What are quests?
Quests are an alternative way to get upgrades that is more focused on building your Evoloon story and less on grinding magic or participation.
Quests do not replace the old Time, Magic and Participation system. You can still earn upgrades with LM, GM, Time and Participation. Only the former Action requirements are replaced by quests, and all upgrades earned before quests were released are still valid. You don't lose any of your upgrades or effort.
If you were in the middle of an action progress (like eat 5 things to get this upgrade), you can finish your progress. Just make sure to put all the required art in your Evoloon's tracker. Old actions cannot be used for new upgrades. You must use the quest system instead.Instructions
The Quest Points needed to get an upgrade must equal the rank of the upgrade. For example, for a rank 3 upgrade, you need to gather 3 Quest Points. In order to get the proper amount of points, you can either do multiple small quests or one bigger quest. If your quest is granting you more quest points than necessary for an upgrade, you can use the remaining points for another upgrade.
The quest piece can be one artwork, one comic or one story (except for challenging quests which have their own requirements):
- Artwork: Gives 1 quest point.
- Comic: Gives 1 quest point per panel following the rules.
- Story: Gives 1 quest point per 350 words (rounded down).
- Challenging Quests: Gives 4 quest points. See the Challenging Quests section to know the requirement for each quest.
The Quest Points are consumed when the upgrade(s) is/are used. Each artwork must be used only once. You have to choose which upgrade(s) are earned by the quest. You can use the quest points later, but when you choose the upgrade(s) earned by the quest, you need to add the required info (see next topic) in the description of your artwork. We strongly suggest to choose the 1 quest = 1 upgrade method if possible to make the process easier.
You can choose yourself which quests you want to do. You don't have to follow any order. You don't have to do them all. You can repeat a quest multiple times, even with the same Evoloon. You can do the same quest with different Evoloons, as long as you draw new art for each Evoloon.
Make sure to mention in your deviation or in the title the type of quest and the number. Example: Trivial quest #17.
Art must be submitted in the Quest Art folder.
Questions or comments? Please write them here.
Info to add to the description of your quest art
For each upgrade earned by the quest, you need to add this info in the description of your quest art:
Evoloon this quest is for: link to approval art
Upgraded earned through this quest: (If you need more than one quest to get the upgrade, please also include the mention "(partial)")
Ancient Bonus: (if so, link to the approval art of your ancient)
We suggest you make a tracker for your Evoloon, especially if you are using more than one quest to get a single upgrade.
