Facility Hub

There is a lot of new stuff with this hub, so we should discuss how to add it.

  • Wardens
    This seems pretty easy to me. All wardens get the name of their portal added to the end of their name, for example, Warden (Dangerous Cave). The only NPC that I see not working for this is the one with 3 portals for the Mace of the Explorer Quest. So alternatively, all the wardens could be named for the item they request, for example Warden (Tibri's Fire Spear). However, I think naming them after the portal which they are next to makes more sense, so the Warden for the mace quest will just be a special case.
  • Quests
    How do we handle the quests? I noticed that, while all the quests are old quests updated for this new hub, some of the Wardens request a new item. For example, the Warden for the mountain sewers asked for some new thing and not the experimental portal gem from the Bur Flagging Lower quest.

    My suggestion is that we create one new Quest Guide page for all the quests in the Facility hub, probably call it Facility Hub Quests. The walk through will be broken up by levels, just like the wings of the facility (it you notice, they label each side room by its level, 10, 15, 20, etc). I picture something like this:
== 10+ Quests ==
<<Quest Name>>
:Warden: [[Link]]
:Item: [[Link]]
:Reward: ## experience
:Maps and guide:
:* [[Quest guide link]]
:* [[Dungeon/POI Link]]
:* [[Map file link (wiki or ACMaps)]]
  • Links
    If we decide to go with the single guide idea, then each item would have the Facility Hub Quests added to its intro link. For example, the Ice Tachi intro would be:
    Introduced: Release
    Related Quests: Ice Tachi Quest, Facility Hub Quests
    Updated: That Which Is Ours, Reforging the Past
    And the notes section would be updated to state the two NPCs that except the item.

    All Quests that are part of the new hub would have the Facility Hub Quests be listed under related quests.

Sounds good but let's make sure to update the old quest page walkthroughs too to make sure people are steered toward the new Hub early. That way they can get the full reward of each quest just in case they miss the turn-in NPC notes.
