Non-Combat Activities That Can Be Done Repetitively & That Offer Rewards

From Shroud of the Avatar Wiki - SotA
Jump to navigation Jump to search

There are 3 main types of non-combat activities that you can do over-and-over to obtain rewards of gold, Adventure Experience points, and Producer Experience points (and sometimes Artifacts and/or other useful or rare items).

  • Daily Quests - these are mini-quests that can be done every 24 hours.
  • Daily Tasks - these are essentially the same Daily Quests in that they can be done every 24 hours, but they are not really quests per se.
  • Repeatable Quests - these are quests that can be performed as many times per day as you want (i.e. there is no "cool down" before you can repeat the quest).

The daily quests and daily tasks are reset at 6:00pm CST (7:00PM CDT in Daylight Savings Time).

All of the activities listed above are completely optional.

Performing these activities on a routine basis is an easy way to gain gold, experience points, Artifacts, and other useful items.

General Information[edit]

Once you have obtained a quest, you usually do not need to speak to the quest-giver each time before you do the quest in the future. For example, if you have already received the "Get Tea Leaves" quest from Esmeralda in Highvale Outskirts, then you can go directly to get the Tea leaves (without talking to Esmeralda first) and then give the leaves to Esmeralda.

Also, most quests that award experience points will also award gold. However, there are a few activities that award only experience points or award only gold (and when this is the case, I have tried to specify it in the tables below).

Info on the Tables Below[edit]

Most of the listings in these tables are click-able links to the relevant wiki pages.

XP REWARD - This column refers to the amount of experience points (XP) awarded during standard XP rates (XP reward will be twice as much during double XP periods). Also, the amount shown is added to your Adventure Experience pool and to your Producer Experience pool. Unless specified otherwise, a gold reward is given with the XP reward.

DIFFICULTY - The difficulty category in the tables below is a subjective opinion on whether a solo player could accomplish the activity without getting killed. Sometimes a quest may occur inside a high tier zone, but the quest can be easily accomplished because the avatar can avoid hostile creatures. Also, a quest can occur in a low tier zone, but the quest causes you to encounter the few high level creatures in the zone (Note that the zone's difficulty tier is an average of all the creatures inside. So, low level zones can contain high level creatures, and vise versa).

Each day, you can turn in 20 fragments to Rodney Czervik and 20 fragments to Professor Thaddaeus Smalls (so you can get 2 rewards each day from turning in fragments, i.e. 2 x 61,236 XP). These quest may effect your avatar's virtue (although this has not been confirmed). It seems that giving 20 fragments to Rodney Czervik may have a positive impact on your avatar's virtue, while giving 20 fragments to Professor Thaddaeus Smalls may have a negative impact on your avatar's virtue.
