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!

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.

Quest
The Shady Shopkeep September 2022
September
2022
Interactive
Reward
200 Tokens per member, and any monster parts you roll.
The three who get the highest rarity parts get an extra 100 tokens. (Limit 1 win per member)
Description
Small, ornate purple and burgundy flyers have been seen posted about the villages... on the buildings in Rudania, the columns in Inariko, and the trees of Vhintl. They appeared overnight, with not even the keenest of eyes having discerned their architect.
They depict a stylized rendition of a strange individual wearing a mask and eccentric clothing of a monstrous nature, and dates paired with the village emblems. Those who have dealt with a certain dealer of monster parts would likely recognize the depicted figure, though their coming had never been 'advertised' like this on past appearances.
What the locals who remember do know.. is that no one knows what they really look like, and they always have a portable 'booth' with them. That, and their wares are exotic and disturbing, consisting almost entirely of monster parts...
Across varying weekends, any corresponding village residents 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.
Many monster parts may be gained in this quest, including some which aren't available by other means yet. At the end of the event, the three individuals who managed to talk the visitor out of the most impressive and rare monster parts will get an extra reward.
