Decrease some Cryptid Quest requirements

Just added it up, and I've spent 2190 SC in skipping quests I find too time consuming/too specific/unable to do, that I've spent over the course of 6 days (and trying to get all 24 quests done for a day). Let's say I spend an average of 1900 SC in 5 days for skipping quests, that's 11,400 SC for the month in SKIPPING quests. That's SC that most players DO NOT HAVE. And this doesn't factor in the amount of SC in valuable goods that are forked over to these cryptids to complete the quests. I'll most likely give up on doing quests at some point, since it's so expensive to do, which sucks because everyone should feel excited and be able to participate in every part of an event.

I'm surprised the quest system hasn't been updated yet, tbh.

Mustang & Remmie ~

I agree. I haven't added everything up, but thought yesterday that it would be cheaper all around if I just wait til players with bottomless pockets collect all of the event items & put them up for Trade.
Beyond that depressing thought, I hate seeing that just a week in it's already demoralizing new players who were excited for their first big Event.

I admit, I've started to feel like part of the quest design of this event is meant to decrease stockpiled items. However, while that in on itself is not a bad idea wholly, it's hurting people who have not been playing long enough to have stockpiles of hundreds and thousands of items.

The maths start adding up to "oh yikes" numbers.

I had 400 leaves at the start of the event.

I'm down to 0 now.

It's takes a whole day of exploring to get 10 leaves lol

Now I have to fork 30 SC every time the event wants more leaves

because they already sucked me dry of my leaves... 5 days into a 30 day event. I came prepared and I'm still punished.

Yes, exactly. I haven't skipped very many quests, but I have depleted my GC stash buying Gaurana to track down suddenly absent cryptids. Those are the worst money sinkholes.

The biggest issue I'm running into is that the slay requests seem to reset on rollover. Yesterday, I needed to defeat two krakens, and defeated one. I rolled this morning, used my whole energy bar to find another kraken and defeated it, went to turn in the quest and now need another kraken because I'm at 1/2 again. Why do these reset on rollover? No other quests do as far as I am aware.

I don't love forking over 6 nesting materials at a time, or a ton of leaves or stuff but that's less irritating than finally getting and beating the needed encounters only to have to start over again.

oof, i didn't know about that one. Seems to me the entire quest system needs revamp.

Yikes.

I wish they would tell us if they plan to fix these issues instead of leaving us in the dark about it.

I believe the progress reset on RO is a bug that should be reported instead.

@Dżanek oh really? Let me try reporting it and I'll see what happens. I'll update on what they tell me.
