A Hand of Cards (questline step)

A Hand of Cards is a step of A Seat at the Table.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Questline	A Seat at the Table
Minimum level	2+
Offered by	a tavern regular; offered at a town's notice board (Help wanted) and on the Quests tab

Objectives

Use the location names in your quest journal. Follow map markers when they are available.

Step	Objective	Optional
1	Win a hand of cards at a tavern's table	No
2	Tell the regular at the quest inn in the named town how you won	No

Outcomes

Added gear requires a successful quest payment and a qualifying outcome. Quest mail alone does not count as payment.

Outcome	Gold multiplier	Gear choice
You won a hand, and the regular staked you for the next table.	100%	Yes
The regular found a new stranger to play.	No added payment	No

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.

Next step: The King’s Gambit.

Scripted gold

Payment	Base amount (gold)
Gold payment	100–200

These are the script’s unscaled payment ranges, before the outcome multiplier and any party split. A payment still requires its quest objective or branch; the listed payments are not automatically awarded together.
