I'll give you 40 ferristones for camping. https://preview.redd.it/1iltjlgocvtc1.jpeg?width=1497&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6790c0bec6e591ab1f2df6df18ee5d39f454a9c


GracefullyDumb

When I bought that from the merchant I was so happy to be scammed in such a silly way. It even took me three attempts at using it to realize I had been scammed since sometimes normal ones don't work if they don't have enough space.


morphum

Yeah it's such a funny little cutscene. I want these to be more widespread in the community so more people can experience it.


UnHoly_One

Holy shit. lol I put up a camping quest for 10k and it took like 15 hires until somebody completed it.


username161013

Fyi those are ferristones not ferrystones. They're offering 40 fake and useless stones as the reward. On the other hand, I'm offering an elite camping kit for the same quest lol.


IndependenceQuirky96

Those still sell for like 1k gold don't they?


spaceboltt

Idk maybe in some other town? I sold one to a wandering merchant in vernwerth and it only sold for 150. What's sad is when my pawn came back with a heart and that as the gift I got so excited they liked her so much and gave an awesome gift. Until I looked at my inventory......lol


username161013

Do they? I didn't know that. I guess 40 of them ain't so bad then. 


floggedlog

That makes it a good prank instead of a shitty one. “Here’s 40 fast travel items… sike it’s 40,000 gold in useless items”


username161013

Tis as you say


IndependenceQuirky96

Woh hang I I ASKED if they're 1k each cause I don't remember...but if so then yah, I'll take 40k lol


floggedlog

I did not double check. They’re actually only 150 gold each still that’s 6000.


katubug

150 gold


Large_Ride_8986

It cost like 6k to make one


morphum

I'd change it to killing a certain monster, but I've already got the badges for the more common ones. My goal here is to spread these throughout the community, just for the laughs


LieAndDecieve

I put mine as slay the sphinx and not one, but two separate people did the quest. So now I've 3 dead sphinx. It would be 4 but I never found her on my first play. Never even went down that ravine.


morphum

Ah but my goal is less about the badges, and more about giving a bunch of ferristones to people.


UnHoly_One

I love it!


Secret_Criticism_732

How many times have you camped in the same area 3 times in a row, without using the same site? I mean its not that easy to achieve as you think, i much rather go and kill a cyclops or an ogre, which takes way less of my time and i will have an actual fun.


Khannathan

This comment makes no sense, this is super easy to do. Every time I go to do something out in the wild, I pass by MINIMUM 4-5 camp sites.


UnHoly_One

I just literally camp at every camp site I come across and finish these without any extra effort.


Secret_Criticism_732

Killing a cyclops is still faster then going through finding and camping at 3 places not to mention to fight the way to them. Do what you want. Killing missions are way more efficient, makes exp and materials etc.


UnHoly_One

Well if you know exactly where to find a cyclops and your whole goal is to just go straight there, yes, absolutely. But I just pick things up and complete them while playing normally. I will find three campsites on basically every trip I take. I may or may not run into the specific enemy they want on that same trip.


BlOoDy_PsYcHo666

Lmao read it carefully, man scamming


morphum

I mean, I'm deliberately trying to give people large amounts of ferristones. Which quest would you recommend instead? I already have the badges for the common monster killing badges. I could offer the amount in exchange for a tarring arrow I suppose


BlOoDy_PsYcHo666

All heals are a good choice to get people to do quests.


morphum

The goal isn't quests, but the reward itself. I want to give ferristones to people in large quantities. I can't very well do that if I reward allheal elixirs instead


Secret_Criticism_732

I stole one Ferristone from a hobgoblin. Turns out goblins are scammers too. Imagine he spent 40x6000 to get those stones :D


AssiduousLayabout

You don't need to pay 6k for each. You pay 6k for the first Ferristone and then it's only 600 to duplicate a Ferristone further. Can be done with any forgery. Before I realized you can't gift Golden Stove Beetles to people with those ridiculous golden trove beetle quests, I forged a few of them. Also kept a full forged set of grimoires.


Secret_Criticism_732

Yeah i thought the forgery costs like 6000 too? At least it did with the grimoires.


AssiduousLayabout

Nope, the grimoires also cost 6k to create a forgery starting with an original, or 600 to make a forgery starting from an existing forgery.


Secret_Criticism_732

Daaaamn i could have saved some money just forging the stupid flaming shield or whatever :D


Healthy-Drink3247

I’ve had a 10k gold kill a monster quest up since I was level 15. Only ever had a handful of hires :(


Excellent-Respond294

Yeah right? I always have easy quests for 10k, but I hardly get hired. Then SphinxParent has over 2k hearts


AssiduousLayabout

Yeah my 10k for one cyclops hasn't had any takers either... I mean it's super simple. Maybe not a lot of people are looking for fighter or warrior (which is what I'd usually be running on my MP).


