Progression Requsts Thread

[The Phantom God]

Welcome to the Progression Requests thread! This is an important thread you can post in when you need staff confirmation or awareness of a progression related thing. For example, this is where you would want to post once you hit Level 15 so that staff know it's time to begin your Level 15 quest. Likewise, this is also a thread you can use to nominate quests for a rare item. Simply include a link to your quest log (Not the IC thread.) once the quest has been completed.


Rare Item Acquisition
A staff member will review the thread to decide whether the questers were challenged adequately enough to warrant a rare item drop. If they decide that yes, it is, they will then rate the difficulty ICly faced by characters on a scale of 5. This is based on the threat of mission failure due to IC factors. There will then be a staff roll using a modifier based on the staff member's judgment of the thread. The roll must beat a threshold of 13 for the players to be awarded an item, with three factors determining the modifier. Each factor adds a +1 to the roll, up to a maximum of +3. Note that if a quest does not meet any of the three, it is not eligible.

Factors:

1. The risk of failure as a result of mechanics. Difficult fights, risky traps, punishing GMs.
2. The relevance to an ongoing plotline, as opposed to being a one-off quest.
3. Whether the previous two quests in the plotline this quest is part of failed to award rare items.
