Quests

In Dark Souls Online (DSO), the majority of quests are formal requests for help or aid by any group or person. These are officiated and regulated by the Guild Hall of the town or city. The Guild Hall also generally collects the reward to be dispensed on succesful completion of a quest, from the quest giver, and deducts their fee accordingly. Thus the Guild Hall ensures a form of security for both the quest giver and taker by acting as the in-between, enforcing the terms and conditions laid out during the dealings.

Whenever a quest is issued at the Guild Hall by someone, the quest is first shown only to the GODs (Guilds Obeying Dieties) and is kept this way for a week. If none of the GODs pick up the quest during the week, it is sent to the public quest board and can be then picked up by anyone.

However, if the quest giver wishes to have his quest immediately available at the public quest board, they must pay a fine of 50 gold and the quest will be found at the public quest board at the next dawn, giving GODs a very limited time to take the quest instead.

Quests are generally tiered, in order of increasing difficulty, by Beginner, Intermediate and Expert tier. There also exists a fourth tier of quests requested by GODs, which has its own GOD Quest Board and usually relate to their guild activities or issues.

List of Unofficial Quests
In the case that quests are not passed through the hands of a Guild Hall, they are dubbed Unofficial Quests. And while they can be more lucrative or easier to request or accept, there is no governing body ensuring them. This means that either side of quest requester or accepter may betray the other, possibly resulting in fued, hostile actions, a prison sentence, or in the worst case, death.

Below are unofficial quests that have been or are being undertaken by the protagonists' party:
 * Setoo's Request: A request by the Half-elven merchant Setoo to have his enchanted saddle recovered from a point near a ruined fort where he was ambushed. Reward: 100gp. (COMPLETED)
