I was just wondering. what's the idea of doing quests if at most of them u dont get any skill points as reward ? arent skill points much more important ? is the quests system is for non-farmers only(i doubt if there is such)? i would like to hear your opinion.

I farmed most of my characters at the den at lvl 16-20, so to me, the quests help me lvl like a madman. If you are farming at higher lvls, then do them later. Most ppl are gonna powerfarm themselves now anyway, so I think JoyMax saw this coming and set them for exp and gold.

well, i'm farming for the most part of the game so i guess quests are not relevant for me, unless i want to reach the 9 gap faster which is the lvl i do most of the SP.

I don't really do quests unless I accidentally clicked on an npc and have it..I wish the quests had an actual story rather than the same old "kill 3950283059280 earth ghosts" or "collect 9595 bug eggs" and crap like that.

Quests are mainly what got me to 72 without a ticket. I don't think I would of reached this far without them. Do all your quests if you struggle leveling. The only quest left that I hate is "King of Digging" where you have collect 340 mole claws. Moles have by far the worst spawn rate ever so it takes forever to finish.

I believe the game is focused around Party leveling than quest leveling. That is why there are so few quests per lvl. I assume they are attempting to produce a sense of "team work" and all that good stuff that comes with partying with people over time.

I'll grab the quests b/c if I'm going to be grinding there anyway, might as well get the xp for the quest. It's like a bonus.

+1 ...and also for the ones like ...kill 1200 shakrams for instance... that kinda like gave me a goal so it made it not so boring for lvling..i mean dont get me wrong it was still hella boring but atleast i was like ooo i have killed 700 shakrams only 500 left.. so while im killing 1200 shakrams im gaining exp and sp so by the time im done with it depending on if your farming or 0 gap you have already gained some decent xp/sp and then you can go turn in the quest and get even more :D and when i did the nachal accessory quest.. i was just killing nachals and it dropped so that was a automatic 5% which is awesome and i got 50 special return scrolls.. so i was happy

quest xp is so low compared to the amount you need... i mean earlier on it can account for like 20% of a lvl but at higher lvls it's like 3% at most.

i just look at the amount of exp i get from quest and the 300bajillion exp i need to lvl and i feel sad inside.
