Regarding /qa
Here are changes I believe would make the quests feel alot less underwhelming in general, however the base ideas were taken from neosurival.
Part one: The problem with quests themself
Add more limits to the permanent quests & increase rewards (if applicable to the server). Right now, the quests do not have enough milestones to feel useful. in the linked image, the Reliable Catch 3 quest, rewarded by catching 384 cod via fishing, gives $504 balance, 2 shards, and 126 quest exp.
THIS IS NOT THE ONLY QUEST THAT NEEDS FIXING! THIS IS JUST A GENERAL EXAMPLE.
Potential fix: add more milestones, up to 10 levels per category, and make the milestones NOT multiplicative (when you advance from 1 to the next of the same category, the number required is multiplied by 4 **in most cases**). instead of rewarding money and shards, how about keeping the quest exp, and rewarding 5 tokens for level 1, 10 for level 2, 15 for level 3, etc.
Once a player finishes those 10 quest levels, THEN allow them to repeat it but the requirements are multiplied. keep the rewards the same on each repeat.

Part two: Redeeming the rewards
So a player gathers 1k quest exp, and then is allowed to redeem it, for a 25% chance at a battlepass key.
then, they need to open that key for about a 11.1% chance at getting AT LEAST 100 tokens, and at most 1.5k.
Potential fix (assuming Part One is NOT applied): replace the enchanting bottle with 5 vote crate keys, and the regular golden apples with 10 vote crate keys, increase the egap to x64 instead of x16, and add battlepass key to vote crate with the chance of all other keys TIMES 1.5 **minus the resource crate** (currently sitting at 0.3174%, would make battle pass key about 0.5% chance).
Potential fix 2 (assuming Part One IS applied): increase the battlepass key chance to 60%, remove the regular golden apples AND experience bottles, then increase the egap to x256 (4 stacks) instead of x16 and place the chance at 40%.
Please consider part one over anything else, thank you for your time.
