Questions and Answers will be added as they arise


What is the Quest System?
Well that's an easy question. The Quest system is a feature made by the Gaia staff to give Gaians a means of obtaining rare and valuable items. It assigns you specific tasks, which you complete to get item and gold bonuses. Depending on the difficulty of the task, the items or gold will vary. Needless to say a simple task will give you a common item, or a small gold bonus. A long, or difficult task will give you a more valuable reward.

How do I get to the Quest System?
Simply by clicking the scroll icon, located in the upper right of your screen.

How many Quests can I do/How many are available?
Currently the only Quests you can do is the New User Quest Ruffled Feathers, and Gracie Quest. When more are ready to be put in place the admins will add more. A lot of work goes into making Quests like debugging, scripting, and artwork needs to be completed. Quests may look simple, but it's a complicated system, and takes time to make new quests, so hang tight.

I heard that MC's (Monthly Collectibles) are going to be added to the Quest system surprised Is that true?
The Quest System is currently in it's first phase, phase one. There are talks about adding older previous monthly collectibles to the Quest system, once the quest system enters into phase two, however the Quests will take a long time, like around 1-24 months to finish . Nothing has been officially decieded on how this will work, or be implemented. The majority of users want the MC's added to the Quests, while some are totally opposed. The admins have to find a way to try and please all parties involved. In other words if they are introduced, it wont likely be any time soon.

Ive heard that Quest Specific items will be added, items you can only get by using the Quest System, is this true?

Why yes it is biggrin However besides the backwings, we have no confirmation on any possible items that will be made available in the Quest System.

What are BackWings?
The items us older Gaians have been waiting for since 2003, full angel and bat-like wings to complete the Angelic and Nitemare themed items. Sheesh who wouldn't want a sweet pair of wings on their avatar? There are no details on what the backwing quest will be like. So while we know we are getting them, we do not yet know the specifics.

How often will new quests be added?
Once the system has all it's little issues worked out, and the admins are ready to add more quests, ideally a new quest will be added monthly.

Will Towns specific tasks be incorporated into the Quests? What about the Battle System (when it arrives) will thet be tied into the Quest System?
Yes it will. Everything you can do on Gaia is connected to the Quest System. The possibilities are endless. Once again there is no specifics.

Who made the Quest System?
Im so glad you asked. According to Fleep, all these lovely people. Give em some love!

Will you add info for all the Quests?
As they become available, I will certainly try. When the Quests become very long, I will likely update as I progress, and not in one big chunk, a step at a time. But i'll update. If I need help in the future, I'll recruit some. Right now it's manageable.

Another movie sponsored quest. This one gives us Gaians our very own soccer ball. Considering soccer is such a huge game globally, and Gaia is a global community, it is a great item!

Gaia's second sponsor based quest! And what a cute quest it is, with a chance to earn yourself an adorable new hat heart
Please be aware that at the request of the sponsor, Funimation, Gaia is only able to offer this quest to members from the United States, the UK, Canada and Australia. You are welcome to try the quest and see if it works, even if your not in the described area, however I can offer no guarantees.

Step One: To start the quest, visit [NPC]Feather Master's profile, located here. When you are there, click the start banner with the Mokona hats displayed on it.

User Image So head over to the world map, go ahead and use the link he provided you and you should receive your first feather right away.
Step Four: Feather collection is easy. They will just drift around the world map pages as you browse the map. User Image. Click the feather when you see it. User Image, and you'll get either a Large, Medium or Small feather. Follow the directions on screen.
Remember to wait a few minutes before collecting each feather. There is a time delay, once you get a feather you need to wait a couple minutes before it will allow you to collect another..
You may not get them in order, and the amount of time to gather feathers will vary, depending on how the system grants them to you.
Step Five: Once you have collected 3 Large Feathers, 3 Medium Feathers, and 3 Small Feathers, you can bring all nine to [NPC] Feather Master to complete you quest.

User Image New User Quest - Added to Gaia on Nov 16, 2006
• Is this a Quest you can repeat? No.

This is the very first quest to be added to the Gaia Online Quest System! Granted it's not particularly hard, nor does it have big rewards for those of us who have been around Gaia for a while. However for new users, it's a great Quest to complete to understand some of the basics, we older users take for granted.

