Lets brainstorm random NPC quests

    I noticed most of the quest ideas on this forum are fairly big things, but I'd like to talk about the simple quests you get from random villagers. The current quests are decent, but I'd like to see some more variety.

    Here are a few ideas I came up with:

    1. A quest to craft something from one of those special materials like reed or bone. After completely the first stage (bringing the material) you would automatically learn the recipe as a bonus.

    2. NPC wants to visit another planet. Perhaps to meet a long lost friend or relative, maybe bring them back? Similar to a stand escort situation, except they would be able to beam up and down with you.

    3. Buried treasure. When you accept the quest, a chest would be spawn somewhere say 50-150 blocks underground (replacing dirt blocks if necessary). You would have to rely on the quest pointer to find it and the NPC would split the loot with you.

    4. NPC needs a loan, can you help them out? Amount of pixels requested would scale with planet tier. After an hour so, they can pay you back with interest/reward. Not too exciting, but you could do some interesting things with this. Maybe they use the loan to start a business and become a merchant?

    5. How about an NPC sending you to hunt for fossils, bugs or fish? Since they don't have any practical use currently it would be a nice addition. (Not sure exactly how you could turn in a fish though.)

    That's all I got for now, feel free to share your ideas.
