Public Quests

 * 09:00 - 22:00 Daily

Public Quests are a new feature in the Rising Tide expansion. They are massive, server-wide quests involving all players in a particular zone, and reward players based on their contribution to the objectives.

If you are at least level 60, you can take the first Public Quest from Pioneer Officer Windshaker at Rotflesh Trench. The other two Public Quests require level 95, and can be received from Scout Captain Rupin at the Blunted Lance Stand or the Tsunami Army Messenger at Shadowtide Camp.

The Public Quests are made up of several parts, and require you to kill a large number of monsters, complete non-combat objectives such as gathering stolen supplies, and finally defeat the leaders of the enemy forces, a task that will require a well-prepared squad to complete. When you receive the quest from the quest giver, you will join whichever quest stage is currently active. The actions of all players on these quests contribute to the total, regardless of whether or not you are in a squad together.

When one quest phase is completed, it will automatically complete and all involved players will receive the next quest. All contributions towards the quest goals are tallied by the server, and can be viewed by clicking the scroll icon on the quest tracking overlay. The rankings are updated approximately once per minute.

Once the final objective of the Public Quest has been completed, the server will take a few minutes to calculate the final rankings and then automatically assigns rewards accordingly. Make sure you have inventory slots open, as you will not be able to acquire your reward if you have insufficient space.

Two minutes after the rewards are given out, the Public Quest will restart. You must stay on Shattered Cloud Island for the entire duration of the quest, or you will fail the quest, lose your ranking, and become ineligible for rewards.

Marriage Quest
Marriage Quests are brand new set of daily quests for couples to explore and adventure together! The prerequisites for the quests are as follows:
 * 1 Married Couple in the same squad (no other members allowed).
 * The squad leader speaks to the Matchmaker Servant in Archosaur (Next to the Eldest Matchmaker).
 * The couple will receive 1 random quest (out of 7) to do each day. Rewards include Experience and Spirit, Sweet Memory tokens that can be saved up for a mysterious ring pendant, and a Sincerity Pack that has a chance to win a Baby Crab, Fish, or Lochmur All-Class pet egg!

Characters must be married in order to open the Sincerity Pack.

Account Stash
Players now have the ability to transfer items and coins between characters on the same account and server with the purchase of an Account Stash Stone. After obtaining the Account Stash Stone, speak to the PW Boutique Agent -> Quest Related. Activate the Account Stash and then speak to the Banker. He will now have an option labeled Account Stash. Drag and drop items, or drop coins in just like a normal Bank

Some items cannot be exchanged between characters.