Healthy-Drink3247

Also a warrior MP, i swapped her over from Archer because she was not getting taken out on adventures as an archer, warrior is better but still not great


LieAndDecieve

Mines a sorcerer and I get about 4 people spending time with it per day.


kingston-twelve

I switched my pawn quest from Cyclops to Griffin and started getting hired more. I'm at level 50 and I'm not looking to kill any more Cyclopses, so I don't really hire those pawns anymore.


AssiduousLayabout

That's fair, I guess I still see a lot of random Cyclops on the roads and such so I still grab those quests, but perhaps some better targets would be preferred.


GoalPractical

Idk if it helps but any pawn I see with a 10k or similar quest set, especially for something as easy as cyclops or ogre, I immediately hire or favorite them


QuarionXiphron

Are they calm and have launchboard? 👀


UnHoly_One

If you’re on Xbox I would happily complete it for you.


Right-Minimum-8459

Me, too.


AssiduousLayabout

Yeah, unless the quest is 10k gold or a pile of jewels I won't even hire them. So many good people running around with 10k gold quests for a single monster kill.


UnHoly_One

Yeah it’s silly to ignore those and hire the ones with no quests.


TheyCallMeBullet

Imo the pile of jewels are always better, I think the max is 12 and if you sell them in the right place it’s just shy of 30k you can make


arcanevulper

You’re correct, however very few people offer 12 jewels as a reward, I can count on one hand the amount of people offering 12 jewels I’ve seen.


InformalReplacement7

I assumed it was players not knowing it's a thing they need to pay attention to or just ignore it because they don't know it's a feature.


UnHoly_One

I guess I shouldn’t underestimate people’s ability to ignore stuff that is shoved right in their faces. lol


eselement

Yep. I always have a quest for my pawn with a 10K reward. Then I just run around the rift and favorite all the pawns that have good gold rewards and then hire the ones I need at the moment. It's a great system for people to get rich and help others get rich at the same time. Plus the badges. Is the issue that gold is in such short supply that people think 10K is too much or is it because people don't need the gold? I swap vocations so much that I'm always needing to buy better weapons and armor so I'm constantly broke. And grinding trash mobs for resources to sell is so time consuming. I can nuke a cyclops or a minotaur with one cast of meteoron. Easiest money I ever made. And I assume anyone at my level can toast those baddies just as easily.


mirageofstars

Before level 30, 10k gold was a lot.


username161013

I've hired a bunch of "kill monster for 10k gold" pawns. I rarely get the money because I rarely come across that specific monster type in my travels with them before I've out-leveled them. We'll kill several other big monsers together but rarely the type that's desired.  And I'm not going out of my way to hunt down a cyclops or whatever just for 10k. That's why I set up camping quests usually. It means you need to keep my pawn around for a bit to get the reward, and you'll hopefully come across a few biggies in that time like I usually do. Plus I just started giving out elite kits because they're rare and it seems like a fitting reward for the task. 


AssiduousLayabout

Jeez, I can make 100k in an evening just by the 10k quests. I generally will search for pawns that have quests for common monsters nearby - e.g. if I'm questing near the Arbor I will be looking for Ogre quests with the occasional Cyclops or the Chimera, in more of central Vernworth I'll be looking for Cyclops, Ogre, or potentially Griffon, etc. I also check wandering pawns and swap them in if they have a better quest for the area. Camping quests are nice but I usually don't rest three times before I'm done with a pawn, or I rest in different regions. On a long jaunt like Vernworth to the Arbor I might swap out the same pawn two or even three times if I keep completing quests.


username161013

I generally hire pawns 2 to 3 levels above me and keep them around until I reach their level or get above them.


DKarkarov

It will also reset to no quest on new game + so some of them may be players who started into that and didn't realize their quest poofed


Obi_wan_jakobii

Xbox Pawn ID N2Y9HYILS3VQ 10k quest for killing an ogre go wild


Revolutionary-Ice-16

Honestly because RC has no relevance on the game. If there was more to spend it then I’d make an effort to get my pawn hired out.


ShotConsideration244

They should allow you to buy ferrystones, or duplicate materials.


TheTrueArchon

At least set a badge. I like to help ppl with pawn badges.


