Talk:How about a "What to expect in this quest" section?
<!I'm thinking of adding a "What to expect in this quest" section to Template:Quest. I made a list with (all) the different things you can find in quests and for each quest I can list the ones that are specific to that quest. The name of the section and the presentation of the list are not written in stone so they can be improved upon.
The general list looks like this:
- Traps (fixed or random)
- Puzzle (puzzle wheels, tile puzzles, light puzzles or special puzzles)
- Runes (mentioned only if they require stat checks)
- Protect/Escort an NPC
- Protect an object
- Quest items collection
- Chaos balls
- Overlapping floors
- Collapsible floors
- Timed quest
- Quest fails if more than N mobs of type Y die/are killed
- N levers/pressure plates must be used simultaneously
A few examples:
For Faithful Departed:
- Traps (fixed)
- Protect NPCs
- Quest fails if more than 2 Venerated die
For Xorian Cipher:
- Chaos balls
- Runes (optional)
- 4 pressure plates must be used simultaneously
- Traps (fixed)
- Collapsible floors
For Stormcleave Outpost:
- Quest items collection
- Rune (optional)
For Rainbow in the Dark:
- Traps (random)
- Collapsible floors
- Puzzles (special puzzles)
For Let Sleeping Dust Lie:
- Quest fails if more than 4 spiders are killed after the first book is picked up
- Protect NPC
- Traps (fixed)
- Puzzle (puzzle wheels)
Any thoughts?

- show me an example. go ahead and do so with one quest entry. make sure to make the new field optional with #if code though.→ yoko5000 02:21, April 20, 2010 (EDT)
- Alright take a look at Xorian Cipher. The idea behind the new section is to condensate in a few rows what later can be expanded in multiple paragraphs under Tips and Misc. [[Mjoll 06:33, April 20, 2010 (EDT)]]
