World Event Quests

World Event Quests are not like regular quests. They have a limited timeframe, and usually involve going somewhere or doing something in the real world. They are not affiliated with other questlines.

Because of this, they are often worth more, and they grant NAPS on top of the 7500 available.

Everyone at the Table: World Event Quest, Available until September 21st. (50 NAPS for every crew member who participates | World 1).
