**Help Us Help You:** We need accurate information to provide the best opportunities and deliver the quests you're looking for. Make sure you keep `#server-statistics` up to date as you join and complete quests!
### Summary 1. Prepare 1. Make sure your `#server-statistics` is up to date 2. Wait for new quests (a day before the 1st or 15th) 2. Selecting Quests 1. Read through the quest write-ups 2. React with your ,, and  choices 3. Mark *additional* quests with a 👍 4. Wait for the announcement! 3. Joining the Quest 1. Update your `#server-statistics` 2. React to the prescribed role in `#adventuring-information` 3. Enjoy the fun! ### Selecting Quests Getting in a quest on a priority basis for both the players and the quest. This means you can select the quests you are most interested in joining, and then our patented selection process finds the perfect match for everyone. New quests appear on `#quest-board` a day or two before they start, and will include a ~24 hour period to make selections. Find the quests that seem most interesting to you and that is appropriate for your level. Pick your favorite quests by considering the description, DM time zone, difficulty, and speed. Once you have picked the quests you are interested in, sort them by your first, second, and third favorite selections. For these quests, you will add a single reaction for ,, and  for the respective quest posts. You can only pick one each, so rank carefully! If there are any other quests not in your top 3 that you qualify for and wouldn't mind joining, drop a 👍 on those quests. These will be the fallbacks in the worst case scenario where you don't get your top 3 (which is exceedingly rare to have never happened).**Note**: The quest priority selection system [uses a method](https://macguffins.org/books/3-slightly-technical-stuff/page/how-are-quests-assigned "How Are Quests Assigned?") which is designed to be most fair to all players, provided players give their honest opinions on their quest priorities. Don't worry about the number of people interested in a quest or try to work around the system. Just give your true feelings of your choices and we'll figure the rest out for you!
### Joining the Quest Quests slots are divvied out according to the desires of the players and needs of the quests. Once this is done, an announcement is made denoting the quest, the channel, and who is in the quest. Head to `#adventuring-information` and select the reaction to get the role for the quest you were assigned. The RP, OOC, and dice channel will appear in your channel list. Head over and say hello! ## Engaging in Quests ### Taking Actions Please be as concise as possible in your action descriptions and label targets clearly. - All commands surround the words on both sides. - HP should be listed at end of action. > **HP 19/44** - All actions (attacks/checks/saves) should be bold. > **Scorching Ray, Rapier, 18 Perception, 13 Con Save** - Moves should be underlined > (Forward 10ft). - If a map is used state grid you can also include the grid position (C15) - Example Action: > *Ivy moves forward 15ft (C15), and focuses while speaking the incantation to a spell, **Scorching Ray (17 To Hit/11 Damage)** firing the magic at the enemy creature (Skeleton1).* **HP: 19/44** - For these neat effects type the following symbols on either side of your text: - Bold \*\* - Underline \_\_ - Italics \* - Avrae `` - Make sure to tag the next person. ### Completing Quests 1.

Maybe they have a bit of backstory that want to deal with, maybe they just want to hunt a specific beast or maybe they want to develop their backstory. You can let the DM's know what they want. Head over to `#request-board` and use the form below to submit a request. > \*\*Name:\*\* <Character name> > \*\*Goal Type:\*\* <Monster Hunt/Information Gathering/Rumor Spreading/Spirit Quest/etc.> (You can choose multiple types if you don't think it fits in just one.) > \*\*Goal Description:\*\* <I want to find my long lost father.> (This description should be of the end goal, not of the process to achieve that goal.) > \*\*Active Hours|Timezone:\*\* <5-11PM> | <GMT -6> Our friendly DMs will see the request and can offer to help design and adventure for you (and maybe a small group of friends!)
