Quests Can Earn You 1,000 Credits
Completion of Quests form a tournament in which the winner is the knight with the most victories, the least number of defeats, and in the event of a tie, the highest number of pages surfed. While it will take a good amount of surfing to successfully complete all 10 Quests, note that the number of pages surfed is actually the least important factor in determining who wins the tournament. Playing this game involves some strategy and a wise player will learn to balance their moves to improve the likelihood of successfully completing each Quest.
At the end of each Quest, the player must face a “beastie” or “baddie” and there is a real chance that the player will be defeated.
If you are defeated, you collect a small bonus (5 credits per Bronze Coin you found) and you must begin that Quest again… except, items found during your Quest won’t necessarily be found in the same locations again.
If you are victorious, you collect a bonus (5 credits per Bronze Coin you found) MULTIPLIED by some secret Quest Multiplier that INCREASES with each successfully completed Quest.
Notice that Bronze Coins are the KEY to your bonuses. Make sure you always find at LEAST ONE before ending your Quests or your bonus will be a big fat ZERO credits… Even if you win!
With each successfully completed Quest the amount of credits you can win increases such that on the final Quest it’s possible to win 1,000 credits!
If you have an upgraded membership, with each successfully completed Quest you have an additional chance to win 1-2 Royal Coins worth $1 each toward RoyalSurf purchases and a bonus 25 credits each too!
While the Quests get increasingly more rewarding as you progress, you should remember that they get more challenging too. You might consider pacing yourself to complete the final Quests after obtaining your Strength Bonus for all 7 days of the tournament. Then seek out as much “good” magic as possible before facing your nemesis. You will also want to collect as many Bronze Coins as you can to maximize your reward.
If you rush to the end you are almost guaranteed to fail multiple times on the final Quests. Even if you pace yourself properly, consider it a lucky day if you complete the final Quest on your first try.
If you’ve paced yourself strategically through the Quests you may just find yourself among the top 25 Joust Tournament winners at the end of the week. That’s an extra bonus of a few hundred credits to a couple thousand credits.
Even if you don’t place in the Joust Tournament you may still be rewarded. Each week our system randomly rewards up to 20 members who surfed at least 200 sites and participated in the Quests.
No matter what, you never lack for rewards and bonuses at RoyalSurf… if you add them all up you’ll find more here than any where else!
Good luck with your Quests… you’re going to need it!
