My sugestion for quests is to put up a series of signs or advertising/noteboards, the skin for it can be a version of the normal ifo sign that show you directions and names of towns etc. When someone click this sign you start a quest, a bounty hunt. Depending on what sign you click you get a task to slay x-amount of monsters (much like the current smith, slay 20 orcs quest), and when you comlpete this you return to the sign for a reward, exp, items, gold etc.
This can be done at several locations and it can have different monster to hunt to make it more easy or dificult for all types of high or low lvl players. Allso it can be made as a repeateble quest, so ppl can enjy it over and over
.
To unlock the sign quests i sugest a series of tasks to unlock the 5 grades (and a secret one) of bounty hunter licenses, (different levels required to start the 5 grade licenses tasks quests) to put a building, (a guild of bounty hunters) and a npc at the pvp arena.
To start quest for 5th grade license the requirements are character lvl 5.

This is just a rugh idea, sort of a example how you might whant to do. Feel free to chage monsters, items or rewards as you se fit for a more well balanced chain of quest that will fit good into the game.
Now to connect the grades with quest signs, im open for sugestions. I realise it might take some serious thaughts to ballance this whole quests ideas well, that i leave up to you but a few examples of repeteble sign quests might be:
A sign in Kedingon village for bounties on bees or white wolves.
A sign on Bank map -1.1 for bounties on green crockys.
A sign in Silverwood castle for bonties on yellow archers.
A sign close to the wagon shop for bounties on worlocks or/and vampire swordman and perhaps war dogs.
A sign at Marteks stornghold for bounies on snow dragons/ghost archers/ southern sun mushyman/ worms.
A sign in Ashsdown town for fire archers/ giant lava gholems.
Im sure there are manny more signs to put up if you like these ideas. Take whatever you like and use it to make this awesome game even better. Ty for reading all of this!
Cya guys and gals! Have fun and take care!
