Quest markers
There are not going to be obvious quest markers, such as question marks and exclamation marks telling players where to turn.[1]
- There will be subtle ways that players will acquire knowledge that something is to be done in an area.[1]
Quest givers
As opposed to what we may be used to in other MMOs where you see giant question marks or exclamation points, we've gone a little bit more subtle with the way that certain NPCs reflect their dialogue or quest availability. There's a slight shimmer that exists over the name and their color: Green represents quest logs- quest paths and then the gold represents the shops.[3] – Steven Sharif
- Quest giver Неигровые персонажи in Ashes of Creation have subtle indicators rather than obvious question marks or exclamation marks. Quest givers are identified by a green shimmer on their nameplates.[3]
- Not every quest/quest-giver will originate from within a node.[4]
- Quest giver NPCs cannot be killed by players.[5][6]
- When there is an ability to kill a NPC, there should be a good reason for killing that NPC; and denying content to other players is not necessarily a good reason. So, the quest givers themselves are not killable.[5] – Steven Sharif
