  • An objective look at Circuit Quests

    There's been a lot of hate in game and on the forums directed at the new CQ's mainly due to the seemingly overly high chance of Atoll missions, so I decided to start a log of what missions I get each time.
    Tonight in the time I allotted for it, I completed 39 and picked up a 40th. Here's the 40 CQ breakdown. Over the rest of this week and the next couple I'll keep updating the total until we've got a nice 500 mission sample size in order to give everyone a true and objective look at % chance for each mission type:

    ATOLL:
    L1 - 5
    L2 - 0
    L3 - 3
    L4 - 3

    11 Atoll quests out of 40 so far. Just over 25%.

    Recruit troops: 7
    Multiplayer dungeon monster mash: 3
    Solo dungeon monster mash: 3
    QTE: 3
    Astral Master: 3
    Enchant gear: 2
    Collect Flowers: 2 (both times I was sent to Atoll L4)
    Deliver messages: 4
    Whack a Mouse: 1
    Waste Several Days Worth Of Your Hard Earned Insignias/Crypt Tokens: 1 (thankfully I still have a few Imperial Seals for these idiotic missions)

      Well, adding 31 more today. Meant to stop at 30, but picked up another CQ anyway.

      Atoll:
      L1: 1 for a 2 day combined: 6
      L2: 1
      L3: 2 for a 2 day combined: 5
      L4: 5 for a 2 day combined: 8

      9 more atoll quests out of 31 for 29%
      20 out of 71. The chance of getting an atoll quest has risen from the first day's 27.5% up to 28.16% today

      Recruit Troops: 7
      Multiplayer dungeon monster mash: 0
      Solo dungeon monster mash: 2
      QTE: 2
      Astral Master: 1
      Enchant gear: 1
      Collect Flowers: 3 Today, all 3 were to the roses in sylph city, collecting 1 at a time. I'd rather have gone to Atoll L4
      Deliver messages: 1
      Whack a Mouse: 1
      Waste Insignias/Crypt Tokens: 0

      Added 2 more categories that were missing from yesterday:
      Socket Gems: 3

      Recruit: 19.72
      MPD kill: 4.22
      Solo kill: 7.04
      QTE: 7.04

        I'm sure atoll will be somewhere in the 30 - 40+ % range and next highest will be recruit as both week that I did 200 had the bulk being both quests followed by monster killings...

                    So... any other ways to get those Imperial Seals?
                    Or is Circuit Quest going to be Casher Only feature?



                    Or are we forced to spend Crypt on ****? ... you don't even get to keep what you brought.

                      Glad that I've been level 80 with leg 70 full set for a long time...20+k crypt tokens taking up too much space so occasionally having an excuse to spend it on quest is good for me =P

                        Added all the #'s up just to check I was still on track and only found 159. After looking through my notes, I found a QTE that I somehow missed posting in here from day 3, so have to amend the #'s as below:

                          The Crypt Token mission I had today was a bit different...instead of asking for some really high priced thing which would have prompted an immediate NOPE!! it only asked for a 30 token crit scroll.
                          I didn't mind spending just 30 tokens and saving one of the few Imperials I have left.

                          Had a new variation on the Crypt token/Insignia mission as well, where it asked me to fetch an item from the guild store...a level 1 power potion that only cost 3 contrib. Did the devs get a clue and give us a small behind the scenes update for this potentially CQ breaking mission? Been a lot of players that I know of refuse to do any more CQ's after they ran out of Imperials because they won't waste balens just to skip a quest.

                              So... any other ways to get those Imperial Seals?
                              Or is Circuit Quest going to be Casher Only feature?



                              Or are we forced to spend Crypt on ****? ... you don't even get to keep what you brought.

                              I really do not want to play circuit quests. What ever you think about it I do not see any sense in it.
                              How many times should I go to L1, L2, L3, L4 or spend tokens for something that I do not need. Why to buy something we do not need? Any rational reason?
