Help, my quest has disappeared!

There are two main reasons a quest may no longer be available:

• The quest was a decision quest, so selecting one path causes the other to disappear. An example of a decision quest is The Decision (Fat loot or Sabotage), however you will encounter several others at higher levels. After 1.25, no new quests will rely on decisions made in earlier quests.
• The quest was a time dependant quest, only available at a certain time, day or holiday season. This is particularly noticable for secret quests which may require a certain time on a certain day and holiday quests which will disappear once the holiday has passed, so it is adviced you endeavour to complete both asap.

If neither of these apply then please contact the game support as it may be the result of a bug.

When I work or duel I am getting very little money and experience, help me!

The more frequently you perform the same job or duel you lose a certain amount of motivtion, currently 3% per hour for a job and 3% for one duel. The lower your motivation is the greater the penalty you receive in terms of experience and money (jobs only). Your motivation automatically rises in between doing the same job or duelling at a rate of 2% per hour [needs verification], which can not be changed by sleeping or any other means.
