Mission keys

[Airi Dawn]

How do mission keys work? I've tried searching about them and can't find any helpful information about them. Thank you in advance

[Penny Team-SV]

Airi, I am not sure what you are referring to. Are you referring to the key item and how it is linked to task completion? Please explain in more detail so that we're able to help you.

[Airi Dawn]

Yes, is there any significance to using them for specific missions, like getting an npc to speak only during that part of the task?

[Penny Team-SV]

No, the Old Key item is often used in missions much like scrolls. These are optional and are not fundamental to a mission/interactions. You can set-up a NPC to speak by using interactions; i.e when a button, avatar says, proximity, event is triggered and you then set the NPC to "say something". If you need more assistance with interactions, I'd be happy to provide visual instructions. The best way to become familiar is to play around with them for yourself.

I believe she is talking about adding extra conditions like artifacts and mission codes that prevent an interaction from triggering unless it meets certain requirements. An artifact is the best way to go with that since I don't believe mission codes are working perfectly as of yet since we are still in beta.

On a previous task before you have the NPC speak, go into interactions and have interacting with an item, emote, gesture, however you would like to set it up as give an artifact as its reaction. Then go into the interaction with the say line and on the right side of that panel will say extra conditions, with that, another panel opens up; from there at the top is where you enter the extra conditions as to whether the player has or does not have the artifact.

It will also be where you enter that the player has the specific mission codes as well, if you opt to use them instead; those are given within the CMP (the panel where you create your mission) and not on the item itself, see 2nd image below.

Thank you Aribella this was very helpful

Thank you Aribella this was very helpful

Just following up on this. I recommend using artifacts for the time being, as there have been some bugs with mission keys not assigning or removing correctly. Others here may be able to share more insight if they’ve run into this specific issue themselves. I’ll make sure this is added to our current Known Bugs list so the development team can review it further.

Using artifacts in your mission is a great way to ensure players have exactly what they need to progress. You can assign artifacts through items by button clicks, specific phrases, emotes, proximity triggers, and more. This works perfectly for things like requiring a player to pick up a “key item” (artifact) before opening a door or completing a task.

If you have any questions or need help setting this up, feel free to ask! There are plenty of experienced players and staff here who can offer guidance. Artifacts and event codes can be a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of them, they’re super helpful!

Thank you Mya

Mission keys work very similarly to artifacts, but they’re generally easier to use when building missions. With mission keys, you can assign or remove them directly during task completion without needing extra items or triggers, which makes the process more streamlined. Mission keys are primarily intended for mission specific use, while artifacts can be used both inside and outside of missions.

We’ll be reviewing our Known Bugs list soon and working through those issues, so I’ll make sure mission keys are included. Once the related bugs are resolved, you should be able to start using them normally again. We will include this in our game update notes once this is fixed!

Hope this helps!
