It's dead simple to create quest guides thanks to some template voodoo
Requirements
- Name of the quest
- If the quest description could be ambiguous suffix the page title with (Quest)
- The quest giver (questor)
- Suggested level range for the quest
- If you know the steps required to complete then then create steps (shown below)
- If you know the rewards for the quest put them in a rewards block
- Apply the Quest category
- Apply the category for the area the quest is given in
Nice-to-Have's
- Provide notes for the steps detailing what the player has to do (push the stone, use the wand on the door, etc.)
- Directions or nearby landmarks would be nice
Markup
The Header
The header is the first part of a quest article and looks like this (Example taken from: Quest:Red demon hide
{{QuestHeader |quest=Helped Lojban |questor=Lojban |level=1-2 |repeatable=yes }}
Let's detail the different parameters:
- quest - Required - This is the name of the quest
- questor - Required - Mob that hands out the quest
- level - Required - Suggested level range for the quest
Steps
Steps hopefully are the bulk of the article and are equally easy to make
{{QuestStep |step=1 |area=The Grassy Field |items=a piece of red demon hide |hints=Kill the red-skinned imps for the hide }}
Properties:
- step - Required - Sequence number for the step (I can't generate these programatically so just follow along
- area - Required - The area this step takes place in
- items - Required if appropriate - Any items that the player may need for this step in the quest (a key, a potion, etc.)
- hints - Optional, any additional info you can give to help with this step of the quest
Rewards
And the last part of your quest guide
{{QuestRewards| Leveled Exp, Leveled Gold|notes=Any notes here, repeatable, holiday event, etc.}}
Simply invoke the template with the only argument being a description of the rewards for the quest.
