Events & Quests

Events and Quests are active mechanics for roots of the wild. Participating in these functions are one of the main ways to earn character slots. In addition members can gain armor, weapons, tokens, and special items through these.

Did you know members can host their own quests and events? Click here to learn more.

Events

Events are large, inescapable occurrences within Roots of the Wild that affect all characters, whether they like it or not! Events will very often cause changes to mechanics, like the weather, daily rolls, and the abilities of some classes to perform their class skill. Any changes of this magnitude do not go unnoticed, so do not worry, you'll be given warning! While the event is occurring, new temporary mechanics may come in to play, so be ready for some new experiences! Of course, such events are often great fodder for some art or role play scenarios too, so take full advantage while you can! As is the nature of events in life, in roots, these are temporary, so either enjoy the ride, or gather your provisions and camp it out, and either way it will be over before you know it!

How Events Work

Due to the nature of events, each one will have its own custom set of rules and details. As a blanket statement, most quest rules also apply to event rules in some way. 

Similar to Quests, there are different types of events that will be held; be it art or interactive.

All rules and information surrounding an event will be clarified at the time of said event. 

Quests

In Roots of the Wild, quests are smaller, optional, fun timed tasks anyone can partake in for a nifty reward! Quests take one of three forms: art/ writing, interactive, and role play. Art/ writing quests take the form of a prompt that you will be expected to work with, offering a reward for a submission of suitable effort which would be detailed in the quests description, and yes, collabs are often allowed! Interactive quests are usually additional rolls done in one of our community servers, you will often be given a command to input unique to the quest, and will be able to follow along the commands as they come to you!

 

Rewards for these tend to take the form of what ever you get from your directed rolls, with additional prizes often tied to someone finding particular hidden things! Finally, role play quests are larger group role plays, often with Mod direction or at least a mod opening prompt. Rewards are given for adequate participation, but those who go above and beyond will also be given their due! While these are the three usual types, on occasion special quests may happen that take entirely new formats, so expect those to be explained in greater detail when they come!

 

Quests will always have a time limit and will give an explicit date and time for both the start and end of the quest.

How Quests Work

Every other month, when quests occur, they will be posted in the 🔑》quests-board channel, as well as a blog post here on the site!

Types of Quests

  • Art 

    • Requires members to create an illustration based on of the quest specifications 

  • Writing 

    • requires members to write a piece based on the quest specifications.

  • Interactive 

    • These are mod run events that require some sort of interaction (be it rolling or some other method) 

  • RP 

    • Requires members to rp based on the topic of the quest within the rp channels of the server. 

Quest Rules

  • As of 8/1/2023 - Members are only allowed to sign up for ONE of the member capped quests. (If there are 3 quests that have a member cap, the member can only sign up for one of the 3). If the quest does not fill up within a week of being open - those who have already signed up for other quests will then be able to sign up for other member capped quests. 

  • Art, Writing, and Interactive quests have no deadline for signups as long as they are still running. 

  • RP Quests have a signup window of one week after the date the quest is posted.

  • RP Quests have a 15-20 minimum post amount to qualify for the rewards of said RP Quest. The total will be specified per quest. 

  • RP quests also have a 2 paragraph maximum. Do not post more than 2 paragraphs in your posts.

  • You may join rp quests with multiple oc as long as you have the time to keep up with multiples in posting order unless stated otherwise. However you may only roll for special rewards from the first quest you join to make sure everyone has a fair chance to win.

  • Event and Quest RPs which have a preexisting set reward, whether or not it includes tokens, cannot be submitted for additional token rewards.

  • RP quests are meant to be mainly member-driven, so mods will typically not be directing, but if you are stuck and need a nudge to move things along, use the @TaleWeaver tag

Quest Vouchers

Sometimes quests get posted and members are unable to sign up for the member capped ones before they fill up. In order to make things a bit more fair for those who miss sign ups, the mod team has come up with a Quest Voucher System. 

How it works: If a member was unable to participate in 2 consecutive member capped quests, and have previously signed up for them; they are eligible for a Quest Voucher. To claim this voucher they must DM the Admin Account and mark somewhere in a tracker. 

What the voucher does, is guarantees the holder a spot in the next round of member capped quests. The voucher holder has 1 week (or less if the quest calls for it, the mod team will clarify at the time of the quest) to sign up before that spot is open to the rest of the group. 

The Archive

Below we have listed all previous events and quests. Included are the rewards, details, and participants!

If you participated in an Event or Quest and do not see your name on the list please let the mod team know!

Forgotten Depths 2020

RP

Reward

300 tokens for residents of Vhintl, and 200 to visitors from other villages

Description

Some old ruins long covered by the dense undergrowth have been discovered recently, rather unfortunately by a scout falling through a weakening structure they had thought was just another bit of land out in the forest.

This led to the discovery of a vast underground cave system winding deep under the forests of Vhintl... what could this be, and exactly how old is it? What are all of these strange carvings?

...And who's brave (or foolish) enough to go out and explore these depths?

RP goals will be considered reached after exploring at least a good portion of the cave system!

Quest

A Faetastic Rumor 2020

September

2020

RP

Reward

300 Tokens for residents of Rudania, and 200 to visitors from other villages

Description

There have been whispers of a fairy living in the hot springs at the base of Death Mountain. People say they sometimes see a shadowy figure in the steam that escapes the springs. No one has actually seen this fairy, or whether it's actually a fairy at all.

Maybe an investigation is in order? Whether it is a fairy or something else, it would be a good idea to at least see if the rumors are true. Besides, who can turn down a chance to take a dip in the springs?

RP goals will be considered reached after spending some time at the hot springs and making a good effort to find the source of these rumors, whether or not you're successful!

200 Tokens for each person who participates, and any monster part a member rolls is added to their inventory.
The three individuals who obtain the highest rarity parts get an extra 100 tokens. (Limit 1 win per member)

A strange individual has been spotted on the outskirts of the village for the past few nights. They wear a mask and eccentric clothing of a monstrous nature so no one knows what they really look like, and they always have a portable 'booth' with them.

Their wares are exotic and disturbing, consisting almost entirely of monster parts.

On the weekend of October 16th (Fri) through the 18th (Sun), any Vhintl resident can roll once per day (or night, in Hyrule time) to barter with the strange visitor, the success of which will be determined by the value of the roll.
