Hi everyone !

Lately I've been doing Illisia questline then Joshua recruitment quest and it appeared that "Time Piece : Royal Road 0/1" (Baselrane's Worst Disaster quest) can only be acquired through Highmaster raid in Royal Road Siege (100% chance tho). I find it a bit... brutal, considering our server is still young and player base is quite newbie yet. Not every faction or players can carry this kind of raid for now. What I'd like to suggest is to bring back Expert and Master modes in RR for this quest, so that everyone can have a chance to finish this quest.

As reminder : when first released, this quest item could be acquired in all modes but with different percent. 10% in Expert mode, 50% in Master, 100% in Highmaster. Like this, everyone could try to get the item, making the quest trully accessible !

Thank you for checking.

Will it affect the game economy?
Not really, I suppose ? Roulette should be different from HM ofc.

Will it affect a core feature of the game?
I don't know at all how game mechanics work tbh... but in past versions of GE, it used to have Expert / Master / Highmaster modes and it still has nowadays in Talos mission for example. It's not something that was never here to begin with. This is NOT about creating a handmade bypass, but rather to put it back how it was when the quest was first released. ^^

If we approve it, what will happen?
Players will get more chance to acquire high end character through quests and it can be good for the variety of characters played !

Rate? 3

Sidenote : Kael recruitment quest also asks for this type of raid if I recall. If the suggestion is ok, maybe can the GM also check for him ?

Hi, first of all thanks for the detailed suggestion, this makes my life way easier.
I will take a look at this next week but I don't want to giveyour hopes too high, re-enabling missions that involve quests is quite some high amount of work.

I had a look at this and activating the missions + loot table + monsters is possible, what gives me quite some headaches is their integration though.
That means warps/triggers/texts/visibility in Information Center.

I don't think we will have enough free time for such a project anytime soon.
Instead of giving false hope to players that this might come "someday" I'd rather decline this suggestion.

Hi, thank you for checking anyway and giving time to it, I knew this wouldn't be easy and isn't server fault, it's just newest version like this. ^^
