Quest Loot Levels.

A few of the quests had loot rewards that were far too high for the quest level.
For example I completed a level 7 quest at roughly lvl 5-6 yet the reward was a lvl 12 piece (can't remember name of quest but wasn't only example).
I think that Quest rewards should be one level higher then promoted quest level so that you can make the most of the reward at the earliest moment taking into account the amount of XP gained for turning in quest.

    I had a problem getting the loot reward. I got the XP's but never got the option to select what I wanted ...

    You could select the reward from the quest menu after completing, i had the same thing and then found that out.

    That's a very convoluted way of executing rewards, IMO it should be offered in the same screen as the completion dialog.

    Quest loot rewards was also one of the biggest "misses" for me during this preview. I only managed to get to lvl 8 overall but I dont think I upgrade 1 piece of loot from any of the quest rewards mainly because they were far too higher lvl than I was.

    I also found on my second or third run though that some quest rewards required a higher level but were strictly worse than either my beginner gear or other gear of lower level.

    I assume that the gear rewards are a temporary thing; you'll get materials that can then be used to make items once we are live. So they probably didn't put too much QA into the gear that you were seeing. But without the underlying crafting systems, we were reliant on the quest rewards and it was disappointing to have a lv 12 item from a lv 6 quest.

    I do not see how/where to collect the reward AFTER completing the quest. How do you get to this menu ResistanceFox speaks of? All I am seeing is the quests I have Yet to complete, not past completed quests.

    mytharios, You have to open your Map (M) then in top left of it is a fold out tab. That will give you a list of accepted and current quests. When there's rewards it will show up above those as "collect rewards". Let us know if you still have difficulty and I'll grab a screen shot for you when I'm back in game.

    Yes, in my opinion, this seems strange. You actually have some marks of gear, at levels 8, 12 and 15. The progression should be a little bit smoother because you reach level 8 with the initial gear (level1). The mobs rarely drop a gear, maybe be that's the problem.

    You could buy basic gear at level's 5 & 10 from the Armour smith. For those that had trouble finding the rewards tab: https://facebook.com/AUGUILD/photos/a.260976367715350/1181026389043672/
