No, you can take any quests as long as your level is sufficed.
However, I was wondering about the scaling exp and g rewards for the higher level adventurers, so that they would have more motivation to accept lower level quests, instead of doing only their own quests.
Well, Liana's current motivation is just to do stuff in the city that can be done during the night.

Harrison - one of the city guard captains - most likely still won't let her do guard work, so that narrows the choices down even more.

However, I do wonder what benefits from doing the rank exam actually are...
...maybe earning a rank increases quest rewards overall?
I mean, that might be a good incentive to become a ranked adventurer.
I'm feeling like someone is trying to play with the fire here. Guess my Bottomline hasn't been challenged that much lately.
But, well, if anyone ever did the quest, then doesn't that mean you are essentially out of the game? You are stuck in Spire Reef and no one would probably role-play with you in the Tavern ( except those like me, of course ) because lots of us IC are goody-two-shoes.
You could probably get away with quest boards outside of Scribel City. Depends on if it made sense to you. Could also open a quest board in a different direction, etc.
The idea at least (for me), is to open up a variety of different play styles in all sorts of different kinds of ways.
With dozens of regions, there's probably ways to make exams and other features of each location unique.
I'd mostly like to avoid Rank exams to be: "Kill X" or "Kill Y" clones whether it's in Narnia or Wonderland or somewhere else -- so at least to me, it's important that different places have their different flavors.

Ah, I see.
I'll keep that in mind, then.
*imagines Liana stuck at level 5 but with excess exp due to not doing the rank exam for ages due to never leaving the city due to her sire's compulsion*

QUEST REPORT (NOT YET APPRAISED) Quest Report (36)
Name: Felicia El Freliti Level: 8 (7180/7200) Quest: Be my champion~! Evaluation:
Jakob surrendered
Was super boring
**********
For the first time in months, Felicia decided to take a trip back to Scribel. Although a little fed up with the dreary lifestyle in the mountains, where the pressure of war and death was ever present, the main reason she decided to head back was for Sable. It wasn't fair for her to be caged up all the time, she wanted her to be able to fly freely in the skies. There were some things she wanted to deal with back in the region anyway, as there had been recent rumours of rising gangs and organizations that she felt she should take a look at.
The wind rushed past invigoratingly as she rode atop Sable's back, flying freely in the clouds above Gelderholm. After playing around a bit and doing barrel rolls, the pair finally swerved down the mountains, towards the primarily grassland region that was Scribel. Although they were much faster flying through the air, they still had to camp in forests and the like for a few days before reaching the nostalgic city.
Scribel looked exactly the same as she remembered; quaint and peaceful, a stark contrast to Gelderholm. After spending half a day hunting with Sable and visiting Folke's family, she felt it was time to take a look at the newer quests in the tavern. After scanning through the guild-sponsored quests, and noting down the Slumber Jelly quest for later, a quest sponsored by an old acquaintance, the 'head' of the community service department here in Scribel, Julrik, caught her eye.
He's got himself in trouble once again huh. Felicia thought wryly as she remembered the friendly personality and fondness of women that fellow had. But, she did owe him a favour, and since no one had taken even one of the duels on his behalf, she decided the least she could do was help him out a bit. And before anyone gets any wild ideas, the favour she owed him was not promiscuous in any way, he simply took her to an expensive restaurant a while back. That was all. It's not like Felicia would have let him do anything anyway.
After scanning the list for an appropriate sparring partner, whilst deciding to abandon the optional reward of humiliating her opponent unless he deserved it, she randomly picked the elf archer since he didn't seem too hard to deal with. Naturally, he must have his ways to keep his distance from his opponents, but for an all rounder who prioritized swift melee attacks like herself she didn't think he'd be much trouble. Since he only recently achieved rank E, she had even less to worry about, as she was slowly approaching her rank D exam. Finalizing the quest application process, she leisurely spent the next few days relaxing in Scribel before her duel.
...
Donned in her usual leather armour and dark robes, Felicia stood with her blade unsheathed as she stared unwaveringly at her opponent. A tall elf wearing glasses glared vengefully back, his long angelic golden hair weaving through the evening breeze. His amber eyes blazed murkily with confusion, hatred and sorrow, and his bloodthirst seemed to falter as he looked at his opponent.
"..why do you defend him?" He hissed between gritted teeth.
"Because I owe him a favour." Felicia gazed back calmly, having already prepared herself for the mess of emotions her opponent would be in.
"He took the love of my life away from me! How can you stand on his side and not mine?!" He snapped, drawing his enchanted silverwood bow and aiming towards her head.
"Julrik does not steal, he takes what is not loyal and true." She responded icily with what she personally grew to know of the man. Although he may seem pushy and frivolous in his seduction, he knows when to not push any further. Afterall, that's why she wasn't assaulted that day in the restaurant despite being rather weak at that time.
Seemingly hitting his sore spot, he widened his eyes in rage and released the arrow, which was easily sidestepped by just stepping away.
"Why aren't you trying to kill me?" Felicia responded after a slight pause, severely doubting that all this rank E archer could do was send out a normal arrow.
"Hah.." He was once again shaken by her words, trembling before dropping his bow in exasperation. "I surrender. I haven't lost reason enough to kill everyone that gets in the way of my revenge. I just wanted to vent really." He sighed as his eyes wandered somewhere far away.
"Well you can vent right now, just without the killing part." Felicia offered, still just as ready for combat as she was when she first saw him. To be honest, she was a little miffed, she came here expecting a fun duel, not a heart to heart discussion!
"Haha, you're just like her, always wanting to get straight to the point without any dilly-dallying." He laughed wistfully as he moved his gaze towards her and away from the clouds. After a contemplative silence, he opened his mouth again.
"Say, would you be willing to go on a da-"
"Denied."
Mercilessly, she cut him off and walked away to make her report. She'd just have to unleash her frustrations when hunting with Sable later, damn, what a waste of her time...

You know, I kind of want Julrik to appraise his quest reports so he can personally thank those who take them...but he's an NPC...
...Dilemma...
Well, I'll do a freestyle rp/tavern post of his reaction instead.
(^-^)
Would anyone like to find representative artwork for:
Gelderholm
Spire Reef
??? What do people think? Do people like artwork to help set a mood on the quest board?
I've put up the tutorial quests for Spire Reef. Will probably get more quests up by tomorrow.
I've decided to group the quest board posts by rank (so entire regions are in spoilers)... because at this rate we will run out of reserved posts that I decided to save at the beginning.
@GDLiZy I hope you don't mind if I bump some of your quests around / edit them? I think I will raise some of the level 1 spire reef quests to level 2, and perhaps make some of them harsher because I think the pirates can be meaner to the deck wiper.
