    Given that this is a tier 10 scene, why is one of the rewards a plain focus potion? Sure, it's "Bound" but it's still a plain focus that only restores ~74 focus.

    the reward is a different random set of stuff gathered from the village each time, which is i think the first time this mechanic has been used. given who's doing the gathering, i don't think it's ever likely to be something valuable, it's just flavor and the reward is the xp.

    Some of the bound potions should be removed. No one at a level to do this area will use these (?). I just deleted them.

    The bound recall scroll... that I will use.

    True. I guess it is a child that found it and the real reward is the exp.

    This is correct. She's a "scavenger" in her village and is sharing some of what she's scooped up.

    I'll take a look at the things she gives and probably swap some things out. Added as issue #67597

    Thanks for at least looking this over Sannio!

    I personally really like what you are doing here (as a quest reward). The *actual* reward is the very decent amount of xp (at least at double xp) and then some minor items that reflect what this little girl, in a very poor town might actually have on her. That's logical and consistent.

    very decent amount of xp...........

    Killing 2 spiders at the entrance of spindleskog (normal) nets you better xp and loot than completing all 3 tanglemire/spindleskog quests combined.

    How are these rewards in any way decent?



    It's episode 2 and there is opportunity to renew interest.

    They need to wake up and start making this stuff like they expect more than 10 people to be interested.


    I don't even know what the problem is

    Who cares if buddy rolls 100 alts and does this stuff every day.

    You can monitor the numbers and tone it down once you see the response.

    At least when people start doing these quests they'll be like "Wow this is pretty good" instead of "wtf is this?"

    Regarding the health and focus potions ... the main issue I have with them is that they are bound, which means that I can't "upgrade" them to greater potions using the "Potion of x, Greater from Potion of x" recipe.

    Now, as for the "killing 2 spiders at the entrance of spindleskog netting more exp and loot" ... the only risk on this quest is the massive crocodiles. While they are a bit challenging, the spindle spiders are (for me at least) considerably more challenging. The reward is (as it has to be) based on the risk and the nature of the quest.

    My issue is they are bounds so they mess up when I try to move all the new stuff from the inventory to my chest for consumables (because it is not private)... the bound items are making my life hard.

    I reworked the final reward items from the Missing Bones quest based primarily on the good feedback I got in this thread. When everyone gets a chance to play it with the new reward items, I encourage more great feedback. Thanks, everyone! :)

    Is it in the game?
    I got bound health potion again:p I do not mind the rusty axe and I actually like raw egg, and Garlic, but the bound items are somewhat annoying:p

    On QA, the rectangles that were supposed to be footprints...are now actual footprints and paw prints!
    The loot on QA still gives bound recall scrolls, but I did not get any bound potions.
