Kitchen Quest timer change?

[shapu]

Perhaps I'm becoming befuddled in my old age, but I seem to remember that kitchen quests used to be on a time range of 1.5-2 hours, at the most. Now, it seems I'm getting a lot more 3-hour quests, which makes it hard to cope with when I don't want to cough up 20 grand for a quest.

Is this happening to anyone else?

I haven't noticed mine to be extremely long, but then again I never pay attention to how long it gives me. I just show up every so often to see if he whines about time being up lol.
I just checked though and I have 1hr 43min left, but I only started it maybe a minute ago.

Hi Shapu,

Yes its happening to me too. Most are over 3 hours, though the one I just got then was 1hr 28min. The one before that I did, cost me ~4500 and I got 753 NP as a prize.

Dont know about you, but the ones Im getting are mostly giving out NP.. BLAH... they are awful as the NP is always low..

SS:)

Mine are still usually under 2 hours but I have noticed the prizes are now absolutely terrible and have been for the last few weeks. I do quite a few kitchen quests every day and I was used to getting at least a couple of good prizes a day. Now I'm lucky if I get one stat boost and maybe one item rather than a tiny amount of np, and the item is usually no good too :/

I only do them now if they're under 2000 NP, because the prizes haven't been good for a while, and when I do get stat boosts (which is rare), it's HP or movement. I've been getting lots of NP rewards, too -- which are always some laughable amount under 900NP -- or useless low-rarity food items.

He should at least be able to give out all the different items he asks for as prizes.

the deadline is in 2 hour(s) and 30 minute(s)

yes, apparently the time duration has been gettting longer... maybe it's to balance the stat points kitchen quests give out?

[shapu]

It might be a stat point balancer.

I've actually had good luck on the quests I've completed today. Since I'm a higher level, I'm willing to pay up to 10k on a quest because stat boosts cost me 30k...and chances of getting a stat are about 1/3. So there you go.

Anyway, I got four HP today, and a red peophin plushie. I'd say I came out pretty well, but I had to wait so long in between....urrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhh

Deadline for me this time. 1h 37min

[shapu]

Add two hours, and you got my most recent timer...

Mebbe it's just me.

[Twisted Sanity]

Ahhh! Thank you for offering to help. This recipe needs the following 3 items, and the deadline is in 2 hour(s) and 24 minute(s). Please hurry!!!

Ehhh, I thought it was usually this high. I've never seen it above 3 hours, and I do them often.

You're probably just getting a few high ones by random. I, though, never do them as they are almost always a rip off :/ I try to stay towards the Brain Tree *shines trophy* and the Snow quests *counts neggs*