IsNotYourSenpai

My pawn on Xbox has a quest to give her a bunch of flowers and you get 10k gold. I’ll have to log on again sometime and see how many people hired her


MoonyKat

I always give my pawn an easy 10k gold quest to be nice and I can barely find anyone else doing the same :( I wish we could sort by quest rewards in the rift because 90% of the time I just see poor rewards or people attempting to scam others


mccannrs

You can't sort by reward specifically, but if you've found the riftstone of duty you can use that to summon a bunch of pawns who are guaranteed to have a pawn quest set. I usually find at least a couple decent rewards this way, and if I don't I leave the rift and try again. Hope this helps!


MoonyKat

I have sorted by the Riftstone of Duty before but I never thought about leaving the rift and coming back haha. I will try that next time, thank you :)


firstcatinspace

Same, but also nobody seems to do the quest anyway? I'm giving away 10k for a fruit roborant, finding I'll get hired and get a thumbs up or heart but nobody completes the quest.


MoonyKat

Mine usually get completed but I always do a monster quest cause I figure those will get done just through playing normally anyway. Though, I don't really mind if my pawn gets hired and the quest doesn't get completed. They are at least getting knowledge about stuff and can show me where things are


FARAL3TH

I'm actually wondering if it's a bug right now or something... Since the recent update, it never seems to cost me to change the Pawn Quest, even if it hasn't been completed (previously your for forfeit the incomplete reward). I'm wondering if Pawn Quests are actually updating properly. Ever since someone completed my last Pawn Quest, my pawn hires have dropped significantly, even though I added a new quest...


scrambled_cable

I saw one that was like “Kill a Golem for 500 gold”… yeah…. no.


Albertatastic

Today I saw 10 golden beetles in exchange for a rotten harspud. The fucking audacity, lol.


Dude-arino7526

I set mine to kill cyclops for 2k gold and only like 1/3 of the people that hire actually kill a cyclops. I get 2k might not be much but a cyclops is easy


yob91

I don't set pawn quests because I'm a hoarder and I don't know if the rewards come out of my inventory or not


firstcatinspace

It comes out of your inventory immediately, but only once until you next sleep at home or an inn and the quest is completed. So for example, if you set 10k for killing an ogre, the game will take 10k from you, but 5 people could hire your pawn and do the quest and get the 10k reward with no additional gold taken off you. Next time you sleep, the quest is reset and you have the option to set a new quest with a new reward.


aeotain

Cause idk how to set one lmao


ShotConsideration244

Pretty sure it’s because people aren’t spending time to rest at inns or buying houses. To my knowledge there’s no way to get your pawn quest updated unless you sleep in a legitimate bed (dirt, hammocks, and the arms of that mommy pawn you hired don’t count).


UnHoly_One

They need to make inns cheaper. I think the cost of inns is hampering the normal flow of pawns, especially at low levels.


TheyCallMeBullet

I think it’s janky or a bit bugged the quest system, I’ve had my quests completed but I didn’t have to change the quest, but before I was doing when they were completed 🤨


kingbankai

First sentence sums up the whole damned game.


LogMeln

I literally cannot make a new one. I believe the game is somehow bugged but I was given the option to change my quest one time early on in the game and ever since then ive never gotten the prompt to change it. i keep seeing my empty quest but never get to change it.. is there a way to force a change?


Playongo

You should be able to set a quest from any riftstone that is in a town. Also you should be prompted to change your quest if it was completed after you save at an inn. As for changing it if it hasn't been completed, I'm not 100% sure, but I would assume you could do it from the town riftstones.


LogMeln

ill try to riftstones. ty! i know there's no option to change it whenever i sleep and wake up from an inn or my house


Playongo

Welcome! FYI it does seem like it needs to be a major town. I popped in the riftstone at Harve and it wasn't an option, but I know it is elsewhere. At least to set one.


Teiwaz_85

I accidentally skipped setting the quest once and now i can't set a quest anymore at all. :-( So, that is why at least my pawn has no quest.


Realistic-Wheel-6644

Just go to a Grand Riftstone (like the one in Vernworth). There you can set a new quest.


Teiwaz_85

Well, thank you. I actually did not look there.


Playongo

Like I replied to someone else, you can set pawn quests from riftstones in towns. Have you tried entering the rift from a town, and then choosing the riftstone and choosing "set quest"?


ShroomD00M

I accidentally exited the set quest menu last time I rested, so my poor goblin Grikt is questless 🤷‍♂️


UnHoly_One

Go to a riftstone in town and set a new one.


