"Fend Off Carnivores" Herbivore Quest

21 votes

Herbivores should, when attacked by a carnivore, get a "Fend Off Carnivores" quest. This quest could have a timer that's about 5 minutes long. If they kill a carnivore that attacked them within that time, they are rewarded the same marks and growth that a carnivore is rewarded when they complete "Hunt Herbivores". The cooldown to receive it again could be pretty long (similarly to how carnivores can go a while without getting a hunt herbis quest, maybe even longer) and not visible to players, so herbivores aren't encouraged to hunt down carnivores, get attacked by them, and be able to farm the quest. Should feel more like an occasional bonus for defending yourself from carnivores than a quest you're doing on purpose.

What if a herbivore attacks the carnivore first would that quest still apply or if the carnivores are babies and stupidly attack a adult herbivore? If it does it could cause a reason to attack the carnivores IF thats a thing a herb could farm the quest that way unless a system to prevent that sort of issue.

Bro absolutely not. This is horrible. Herbivores WILL abuse this quest by making carnis attack them somehow.

@L preferably it would be only if a carnivore landed the first attack, no matter the age, but I don't know if that can be tracked and used in a quest. Baby carnivores would be fine to count if they attack first, even if you're an adult, since adult carnivores can also kill baby herbivores for their hunting quest.
