Types Of Quests

Quests
The quests of 9Dragons can be easily found by investigating the [!] and [?] marks on the mini-map. The following are types of Quests that will be offered from various NPC’s (Non-Player Characters) throughout The Land:

Road to The Dragon
The Road to The Dragon is a journey that can transform you into a true warrior and leader of your clan.

These are the main storyline quests of 9Dragons. They usually begin with an order from a ranking NPC disciple of a clan, and you will often receive a higher rank in the clan as a reward.

Road to Enlightenment
These are quests that shall honestly reveal one's deepest motives to one's own inner self.

Basic quests of 9Dragons. You may receive these quests at all levels.

Road to Karma
These quests effect the core nature of your relationship with The Land and those who dwell within it.

You receive one new Road to Karma quest every six Cheng (levels) after you reach level 25. These are typically a series of three to five quests that are somehow inter-connected, and they usually bring the best rewards.

Road to Fate
The Buddha preached that all life is one, and these quests explore how all life in The Land may interact through you to affect your ultimate destiny.

Heroic Episodes
These quests allow you to test your newfound skills and gain fame throughout The Land.

While other quests can be completed only once, you may repeat these types of quests over and over again.

Ranking Quests
In these quests you are actually in competition against others in The Land to see who can handle the mission the most thoroughly; how quickly you can deliver an item or how many monsters you can defeat.

Party Quests
Available to a Party Leader, these quests are done cooperatively by all party members. Some Party Quests are also Ranking Quests.

Collection Quests
You may obtain a fine reward by heeding the request of certain NPC’s who enjoy collecting things for a living. They will typically ask you to collect from three to twenty specific Items.

There are two different types of basic collections:

Resource Collection: You may visit a Resource Merchant to exchange lower-graded resource items into higher-graded ones. Different resource merchants exchange different resource items: One merchant may upgrade several primary resources into a secondary one, while another merchant exchanges several secondary resources into a prize that is highly sought after.

Collectibles Collection: A collector may request many strange and obscure collectible items for his collection. These Collection Quests are not repeatable, and you automatically keep a log of the collections you have finished and those still in progress in your Character Window. While you need not revisit the collector to finish the collection, you will need to meet him again to claim the reward.

Roles

Upon founding Sacred Flower, The Mistress of Chaos imbued her occult knowledge upon four chosen disciples, and granted them each a new title: Mistress of War, to wield her aggressive double wheels; Mistress of Heaven, to assist her with incantations and defend her with daggers; Mistress of Spirit, to wield enchantments confounding their opponents, and Mistress of Cloud, who would know all of these arts, lest The Mistress herself should fall. All Sacred Flower disciples must choose the path of one of these four leaders.

Mistress of War
Mistresses of War are imbued with the aggressive nature of the Holy Mistress, and will step forward in battle as bravely as any man. They train with the deadly Flying Wheel and Butterfly Wheel combat techniques, and may also become proficient with charms of Enchanting Spirits to confound their opponents.
* Because Life is of paramount importance, Constitution is their most important concern. Essence is harder to develop for them, and Wisdom is not as important as other attributes.

Mistress of Heaven
The wisest among the first four disciples was the Mistress of Heaven, who was taught all that The Holy Mistress knew of the true nature of The Land. Disciples on her path learn quick Dagger Techniques and Blessing Arts of the Mistress. They also learn Summoning Spirits to protect others and Heavenly Spirits to fortify themselves.
* Essence and Wisdom are key for this role. Constitution is harder to develop for them.

Mistress of Cloud
Self-sufficiency was perhaps the greatest gift The Holy Mistress wished to offer the women of The Land. In supplication, Cloud disciples learn a degree of each of the clan's combined martial arts. They practice Dagger Techniques, Arts of the Mistress, Fortifying Chi Kung of Heavenly Spirits, and learn to cast devastating ranged blasts of Yin Energy Freezing Spirit.
* They emphasize Constitution and Essence, and use Kung Fu for offense and Chi Kung for defensive with equal skill. Wisdom is harder for them to develop.

Mistress of Spirit
Mistresses of Spirit are said to be capable of casting enchantments upon an opponent's very soul, using The Art of Enchanting Spirits. This is a powerful system of Chi Kung that combines Sonic Arts with The Holy Mistresses' Divine Sorcery. Spirits also learn offensive Kung Fu Palm Techniques of Freezing Spirits and protective Chi Kung of Summoning Spirits.
* They place emphasis on Essence and Wisdom. Strength is harder for them to develop, and they are ill-suited to melee combat.

