Hello, dev peeps. I'm creating a mod with new quests and challenges I'd like to create. Creating a new challenge found in world lore was a "challenge" ;-) and I made it. Unfortunately a quest is still resisting to my charm. I can configure the quest in the mod, load it in the game and then use the "givequest" command successfully. For example, this adds a custom quest "custom_quest_1" with the same template as the tier1_fetch (just different id): <configs> <append xpath="/quests"> <quest id="custom_quest_1"> <property name="name_key" value="quest_tier1_fetch"/> <property name="subtitle_key" value="quest_fetch_subtitle"/> <property name="description_key" value="quest_fetch_description"/> <property name="icon" value="ui_game_symbol_quest"/> <property name="repeatable" value="true"/> <property name="category_key" value="challenge"/> <property name="difficulty" value="medium"/> <property name="difficulty_tier" value="1"/> <property name="offer_key" value="quest_tier1_fetch_offer"/> <property name="statement_key" value="quest_fetch_statement"/> <property name="response_key" value="quest_fetch_response"/> <property name="login_rally_reset" value="true"/> <property name="completiontype" value="TurnIn"/> <property name="completion_key" value="quest_fetch_completion"/> <objective type="RandomPOIGoto"> <property name="phase" value="1"/> </objective> <objective type="RallyPoint"> <property name="phase" value="2"/> </objective> <objective type="FetchFromContainer"> <property name="phase" value="3"/> <property name="quest_item_ID" value="1"/> <property name="item_count" value="1"/> <property name="default_container" value="cntFetchQuestSatchel"/> </objective> <objective type="POIStayWithin"> <property name="phase" value="3"/> <property name="radius" value="25"/> </objective> <objective type="ReturnToNPC"> <property name="phase" value="4"/> </objective> <objective type="InteractWithNPC"> <property name="phase" value="4"/> </objective> <reward type="Exp" value="3750"/> <reward type="Item" id="casinoCoin" value="560"/> </quest> </append> </configs>And then I type "givequest custom_quest_1" and I get it in my quest log. But I would like this quest to be offered by the trader. Given that all trader quests are under the xpath quests/quest_list in quests.xml I tried my best shot with this after the append in my previous snippet: <append xpath="/quests/quest_list[@id='trader_quests']"> <quest id="custom_quest_1"/> </append> But I ALWAYS end up getting NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in red colors in the console when I talk to the trader and the trader menu never shows up anymore. So I have to remove these snippets to make them work again. I am blocked sadly :sad: Did anybody ever add a new quest successfully to the trader? Many thanks for your thoughts!

As far as we know from vanilla xml files, there is not a global timer that affects all items when you craft them. Each item has its own crafting time. You could modify all items in the game with this property and reduce it by 25% 50% or 75%. You just need to modify the property "CraftingIngredientTime" in those. Example for an empty jar: Vanilla content in items.xml: <item name="drinkJarEmpty"> ... <property name="CraftingIngredientTime" value="9"/> ... </item> XPath example to reduce by 50%: <set xpath="/items/item[@name='drinkJarEmpty']/property[@name='CraftingIngredientTime']/@value">4.5</set> I think decimals are valid. If not, just stick to integer numbers.
