    I actually never completed the last part because I didn't care about fame, so I went back and completed it just now and it looks like you're correct. It's weird though, because when you talk to the NPC it says the reward is 11 fame, but then you just get 500k exp. I guess the quest might be bugged, so I'll submit a bug report and update the guide to reflect this. Thanks for finding this!

    Here's proof of the quest reward according to the NPC and what you actually receive.

    This thread is seriously underrated! Thank you for putting it together!

    I want to add a few quests to that list from lv 35-50 range:

    Rowen and the Cursed Doll (Requires Mr. Wetbottom's playboy book preq, tedious but a lot of EXP!) https://bbb.hidden-street.net/quest/victoria-island/rowen-the-fairy-and-the-cursed-dolls
    The Antidote (Rowen Quest 2.0 also decent EXP!) https://bbb.hidden-street.net/quest/ludus-lake/the-antidote
    The Revolutionary Plan for Constructing a Wall (Time-limited <30 minutes) https://bbb.hidden-street.net/quest...tionary-plan-for-constructing-defensive-walls

    Shumi's coin quest at lv 20 gives 6000 base (before royals 3.2x exp), instead of 1600 EXP.

    Thanks for finding this! I just tested the New Leaf City Quiz, and while it says Over Level 20, I was able to accept it on a level 17 character.[​IMG]

    As for Shumi's Coin, I'll update that right now.

    Do you know when it was nerfed? Because that quest is from the original quests worth doing guide which was written in 2017.

    Sure lemme dig it up, it was late 2020. I'll edit it to this post when I find it.

    EDIT: Hmm I couldn't find it in late 2020, memory served me wrong. Though I do remember even asking Gert why is was nerfed :S (maybe it was Gert telling me the level is 20 to get the quest). I could only find the nerf from late 2017 during new source, but can't find if it was changed again.

    Interesting... I guess for now I'm just going to leave it as level requirement: 15 because for all intents and purposes, you can get it by then. If it ever gets fixed, then I can update the guide.

    minor nitpick, but is it possible to update the list with the region the quest is in?
    e.g.

    DANGER! <1-G. Mushroom> (Sleepywood)

    Avoiding talk to "A Familiar Lady" after you killed Nine-Tailed Fox, else you will be rewarding 10 fame instead of 15 fame... not to mention she will steal away your old fox's tail as well... and will need to redo the quest...

    btw, Nice guide for newbie =D have fun guys

    10/10 guide!
    Just a side note:
    In order to activate Muirhat(myboi!) quest line , you have to click on the Rubbish Bin near to Muirhat and complete some prequest so only you could start the stone golem and other Muirhat’s quest!

    Fyi, pretty sure I've completed the entire magatia questline up to For Phyllia/For Zemunist/For Alcadno. It works and is one of the best questlines in the game!
