"Time to conjure up a little magic!"
Magic Quest is a feature that once debuted early in Aywas history. However, the feature was disabled for a period of years as the Adventure system was changed and overhauled. This is a particular site feature which also acts as a game of sorts, sending users out around the world of Ay to activate the magic of ancient places. As a reward, the top magicians every month would receive SP.
It is with great enthusiasm we announce that Magic Quest is finally back!
Some older users may remember Magic Quest while a great many have not seen it at all. Whether you're new or old, you should first acquaint yourself with the Knowledge Base Article that covers the feature in detail.
In order to activate Magic Quest, a user must master the Desert. Once a user has reached this requirement, they must visit the Parthenon, where they will be prompted as to whether they'd like to activate the feature.
After that, you're ready for questing!
When you accept a quest at the Parthenon, you will be shown a greyed-out image with a name. The objective is to find the location and activate it. Magic Locations are hidden within the "cities" of the Adventure regions. In order to access these cities, you must master the region it belongs to.
Once at the city, you must find the location needed for your quest by 'clicking' on it. When prompted, it will ask you if you which to activate the location's magic which will cost you some of your "Magic". Magic is a resource which regenerates over time. Select 'yes' and return to the Parthenon for your reward and a new quest!
The more magic locations you activate in your quests, the higher your score for the month will be. In addition, your magic level will increase and it will also increase the amount of Magic you have.
As a small note, Magic may still receive a few tweaks based on feedback and issues that may pop up. So if you encounter an issue, please post your findings on this thread.
But before you go running off, apprentices, we still have some other small announcements!
As you may have noticed, our city locations are now making their glorious return as well to Aywas. You can view the available cities at the City Hub. In the past, the cities only worked to benefit the Magic Quest feature. Going forward, the cities will play a much larger (albeit not-yet-fully-coded) role.
You will find that the cities will also host Gardening and Fishing. While these are not yet activated, you will find that new and returning-old features may be making their appearance in the city hubs. This also include new cities for our currently city-less Ara regions (and with them, new Magic Locations)!
In order to access a region's city (and thus gain access to its features like Magic Quest), you will need to master the region in Adventure. So get out there and adventure!
Finally, we have the infamous Book of Completion. Users read this book to automatically complete a region of explore, but it would also ban them from Adventuring for a week. Due to a rollback error years ago, the consequence of this book was removed in order to grant a grace period for users to re-master regions they had once already mastered but had loss due to the rollback.
As that issue is now long-since gone, the book is being put back into it's original coding. However, due to the fact that many users were not aware of this original punishment and use, there will be a continuing grace period to use this book without incurring the adventure-ban. After 11:59 PM on July 12th, this book will now once again ban users from Adventure for one week upon using it.
So whether you plan to use the book or master adventure the old fashioned way, get out there and master those regions!
ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!

Cake (#2060) The skip quest 'cost' has already been figured out. And we will be implementing it fairly soon, it's the current top priority for magic fixes. So hopefully that will help alleviate the issues of impossible times for users.

the only negative thing about this is that a quest cannot be cancelled. The parthenon is now asking me for a location I cannot get to yet, so I'm pretty much stuck

Is it possible to add when an area will be open, or is it too much of an advantage?
Just asking. :-)

Inuiza (#29946) there's a forum post under Aywas talk that has the times. It's from the old Magic Quest but it was stated that the times were not changed.

Kaliona (#5370) they have been 3-5 mil for over a year. I used them when I got stuck on places right after I joined last year (East river because of CC and Enchanted forest with those stupid wings) and I paid 4 Mil for one and 5 mil for the second.

Fair point but what about the rest of my post? I doubt I'm the only one who's just now finding out about this "grace period" :|

Then make it so to skip it uses full magic for your tier. Or the numbers be adjusted.