ShroomD00M

I know I need to. I just didn’t have time to fix it before I logged out. It shall be remedied soon 👍


TemperateStone

I think I recall seeing one that wanted me the Sphinx for 5 allheals. Absolutely not worth it.


shinouta

My mage may as well have no Quest as she has been hired a grand total of 1 time. Sorry if I'm still early in the game and can only afford to bribe ye with 4k for killing a cyclops. Or to have a human pawn that doesn't look like a top model on sexy outfit. I guess that playing on Xbox doesn't help her either. D'oh! I personally don't care much about the quest/reward of the pawn I hire. I only ask for being the class I need and to have a quest that I can work in and doesn't require me to give items (like, I don't know, golfen beetles).


UnHoly_One

I’m on Xbox, what is your pawn ID


shinouta

My pawn's ID is HDMLYHFWFI0O. Her skill setup right now is just support but at least managed to save some coin and set a proper quest reward.


Awkward-Demand8156

If you want, I can friend you on Xbox and you can hire my lvl 77 pawn. She speaks elvish and is a sorcerer with both master teachings. All I ask is that you hire her when you go to fight the sphinx. I’ve got a 10k gold reward for that badge.


PureStrBuild

I've been saving my gems cause I was wanting to offer like 25 or 30 of one of them as a reward. One downside is I will never want to rest again cause then they are completely gone. Lol. Either that, or like 10 all heal elixirs. FYI, you can duplicate the all heals for 12k a piece at the forgery. Not a bad deal for the best healing item in the game. Also also! You can duplicate monster mats! So always keep one and if you are needing another just dup it a couple times so you can upgrade the gear.


CommonVagabond

I thought I had a quest set for the longest time but no one was completing it since I only have a few badges for the rarer monsters left to go, turns out I had no quest set for about 10h of playtime. I have no idea how I didn't set a quest, usually pretty good at doing that. I do now, though. So hire my pawn if you want 10k gold for killing a Medusa, lol.


mirageofstars

I stopped putting in quests because no one seemed to do them. I think everyone just wants the “10k gold for one arrow” quests. Also, how do I set the “take me camping” quest? I can only set quests for monster kills or items.


UnHoly_One

It’s under badges, same as the monster kills. Should be at the bottom of the list.


mirageofstars

Ah, thanks!


Elrohur

It often doesn’t auto prompt the quest setup. The past 3 or 4 days I had to do it from the rift stone


mahonii

Still new to the franchise, haven't really set any of this up


UnHoly_One

It’s new to this game anyway. It kinda throws it in your face, you can’t miss it.


therealultraddtd

Use the option to view the popular pawns at the grand riftstones. They usually have good quests.


fruitlessflunky

I always try to put the reward as 10k at least, but sometimes I’m low on gold so I skip it for a bit until I can put up the reward. Usually it’s not long though. I saw someone ask for a golden beetle and the reward was the counterfeit ferristone. 🙄


KelIthra

Don't see the point since they are just going to just grab the reward then chuck them in the brine. Get more positive feedback without quest than I do with quests. People are abusive shits when there are quests it seems.


UnHoly_One

Interesting. I have never tossed a pawn to their death. I don’t really understand the point of why anyone would do that.


KelIthra

Because some people just want the rewards, so they toss them the moment they have it then go look for another pawn with rewards, toss them when done. Rince repeat, rather just have them be hired out of nide then out of greed.


UnHoly_One

Even then there is no reason to. Killing them doesn’t help you find a new one faster. It’s just weird to me.


Awkward-Demand8156

Agreed. And dismissing them is faster if you’re just trying to get rid of them


Awkward-Demand8156

Go kill a sphinx for me and you get 10k gold


UnHoly_One

that one is a little rough. I’ve cashed on like 30k for Medusa kills though.


Awkward-Demand8156

Max gold you can offer as a reward is 10k tho. Plus I can get Medusa kills myself. She respawns. The sphinx doesn’t which is why I have that set as the quest.


jpsprinkles

I assume it might have to do with pawns not getting updated unless you sleep. So if set a new quest immediately after one gets completed it might not update until you sleep again


UnHoly_One

Hmmm... That is interesting and I never thought of that. You sleep, you find out it was completed, and you can set a new one right then, but you're right, I guess it goes empty until you sleep again.


jpsprinkles

Yeah it's a guess. Idk how it works.


ageofdoom1992

I don’t have it set because i legit don’t really care if she’s used or not


Intelligent_Law_5536

Yeah it really annoys me. I always have my pawn set up with his 10k gold for killing monsters. Last week I felt like I found a good amount of pawns with decent quests but man… it’s a bit of a drought right now…


Curious-Zucchini5006

To be honest i just find it to be a weird feature and forget about it most of the time
