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!

Sign Ups

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.

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

Quest

The Shady Shopkeep September 2022

October

2022

Interactive

Reward

200 Tokens per member, and any monster parts you roll.

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.

300 Tokens for each character who stays in until April 30th or longer. (+ Bonus...? )

Spring comes to Vhintl once more, and with it, a celebration of the Goddess Farore and the perseverance of all good living things across Hyrule! Falole Festival celebration is upon the forest in full force and all across the treetop village, colorful woven fabrics, vibrant feather decorations and painted leaves of varying shapes and sizes can be seen strewn about in decoration for the week. The village center is especially active late into the evenings with jubilant music both rito and korok in origin, folk dancing, and korok games like balloon popping! Furthermore, villagers of all ages can be seen dressed in all sorts of colorful outfits and masks! And of course, what would such a celebration be without market stalls serving local food and drink?

This year’s Festival Quest will be a member driven Roleplay in which participants can experience the charm and colors of the treehouse village as the locals throw a spring equinox party! A mod will set the scene and participants will go from there! Of course, participants who feel stuck or want to see things shaken up a bit can always tag @TaleWeaver for a bit of guidance!

Quest

Summer Bloom under the Moon 2023

June

2023

RP

Reward

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

Description

It's time to celebrate one of Rudania's annual festivals celebrating the beginning of Summer! The celebration goes all week long and of course into the darker hours of each night. As well, the town will be adorned with pennant banners and tapestries, hanging decorations and lanterns!

Come enjoy the sights and smells of the native blooming wildflowers and indulge in Rudania's salted and Goron-Spiced Meats, threaded on a skewer and grilled over charcoal, roasted glazed apples and spicy Ironshell Crab Ramen. Grab a glass of Cool Safflina chilled tea made from flowers imported from Inariko to help you stay cool out in the sun and excitement!

This year it is once again an exciting time, because roads are open once more and as before, others who have still yet to travel to Rudania can come and immerse themselves in its culture and vibrance! (Just be wary of that Special Goron-Spiced Curry if you've got a weak stomach or aren't accustomed to Hyrule's spices...)

Good thing Summer Blooms have always been rather tame....It'll stay that way this year...right?

As usual, participants who feel stuck or want to see things shaken up a bit can always tag @TaleWeaver for a bit of guidance!
