Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Ether Saga Online is a very story-driven game, which is inspired by Chinese literary classic Journey to the West. Quests will provide characters with opportunities for experience and loot, but since many quests are also linked with the game’s storyline, they will also progress the story. Therefore, they will be one of the main components of gameplay in Ether Saga Online. Each race has a different story, which will provide different quests. However, all races are working toward the common goal of being asked to join the Journey to the West.

First, let’s talk nitty gritty details. There are over 12,000 quests and subquests in the game. To compare that with retail games, World of Warcraft has 8,700 quests. Our level cap is 90, so that’s an average of 133 quests per level! With such a large catalog of quests, players will never get bored in the game. More importantly, the quests will direct players on where they need to go next. We even have a function in the game (accessed by hitting Ctrl-Q) that will call up a menu that lists every available quest for you. It will show you the objectives and the location to accept the quest.

There are 16 different types of quests in ESO. These range from Fate Quests (the core story) to Fun Quests (trivia and repeatable quests). The goals of the quests will require you to kill monsters, talk to an NPC, deliver an item or even collect puzzle pieces. Some will ask you to check out the view from atop a waterfall. Others will require you to find a character of the opposite gender and ask you to swap items.

In addition to the story-driven quests, there are also daily quests and bulletin board quests. Daily quests encompass various types of quests. First, there are events that occur several times per day in Pokari, the main city. NPCs will arrive in Pokari to give out a specific quest. One quest asks you to deliver supplies to the city guards; another one asks you to ward off rats invading the city. Second, there are daily quests for couples, clans and alliances. All of these daily quests are meant to bring players together, and yield great and rare rewards.
