The storms and tides have blown in hundreds of crabs into the island of Crane City. They are crawling everywhere along the coastline, not afraid to pinch any stranger that treads too close (as crabs do), thus making the walkable areas of the beach no longer pedestrian-friendly. This is good news to nobody except the crab shacks dotting the shores.

The beach rangers are shorthanded both trying to harvest what crabs they can, and to return the excess crustaceans to the ocean to preserve the ecosystem. Questtakers will be armed with whatever can be scrounged up from around town, from nets to plastic buckets to cardboard shoeboxes for the truly desperate. Careful not to get pincered, it hurts like a b*tch!

REWARD: Crab legs for days in the OFF world. A mid-tier weapon in the ON world that functions as a bludgeon... probably. Some would argue it's actually a sword-type implement. It can be easily traded for daiya, but why would you not want one to keep in your inventory forever.

Popular seasonal web drama Summertime Sweet Exes currently filming at Gruidae University is in need of extra hands for the last episode of the season! Help is needed backstage (lighting, make-up, security for those hordes of obsessive fans, etc) and onstage (as extras or if you’re lucky(?) as last minute fill-ins for vital roles: jealous ex, weepy parental-in-law, long lost twin, reincarnated lover, etc).

And if you’re really feeling adventurous... well, it turns out that Director Changsub might have lost the script? Feel free to help rescue it from desperate fans opportunistic thieves, or slip into the director’s chair while he’s occupied and display your creative genius instead?

REWARD: A middling amount of cash and your name on the end screen credits in the OFF world. A one-use spell item in the ON world that will help hide the wearer from mid-level monster mobs.

There’s been a little competition in Innovation Hall to see who can build the best machine... for spring cleaning! Apparently the citizens of Avisle got a bit crazy and recently threw a big party(?). That’s definitely why the city is a complete mess, it definitely has nothing to do with an apocalyptic storm(?).

Anyhow, everyone in Duocaeli knows a little magic goes a long way, but unfortunately the spirit of rivalry has gotten out of hand. One of teams has accidentally built and unleashed an absolute cleaning unit, an enormous disc-like contraption that has gone mad with cleaning power. It will not stop cleaning and is completely unresponsive to its programmed controls. While the streets are definitely getting cleaner, the bot is also sucking up installations such as lamp posts and perfectly serviceable benches that have been merely tipped over during the “partying” prior. It may also scan your character and identify them as a Mess, and attempt to smother them under its rotating tread.

The machine needs to be stopped for the safety of the city and its citizens. Players may attempt to dismantle the machine but will find many of their spells and weapons being vacuumed up into the monstrosity—within a limited range of effect. Players may also try to corral the roomba towards areas of actual rubble! Once the contraption has expended its cleaning fury it will eventually die down (this may take literally all day).

REWARD: A generous sum of daiya for your troubles and a 1:100(?) scale model of the evil roomba you just put down. It doesn’t actually clean because it’s just a display piece, help.

FAILURE: If your character gets run over by the roomba they will be actually pancaked, i.e. they will appear as flat as a sheet of paper for 2 hours. They can still walk around but will find interacting with other objects incredibly difficult, if not impossible. Thankfully it isn’t painful, just embarrassing.

Gardener Lila is set on helping her former husband, Luno, move on, and she knows just the way to do it. She's requesting photos of beautiful people in Avisle City that she can show Luno to encourage him to get excited about love again. Lila will be providing a polaroid camera, and the photos should ideally come with the consent of the person being photographed, but... she's not about to judge.

In order to ensure that she only receives photographs of the most beautiful people, she's cast an enchantment on the camera that will rank their physical appearance on a scale of 10 on the polaroid once it's printed. Rank based on what scale, you ask? Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! You don't necessarily need to share that information with whomever you photograph though.

REWARD: A polaroid camera (enchantment not included), and a potion that makes one person friendlier for one hour.
