How many quests are there in MapleLegends?

Not sure how many original quests there are, but I would say around ~800.

And yes, repeatable quests count towards total for character stats/ranking.

 

You ahould ask the man himself benQ

 

Pretty sure repeatables only count once, but event quests and stuff like that counts. There are also quests you can miss if you outlevel them, and some hidden quests you can only start if you have certain items.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong about repeatable quests.

 

If event quests count, its basically impossible to ever match benQ, since he's probably event exclusive quests from the start of the server.

 

I'm fairly certain event quests count towards your quest total, I've noticed this when I use !checkstats in-game.

Can also confirm repeatable quests only count once. Restarting a repeatable quest will actually decrease your quest count by one until you complete it again. (EDIT: Slight correction, it decreases your quest total in-game (if you use !checkstats) but NOT on the website rankings.)

 

I can 100% confirm that event quests count. There are slightly over 1000 non-event quests that a given class can complete (some quests are class specific but for most classes these balance out). There are also many "hidden" quests that also count that can only be done while another quest is in progress: they usually involve you dropping the required quest item, which unlocks a small quest where the NPC gives you a replacement item. These obviously can't be done if you've already finished the main quest. I for example have tried doing all of these such quests, and there are at least a couple dozen of them. Some of them are very difficult like the quest to replace your mount+saddle.

Since the admins don't like re-using the big summer events (which is great, new events keep things fresh), you will never be able to be #1 on the quest rankings.

 

Someone made a guide on missable quests.

 

hi..1148 are included event quests & daily / repeatable quests
but that's definitely not the maximum number of quests
i started ML somewhere Oct 2016..due to buzy working life, i missed some of the event quests
sometimes i completed the event quests by only using 1 char (benQ), this is also why the other char (benQQ) r left few quest count behind
both char hv missed some quests related to Magartia PQ coz we were over level when MPQ finally released
(i remember my questing frens they decided to stop leveling just to wait for the MPQ)
i hv missed most of the quests which required u to drop the items (mentioned under https://forum.maplelegends.com/index.php?threads/guide-missable-and-hidden-quests.8733/)..
who the hell will drop the items especially to drop those rare quest items

daily / repeatable quests only count once
most of the event quests are under repeatable quests.. so it only count once if u did it last year & again for this year
so wait for the summer / halloween / xmas events to boost up ur quest count
take note that some of the event stuff like 'fairytale event' (NPC Gaga) are not counted under quest

 

re-taking the repeatable quest will not decrease the quest count NOW
same for forfeiting the quest

 

So I tested this, and it seems that restarting a repeatable quest lowers your quest count by one in-game (i.e. if you use !checkstats), but NOT on the website rankings. I was re-doing a repeatable quest that I had previously completed, and I noticed that my quest count in-game was one less than the total displayed in the website's quest rankings. I then completed that quest, as well as a separate non-repeatable quest, and now my two quest totals are matching (with 2 being added to the in-game count and 1 to the website count).

I could be wrong but that's my conclusion based on what I've observed.

 

The website does not update immeadiatly always though how long did you wait before checking?

 

Yeah that's true, I waited a few hours for it to update. But still, I restarted that repeatable quest weeks ago, and before I completed it I noticed the website's quest total was one higher than my in-game quest total (if there was updating delay, the in-game total should be the one that's higher instead, because I've been doing other quests in the meantime). Now, after re-completing that quest, the totals are the same (and I don't have any other active repeatable quests that I've previously completed).

 

An ages-old question.
