Default Dragon Fest Quest Request

There are four Dragon Festival quests that can be done once per year per character. They reward a total of 240 points.

Please make these quests repeatable next year. I know people who spent the entire weekend creating and deleting new toons so that they can repeat these quests, running these temporary characters on second accounts through them all for the victory tokens. This seems kind of like a waste of time and since allowing characters to do the quests once already isnt stopping people from repeating them, changing them to repeatable shouldnt be a big deal.

If that happened, it would be overfarmed. Make victory tokens customized next time.

The quests were not designed for people to make money on. Yes, many people do, but that doesn't mean that was the intent for them. Providing a character with 240 tokens when you only need 250 for a mask means you can do very little farming to acquire the remaining 10 for your mask. If you want more tokens for the collectors, that isn't what the quests provide them for, it is why monsters randomly drop the tokens.

If people want to go to te trouble of farming the crap out of those quests, the mechanism for doing so is already there.

If you have several chars, you won't need to remake any of them anyway.

Horrible idea. Victory and Lunar tokens are not customized so you can give them to friends who need them, sell extras and give them to other characters on your account who need a mask (if you get masks for each character). Plus its a way to make money for 9ring tickets.

The Festival Hat Maker NPC says hello. You only need to acquire one hat per account, and all characters on that account can get one for the meager price of 10g.

Those quests were put in so that everyone who wanted to could get the mask.Not for easy V Token farming. The quests handed out by Captain Rujiyo were repeatable within the 1/2 hour time frame and you could usually get 3 runs in for farming on each. Except the last one, I never could get it

I like it the way it is just run 2 chars on the quests and you have more than enough.
And yeah you only need 1 hat as MagmaRed said just show it to festival hat guy and then any char on that account
can get it for 10g.

So, you want to make tokens customized, so you can exchange your (thousands of) customized tokens for non-customized alcohol/sweets/fireworks and sell those instead?

My solution would be:

* Keep the current limitation of doing the quests 1x per character per festival.
* Add a minimum level requirement of Level 5 to start the quests.

Make the quests give 250 tokens in total instead. Do the quests = get the mask

I thought these quests should also have the level 5 requirement for doing them. Makes sense.