Step 1 : First things first you have to head into the Quests section of Gaia. You get to quests by clicking on the scroll icon, right next to the announcement button, in the upper right of your screen. Once inside, be sure to click on the Quest you have available, in this case, the New User Quest.
Click for screen cap! User Image
Step 2: This brings us to Moria. User Image Be sure to read everything Moria has to say to you now, and from this time forward. Mistakes can often times be avoided by just reading things carefully. When you have read the message, click the accept Quest Button.
Step 3: So first things first Moria wants you to dress up your avatar. User Image Easy enough right? ^_^ Just click the link in her message, and off you go. Make sure that you add an item, or remove an item and then save changes. If you do not make an actual change, Moria will stay on this step until you do.
Step 4: The next message from Moria should notify you that you have finished a step. User Image So now click the continue button to move to the next step in your quest.
Step 5: As an award for completing your previous task, Moria is giving you an Ohh~Cean Blue Head Wrap as an award. User Image Pretty nifty huh? Cant say you didn't get something out of this, be sure to click the "Claim Reward & Continue" button. It will then redirect you to this screen, User Image before bringing you to the next step.
Step 6: Moria gives you a bit of info about Daily chance. I am pretty sure 99.9% of all Gaians already know, before ever starting with Quests what Daily Chance is. To start this next step, click the Accept Quest Button. User Image If you haven't used Daily chance yet, it will bring you to the main page, and all you got to do is click the Daily Chance, get your Daily Chance Prize, and Moria will bring you on back. If you have already used Daily Chance Moria will automatically redirect you back to the next step as soon as you click the "Accept Quest" Button.
Step 7: So chances are you have already used Daily Chance, and you will get this message. User Image If you haven't used Daily Chance before, you will get basically the same message, but worded a bit differently. In either case click the "Claim Reward & Continue" Button, to get your small gold prize, prompting the redirect screen which leads you the next step. User Image
Step 8: Looks like Moria wants you to spend some of that gold you just received. User Image To start click the "Accept Quest" Button.
Step 9: Alright first of all read the message. Click the link User Image and go to the Barton Boutique. Once you arrive at the Barton Boutique User Image make sure to first (i) Click the dialog bubbles to make them disappear (ii) Click the By Price tab, which is the bottom tab in the store item viewing area. Okay, now that everything is sorted by price, pick a cheap item you like, and buy it. Once you purchase the item Moria will appear User Image, click the "Continue" Button.
Step 10: So Moria got some gold for you as an award. User Image That's pretty sweet! Click the "Claim Reward & Continue" button, which will prompt the redirect screen, User Image and lead to the next step.
Step 11: Moria wants you to try your new clothes on. User Image Easy enough, so just click the "Accept Quest" button, and as Moria asked, then click on the pic of your avatar located in the upper right corner of your screen. This will take you to your Inventory List Screen. Click the Customize Me option next to your avatar, to go to your Customize Avatar page. Once there, find your new item in your Equippable Items window, add it, and be sure to Save the Changes. Be sure to actually make a change to your avatar's outfit before saving, otherwise the step will keep repeating till you do it correctly. Once completed Moria will pop-up with a new message User Image. So click the "Continue" Button.
Step 12: Ain't Moria just the nicest? She got another reward for you. User Image This time it's a piece of Flame Clothing. Click the "Claim Reward & Continue" button, which will give you the redirect once again. User Image
Step 13: Okay so here is the start of the last task from Moria. It's an easy one, she wants you to check out the Welcome to Gaia Forum. User Image So to get started click the "Accept Quest" button, which will bring you to this message from Moria with a link. User Image Click the link to go directly to the forum. But don't make a new thread, use the existing thread I have shown in this screen cap. User Image Make your post and viola, that's another step done. Moria appears User Image, be sure to click the "Continue" button.
Step 14: So Moria has a small gold prize for finishing the quest for you. User Image Click the "Finish Quest" button, to finish and get your gold. User Image
Step 15: You have officially finished your very first quest! User Image You can click the link, provided by Moria, to return to the homepage now, and continue enjoying all that Gaia has to offer. You can also, if you like head back to the Quests Section, by using the scroll icon in the upper right corner, and see that the New User Quest is added to you completed quests section. User Image
