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
Knight	1
Battlemage	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.

Scripted item payments

Item	Quantity per payment	Selection
Enchanted item (Item enchantment)	1	Random enchanted item

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.
