Editing Dragon Quests

[[Image:Dragon Quests.png]]<br>
Dragon Quests are quests you can start taking at level 20 after completing the "Love of Dragon" quest, and every 10 levels (starting at level 31) adds a new Dragon Quest (or "DQ" for short), with better odds at better rewards, up to level 91.  The rewards, called Dragon Orders, are given after completing the tenth part of each Dragon Quest.  Once a Dragon Quest is completed, it can be started again immediately.

==Rewards==
After completing the tenth stage of a Dragon Quest you are given some EXP, SP, and one Dragon Order.  There are three kinds of Dragon Orders: Copper Dragon Orders, Silver Dragon Orders, and Gold Dragon Orders.  The higher the level at which you accept the quest, the more EXP & SP you are rewarded upon completion and the better odds you have at a more valuable Dragon Order.  The rewards are as follows:

Dragon Orders are used for attaining legendary molds, mounts, or other items from the Dragon Herald NPC in any race's starting area.  To get the molds or other items you usually need many of these Dragon Orders (e.g., 50 copper and 30 silver).  The molds are used for crafting legendary armor (levels 40, 60, & 80), legendary weapons (level 50), and legendary ornaments (levels 31, 86, & 87).  These items are extremely powerful for their level, thus are quite valuable.  They are made from the Legendary Forges near General Summer in Southwest Archosaur, and require more materials than usual, including the blood items you get from doing FBs.

==Quest Names==
To get the Dragon Quest for each level you have to go talk to a Dragon Quest Director yourself, as no quest will appear in your quest list, except for the DQ20 quest.  The Dragon Quest Directors can be found in any of the race's starting areas.  The names of the seven Dragon Quests are:

{| style="background:#291a0e; text-align:center;" border="1" cellpadding="5"
!DQ Level
!Dragon Quest Name
|-
!20
|Chiu Niu
|-
!31
|Yatzu
|-
!41
|Chaofeng
|-
!51
|Pulao
|-
!61
|Suanni
|-
!71
|Pahsia
|-
!81
|Hsianchang
|-
!91
|Fu Chih
|}

The Various Dragon Quest levels are basically the same, except for the rewards (as described above), mobs to kill, and items used get higher level each time, and the locations tend to send you to higher level locations on the map.


==Sequence of Missions==
The things you need to do for each step in the Dragon Quests semi-random, except for the final stage for each level. There are 10 steps to each DQ in which you must travel to various NPCs across the map (mostly in the large cities).  Some NPCs will give you the next step for free, some will demand some number of Dragon Quest items, and some will give you an option of killing some number of creatures or paying to get to the next stage.  It will most likely cost you a hefty fee to do all the traveling, so it is usually best to do each stage when you happen to be in the area anyways.

Each Dragon Quest will show the ten steps with these names in the following order in your quest window:
{| style="background:#291a0e; text-align:center;" border="1" cellpadding="5"
!DQ Step
!Step Name
!Type

|free
|-
!8
|Dashing Dragons
|DQ item quest
|-
!9
|Dragon and Phoenix
|free
|-
!10
|Overwhelming Power
|final boss or bosses
|}


For a "DQ item quest" you will have to have some number of Dragon Quest items of that level.  For "kill mobs -or- pay fee" you will either have to kill some number of a specific monster or pay a fee to get past that quest.  It's recommended that you always kill the monsters for that type of Dragon Quest.  For the final stage you will have to kill some mobs or a final boss to complete the Dragon Quest.  And for "free" you just have to visit the NPC to proceed to the next step.

So, for example, when you complete "Dragon and Phoenix", your next mission will be the final step, "Overwhelming Power", where you kill the final boss or bosses for that Dragon Quest and get your rewards.


==Bosses==
Each level of Dragon Quest has a fixed boss or bosses for the final stage.  They are:

{| style="background:#291a0e; text-align:center;" border="1" cellpadding="5"

DQ20 is the only Dragonquest with 2 different bosses.
Starting at DQ31 all of the bosses are single elite class mobs that you have to kill.


==Dragon Quest Items==
For each level of Dragon Quest there are six items that may be needed to complete the DQ item quests of that level.  Those items are (in alphabetical order):

{| style="background:#291a0e; text-align:center;" border="1" cellpadding="5"

The "# Used" is the number of one of the items needed to complete one of the "DQ item quest" steps.  Since there are four DQ item quests per Dragon Quest, you will, for example, use up 80 DQ items to complete one full DQ71.

Dragon Quest items are fairly valuable and easy to collect, so most people just sell them to NPCs for coins.  If you plan on doing Dragon Quests you will instead want to save some of these items for when they are needed.


==Dragon Order Value==
So, how much are each of the Dragon Orders worth?  Well, it turns out some Dragon Quests are more cost effective than others.  Here's the breakdown of the "break even" value of the dragon orders, based on the number of Dragon Quest items used and the odds of each kind of Dragon Order:

{| style="background:#291a0e; text-align:center;" border="1" cellpadding="5"
!DQ Level
!DQ Items Spent
!Copper DO
!Silver DO
!Gold DO
|-
!20
|12,800
|12,800
|N/A

!31
|43,200

|}


This assumes that the value of a DO is inversely proportional to its rarity for each level.  Thus at DQ41 a Silver DO is only a 20% chance, so I assume it's worth 80% of the total cost for that level.  Again, these are "break even" numbers, so if you sold the Dragon Orders at these prices for those levels you would be making just as much as you are giving away in Dragon Quest items.  This does not include travel expenses or fees to get past step 4, and assumes you got all of the DQ items for free as drops.  You should add a percentage to these numbers if you plan on making a profit when selling them.

This means that if you want Copper Dragon Orders, for example, you're better off just doing DQ20 and DQ41.

Too confusing?  If you want the "break even" averages values based on the above:
:'''Copper Dragon Order''': 38,766 coins
:'''Silver Dragon Order''': 141,342 coins
:'''Gold Dragon Order''': 1,088,444 coins

Does this mean that you can sell them for these amounts plus some percentage for profit?  Well, maybe, maybe not.  Market demand will actually affect the relative value of the various Dragon Orders differently than the simple equation used above.  It is recommended that you check the Auction House at any Auctioneer (found in all major cities) to see what the current market prices are.  Use the filter "Other" -> "Dragon Orders" to find the items.

In my experience, the average numbers above are low for Copper and Silver, and about right for Gold.  This means that there's usually a better profit margin for Copper and Silver Dragon orders than for the Gold ones.

You might also check the prices on the various molds/items you can make with Dragon Orders to see if you get a better profit margin by turning the Dragon Orders into those molds or items, however due to their rarity you might not find any listed.

In any case, good luck and have fun Dragon Questing!  :-)
