[attr="class","link-title"]QUESTS, RAIDS AND LABYRINTHS

[attr="class","link-text"]

[attr="class","link-text2"]Like in most MMOs, quests are a staple of Sword Art Online! However, we also have some other special type of player events. Labyrinths and Raids also play a major role in the game. In this thread, you'll read about quests, raids and labyrinths.

[attr="class","link-title"]QUESTS

[attr="class","link-text"]

[attr="class","link-text2"]
Our quests work fairly easily. You go to this board here, where you will find all currently available quests. These quests will rotate on a bi monthly basis, so there will always be something new there for you to grab. Some quests may appear again, others may not. You may not do the same quest twice unless you're helping someone who hasn't done it.

Once you find a quest you want to do, simply make a thread and do it according to the guidelines given by the quest. Quests cannot be completed alone. You require a party of at least two people. Please follow the posting guidelines for the site and for the quest completion.

LEVEL 1: F (5 posts from every party member)
LEVEL 2-10: E (5 posts from every party member)
LEVEL 11-20: D (10 posts from every party member)
LEVEL 21-40: C (10 posts from every party member)
LEVEL 41-60: B (10 posts from every party member)
LEVEL 61-80: A (15 posts from every party member)
LEVEL 81-100: S (20 posts from every party member)

Once you're finished, you can post here to claim your reward. The rewards vary based on levels and staff discretion, but you can find a general gist of what you'll be getting below:

[attr="class","link-title"]LABYRINTHS

[attr="class","link-text"]

[attr="class","link-text2"]Like any other MMO, Sword Art Online has special challenges hidden throughout the world known as Dungeons. Unlike in other MMOs, the Dungeons in Sword Art Online hold special meaning as they must be completed to go further in the game. These dungeons have several different possible rewards that vary but have chances at rare or larger rewards than quests. Sword Art Online holds two types of dungeons.

LABYRINTHS: These are the large tower like structures that connect each floor of Aincrad to each other. Entering one alone is a death sentence unless you're an incredibly skilled player. Even then, caution must be taken. These large towers can have five to fifty floors. They are made of mazes with difficult winding paths, traps, hidden rooms and dead ends. At the end of each labyrinth, a large boss room will wait. These bosses can vary in difficulty from almost too easy to some of the strongest creatures in video game history. Many Labyrinths are protected by a large field boss that must be defeated before the labyrinth can even be accessed.

SUB DUNGEONS: These dungeons are smaller mazes and areas hidden throughout the Sword Art Online world. As these dungeons aren't important for the clearing of the game, many higher level players only clear them for gear or experience. Sub Dungeons can vary drastically and appear sporadically in the game.

So now that we know our two types of dungeons, let's go over Dungeon Rules.

Please read the specific dungeon information thread located in each dungeon board.
Dungeons cannot have closed threads.
All dungeon threads are open to staff intervention.
Please make it very clear who is in whose party as this will effect rewards.
There is no posting order in dungeons. You do not have to wait for others to post, but you cannot double post.
In Labyrinths you cannot claim to have found the boss room. If a party finds a boss room, they will be notified by staff.
Once your party has met the requirements of the dungeon or has gone as far as they are willing to go and have safely returned to the entrance, post in the quest update thread for any rewards your characters may have gotten in the dungeon or labyrinth.

[attr="class","link-title"]RAIDS

[attr="class","link-text"]

[attr="class","link-text2"]
Raids are a special type of Quest and Event that occur when a minimum number of players gather to do battle with a Field Boss or Labyrinth Boss. Whenever a Raid becomes available, it will appear in the quest board for members to sign up at. Each Raid can vary in size and difficulty. Each Raid will have a minimum and a recommended number of players along with levels.

Raids will vary between each other, but here are some important things to remember:

All raids are death enabled. This means if your character charges the boss alone when it is at full health, your character may die.
All raid bosses have stats like all players do. They will not be made public until the raid begins.
Bosses will not chase players outside of the boss room.
Like with Labyrinths and Dungeons, there is no posting order.
Labyrinth Boss Raids will only be activated once the boss room is found.
Field Boss Raids will be open upon entering a new floor with one present.
Remember to use common sense. Just because a Raid is up there doesn't meant your characters are ready for the challenge.