Sacred Flower Overview

Affiliation:
Black Clan (has covert disciples entrenched everywhere).

Clan Headquarters:
Cavernous Lair in the mountainous of Shanxi Province.

Current Leader:
Enchanting Soul, Matriarch of Sacred Flower.

Lost Dragon:
The Mistress of Chaos.

Weapon:
The Mistress of Chaos uses an assassin's knife. Wheels.

Kung Fu Style:
The female disciples of Sacred Flower overcome their male opponents' raw physical power by using illusion, poisons, venoms and long-distance attacks whenever possible. Flying wheels, throwing stars and daggers are preferred weapons over swords, poles and sabers. Summoning Arts and Soul Siphoning arts are two of the more arcane martial arts of Sacred Flower.

Location:
Rumor has it that somewhere in the mountains of Shanxi Province, there is a secret cave entrance covered in purple mist. Hunters whisper that this is the lair of Sacred Flower, a clan of beautiful, deadly, female masters.

Clan Overview:
The Sacred Flower Clan was founded by a legendary female warrior, The Mistress of Chaos, when she was denied entrance to the male-dominated Shaolin Temple. It is said that, “From every action comes an opposite reaction,” and from that act of discrimination rose a clan of beautiful, deadly, female masters. Their motto: “If men rule the world, women must rule men!” These women know they are not equally matched with men as far as brute strength is concerned, and so Sacred Flower’s Kung Fu techniques are based on seduction, speed and illusion, reinforced with all manner of poisons and venoms. Their weapons of choice are daggers, whips and throwing stars. Disciples of Sacred Flower train night and day to restore the holy balance of Yin and Yang. If the task requires bloodshed, so be it!

“Do not utter the name of the Holy Mistress in the presence of men. Her name holds power which must not tarnished by their foul thoughts.” The disciples of Sacred Flower despise the male-dominated beliefs of Shaolin, and believe Wu-Tang clan has desecrated the Yin and Yang symbol, to suggest that women (symbolized by Yin) encompass all the darker, negative aspects of the universe. Sacred Flower thereby opposes these White Clans as they strive to raise women’s current status in society with their fervent cult-like beliefs. The disciples' revealing clothing is justified as a means to entreat, allure, and conquer men by enchantment. So what is perceived as feminine weakness becomes part of their strength.

“Wipe that smile off your face. I am a commander of Sacred Flower. To leer at me is to invite the wrath of hidden women everywhere. They are where you work, where you drink, in your household. The Mistress has no mercy for those who cross her daughters.” Disciples of Sacred Flower are mindful in all things of the spirit and will of The Mistress of Chaos. While they invite you to become entranced by their beauty, bear in mind that this attraction will be used to either dominate, humiliate, or kill you. Since common women in this male-dominated land are given no voice, Sacred Flower disciples act as their champions. Because illusion was a revered practice of The Mistress, many disciples have made grave personal sacrifices over the past ten years to insert themselves into society, as wives, mothers, concubines, going even so far as donning the robes of other clans.

The role of these hidden disciples is to control men from behind closed doors and between silken sheets, and disseminate important information back to the clan. In short, it is Sacred Flower’s mission to control the men who control The Land.

Style:
Although these disciples may speak with a soft tongue to those whom they would seduce and destroy, they do not mince words among themselves. They will not allow admission to a woman who is perceived to be of weak mind or soft will. Failure is not tolerated and mere question of the will of The Mistress is grounds for expulsion. These women protect helpless females, but show no mercy toward helplessness within their clan. When the disciples aren’t spying or fighting, they’re either training or meditating on the occult teachings that were transcribed to them by The Mistress of Cloud herself, who was said to be channeling knowledge from a plethora of arcane spirits.


Clan Slogans:
“If men rule the world, women must rule men!”
“Let daggers fly in the moonlit sky.”

Common Farewell:
“Will of The Mistress be done.”

Membership Requirement:
One may attempt to join the clan at Cheng 4 of Losing Self. A prospective initiate must consume one of two Pills Of The Mistress, one blue and one red, to test one’s “purity of soul.” If you (or your soul guide) choose the correct pill, you will survive and be accepted to the clan. If you choose the wrong one, you will die and have to begin the initiation quest again.

Specialty Classes:

• Mistress of War,
• Mistress of Heaven,
• Mistress of Cloud,
• Mistress of Spirit.
