Last week we saw several new faces in Serendale. We also learned that these eight new NPCs would provide a new type of questing option for our Heroes, Training Quests! Many of our Heroes have been tirelessly working in Profession Quests that perhaps do not align perfectly with their class, but now they will have the chance to participate in a new quest perhaps better suited for them!

Eight new NPCs now available in Serendale that each offer a new stat-based quest!

Training Quests

General, Queueing, and Stamina Cost

Each of these eight new NPCs will provide a specific quest that will correlate with one of the eight basic stats (Strength, Agility, Endurance, Wisdom, Dexterity, Vitality, Intelligence, and Luck).

These Training Quests are similar to Fishing and Foraging in terms of how they are queued and handled. For example:

• You can send six heroes together in a group at one time.
• Each Training Quest will cost 5 stamina.
• The number of Training Quest attempts a group can take will be limited by the Hero in the group with the lowest amount of stamina available at the time of queuing the quest.

Unlike profession quests, which are heavily impacted by the profession gene— there is no specific gene that allows a Hero to quest more efficiently (i.e. use less stamina) with Training Quests. Instead, it will be five stamina per quest for all Heroes.

Since these are training quests, your character may grow to the point of being too strong for these Training Quests, at which point they will need to do other types of quests to expend their stamina.

What Impacts Success Rate?

The formula for these Training Quests is simple, but suffice to say that the higher the applicable stat is on your Hero that corresponds with the Training Quest, the better your chances of success will be. Additional bonuses will apply if you have Stat Genes (blue, green and purple) that correspond to the applicable stat.

Each Training Quest Ties to One of the Eight Basic Stats

As noted above — each of the new NPCs provides a quest thematically tied to one of each of the 8 basic Hero stats. Having a higher applicable stat will result in a higher chance of success for the applicable quest. However, there is an element of randomness, so while having a high applicable stat will not guarantee a win, it will increase the chance of winning.

Training Quest Rewards

Training Quests will provide some exciting new rewards! The rewards are calculated for each quest attempt by a hero.

Experience

What would a quest be without giving you some experience in exchange for those valuable stamina points? Training Quests will also provide experience, but will provide more experience than the current Level 0 Profession Skill Quests!

New Reward — Eternal Story Pages

The Training Quests introduce a brand new reward called a “Page of the Eternal Story.” Initially there will be nine pages available, with a tenth page to launch in a future limited-time event! Players that are able to collect all 10 pages can bind them together into a new lore-based NFT. We will share more details on these in the future, but these exciting new NFTs will be limited to specific periods of time, which we will refer to as seasons. Once a season is over, these limited-time pages and the NFTs you can craft with them will never be available again!

The type of Page of the Eternal Story you receive is not tied to the type of Training Quest you do. All Training Quests have a chance to drop any of the nine Pages of the Eternal Story.

Lesser Attunement Crystals

Training Quests will also be the first quest players can repeat that will provide Lesser Attunement Crystals! The Lesser Attunement Crystals that will drop will match the stat being tested by the Training Quest. Read more about Lesser Attunement Crystals in the Docs.

Shvas Runes

Like the profession quests, the Training Quests will have a chance to drop runes Shvas runes! To learn more about Shvas runes you can view the DeFi Kingdoms Docs here.

Gold

Last but not least, players will now have another method to earn Gold other than through gold mining or selling their crafting materials. Gold is on the item drop table for each of the Training Quests.

Happy training for your Heroes!
