OK, so now you know the rules, but do you know how to go about makin a Quest thread? Sure you could take all that info and jam it into one post, but who wants to mess around with that kinda clutter? Well fear not, my lovelies, it's a good thing you have ol' Channah here with all her years of experience. (But not as many years as some you smartasses might be thinkin.)

Now it's entirely up to you how you format your thread. You can jazz that baby up any way your precious heart desires. But I'll impart unto you some tried and true methods.

It's a fact that threads that are well organized are more invitin and pleasing to the eyes. Many of our users like to break up their info into different posts. These may include:

An Introductory Post: Introduce yourself and tell the world what your thread is about.

A Biographical Post: Share some tasty tidbits about you, let the Quest Forum know who you are.

Questing Post(s): If you're questin gold, state how much you hope to someday obtain. --- If it's items you seek, list them out. You can use as many posts as you like and order them however you please. One post for commons. One for rares. Maybe you'd rather divide them by color. It's your call.

Mule Quests: Do you have a mule account? Think they might likes some shinies too?

Completed Quests Post: Celebrate your victories by showin off your spoils and thanking those who may have helped you along the way.

Links Post: Know anyone with their own quests? Add a link to their thread and they just might do the same for you.

These are just a few examples of what your Quest thread might contain., but the content is ultimately up to you. --- When creating your thread, be sure to reserve as many posts as you think you'll need. To keep one post from merging into another, check the 'Override double post' box in your post options.

If you have a particularly busy signature, it may be good to uncheck the 'Show your signature' option too.

And don't be afraid to pretty your thread up with images and decorations. Create banners for your posts, give em a little pizzazz! Add accompanying pictures to the items you're questing. You can find these in the Shops or the Marketplace.

And for additional tips on how to make a thread like a pro, check out the Coding Guide. It's a wealth of knowledge.

Making sure your wording is concise and your quests understandable is a good idea. Use a spell checker if you aren't too comfortable with your writing. Nothing's sexier than a good speller.

There's only one way to guarantee that your Quest thread will stay at the top of the page, and that's by bein sociable. In addition to housing all your quests, your thread is also a great place to chat with your friends. By simply being a good host, you'll ensure your thread's longevity.
