Quests are separated into five categories and all have flat point values: General (4pts), Corsair (4pts), Paladin (4pts), Bounties (6pts), and Specials (12pts). Note: characters helping opposing armada quests will only be rewarded 2pts for participation unless specified otherwise. Special quests won't always be available so it may appear blank at most times. These can range from group quests such as for special ship upgrades or island related quests, or they could be special event quests. All quest points can be used for the Rewards Shop.
For this month's board update, the quests have been completely refreshed with brand new quests! Huh… Are things looking a little weird, kupo?
If you have any questions, comment to this entry.
My name? Molulu! And I'm super duper hungry! Could you pretty please find me some kupo nuts? They're these delightful little nutty things that taste just like... kupo nuts! If you could bring me oodles and oodles of them, I'd be over the moon! They'd fix all my tummy rumbly grumblies!
Dear Manta Manta. Oh no, my bath water is freezing! Help, please! Can you warm it up before I turn into a popsicle or a frozen prune? Pretty please with a cherry on top! Signed, Mogsy.
I'm Mugmug and I'm on a quest to find the rare and elusive Legendary Bag of Milk! Can you help me (Mugmug!) track one down? I need to know if it's real or just a legend!
Someone told me there's a special creature out there with a ruby stuck in its forehead! That sounds pretty ouchy, doesn't it? Can you help me find this fuzzy green creature and see if it's okay? -Moggie
I need help delivering all this mail... If I don't get it done soon, I might miss my very important third daily nap! Can you lend a hand? Oh, and I'm called Mognet!
We found some weird cats! They're so ferocious and keep wanting to fight with us. When we asked they hissed something about about a, "warrior's way." Are they warrior cats? They are very proud and smart!
We think they need to find new families. So, we want you to take one home! We made a list of who is available to take home! Treat them nicely, okay? Give them lots and lots of milk and cookies!
The cats below are available for adoption:

A nice old man with a bad back wanted this posting up... I guess we'll do that! Maybe it'll make his back feel better?
Emet-Selch is extending an open invitation to all manner of engineers to participate in the development of magitech, with the eventual goal of creating a ship engine based on schematics once held by Leroy Longbones. To begin with, participants need to create the tools and machinery needed to bring the engine to life. Blacksmiths, goldsmiths, and other relevant artisans are all welcome - you will need to collaborate with the engineers to make parts after all.
A warehouse/workshop will be rented out on Eltrut where everyone can gather to collaborate on this project as well as safely store their builds. There is to be strictly no in-fighting or theft. Whilst Emet-Selch will attempt to cover basic expenses, all volunteers should expect to bear some cost for materials etc.
Any interested parties are encouraged to apply at the rented warehouse turned workshop to begin engineering and creating the tools needed to create Escordvi’s first-ever ship engine. Since magitech has been developed from old lost relics of the old world it would be a good idea to bring any previously found relics to the workshop for further use. Start by creating forges, lifts, presses, conductors, metal and steel components and more.
Mogou really needs a haircut—Mogou's fur is getting way out of control! Or maybe a new fur color would be fun? Can you help trim Mogou's hair and give Mogou a fabulous new look?
I want to eat. I need something crunch-crunch-crunchy! I really want some shiny, pretty gemstones! Could you go exploring in the mountains and mines and bring me back as many delicious sparkly treasures as you can find? I would be soooo happy! Oh, I want to eat them! Eat! EAT! I want that big cronch!! EAT!!!! (His name is John.)
I need some baskets to carry all my precious kupo nuts! Could you weave me some amazing baskets so I can carry them in style? Pretty please, I want my kupo nuts to ride in the fanciest baskets ever! -Mogmi
Moogles to the rescue!! The demand for ice cream across the seas is at an all time high! And the need for more hands to deliver the delicious, frozen treat is required to meet that demand! So c'mon! Join a floating ice cream barge and brave the waves to deliver what the people want! Just beware, there are pirates out and actively seeking to attack the ice cream barges in order to take the contents for themselves!
Someone keeps stealing my flute and using it, can you shank them in the back and bring it back? Don't go alone! Here, take my knife to do it! Thank you! -Mogloo, the one with the big knife.
I'm Mene, and I want to be a pirate dragon! Can you make me an awesome dragon costume with big scales, giant fangs and wings, a huge tail, and ferocious fire? And a big feather hat! I'll be the fiercest pirate dragon ever! Yarrrr!!
I'm feeling super hungry... Could you make me some sweetcakes...? I'm pretty sure I could gobble up a hundred of them... Please whip up a mountain of sweetcakes for me... I'm Mogret...
We don't know! It keeps singing! Good King Moggle Mog! Good King Mog! Lord of all the land (Kupo!) Good King Moggle Mog! Good King Mog! Rules with iron hand! Please get rid of it! Fast! We're scared!

After receiving the pearls from Norhpip, and while still highly dangerous, ATNAM is still very eager to research the origins of the pearls, as well as the leviathans of yore. They are looking for anyone and everyone who might be willing to help to join them. While information on the pearls themselves are still a bit scarce, there are other leads that they encourage people to follow:
Archive Research.
The archives on both ATNAM and Elah are bountiful with books surrounding the leviathans—those from the Great Flood and younger—and they seek more information about them in order to better understand the pearls and their magic. However, they will find that the content on the Ancients in particular is very little, almost as if they have been scrubbed out of existence or locked away, with some books even missing pages on them. The stories that are available are legends passed down from those who witnessed the Great Flood, so they encourage people to dig further into that. Among all of these stories is one common theme: that there were nine great powers.(Note: while we do highly encourage players to discover and come up with their own stories, we wanted to make note that we already have details on the nine powers that will be revealed over time! However, we will still try to incorporate any fun discoveries that people make so you are free to come up with new potential leviathans even if they may not be related to the Ancients!)
Underwater Ruins.
There are some underwater ruins that they believe might hold some clues to the ancient leviathans. While treasures are scarce down there, there are clams that have made the temple their home, and they will sing songs in greeting to anyone who comes to visit. They will, however, not have answers for anyone asking questions and will instead slam their shells shut at those who try. Those who listen carefully to their songs may pick up some…interesting lyrics:Woe, woe, woe sing the Endless tidesThe most notable feature are the carvings on the walls, but they have been worn out by time and are near indecipherable. There is something that looks like a fish's tail, and is that squiggly line a snail's shell or a whirlpool? There are several walls where the carvings are covered and even whole walls that have been blackened by what seems to be oil... Weird.
Woe, woe, woe ring pride's demise
The blood red seas churn, the fires arise
Storms of hail and lightning tear the skies
Black is the rain that stains the land
Land split twain by shadow's dark hand
The ocean she mourns
The skies they cry
The sun, the moon, the stars
Into the darkness they hide
Hide, hide hide the sins of all
Die, die, die to hell they fall
Woe, woe, woe, sing the Endless tides…
Protect the Pearls.
For those who are less inclined to take on any research projects, ATNAM is also looking for any who might be more skilled in combat. No doubt there will be people who are keen to get their hands on such a magic, no matter how dangerous it might be. Report any suspicious activity around ATNAM headquarters, and most importantly, protect the clams holding the pearls at all costs! (Note: Players can make up NPCs for this, be they Corsair, Paladin, or unaffiliated. Characters are free to try stealing the pearls as well, but their attempts will be unsuccessful.)All questions and submissions should be made under this comment.
