Hello I am blue-shi or Matthew. I am a moderator to this guild, and I am here to help so many other questors out there, or at least try to...

I am tired of seeing horrible quest threads that have newb written all over them, as well and I am sick of people saying "I NEED ITEMS" know one needs items, there just pixels...
Also this guide will help you for entering my quest thread charity...

What:


A quest thread is a thread dedicated to an item you are questing.

It could be...

The staff of the angels

or even
mochi the puppy

A quest thread is a personal thing so don't be afraid to add some flare or your own little touches. Each quest thread is different so be creative and have some fun.

Why:


Why have a quest thread?

A quest thread is a great advantage on gaia, if used right... There are a lot of gaians using quest threads poorly and seeing no results at all.




People will often only put one post saying give me gold...

These people will also tell you how horrible a quest thread is, and how it is a waist of time and wont work... This is not true and they should not be listened to...

Also a quest thread is not a scam, or anything else considered bad. There is nothing wrong with having a quest thread and you cannot get in trouble for having one.

When:

when is a good time to post a quest thread?

Post a quest thread at any time you are questing an item,
but... do not put one up if you are questing a bouquet of flowers or something similar... make it a hard item worth questing for.


why waist time making a huge quest for a simple item when you will get it in a day... its just not worth it... most people quest monthly collectable items...

How:


How can you accomplish one of these amazing quest threads?

you do it by simply reading this guide. it will help you accomplish your dreams, and maybe even help you win my contest... Who knows...

A quest thread just takes time and effort, you also have to keep it updated. With these three things it will be no problem at all... heck this guide only took my about a day to do...

Games, Contests, and Giveaways:


This quest thread of yours can have games,contests, giveaways and more to keep people interested. It will help you with your progress to get that "dream item".

...Games...


some game ideas can be...

item from the person above you...
*you say the item you would want from the person above you...

Three word story
*Someone submits the beginning of a sentence, three words exactly. Then the next person submits another three words which connect to the sentence, so does the next person, etc

...Contests...

Avi Art
have a 10 spot competition where people pay a fine to enter and have a prize for the winner...

Username dreams
have people create dream usernames and the best 1 wins a prize, also have a fine for entry...

Avie Competition
have a theme and have people tektek an avvie for a prize after they pay to enter...

Bump it up...
have a prize for teh top bumper after so many days...

...Giveaways...


randomly giveaway money or items after so many pages or to the top donator...

Another idea is to have a junk war in your quest thread...
