[Repost, Dev Response] How often are Rare quests or Rare quest generation rules [Reposted for smartphone users and future reference]

@Petri

We can confirm that our extra Rare Quest was properly triggered at the time specified. The “regular” Rare Quest was buffered by the Challenge Festival — as mentioned above in this thread, Challenge Events block Rare Quests from generating (a condition implemented in 2017 following player feedback).

Please note that many factors influence the generation of Rare Quests, and a good deal of probability is involved as well; in other words, they are “regularly recurring” events, not “regularly scheduled” events. Veteran players will have previously experienced zero (ugh!) or two (wow!) Rare Quests naturally occuring within a calendar week.

We do not specify dates or times for Rare Quests in our official event calendars for a good reason. User-made calendars may offer reasonably accurate predictions, but keep in mind they occasionally miss the mark — sometimes by barely a day, sometimes by nearly a week.

You can expect another Rare Quest to start a few hours after Morlovia ends.

TL;DR:

• Rare Quests are “regularly recurring” events, not “regularly scheduled” events.

• An extra Rare Quest was properly triggered.

• The regular one was buffered by the Challenge Festival.

• Expect another Rare Quest to start a few hours after Morlovia ends.
