Are there any incentives to do quests after reaching level 20? - Guild Wars Forums

The Great Al · May 09, 2006, 12:40 AM // 00:40

I already have like 23 unused skill points, don't need any more from experience, and most of the quests in factions are repetitive and boring. go from point a to point b, to point c, back to point a. I also have no need for the like, 250 gold reward. Up until the luxon/kurzick split, there is no reason at all to do any quests really. Afterwards, i guess for every 1000 luxon/kurzick points you get, you can sell a piece of amber for 3k. Please, give us more reasons to do other quests.

To answer your question: Yes.

Wrath Of Dragons · May 09, 2006, 12:47 AM // 00:47

Incentives:
some grant access to new areas(im pretty sure)
bosses with useful drops/skills
small cash
imperial/monestary credits
item rewards(mostly tyria)
skills(mostly tyria)
skillponts for those with xtra plat
something to do while working on cartographer titles
lux/kurs faction

"imperial/monestary credits"

In GW:Factions, that's probably the most important reason. Experience, skill points and gold are nice, too.

In GW:Factions, the high-end areas' keys aren't available at merchants. The only way to get them is in exchange for coupons. Suddenly coupons become IOU's for high-end rares.

IIRC 3 Imperial Commendations gets you one Forbidden Key which is used in a FoW-like palace area. There are two other types of keys which, I think, are for the Kurzick/Luxon "elite" areas. Don't quote me on that though.

dont just do wht the quests tell you in objectives that makes it boring. Try to enjoy it and read what the NPC's tell you or ask you when they give the quest. Try to play prophecies again reading descriptions of everything, its like a whole new thing...

Textural · May 09, 2006, 02:40 AM // 02:40

To feel like a superhero, knowing you helped all of the Canthan people asking for help. =) As the person above me suggested, try reading some of the quest stories, some of them are funny/interesting.

For me, I like to just feel like I completed (or tried to) every aspect of the game, that isn't competitive...

Toxage · May 09, 2006, 02:54 AM // 02:54

I personally only do Primary Quests since most Secondary Quests are super long and boring. I think they should make it so your quest would take place in that one zone so you don't have to keep switching zones and re-fighting all the mobs.

yes like do something fun, earning the drunkard title is a good goal!

Also you can go for all 135 elite skills. Some may think thats hard to do but they make it a goal, if everyone could do it, it wouldnt be special. In tyria i created in-game goals for myself and it motivated me to work towards something and it made guild wars much more fun. Factions and updates has helped make goals for you by adding titles to do more and make the game fun for you. Enjoy the new stuff!

Amen. I don't mind switching zones, as long as I don't have to change to a zone I just fought through to complete a quest.

There is the "More Cowbell" quest. No more incentive needed.

Lepton CFd · May 09, 2006, 03:36 AM // 03:36

Yes, just use Titles as incentives, and the items/small cash you get. Plus, I dunno about everyone else, I just find GW fun so I don't mind playing it =P

Guardian of the Light · May 09, 2006, 04:29 AM // 04:29

Yes, gold.

Nuff said.

-Loki- · May 09, 2006, 04:45 AM // 04:45

Maybe because you enjoy playing the game? Nah, we don't play games for that.

xis10al · May 10, 2006, 08:35 AM // 08:35

Because you've done everything else in Prophecies and seeing something new, however mundane it might be, is better than farming the same old places over and over again?

Gonzo · May 10, 2006, 09:41 AM // 09:41

Where do you use these Forbidden keys? In the elite missions? I spend all my imperial commendations up untill now on Hunters Ale. Free beer is a very good reason to do the quests.

Rah Balder · May 10, 2006, 09:54 AM // 09:54

You use them in second last mission called Raisu Pavilion, can get nice things like Oni Daggz

Gonzo · May 10, 2006, 09:56 AM // 09:56

Drat, less free beer for me then (and I'm only at 10 minutes drunk yet).
