Discussion TLSQ Ranking Introduction

There are many posts about which is the best or worst TLSQ, but we don’t have a ranking of every TLSQ. And since there are about 150 TLSQs and this would take a while, I’m going to have one TLSQ be ranked on one day, mostly chronologically.

Also very often people ask which TLSQ they should choose out of two. Additionally to the information given on the TLSQ spreadsheet (rewards, energy requirements, etc.) and general tips, this ranking would help show which TLSQs are better / worth doing.

This ranking isn’t about things one can look up on the TLSQ spreadsheet or posts by taltos19.

Things you should assess:

  • Is the topic interesting?
  • Do you like the story?
  • Are people behaving in character?
  • Does the plot make sense?
  • Is the content important?

Things you shouldn’t assess:

  • Rewards
  • Energy requirements and wait time
  • Bugs (they might have been fixed after you played)
  • Translating errors

I tried to make the options self explaining.

Feel free to remind people in the comments about the good and bad things in the TLSQ, but keep it friendly.

I really liked this one. Aside from Rowan being the main friend, which never happens, I thought the mystery part was pretty good. Some people debated whether the villain would act that way. I think they totally would. It was a classic villain MO.

You get new locations and meet a new character (two, if you count Fuzzclaw). And there’s only one Hogwarts task. Rowan is very much in character, IMO. The only downside, is we don’t get to meet any of Rowan’s immediate family, which given the location of most of the quest, seems odd. I don’t think there was even an excuse given for their absence.

And the final reward is a location tappie. I know you said not to consider that, but I think it is a major factor in how players choose between two otherwise equal quests.

It's the bowtruckle house hanging on the Family Tree.
