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!

Now that the requirements for Sarah and Saggi have been updated, the FAQ needs to be updated too:
Now:
Now:

Update to:"
There are two other normal quest NPCs that work the same as above but have sP requirements. Sarah’s quests are meant for beginners and you cannot have over 500,000 sP to do her quests. This includes in your shop till. Saggitarius on the other hand, requires that you at least have 750,000 sP on you to do his quests. If you go above Sarah’s amount or fall below Saggitarius’s amount, you will not be allowed to finish any quest you started.

It's over. I don't think that we will get it this time. Four days to go and still like 600k quests to do :( Bye Bye pet slot ?

@Bliss no it really doesn't. 92k behind. School starting plus a boss battle doesn't really help. It would be nice if battle and major drill quests counted. And they made them all weekend quests. That is the only way I see us meeting the goal.

we will never reach... to much we need, many users in holiday, kids have 6 weeks free from school, so they are in holidays too... is to much to do for this time and is unfair that just 1 quest caunt to get the prize and the other users play like wild to get the goal... is not fair...

@Mackenzi Do you mean to get the participation prizes (if the goal is hit)? If so, you only need to do one quest. Literally just one from any person over the course of the week and it's counted as participating. Of course, it's appreciated if you're able to do more than that, but that's all that's required to participate!

To clarify, to qualify do we have to do one of each quest on the same day, or can it be spread out over the quest-a-thon?

Sunfire103
mass freezings... for using the forum banks to get Sarah Quests :o. They so better not do this and should clearly state in the news this is not allowed.
I never was even aware of this until the last day of the last quest-a-thon and didn't read this wasn't allowed (just kind of a grey area). I don't have anyone on here that I know/trust enough to hold my points. It just doesn't seem fair that we can't do all we can do just because of the Sarah Quest limitation, perhaps she shouldn't even be one of the quests involved to begin with. Guess you'd have to take out Sagg quests as well, but really if you do all the other quests you usually end up with 1.5M profit in a day or 2.

Without Sarah and Saggi, or a GA, there's 10 x 8 quest/day = 80/one user. If 100 users play per day (or even 50, or as low as 25), it can be done in no time. Did my part, waiting for tomorrow ;)

Do not worry! You don't have to do any quests for Sarah! She's just one of the Quests that -can- be completed for the Quest-A-Thon, as opposed to, say, Battle quests or Drills quests or what-have-you that does not count towards the total.They said there was going to be a change to Sarah's quest, I dont see any change. Im not moving all my points just to do hers. They make her quests part of the quest a thon and if we dont do hers we dont get the prizes. WHY???
As long as you complete at least one(1) quest for anyone from the list, you get the reward when we make it. :) (it's a lot better to do as many quests as you can, but you do not have to do Sarah. I don't like the idea of trading all my sP to another user just to do an extra 15 quests a day either.)
I hope that helps to alleviate your concerns. :D

I also support adding battle quests to the list in the future. They're not the standard quest, sure. But it could encourage people who have never tried them before. Before very recently (this year) I didn't do battle quests at all. But I've found out how beneficial they are to training my pet and now have done over 1700 of them. :) I'm sure the site likes to spotlight features that not everyone uses to increase activity.

I'm so excited about this Quest-A-Thon! Though I sadly can't do Sarah's Quest, I still have way too much, and I honestly don't want to have to trust someone with my Sp. It's too much and I'd be a nervous wreck. Why can't Sarah be open to everyone for the Quest-A-Thon? I mean it'll help those of us who want to do her quests but can't. I also liked the idea of adding the battle quests to the mix :). I mean sure in the past e were able to complete the Quest-A-Thons, but 1mil quests? During School week? And some people may just only do 1 quest and be like "Okay, I'm done." I think adding the battle quests and opening Sarah to the public for this ques-a-thon would greatly help :)!
Either way, I wish us all good luck ^.^! Let's try to make this happen!

Why can't they make Sarah's quests open for everyone temporarily for the quest-a-thon or allow us to move our money into our shop till?
I mean no offense but I don't trust random strangers with my sP and I'm pretty sure some people save up just to hold giveaways... It seems a bit unfair to raise the stakes but limit our capacity to meet the goal...

Didn't the site just have a quest-a-thon not that long ago?
I'll do what I can to help others earn a pet slot :heart:.
I don't need a pet slot myself since I have 20 pets already but I will do all I can to help out the quest-a-thon ^_^.
I agree there is something lagging the site down this afternoon and taking pages like the training school a long time to load.
It can take up to 5 minutes or longer to pick up all 20 of my pets after they all finish school training.
Over half my quests are done and only 30 more to go for today.
Have a good time and enjoy the quest-a-thon :).

Math Time! ....
So we are given 7 days to do 1 MILLION quests.
This means we need to complete ROUGHLY 143,000 quests A DAY to meet our goal.
It's been about 15 hours since the Quest-A-Thon started, and we're about 78,000 quests in... which means we need to do another 65,000 quests before midnight tonight to be on target.
Man, you guys. This one is going to be ROUGH.
But, I think we can do it if we all work together. :)
LET'S DO THIS!

@bonecrivain
Not anymore, that exploit has become officially against the rules. So you either need to spend all of your banked money and get below 1.5mil or just not do Sarah's quests.
Besides, unless you're saving up for something specific, what's the point of holding onto massive amounts of sP? I'm sure you (and others) have tons of wishlist things you can blow it on.

Y'all, you can make a private forum group, drop your extra sp into the bank, do Sarah quests while you're "poor," then take your money back out to do the others.

Do I trust my roommate to hold my sP? mmmmmm.... No?
Maybe a better/easy solution is to give Sarah a 'weekend holiday' mode available only during Quest-a-Thons where she gives a small or no sP reward?

So forum group bank isn't allowed? Alrighty then, I won't. I only used it during Quest-a-Thons anyway, but I guess I won't be doing Sarah's quests at all then. (Because sorry, but I'm a very distrusting person, I'm not giving my sP to someone else. And even if I did, I'd have to bother them every single day because of how much sP I make a day.)
But if we lose because of this.... Because we're not /allowed/ to give it our 100%, that's gonna suck... (I know you can give sP to friends, but how many people are realistically going to do this?)
I'd suggest allowing people with more than 1.5mil to do Sarah's quests (during Quest-a-thons), but her just taking your items and not giving you anything in return, except a quest complete. It'd count towards the Quest total and that's all I care about. But that's obviously not going to happen during this one, but maybe next time. Cause.... I /want/ to do my 100%, but... I have trust issues. :x

Sorry, I thought you knew what her previous rules were. Sarah doesn't count sP in your shop till but counts it everywhere else on your account, including in trade lots.
You can put temporarily the sP into a group bank or give it to a friend to do her quests. Just make sure you can get it back!

Bug
@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

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.

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 ^^

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.

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
