With Questlines enabled, these outcomes control the added rewards. Gold multipliers apply only to gold the quest actually pays. A gear choice offers a weapon, armour and jewellery; keep one. See Quest rewards and loot for rarity, payment and online reward rules.

Possible quest foes

Foe	Group size
Warrior	1
Knight	1
Barbarian	1
Spellsword	1
Rogue	1

These are the script’s possible foe groups, including conditional encounters. They are not all guaranteed to appear together; repeated attacks and ordinary dungeon enemies can add more. Follow a foe’s reference for its combat rules before choosing weapons.

See Quest reference for offer requirements across quests.

Online, a failed outcome does not apply its faction-reputation penalties. Legal-standing changes and choices made during the quest are separate.

Scripted item payments

Item	Quantity per payment	Selection
Diamond	1	Named item payment

These are item payments made by the quest’s script. The objective or branch still determines which payment you receive. They are separate from the additional fitted gear choice and from ordinary enemy or chest loot.
