{{see also|QuestsTOCRIGHT}}<includeonly>=</includeonly>==Introduction==<includeonly>=</includeonly>
Square Enix have been slowly improving Final Fantasy 15 more and more with every passing update that they make. This new update has little to no actual connection in terms of the game’s story, but allows for some interesting new scenario’s that you won’t be able to come across ever again. After all, the entire reason they are called [[Timed Quests]] is because they are timed and will only be accessible for a set amount of real-world time before it goes away. With that in mind, it’s recommended that you get and do each Time Quest as soon as possible, just so that you don’t miss out on a fun little extra to the game that otherwise you might not get the chance to play.
<includeonly>=</includeonly>==Quest-Point-System (QPS)==<includeonly>=</includeonly><includeonly>=</includeonly>===1st Time The Basics<includeonly>=</includeonly>=== The new system is in place to spark up the competition within the community, and to make timed quests more attractive and replayable for hardcore fans of the game. This is achieved by giving us a new currency: Quest -Points or QP in short. These QP can be exchanged for (limited) gear, aswell as consumables (such as [[Phoenix Down]]s) and other valuable resources (2[[Gil]] / [[XP]] / [[AP]] and OA-Coins). <includeonly>=</includeonly>===How to earn QP<includeonly>=</includeonly>=== QP are earned in two ways. One being to simply complete the timed quest for the first time. This will, however, not yield enough QP to get all the rewards available to us.Which leads us to the other way: Placements in an Hourly/Daily/Weekly Leaderboard mentioned above. As of now, there is only one timed quest available, and therefore we cannot say for sure whether the amount of QP you get for getting a certain rank will change or not. The same applies for the one-time completion Bonus. On top of all that, QP are divided into two sections, one being a quest-specific pool with an expiration date, and the other one being an indefinite pool which will most likely carry over to the next timed quest. The first QP you get are split 50/50 into both pools, giving 50 QP each. The ranking rewards are as follows: '''Hourly'''{| class="wikitable sortable" style= "text-align: center"|-!Ranking!Specific QP!Free QP|-|Top 100 || 40 || 1|-|Top 500 || 30 || 1|-|Top 1000 || 20 || 1|-|Top 2500 || 10 || 1|-|Top 5000 || 5 || 1|-|} '''Daily'''{| class="wikitable sortable" style= "text-align: center"|-!Ranking!Specific QP!Free QP|-|Top 100 || 200 || 15|-|Top 1000 || 100 || 10|-|Top 2500 || 50 || 5|-|Top 5000 || 25 || 1|-|Top 10000 || 10 || 1|-|} '''Overall/Weekly'''{| class="wikitable sortable" style= "text-align: center"|-!Ranking!Specific QP!Free QP|-|Top 100 || 1500 || 150|-|Top 1000 || 1000 || 100|-|Top 2500 || 500 || 50|-|Top 5000 || 250 || 25|-|Top 10000 || 100 || 20|-|} <includeonly>=</2017 includeonly>===Rewards<includeonly>=</includeonly>===IMPORTANT As of now, it seems like Rewards are given out 3-4 hours after handing in. This is most likely due to the fact that you can hand them in till one hour after the bracket finished, plus also taking processing time on their end The rewards are, again, separated into their own category, and at this moment it is unknown whether the [[Afrosword]] can be obtained multiple times. Other Items also haven't been testes thus far, except AP, which seem to be redeemable repeatedly.

There is an hourly competition, a daily competition, and the overall competition. At first I thought the daily and overall would be cumulative but apparently they are not. Your best hourly score is what will be matched up against others best hourly score. Example: If you score 100 points between 1800 hours and 1900 hours, 100 points will be placed on the hourly, daily, and overall scoreboard. If you then score 100 points between 1900 and 2000 hours, your score does not become 200 for the daily and overall scoreboard. It will only reflect your highest hourly score. What this means: You do not have to fish non-stop to rank highly in the daily or the overall competition. You only need to score very highly in one of the hourly competitions to grab a top daily or overall competition. How to proceed: As of last night the overall high score was 166 fish. The top 1000 players were all around 90-100 fish. However, equal scores do not share the same rank. Places 1000 up to 900 may all have the exact same score. What this means is that right now 100 fish is enough to get you in the rankings, but as the week goes on and more people achieve an equal score, it will begin to push the ranks lower and lower. My suggestion would be to play at least once a day. Look to see if you fall within the top 1000, and if you don't, try to achieve a higher score. I haven't seen anyone surpass the 166 mark but chances are if you come anywhere close to that number you'll be set for the rest of the week. Submitting Score: Your score will automatically submit periodically. You do not have to manually submit your score unless you are about to turn off your console and do not want to lose your points. You may notice your score is lower than it should be and that is due to the lag. I can say however that your points are not lost, they are simply uploaded the next hour. Example: If you score 100 points between 1800 and 1900 but the server only registers 90 points, your score has not been lost. It will instead upload the total 100 points in the following hour whether you are playing or not. Please note that it will not upload to the hourly competition, only the daily and overall. The server seems to be falling about 20-30 minutes behind right now so unfortunately the hourly ranking will be a bit broken. My score of 114 was uploaded as 99 for the hourly competition, but then uploaded the full 114 to daily and overall. <includeonly>=</2017)includeonly>==Tyraneant Timed Quest==<includeonly>=</includeonly>{{see also|Tyraneant Timed Quest}}{{:Tyraneant Timed Quest}} <includeonly>=</includeonly>==Fishing Timed Quest==<includeonly>=</includeonly>{{see also|Fishing Timed Quest}}{{:Fishing Timed Quest}} <includeonly>=</includeonly>==Midgarsormr/Hvitrormr==<includeonly>=</includeonly>{{see also|Midgarsormr/Hvitrormr Timed Quest}}{{:Midgarsormr/Hvitrormr Timed Quest}} <includeonly>=</includeonly>==Malboro/Malbodoom==<includeonly>=</includeonly>{{see also|Malboro/Malbodoom Timed Quest}}{{:Malboro/Malbodoom Timed Quest}} <includeonly>=</includeonly>==Cactur/Slactuar==<includeonly>=</includeonly>
Care to know what the first one is about? Well, the very first one has you try and slay 100 [[Cactuar]] and [[Slactuar]]s throughout one long and arduous battle; without any break during the entirety of it. If you do somehow manage to best the cactus creatures, you will be rewarded thusly:
When you’re ready to take them on, be aware that you will be tasked with fighting at least 10 of these fellows and if you’re not particularly careful, they will easily knock you down and make your life hell. One of the most useful recommendations is to use AOE spells and wide-arching attacks that will thin their numbers. They are fairly weak to daggers, but with how little space there is between you and they can be really problematic, so it’s best to leave the daggers out of it for this fight.
Depending on just how high level you really are, the Timed Quest should only take you around 10 to 15 minutes to complete in its entirety and turns into quite the efficient grinding spot afterwards. Unfortunately you can’t redo the quest again, but you can in actual fact return to the area where the Cactuars respawn for some very nice experience gains with each one slain. To make that experience even more worthwhile, make sure to stay at a nearby camp for the night, make a meal that increases your experience gained for every task you complete. Oh, and to top it off stay at a hotel after you’re done, so you can get as much of an XP multiplier as you can afford! <noinclude>[[Category:Quest Types]]</noinclude>
