# Frequently Asked Questions

## General

**Q: How do I get paid?**
A: Quest rewards are held in escrow by Questboard and released upon verified completion. "Verified" means the client confirms the quest is done, or in the case of client death, a neutral third party confirms it.

**Q: What happens if I die on a quest?**
A: Your registered next of kin will receive any outstanding payment minus Questboard's 15% fee and any applicable deductions. If you are resurrected, your account is automatically reactivated. Please update your profile if resurrection has changed your class or level.

**Q: Can I rate clients?**
A: Yes. Client ratings are visible to other adventurers. Common complaints include "didn't mention the curse," "wandered off during ambush," and "was actually a dragon in disguise."

**Q: What if the quest description was inaccurate?**
A: File a dispute through Questboard arbitration. Common examples: "clear a few rats" that turned out to be giant rats, "simple delivery" through a war zone, "guard duty" at a location that was already on fire.

## Parties

**Q: My party member keeps stealing loot. What do I do?**
A: File a conduct report. Repeat offenders are banned. If the stolen item is cursed, the problem often resolves itself.

**Q: Can I kick someone from my party mid-quest?**
A: Yes, but you must provide 24 hours notice and safe passage to the nearest tavern. You cannot kick someone mid-combat. You cannot kick someone in a dungeon unless there is a clear exit route. These rules exist because of specific incidents we would rather not discuss.

**Q: What is the minimum party size for a dragon quest?**
A: Four. We used to allow solo dragon quests. We no longer allow solo dragon quests.

## Technical

**Q: The Tavern API is returning 418 for a real tavern.**
A: The tavern may have been polymorphed. Contact the tavern owner or a qualified dispeller.

**Q: My guild token expired while I was in a dungeon with no connectivity.**
A: Tokens can be refreshed retroactively. Bring proof of dungeon entry (loot, scars, or a witnessed account from a surviving party member) to any Questboard office.

**Q: The quest board at my local tavern is showing quests from the Shadow Realm.**
A: This is a known issue in v1.2.0. Update to v1.2.1 or specify `plane=material` in your queries.
