Development Update: Quest System Expands with Escort & Ride Missions

One of the most exciting parts of bringing EternalCore to life has been rebuilding the quest system from the ground up — and we've been making serious progress.

Escort quests are now a major focus of our scripting work. These missions require you to guide an NPC safely through dangerous territory, and our server tracks every step: the escort pauses when they take damage, they react to nearby enemies, and they follow carefully optimised waypoint paths. Quests like Sheldon's Escort, Homeward Bound, Porter Escort, Guard Duty, and several others are already scripted and running on the server.

We've also been building out ride-based quests where you mount a specific creature — Raptors, Crushers, Grunts — and complete objectives from the saddle. Stealth missions are in the mix too, with some quests requiring you to avoid detection or ambush enemies before they see you.

There's still a long list of quest scripts to write, but the foundation is solid and we're adding new content regularly.
