STANDARD OF SERVICE

STANDARD OF SERVICE, an errand in Ada's Trail

STANDARD OF SERVICE is an errand THE CONCIERGE hands out on THE BUNKER, and it wants 4 SUITE FOBs brought back.

The housekeeping units have collected the suite fobs and will not surrender them, and a residence without fobs is not a residence — a distinction the concierge maintains four years after it last served anybody anything. It observes, unprompted, that the doors only lock from outside.

  • ONLY WHILE IT IS LIVEthe pieces exist for the errand and nothing else — they drop once it has been accepted and the tally is still short, and they are handed over at the turn-in.

STANDARD OF SERVICE — on THE BUNKER.

What it pays

Handing it in pays experience, 160 coins and 1 rolled piece.

The experience is authored as a SHARE of your own level bar — 0.5 of one — rather than as a figure, so the same errand is worth the same fraction of a level on the first map and the last. The table below is what that comes to for a hero at the level this venue is tuned for; take it later and it pays more.

The rolled piece goes through the ordinary drop pipeline at your own level, with 1 tier of skew on the rarity roll — the same skew the merchant's stall takes. A quest is a second CALLER of the loot system, never a second loot system, so what it hands over is the same kind of thing a monster drops.

The chain

Opens THE GUEST LIST.

A chain never crosses a map or a run: the quest log belongs to the run you are in rather than to the hero, so every link of one is taken, done and handed in on a single visit, from the same person.

What is said
