Arena talk:Random Quests

Save the Princess

I know about another Random Quest, but I'm not too sure about all the details involved in the quest. It's a "Save the Princess" quest. You have to talk to a King/Queen of a city or town and they will tell you that their daughter has been kidnapped. You have a month(?) to rescue her from the clutches of a monster in a dungeon. You then have to go to the dungeon and find the daughter. When you find her, just double-click on her and her face will appear in the top-left corner of the screen. You then have to take her back to her parents for the reward. The things I'm not too sure about are:

• Is it always a daughter, or can it be a son too?
  • Random relative. Second cousins, too. - CIM
• When I did this quest, the daughter was kidnapped by a Fire Daemon. Are all the kidnappers Fire Daemons or are there other monsters that kidnap the princesses?
  • It's a random creature. I've had everything from Hell Hound to Vampire. Fortunately you don't need to kill them to finish the quest. - CIM
• I can't exactly remember the amount of time you are allowed to finish these quests. AlcaeusTheWizard 16:41, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

Capture the Criminal

Just realized that there isn't a "Capture the Criminal" quest on this page. This quest involves capturing a criminal (obviously). The King/Queen of a city will ask you to retrieve a criminal from a certain dungeon (the dungeon should have the same name as the criminal). When you find this guy, attack him and he will fall. He won't actually die. You now have to escort him back to the King/Queen who gave you the quest. They will then give you the reward.

I'm not too sure about the amount of time you are allowed to finish these quests. AlcaeusTheWizard 16:41, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

I went ahead and added the 'capture a criminal' quest type based on the information you gathered. I think the 'Save the Princess' quest type should be added too but not until more information is gathered. Although you do have some good information on it, there are just a few more small facts needed before it should be added. Also I don't think the princess is always captured by a fire daemon- I think it's just a random, strong creature that captures her.--Willyhead^/t 16:11, 3 June 2008 (EDT)

Level 15

When it says you have to be level 15 for goblins and rats to be in citys, i have been attacked (but have killed with ease) by lizard men, rats, goblins, and other people while i was only a level 3 (just after i got out of the sewers) — Unsigned comment by 121.73.77.131 (talk) at 16:51 on September 18, 2011

It says that you don't encounter golems in towns before level 15. Kitkat xxx ^{•Talk•Contrib•E-mail} 21:59, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Quests not even mentioned

There are 3 random quests not even mentioned in the article:

kill monster ( go to a dungeon and kill a monster, got this from lorD), delivery for lord, rescue for lord

Possible other quests plus one quest related question

While reading text files of Arena (http://www.dyk.pl/content/pc/arena/TEMPLATE.DAT), I found the text for two quests which I never got while playing (I am on level 23). They would include protecting a palace from enemies (#0007) and protecting somebody inside inn (#0089). Is it possible to get these quests?

Also, at level 23, I can't find any quests in taverns. Is there possibly some upper limit on which level player can get it.78.2.92.138 22:29, 3 February 2013 (GMT)

No, not without hacking at least. These are unused quests

Quests not leaving journal

Solved a delivery quest but it is still in journal. Is it OK? — Unsigned comment by 83.220.181.66 (talk) at 16:05 on 27 March 2015 (GMT)

Yes, this is normal behavior (cannot believe I am replying to something of almost 10 years ago.) TheSeldomConsitentEditor (talk) 07:05, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Not enough time

I went on a palace quest, needed to go to a dungeon and be back at 4th of heartfire, got back at 10 and failed the quest. However, I went to the dungeon right away. Should this sort of stuff be added to the page? TheSeldomConsitentEditor (talk) 19:31, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Page's name

WHy is the page called Random quests, not side quests? TheSeldomConsitentEditor (talk) 21:08, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
