Events & Quests

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

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.

Quest Rules

🔹 Member-Capped Quests

Some quests have a limited number of player slots. These are called member-capped quests.

✅ You may only sign up for ONE member-capped quest at a time.
❌ You cannot sign up for more than one capped quest at once, even if there are multiple available.
⏳ If a member-capped quest is still not full after 1 week, then members who are already in another capped quest may sign up for an additional one.

Example: If three quests are posted and each one has a cap of 5 people, you can only pick one of them to sign up for. A week later, if one of them still has empty slots, you’re allowed to sign up for it even if you're already in a different one.

🔹 Signup Deadlines by Quest Type

Art / Writing / Interactive Quests:
No signup deadline. You may join at any time while the quest is still active.
RP Quests:
You must sign up within 1 week of the quest being posted. After that, signups are closed.

🔹 RP Quest Participation Rules

🧍‍♂️ One OC Per Quest
You may only participate with one character per quest, unless the quest specifically says multiple are allowed.
You cannot switch OCs later. You cannot sign up twice with different characters. One quest = one OC.
📝 Post Count Requirement
Each RP Quest will list a minimum number of posts required (usually between 15–20) for your OC to receive rewards.
If you don’t meet the post minimum by the time the quest ends, you will not earn any rewards.
✍️ Post Length Limit
You may write up to 2 paragraphs per post.
Do not go over this. Shorter is okay, but longer is not.
🎲 Special Rewards Rule
If a quest has a special item or bonus that’s rolled for, you may only roll for special rewards in the first RP quest you joined.
This keeps things fair and prevents people from joining multiple quests just to get better odds.
🔹 No Double Dipping
If a quest or event already has a guaranteed reward, you cannot submit that quest content again for additional token rewards.
This applies to RP, writing, and art quests.
Example: If an event gives you 10 tokens automatically, you can’t also submit the same work through the /submit command for more tokens.

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.

Quest Vouchers guarantee 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.
