Quests worth doing

Quests do two different jobs. Up to about level 30 they are a real share of your EXP. Past 30 they are a source of scrolls, mesos, fame and free potions, so pick them for that and do not expect them to carry your levels.

Level band	Normal quests as a share of that band's EXP
10 to 21	about 38%
21 to 30	about 17%
30 to 40	about 10%
40 to 50	about 4%

This is our own sum of every town quest, leaving out job and citizenship quests, against our EXP table, which is not confirmed for Classic World. Read it as a direction. Nobody does every quest, so your real share is lower. It also fits the slowdown players report at 35 to 50, which by our sums is grinding, not a missed quest.

The quest list has everything. The quest tracker merges what several quests want into one list, so take two or three that hunt the same maps and turn them in together.

Three kinds of reward

Quest pages label these. Knowing which one you are looking at decides what is worth chasing.

• Always given. Most rewards. You get every row, unless the rows are split by job. gives one pair of level 60 gloves per class.
• Random roll. The client gives each row a weight, which we read as a random roll. The percentages below come from those weights. rolls one of 14 weapon scrolls at about 7% each with no job filter. is 70% and 30% . You cannot steer it, so plan to sell what you do not use.
• Your pick. The client marks these rows differently, and we read that as your choice. 's own log describes choosing. and offer Greater weapon scrolls for your class, a Cape stat scroll, and the sword or the earrings. Pick the weapon type or stat you will actually use, or the one that sells best on the market. Greater scrolls add more but are 10% to work. Intermediate is 60% and Lesser is 100%.

Do early, or backtrack later

This is the part most lists miss. Cheap low-level quests are prerequisites for the good ones, and you only find out at 48 when an NPC has nothing for you. All of these links are client prerequisites. Missed one? Our data shows no upper level limit on these quests, so go back and do it.

Level 1 to 16

Maple Island. Everything here is small, so do what is on your way. The EXP that matters: 's seven-part quiz from to pays 490 in total, and pay 200, and into pays 120 and rolls one of seven starter hats. pays 120 and wants 10 Blue Snail Shells plus an , so keep those shells.

gives , a chair that restores 30 HP every 10 seconds. Do it, but do not stress if you miss it. in Lith Harbor sells with the same recovery for 1,000 mesos.

Level 13. to are four talk steps from to and . Together they pay 1,696 EXP, 1,224 mesos and 20 Blue Potions, roughly 40% of level 13 on our table for no fighting.

Level 15 and 16. to pay 2,676 EXP, but step 3, , needs a and our tables show no drop or shop for it. Arcforging makes one from one and 200 mesos, or check the market. at 19 also has a 12.5% roll for it. pays 813 with a random Hat Accuracy scroll, one in three each of Lesser, Intermediate and Greater. All of these matter later, see the table above.

Crafting. Nexon opens crafting at level 10. Each of the six masters has three quests. The level 15 and level 25 quests need that master's level 10 quest first, and also needs , because it has you make ingots with Smithing. Do the level 10 and 15 quests for crafts you plan to use, because they cost a few dozen kills and a little material. Do the level 25 quests too, even if you do not craft, with the level 10 quest each one needs. Each pays a Catalyst, and Catalysts sold far above an NPC in early November, while most of the goods these quests ask for sold cheaply. The step only asks you to hold the item, so a bought one should count, not confirmed. The Leatherworking chair costs far more than the others. The Carpenter chair is flagged untradable and showed no sales, so that quest means crafting it. also wants 30 kills, a mage's job. Whether crafting itself needs these quests is unknown.

Master	Level 10: 188 EXP, 351 mesos	Level 15: 669 EXP, 497 mesos, a Kit	Level 25: 3,060 EXP, 804 mesos, a Catalyst

The level 25 quests ask for crafted goods. Most of those sold cheaply between players, so most of these quests are cheap either way. See crafting. At level 12 the Omok and card set quests from , such as , pay 334 EXP and 409 mesos each.

Level 17 to 31: if you ran out of quests

One report so far says quests run out at 17. Quests at 17 and just above are worth a lot of a level, they are just spread across towns. Share-of-level figures here and in the next table use our EXP table, which is not confirmed for Classic World, so they are estimates.

Level	Chain	Pays	Why it matters
17	and , to	5,892 EXP, 3,330 mesos, 30 Blue Potions,	More than half of level 17 on our table. The last step eats a , see below

We have no drop row, and the quest log sends you to fairies in , or . Those maps hold or , only two each with a 180 second respawn, among stronger mobs such as , and . Fairies have 500 M.DEF, so Magicians should expect poor damage. The earrings are the only row in their roll, so expect them

Boss-locked quests

Five quests need a boss, and bosses are contested. The listed respawn is 3,600 seconds, and Nexon made boss timers more random on 21 October. Log and read kills on the boss timers.

Traps

• , for now. The only item reward is , warrior only. It asks for 10 , 30 , 20 , 20 and a . The 10,800 EXP is not worth that for other classes. We can show no source for the feather, so warriors should not stack for it either until they know where it comes from.
• if you want a specific scroll. Your exact weapon type is about 7%. Warrior weapons take 8 of the 14 rows, and Magician, Bowman and Thief each have 2. Do it for the EXP and because it opens 's chain, and expect to sell the scroll.
• . The quest log's own ending is that the shell turns you into a snail. Stop at .
• The scroll from . is 10% to work, and failure has a 50% chance to destroy the item. You did the quest for the fame. Never put it on gloves you care about.
• Vendoring materials. See the keep list.

Keep these items

Later quests ask for these, so do not sell them to an NPC. The same goes for scrolls that roll off-class: players report selling quest scrolls for their first real money, far above what an NPC pays. Check the market.

Coming: Forgotten Hollow

Nexon says the area opens in November, and 18 November is the expected date, so these may not be available yet. Ten quests are in our data, to , at levels 45, 50 and 55, for 133,900 EXP in total. rolls a Cape Accuracy scroll. and are picks. One report so far says the way in is through the Tree Dungeon near Ellinia or deep Sleepywood, so treat that as a lead until it opens.

Before 18 November

From level 25, run the Mark of the Beta route for , a free hat with +1 all stats, 24 W.DEF and 7 slots. It closes on 18 November. Steps are in what's in the game.

What next

Check the chains that fit your level, add them to the quest tracker, and use the pathfinder for the long walks. Training covers the grind between them.
