Help Topic: Errands

Category: Gameplay -- This command cannot be used in combat.

Whether you have a dedicated job or not, you can accept errands from
people around most areas.

In order to see what errands you're doing, you can simply check ERRANDS.

Usage:
errands/quests

If someone offers you the chance to do an errand, you can refuse or
accept. Some errands involve rewards, but not all.

If you're at a loss as to how to complete an errand, checking ERRANDS
can give you some tips. You'll periodically receive tips as well. Some
errands have longer timeframes than others.

Errands can be resolved by SAYing a certain phrase, by being in a certain
location, by bringing another object to a certain location, by healing
someone, by cleaning a mess, by giving a number of certain types of
objects to someone, and so on and so forth.

More complicated errands have stages, and if you don't complete them
in the correct stages, then they might not progress.

Warning: if you have an item that is part of an errand, and you do not
complete the errand, a VNPC (virtual non player character) at some point
will retrieve the item from you. This will show up in your plot notes and
can happen when you are offline, so don't worry about completing errands
if you need to quit. There is no penalty for that.

However, if you are planning to hold onto a specific item for the sake of
a story, you will have to put it in a locked container. This signifies
you are planning to keep it no matter what a VNPC may request. Such a choice
may become a part of consequential story, and if the item is valuable,
the local guards will likely be alerted by the item's owner.
