Quest Levels

Vellicon · #1 04-03-2021, 07:02 AM

I was looking at the P99 wiki for class quests and have a question. The minimum levels listed for quests, d you have to be that level to start them or can you start them at any level wit the minimum level being a recommended level? Thanks.

Link the page in question. Your query is so vague it's unanswerable

I was looking at the Ghoulbane quest and it shows a minimum level of 30. Is that the level required to start the quest or just a recommendation?

Very few quests have level requirements (3-4 out of 1000+ quests). Majority of quests only have a faction check. The wiki minimum level is more of a recommended level to complete the quest

Temp Flux page has a good example, it lists recommended levels for solo or in a group

Given this is not a quest for an epic item, it's doubtful it has any level requirement.

I strongly dislike this about the wiki. I brought it up with a couple wiki admins and they think it's fine.

My compromise would be to change the word Minimum to Recommended.
Then any things like epics could be properly tagged with minimum level requirements, as they already are....

I just looked into changing them, and ... it's not easy.

The problem is that most of the wiki uses templates ... but apparently the quests don't: each one has its own unique code. So that means each one needs to be fixed individually.

In theory they could all be converted to templates, and then it'd be easy to fix that one template, but again that would require a one-time fix to every quest in the wiki. So until someone (not me) wants to write the code to do that in an automated way ... the best you can do is edit the individual pages and change "Minimum" to "Recommended".

once you camp a ghoulbane I think you would agree level 30 is on the low end of requirement. you could get careless at 50 and get yourself killed in there. sword is no drop, or at least has been for a long while, originally it was tradeable, but that opened pandora's box so it was changed.

Anyone is welcome (and in fact encouraged) to click "Edit" at the top of the page and fix either the text ("Minimum" => "Recommended") or the actual level listed; the only requirement is that whatever change you make, it should make things more accurate. After all ...
