Post an item request or accept another player's job. The reward is reserved upfront, and items are delivered from your bank box.
Access to the task list
- Open Paperdoll → Quests. Browse Open Quests, and track your account's quests under My Listings and My Accepted Quests.
- Use Inspect to check the requested type, color, quantity, crafting requirement, reward and deadline.
- Pressing Accept Quest and Start Timer removes the listing from other players' availability and starts the countdown.

Post a Quest
- Transfer enough gold into shared Savings to cover the reward.
- Under Post Quest → Select Item, choose a transferable item as the requested sample. Use an item on your character or in your backpack; the sample is not consumed.
- Enter quantity, completion time and total reward. Require player-crafted items only if needed.
- Reserve Reward and Publish removes the total reward from your Savings and holds it for the quest. The timer starts when another player accepts, not when you publish.
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Requested quantity | 1–1,000,000 units |
| Time After Acceptance | 1–168 hours |
| Total Reward | 1–1,000,000,000 gp |
| Open quest posted by an account | Up to 5 |
| Active quest accepted by an account | Up to 5 |

Deliver and Claim Your Reward
- Place the full requested quantity in the delivering character's bank box. Eligible subcontainers inside the regular bank are also searched.
- Review the quest under My Accepted Quests and press Deliver from Bank / Claim Reward before time runs out.
- The system checks type, color, quantity and verified player-crafted status when required. An incomplete quantity results in neither partial delivery nor partial payment.
- Successful delivery transfers the reward to your account-wide Savings and the items to the requesting account's shared Storage. The poster can withdraw them through the bank's Storage menu.

What items are accepted?
- Requests can cover raw materials, eligible crafted goods, weapons and other transferable items. The item's base type and color must match the sample.
- If Player-crafted is required, the item must have a crafting record. This condition is not mandatory for every listing.
- Weapons and armor must have full durability. Containers are accepted only when empty.
- Gold, bank checks, keys, newbie items and quest items are not accepted.
- Regular Inventory, shared Storage and Artisan Backpack are not delivery sources. Artisan Backpack contents do not count even when the backpack is in the bank.
- Matching type and color does not guarantee the same special bonus. There are no separate filters for special names, additional attributes or bonus tiers. Keep this limit in mind when posting.
Time, cancellation and account sharing
You cannot accept your own account's quest using another character. You can cancel a listing only before someone accepts it. The real-time deadline continues while logged out. Expired rewards return to the poster's shared Savings. Expiry is checked after server restarts too. Completed and cancelled quests remain in history for 7 days.
Example: 1,000 leather
The poster offers 1,000,000 gp for 1,000 leather with a 4-hour deadline. The reward is immediately reserved from their savings. The 4-hour timer starts when another player accepts. Delivering 1,000 leather of the required type and color from the bank transfers the reward to the accepting player's savings and the leather to the poster's storage. If delivery is late, the reward is refunded to the poster.
