Introduction
The most common types of threads on Etheria are "Quests". Quests are a great way to develop your character. To begin, you may either select a quest that interest you by posting a claim in that thread OR you could refer to the template in this forum to begin. Once you are ready, click the Notify Staff button on the bottom left-hand side of your post to get a staff to approve your quest.
DMs do not hand out rewards based on post number but a combination of good writing, length, and creativity of the thread.

Story
Stories are RP threads with no defined objectives. Story threads are meant to develop your character on a more personal level instead of materialistically. You do not need to sign up for stories and may redeem rewards at any time.

Rewards

• Crown Medium quest rate
  
• Experience +10% more EXP than other types of threads
  
• Reward Point 30% more RP than other types of threads
  
• You may redeem reward at any time in the Miscellaneous Adventures forum under Adeventure Management.
  

Closed Quest
Quests are role-playing threads with clear and defined objectives. Closed quests are special in that they have a minimum amount of posts required for the completion of the thread. Before you start, you need to browse for a quest in this forum and sign up for it in the thread. Upon completion of a quest, please notify a GM through the notification feature. The GM in charge will reward your character with life experience, Lyra, and loots of all rarity. Although one may embark on a quest alone, it is advisable to venture on quests with others as it is a great way to interact with other characters.

Rewards

• Crown rewards scale with level.
  
• GMs have a special loot generator that will determine your reward according to the adjusted rate.
  
• What comes out of the generator depends purely on luck, please do not hate on the GMs.
  
• You will be rewarded for however much effort you put into your thread. Length, quality, and difficulty are all factors taken into consideration.
  
• Feel free to post more than the minimum, DM will reward you for extra posting.

Challenge Quests
Challenge quests are different in that they DO NOT have a minimum amount of posts for completion; they will end when the DM thinks the quest is completed. These quests tend to be twice as difficult as normal quests and will require full DM intervention. Considering the massive jump in difficulty, the rate of reward will be much more rewarding (common loots are eliminated from the loot table). All challenge quests REQUIRE gear-check, please come prepared. It is POSSIBLE to fail the challenge quest; failing the quest will give you minor loot reward per DM discretion. Medium challenge quests are entry level thus more forgivable in difficulty. Death is enabled in Challenge quests, please proceed at your own discretion.

Dungeons involve delving through small themed-settings. This type of role-playing threads is very difficult and may require creative strategy to complete puzzle challenges and battle epic encounters. As such, dungeons have very high reward rate. Dungeons are ran by dungeon masters (DM).
