    If possible.

    I'd love to see this implemented. It adds a bit more incentive to do quests (those things you can do other than grinding) without giving an actual benefit to those that enjoy doing them.
    Also I'm just very curious who'd be rank 1.

    The rankings would be based on number of completed quests either with or without event quests.

    Let me know what you think!

    Well that's a thing. Some of the event quests may be available every year who knows.

    I wouldn't mind veteran legends players having a bit of an advantage there. I think there's still more regular quests that you can "miss" than event quests so unless you made an effort you'll still have done less.

    Any way around it sound good

    What about Mages that can't do all Maple Island quests (?) I believe they reach 9 before all quests are done.

    Nope cleared them all on my mage before. Even so you could get to lvl 9 on maple island without any permanent drawbacks (mp/sp loss)

    What about them? I'm not sure how much of a difference there is between the jobs but it's probably minimal.

    I don't think that each class has the same number of job quests, so job quests would have to be excluded if that is true. Furthermore, I think there are some quests that have a lvl cap. They can't be completed after exceeding that lvl, which is disadvantageous to people who did not complete those quests or all of the maple island quests.

    That's part of the point of the ranking. If you don't put in the effort you're going to have less completed quests in the end.

    What about not calling it a ranking but more a list just so people can show off their dedication to quests? Like no competitive way.

    Err sure. Don't really see yet how that would be less competitive. Would that be automated and on the main website or were you thinking about a thread on the forums where people would have to post their progress?

    I don't know. People just like to see everything in a competitive way for whatever reason.

    I'm not saying it shouldn't be a ranking, I'm saying Maple Island quests, quests with a lvl cap, job quest and class specific quest should be excluded at this point. I think it would be a great idea, with the condition that you excluded the aforementioned quests.

    Problem is the more exceptions you'll make the harder it is to implement this, especially with how mess the .wz files are. The original idea can be pulled off quickly by just grabbing the DB and see amount of quest completes, exceptions is much more difficult, because you need read server sided wz which quest is what, etc.

    I really like this idea, it supports doing quests. I am already doing a quest clearance round for about a week already :).
    But in addition to the rankings, maybe you could add a list of earned "quest titles", like giving somebody who cleared 90-95% of all victoria quests, the title of "Quest master of Victoria", or something like that. I know that in the old maplestory they gave medals to people who finished a lot of quests, and that this isnt in line with v.62, but at least giving titles to people could be an idea.

    I love this idea! And Dumbledore's idea about some sort of title or I could suggest achievement thingy would be awesome. It could even come down to adding this to the player info command in-game, this would also remove the competitive-ness of rankings if that is the main counter argument.

    Even if you would exclude those there's still quests you may not be able to complete.

    Keeping in mind what Kimberly said it may be best to keep it simple and include the event quests aswell.
