I've just been running around Woomyon Woods for 1-2 hours, come across 3-4 Cannibal Plants and I've gotten 1 Cannibal Stem, and I need 10. I think it'd be a good idea for the GM's to increase the spawnrate + droprate of these items/mobs, or just replace it with an easier, less grindier quest. I'll add more info tomorrow, gtg for now.

I made it to 23 or something and still never completed them (yes there are 2 or 3 quests for the plants) & i killed every plant i saw, even searched for them for a few hours.

15 years on and every server still puts in these ****ed up mobs for quests.

I know, even the DeerMeat quest (one of the first you get) took me a good hour to do. I don't really understand why these quests exist in the game, it's not like they serve any purpose. It'd be a lot more interesting if they told us to go to a cave and kill a sub etc

The thing is, when I added these quests to the release version of Crystal they was intended for a Euro low rate with APOC being custom rate you out level them extremely quickly

so whats the point even having them in if they are **** ? just to get people confused to waste time and not get rewarded at all ?

That's down to the apoc team to decide whether they want them or not, the only thing I could think of is basically taking you away from normal hunting focusing on questing (kills time)

Not all of the quests are rubbish, some of them do give nice rewards (the enhanced 22 armour for instance)

Some of them are a royal pain though, I've spent almost three hours in WT hunting for Beef Ribs and have managed to get 1 so far! It seems as though the tick rates are a little too low.

As others have said due to this being a low rate server the EXP rewards don't really match this server.

So these are all default quests? Can't say I'd be surprised.

As far as quest retention, worthwhile quests have been few and far between through all servers. I guess because it actually takes effort to make a decent quest-line. Flat grinding is tedious, quests atleast allow for a motive to do it.
