In a recent patch, EverQuest added a new line of tasks to Dragonscale Hills. These tasks can be obtained from Fenden Helter in the tower of light. Each task rewards you with experience, faction, and faycitum. The tasks come in three types: acts, errands, and combat.

There are two acts that can be completed. Each act rewards you with 30 faycitum and a small bit of experience. These tasks are on their own 18 hours lockout. No combat is involved in either of these tasks and they can be completed entirely solo.

There are seven errands to be completed, one for each faction. These tasks share an 18 hour lockout, so you can only complete one of these per day. These also do not involve combat and can be completed solo. Most of them are simple delivery tasks, where you receive and item and deliver it to someone else. Errands reward you with faction, experience, and 20 faycitum.

There are seven combat tasks, one for each faction. They are each on their own 18 hour lockout timer, so you can complete all of these each day. These reward you with faction, experience, and 3 faycitum. Killing ten monsters of a specific type is required, so most players will require a small group to complete these.

Faycitum is a new type of alternate currency. Faycitum can be used to purchase various items from Fenden Helter. These items are all tier two secrets of Faydwer items. While most of the items can be traded, some of them are no drop. The items range in price from just under 1000 faycitum to roughly 2300 faycitum. On average, it will take you about 2 weeks to purchase an item, if you complete the two acts plus an errand every day.

The faction given to you for completing a combat task or an errand task is fairly significant. Many players have estimated that if you complete a combat task and an errand for a given faction each day, you will reach maximum faction in about a month. If you make it a habit to complete an errand and two or three combat tasks each day, you will have all the faction you need in just a few months.

The new tasks in EverQuest introduced into the Dragonscale Hills are a very handy way to get experience, faction, and items. I would recommend everybody to make an effort to complete as many of them as you can do each day.
