Introduction to Quartermasters and Collectable Quest Items
Note:
These are worth at least 100g each as they can be traded for merchant items such as identification kits.
Quest rewards are new to Factions and, I think, extremely welcome. They work in the same way as other collectors though and can be traded for within the main town(s). They are not dropped by anything, but given to you are a reward for completing quests.
Trading them in:
The Quartermasters generally have the same items as Merchants and that in itself should give you an idea as to the value of these items. The value will depend on the usefulness of the items to you, and the level you are in, but as a rule of thumbs…
[1] is worth around 100g
[3] are worth around 500g to 600g
[5] are worth up to 2,000g (but not the Monastery ones)
One will get you common essentials like identification kits, salvages kits, bags…
Three will get you superior identification kits (100 uses), expert salvage kits, runes of holding …
Five will get you a reasonable weapon (Monastery), a superior salvage kit (100 uses) or experience scrolls.
All will get you chest keys, the value and number of credit needed being appropriate to the area.
