Guardians Quests

Limit to avoid long lists, and link to the full list with 50 elements per page.

SMW offers Concept pages. They look very much like category pages, but display the result of a semantic query. Examples are Concept:Guardian Quests and Concept:Defiant Quests. Concepts don't show any other information apart from the page name.

Quest list per NPC

Testing some queries to replace the hard-coded list of quests in the NPC template. The default appears if no quests were found, intro is prepended if the list is not empty.

Quests of Sylver Valis

Name is involved in the following quests.

Quest Name	Level	Zone	Area
Born Again	1	Terminus	Life Factory
Ascended of the Highest Quality	1	Terminus	Life Factory
Sylver's Experiments	15	Freemarch	Meridian
The Means of the Endless	20	Freemarch	Meridian
The WAD	50	Meridian
Securing Source	50	Meridian
Powers of Life and Air	50	Meridian

Quests of Little Lord Fauntleroy

Name is not involved in any quests.

Problems with involved NPCs

One problem might be to distinguish between "xx is involved" and "xx gives the quest". If NPC A gives a quest which says "talk to NPC B", then this quest will also show up in the list of quests of B (which might or might not be desired). Maybe a special property "Issued by" used once on every quest page? Is it possible to stack properties as in [[Provided by::Name::Some NPC]]? edit: YES! [1]

It would then be possible to have

• "this NPC offers the following quests" by

{{#ask: [[Quest:+]] [[Provided by::XXX]]}}

• "this NPC is additionally involved in those quests" (excluding the former) by

{{#ask: [[Quest:+]] [[Name::XXX]] [[Provided by::!XXX]]}}

• the name of the issuer can be added to the table of quests per location

Quest dependency

Also a "Requires" property can be added. Quest X [[Requires::Quest:Y]] which is directly used for the list of required quests on Quest:X. The list of back-references for quests depending on Quest:Y however is automatically generated with {{#ask:[[Requires::Quest:Y]]}} (which reduces the manual management effort of maintaining and synchronizing both lists).

This can also be used for recipes requiring components. --Mardur 08:58, 3 February 2011 (CST)
