My 2 cents on Side Quests

Not exactly a critical aspect of the game, but I just want to call out how tedious, boring and unrewarding the Side Quests have become.

I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a side quest. The last two Chrono-verse (?) were particularly sub par and I think I only completed one path.

This month again is just awful:
> Earn points by using saga champs to get a key
> Use that key to do one quest with trash rewards to earn another key
> Use that second key to do another quest with more trash rewards

The Traders Outpost is just rubbish. Limited items that on a monthly basis, get you nothing worth shouting about. Just a small top up on items you are getting more of elsewhere.

Side Quests used to be simple and rewarding, with decent chase items per path that were also worth completing 100%.

Please have a look the design and rewards structure of side quests Kabam. They really need some love.

    Enjoyed SQ ?? Not every content meant to be enjoyed like Arena - nobody enjoy doing it but it gives good value reward 🤷
    Sq gives Mysterium - no other way to get

    That mysterium shop is enough to kill any excitement in SQ

    Thankfully we have war showcase and Thanos Necro thing to go by for a while.

    Absolutely, so much other fun content to do.

    Since I returned to the game in October, after a break of 2 years, I haven't played a SQ yet..

    You can see how bad SQ has become!

    rewards can always be adjusted but the SQ should be kept as simple as possible imo. there's already enough in the game.

    the only way to fix the rewards are separate the damn reward pools for paragons and valiants.

    Do you mean in another format other than the Traders Outpost? Or is that the same for both?

    Agree 100% I went from almost always doing EQ and SQ to maybe doing 1 week or so of SQ if it fits into my schedule. It’s unexciting content with meh rewards. I mean if I need a little more of something to get the next crystal or rank up it’s nice it’s there but I’m not logging in just to do it and I used to.

    They are not the same for both. Paragons only can get 1/2 of a t6b or t3a in that top bundle, and everything else is fewer shards etc

    Thank you for this. I was wondering how to do the side quests this time. Back for my monthly dose of mediocre rewards, yay!

    This format is so dumb. KABAM clearly don't know what the word SIMPLE means...... sigh. 😑

    More content that I won't be wasting my time with this month. Thanks for making my choice easy KABAM!!!!! :D

    The only thing interesting is the 1k 7* shards. You have to do fights with saga champs to get kimoyo beads, them use the beads to enter mission to get mysterium and and a key, then use the key to open a path in another mission that only has 1k 7* shards which you can only claim once per week, besides that there's 1k (practically nothing) t4a shards, and on top of that, the Trader's Outpost is dead after you buy all the t6b, t4a, gold and 7* shards and it take a whole week to refresh

    I thought the mysterium concept was interesting when it was first introduced, but not a fan of the trader's outpost in its current state. If it was a store laid out similar to Battlegrounds store, I feel it would be better. But then we would have an additional store that I'm not sure we need. I believe Crashed said in a live stream a couple months ago to expect a drastic change to EQ coming the beginning of 2025. Hopefully that includes SQ.

    I meant SQ rewards and solo event, not outpost.


    its maxed at paragon.

    The worst part is that you cant be in main\event\daily quest and Side quest at the same time.
    I have enough characters to make quick auto daily for potions while being stuck in the hard side or 5-energy event where manual battle is required

    Didn’t they announce somewhere last year that they now have the engine to let us be in two quests simultaneously? What happened after that ?

    Pretty sure that will be reserved for Everest type content. So far only been available for Crucible

    What's so complicated about the Side Quests? You spin the Wheel of Mayhem to go up the Ladder of Chance. You go past the Mud Hut, through the Rainbow Ring to get to the Golden Monkey, you yank his tail and boom - you're in Paradise Pond!

    Oh no...wait...that's Bamboozled!

    Oh you yank the tail. That’s where I messed up.
