I think that the main problem is that there isn't much of an incentive to complete quests. If the average player is not able to complete the quests given to them, then there is no reason for them to even attempt to complete them. The rewards are paltry in comparison to the amount of resources one must invest in exploring to complete said quests, and often they just aren't realistic to finish. For example, quests given in the swamp are going to be more difficult for players with unestablished explore packs. And breeder quests are usually out of the way and, as many players say, happens when it happens.

A remedy for this could be boosts or upgrades given to the player upon completing quests, maybe some milestone quests that give significant boons. I am a huge explore fanatic, and I believe this would draw more players to explore as after all it is a core mechanic of Wolf Play!

They happen when they happen.

I find the limited options can make it easy to get stuck on them.

Add On Edit: Would be really neat to include quests as part of Slim's job since the guy is honestly the most useless NPC I think. It would make sense in my opinion. Slim desperately needs a refresh update.

Let us take on quests (could have permanent and/or limited time ones that reset everyday/week), complete them for a Slim-specific currency (rocks? fish?? what do bears like lol), let us buy stuff like Bidoo's shop does. It gives NPCs more purpose if we have something to gain from interacting with them.

^ agreeing with this. A weekly quest generation could be a fun solution to that issue as well, especially since not all packs explore or breed and can end up with 3 quests they can't complete, and lose interest.

Quest rewards will probably also have to be altered, as battling 30 sun bears in jungle for a 10-50mush reward is not something I'd activley go out of my way to do (since a pack of 6 could take my explore team out lol.)

I think a this or that approach might be a good idea as an alternative option, for those very specific quest as long as they're of equal difficulty. Ie,

Find painted pottery shards OR pottery shards

Breed for a brindle OR leopard marking

Battle x bengal tigers OR x sun bears

Addiontally, quest for earning currency (bone shards, event currency, earning x amout of mush from explore or sales), explore encounters (scaring off the birdman or helping the bear cub in forest x times), crafting items, playing mini games (beat the beetle game x times), PvP/Alliance/Faction related ones or donating wishbones/hidden falls items etc would be nice. 🤠
