Great story line, But I do have some concerns.. the amount of stuff you have to get for them is waaay to much, the placement of the characters are just not done right, its hard to find who and where you're looking for them. I dont think you should make arrows pointing to them, but describing a place in a town that is not known to everyone, it gets to be a pain looking all over for them. And this is not just one person, but the stuff you need for the quests... There is no need to put them up on AH for a stupid amount of money. Sorry My review is sorta bad, just pointing out stuff other people have said too. But the quest are fun and a cool prize waits at the end.

I'm glad you're enjoying the story. :). I'm just going to go through some of the negative points you've mentioned and try to explain them a bit more, if I'm misunderstood you please say so.

The whole point of these quests is for them to be something for you to be able to actively do on the server, it's not meant to be a race to who can finish it first, if it takes you a week+ to collect all of the materials that's fine? Enjoy the time while you collecting them, if you don't want to collect them, try to buy them?

Regarding locations being hard to find, I'm not sure exactly which part of the quest you're talking about (and obviously don't want to post spoilers) but the instructions for what to do are clearly explained in the quest books? For example the "town hall" is almost obviously going to be a big building near the town spawn or even labelled from there (again part of the fun is trying to find them)? In this part of the quest the harder to find things even gave directions which if you had perfectly followed they should be in your path.

Regarding people selling things on the Auction for high prices, that's how supply and demand works, if people are willing to pay high prices then sellers might as well sell for high prices to those with the money? If you can't afford it, try to make more money, ask for a bargain or collect them yourself? Again this is meant to be part of the fun of it.

I do appreciate your feedback, but I'm wondering if maybe you're looking at the quests as simply a way to gain rare items rather than for the actual task of completing the quests to be a fun event by itself, if you have any feedback still though please do say. :)

Locations on where the next part are just not easy to find, I didn't know the town and when you are doing one part, it tells you to go a certain way. left, right.. etc etc, I think it should be north, east, west, south, because what if you are facing another way then someone else. your left might be my right,,,, I hope this clears up that part, I understand about supply and demand, but over 10,000 nubz for 64 hay, that is a little high. and I've heard others complain about that. and yes. if you cant afford it, don't buy it. and I know you cant control the price of items on the AH. but yeah I was just stating a few things I felt about the quests. Its just my opinion, no biggie, and no need to go and change everything around just for my sake.  maybe do a poll or a questionnaire on what people think.. oh well, thanks for listening.

So I can understand the left/right vs north/south.  However as Co-Mayor of Shangri-La, I would like to point out that Jaeger and the rest of the town staff has spend 100's of hours building it up and we want to show it off!  Shangdi-La is a beautiful town and we love to have everyone spend some time to get to know her better, explore and see all the great building we have to offer.  Maybe even consider joining our town if you wish.

Now regarding the materials - e.g. hay, I for one did not have anywhere near that many bales, but being a member of a great town, I went straight to the town farm and in a matter of a 15-20 minutes I had double the required bales, plus time to reseed the town farm. 

So IMO, I agree 100% with ItsLawrance, spend some time and enjoy the event.  No need to rush through, stop and smell the flowers and have some fun.

I' sort of fun to go to towns and view then for their beauties,  I think I've been to most of the towns and know my way around a lot of them pretty well. I think that the part 2 of the quest was sort of close together npc wise, they were probably less than 300 blocks away from  each other. Sorry that I sell things for high prices, I usually do on everything I put on ah though.

There is no need to apologize for high /ah prices, there is a free economy and if the potential customer does not like the price, there is no need to buy. We don't need to get in the bad habit *again* of publicly calling people out for prices.

I never called you out on your prices, but then again, you are not the only one that does it either Andrew lol  I didnt mean to make an uproar about all this.

I really enjoyed these quests as I do all the quests.  Thank you to the staff for putting these on & taking your personal time to set these up for us! :)

I was able to complete this quest, both parts twice.  I only needed some help from others with the apples the second time around. But, that was only because I was being impatient and wanted to do it right away, haha.  The first stack of apples I got for free myself from chopping oak trees.

I was chopping wood last night to restock & got 24 apples within no time at all.  For the hay - you don't have to buy it if you don't want to? It's also for sale in a lot of shops for cheaper than the /ah. I got mine in a matter of minutes free at the local town farm.  There are plenty of town farms & public farms on the server.

Everything in this quest is obtainable cheaply (and free) for anyone at any skill level.  I see plenty of sheep farms/spawners and plenty of wool shops, and even places that sell dye.  There are biomes of flowers to get more dyes for free & there are people with colored sheep farms that would be willing to have others over to do some shearing if anyone really wanted.

It just takes awhile sometimes to get them the free route, but that's part of the fun.  It's not a race.  Hang out with friends on the server & work on collecting things, learning things, meeting new folks and seeing new places.

For any quest so far that I have seen since I have joined this server, if anyone says Oh I can't find fairy 3, or I can't find the princess, does anyone know? I have yet to see in chat pure silence & crickets.  No matter what time I have been on, there are always people willing to help, show, guide, assist & take someone to the next character or offer any help whatsoever.  All someone has to do is ask for assistance.

Personally, I think the quests have helped with the community feeling on the server & people working together/helping each other & exploring more of the server that they otherwise wouldn't have seen.  The activity on the server also goes up when quests are out & there are new things like this.  It's great to see everyone having fun & helping each other :)
