Collection Tasks in the Frontiers that Reward Gold

The XP collection task system works well. What if there were collection tasks you could do in the frontiers and earn gold from them. They could work such that you can only turn in a handful per day. I can't even afford buff barrels at this point since I am that low on gold. I don't want daily quests forced on players, but this would give many players an easier way to farm some gold.

This would be something that a lot of players might enjoy as a way to help payoff their daily potion and crafting costs.

I agree that implementing some form of gold daily task would be useful.

I think it would need to be a daily/weekly quest so that it couldn't just be farmed to infinitum, but would perhaps boost the ability to generate gold.

That is a good point. It would be a daily or weekly presumably. There are tons of level 50+ mob packs in the frontiers that could be used for these collection quests.

I would love some sort of scavenger hunt tasks or something.

Maybe have a list of mobs that you need to hunt down and kill. Maybe even have it set up that there are several levels of scavenger hunt, you kill the basic and you hit lvl 1, then it opens up a higher one where you need a couple people to kill a higher couple of mobs, and maybe a 3rd level where you need close to a full group to kill a few different mobs. Each lvl can give a higher reward whether it is gold or whatever. Each level could be in a different zone and you could even set it up so that level 1 tasks require 2 people or less, level 2 task could be 5 people or less and level 3 could be full group or less, each one going to a different area.

This would also maybe get some action going in each area of similar group sizes.

I like having a goal to work too knowing something is waiting for me

Stop blending pve into PvP. Can have these tasks in pve zones.
This will be as bad of an idea as the craft tasks in PvP zones. If you want to PvP you go into PvP zones, if you want to pve you stay there and should not be forced to donate RPS to ppl who will just gank you....

Exactly. I like this idea. Having treasure chests spawn across the frontiers has also been discussed.

Hey pal not everybody wants to zerg in a task zone 24/7. It's nice to RvR in other frontiers and in other forms. The game is better when many frontier zones have activity, not just a single task zone.

And the are other ways to achieve this than putting free RPS as levelers or pve taskers. If you want easy RPS I think tasking is exactly what you want to do. Nothing wrong with that.

A lot of players struggle to fund the costs of RvR and everything else. Having collection tasks you could warn gold from would help many players and make the nontask frontiers more populated.

with how low the gold reward is for killing someone in pvp, I would agree that a quest like that would be welcome, even if its just (200-300g on completion) not only for more pvp action but also to pay for item recharging which is quite expensive compared to buffpotions, but I would prefer multiple spots I dont want a place like that to be a stealther camping ground or fgs farming there

They could be all over the frontiers, but be limited in terms of how many you can complete per day or week.

Having more quests in the frontiers would help make them more active.
