What's up guys

These days I was watching some animes and I noticed something very common among them that I don't see in MMOs.

Secret Quests.

A hidden Npc, with no names on top of them or any indication that it's an npc.
It could be a statue, a tombstone in a forest, a rock with some hieroglyphics, skeletal remains or broken armor, etc. Something you look at and think is just part of the setting, but clicking on it will open a Quest window.
You can receive rare, epic or even unique items, enchantment scrolls, elemental stones, crafting materials, valuable and hard to get things worthy of a secret quest.

I think the thrill of you hunting and finding an npc hiding in the middle of the forest or wherever he is, must be the same as dropping a legendary item.

How this can spread quickly due to youtubers and streamers like "HIDDEN NPC GIVES RARE ITEMS"
It could set the npc to only appear at certain times or days and/or once someone receives the Quest it disappears and reappears in another location only when the Quest is completed, or even be a single Quest.

I think the best thing is that these quests can be linked to an event, where the condition for this event to start is someone completes this quest.
Quest example:
You find a tombstone in the forest that tells the story of someone who died in battle protecting a village, but is still wandering around, so you should look for this ghost (which only appears at dusk and only for those who have the Quest) and you should help you to rest and then you receive an item associated with that Quest.(Items of holy or dark element)
Ex. Event:
The ghost continued his duty to protect this land even after death and that's why the monsters he defeated were still afraid of him, now that the ghost is gone the monsters can attack the villages again (EVENT: INVASION)

Honestly, just imagining this happening makes me even more excited to play this game.

What do you think? Is it a valid idea or have I just traveled too much? xD

Very neat quest ideas! I'd love to see what other quest ideas you all can come up with :)
