of having their quests contribute to the total. As others have pointed out, you literally don't have to use anything you win. Are we going to see people asking for this in the next slime war too?
    Jai
    I have to be honest and say that moving all of my SPs into a forum account just to play Sarah's quests makes me a little nervous. It would be my luck that something would glitch and I'd be out all of my SPs. I hope there's a different option available.

    Regardless, I'm here for quests! It will be fun. :)
    Aries
    @sirius now that makes more sense.
    Isilven
    @Ziorac I don't trust the Staff on that until they unfreeze the accounts of people who were already using these tricks to avoid Sarah's quest limitations, in full bluntness.
    Demeter
    Oooh, yay! I love these! And could definitely use this distraction right now :)

    We’ve discussed it as staff and we’re not penalizing people for working a way to do Sarah’s quests. That was something that wasn’t communicated greatly in the pass to the staff (which was my bad), so it was confusing for users.
    If they say this and then still freeze people, that'd be really horrible...

    @Diana_Marie

    The prizes are named in the post, there is a title, and an avatar border - two if you're part of the top 100.

    No wearable this time
    Diana_Marie
    Are there any chances of any prizes besides pet slots?

    @Amber
    Are we allowed to use forum group banks for doing Sarah's Quests?
    Solsticesprite
    @dude The NPC Drunk Carl is in the Omen Islands. To access this part of the map you need to complete the Uncharted Land Map Piece 1-9 by turning them in at the game Treasure Maps in the game room. These pieces have gotten pricey if you buy them from other users, to about 2.7MsP total. You can get them free from Random Events. but this is a drawn out slow process and you won't get them all by the time the Quest A Thon is over.
    Isilven
    @Dude You have to complete the Uncharted Map to unlock Carl :)

    Also, guys, I would NOT AT ALL put your money in a forums group. None of the Staff SPECIFICALLY STATED that that specific workaround is okay, and people have had their accounts frozen for doing that exact thing (and please note that Staff has NOT gone through and un-frozen these accounts since now what was considered "cheating" is now okay).

    Also since I find it a particular kind of BS to ensure that blue users can't win without buying a Gold Account, I'll be doing a giveaway on the forums for some 1 week accounts. This should be a fun event for people WITH AN EQUAL CHANCE FOR ALL, not one where they're left out because they can't recruit safe friends to trust their SP with, or because they don't have the IRL funds to buy Gold with.

    We already had to have the "equality" conversation last Morostide with Staff because a good number of users were unable to "fully complete" the quest due to the disability-inaccessible puzzle full of flashing lights and we got a very poor response in return. If "you can't win this part of the Subeta game if you're not a perfectly abled adult with a paying job and spare funds to spend on Gold accounts" is going to become a theme around here...
    boy
    This sound like a great incentive for newbies like me, I'm scared to do some quests and lose sP.
    Also, how does one access "Carl"?
    Kenobi
    Yay! Super excited for this.

    And just to double check - the personal forum group to hold sP so we can do Sarah's Quest is a-okay?

    @Aries

    I am pretty sure @kandarhrin was talking about a buddy gold account they would give away to someone. (:
    Aries
    @Kandarhrin you are only allowed to have one account.
    Ziorac
    I have a question, since there's now going to be a ranking for who does how many quests, will this be public? As in, can we see how we are doing as compared to others? Cause I think that would be neat and it's going to be tracked anyway, so.... pretty please? ^^

    @Evy

    I don't think there is a limit, I've not encountered one. However, I don't know how the system will react to transferring lots of sP at a time; does it work like items? Because if it does, you might.... Lose sP during a transfer. I don't know if this is the case....
