Some of Habitica's collection quests have in the past taken a very long time to complete because they required collecting a large number of quest drops. In response to feedback that this was demotivating, those quests have been changed so that fewer items need to be found. The modified quests and their new requirements are listed in the table below.

This change applies to all of those quests that are started from now on and also to any of them that are currently running.

If you are in a party that is currently participating in one of the modified collection quests, you will notice two things:

  1. In the quest's list of the items found so far, the total number of items required will be smaller than it was previously.
  2. In your party chat, this message will be automatically posted by the quest system:
    This party's collection quest has been made easier! For details, refer to http://habitica.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:LadyAlys/Collection_Quests_are_Now_Easier.

If you don't see either of those things, reload the party's webpage or close and reopen the mobile app.

It is possible that your party has already found enough items to meet the new requirements. If so, the quest will end as soon as the next cron runs for any quest participant.

For players who completed any of these quests in the past, your number of achievements for each modified quest has been increased in approximate proportion to how much the quest has been changed. For example, the Moonstone Chain quest used to be five times harder than it is now, so your achievements count for that quest has been multiplied by five - if previously you had two achievements for it, you will now have ten achievements. If you would prefer to keep your original number of achievements, please go to the Report a Bug guild to request that we set your achievement counts back to what they were before this change (even though this is not a bug, the Report a Bug guild is the best place to ask because Habitica's admins monitor it frequently and will be able to help you). You can access the Report a Bug guild from the Help menu on the habitica.com website or from Guilds on the mobile apps.

These are the quests that have been changed:
