Why would you NOT have spare provinces available? I always keep 2-3 scouted provinces free for this reason.

i personally do have some available. But i know ppl that dont, and i understand there frustration. - However, if they keep this up, i might not have many available. Iv stayed put in tech tree for a while, and will be for a while longer before moving on. Every quest like this puts me closer to not having one.
And even from an ocd perspective its rly annoying to go form 'solve x encounters' to 'fight x encounters or negotiate x encounters'.. -_-
Its the same damn thing! Only the first one allows for a real 'or' alternative. And thats what inno was doing for a while; giving a real alternative. For some reason they specifically made this horrible change.

@Dominionofgod I'm up to locked quests and that is the only one I remember like that. All the other ones you can complete with map, spire or tournament encounters. That is awesome compared to the way it used to be. I remember having to wait for several days to scout even though I thought I had enough waiting for an event. (adding: and then they came out with time instants 
)

Obviously I know it is correct. I've been in this game long enough to have been here for every event. I did the 97 quests minus 30 days = 67. Forgot to + 1 for yesterday = 68 quests before being locked. Not that it matters but it seems odd to me that it was actually 69. I did not know there was a mix up on BETA that was not fixed. I had just decided that I wanted to go ahead and get the unlocked ones done so I could choose what I wanted to aim for from the start. For years I bought event currency at the beginning of the event so that I could be pretty sure to get all of what I wanted. Now I want to front load the event currency with the quests and wait until toward the end to see how much I need to buy, if any.

Just a small correction - Quest #70 is the first locked quest on the live server.

Daily #1, is numerical 68
Start of Daily Quests
1/68. Solve any 8 Encounters AND
Collect 24 Vision Vapor or Scout a Province - 37
2/69. Collect a big amount of Coins AND
Use 2/3 Enchantments - 37
Should have both been available on Tuesday.
According to two sources (one of which was my own Beta test) unless this has been significantly changed for Live release.

I'm using TomatoHu's guide: www.tinyurl.com/wintermagic22
So far, her guide has matched exactly with the quests on the live server. The last open quest, #69, was "Collect coins" and "Use 2 enchantments".
I won't see the first locked quest, #70, until this evening, but it should be "Produce Any Goods of your choice" and "Product Supplies or Train Troops".

Yes that's correct and matches my records.
See how your earlier post could be misinterpreted?

No, not really. The live server must be different from the Beta.
Quest #68, "Solve 8 Encounters" and "Collect Vision Vapour or Scout a Province" was an open quest for me, not the start of the "daily", "once-per-day" or "locked quests" (terminology varies). My first locked quest is #70: "Produce Any Goods of your choice" and "Product Supplies or Train Troops".

Dude, the first daily quest always looks like a sequential quest on day one, if you get to it that quickly. The daily quests start on day one, not on whichever day you first get to them. So 67 sequential and the 1st daily means you can complete 68 quests on day one and then have the lock to wait for the 2nd daily quest.

"Dude" is rather rude, but I understand what you are saying.
I reached Quest #69 after the start of the so-called second day of the event, 4 PM PST on Tuesday for me. So #69 appeared to be an open quest for me, as did #68 - #68 being on the first day of the event. So #70 is technically the third locked or daily quest. Understood.

Dude is a standard American greeting and can mean 20 different things, depending on how it is being used.

Correct. I did 69 yesterday and #70 did not unlock last night. I put the normal calculation in above post so others can figure out when they will hit locked quests based on when they get there.

About half of those meanings for "dude" are contemptuous, and its original meanings were contemptuous. Of course the meanings have cultural associations, and I assume your meaning was intended to be friendly.Dude is a standard American greeting and can mean 20 different things, depending on how it is being used.
Personally I would avoid this term on an international forum. As a Canadian (British Columbian), "dude" is a city idiot pretending to be a cowboy. Thus we have "dude ranches" for such people. And from TV and movies, I think of "dude" as a rather silly and dated surfer or hippy term.
"David" would be a much friendlier and less ambiguous term of address, as is "Enevhar".

It is confusing nomenclature! But I think we all understand now when the "daily" quests begin. It is an unusually high number! In the last eight events that I recorded "63" was the highest (using my old way of looking at it), but I may have missed recording the Winter event.

@David Dragonsage OK. I just see posts every single event where somebody is bemoaning the fact that they hit locked quests. I get that. It really is disappointing if you are trying to get one more quest done when you are trying to get a daily prize you really want. So my only reasoning was to maybe, just maybe, help someone out who doesn't know to take the total number of quests minus the remaining number of days to know when they are going to have to wait until the next event day. It is a shame that this event has a +1 variation from normal events. Just note that there is no magic # like "63". It always depends on the total number of quests minus the remaining number of days. Events do not always have the same number of either of those variables.
As for "dude", I think it mostly depends on your age. When I was younger "dude" had a positive connotation for guys. Now, it has just taken on a questioning connotation as far as I've ever been aware. Lighten up!

Thank you Deborah, I had no idea that the number of open quests was determined by (Total# Quests - Remaining Days). I just assumed it really was arbitrary or magical!
As far as "dude" goes, it is an expression that I personally find inappropriate - and many of the people I know in this area would feel the same way. But having expressed my discomfort - hopefully respectfully - the case is closed for me. To not express your feelings (respectfully) is to fall into self-abuse and/or resentment. Not good for either you or the person you are interacting with! Not good for the community we are trying to build.
That's what attracts me to Elvenar. It one of the few online games that encourages team and community building. At least its a worthy goal to strive for.

Quest 49 makes no sense. It says to "collect a big amount of coins OR to use coin rains 3 times." I used a single 5% coin rain spell and that was enough to count as a big amount of coins and satisfy the quest. If a single usage of the smallest coin rain spell can satisfy the first option, what is the point of option b?
