unfortunately that's actually one of the best payouts i've seen. it might depend on the item but i usually get around $5-10 profit.

It used to be worse, actually loosing money on the quests. I kind of actually like it (for the most part) on how it is right now. It's not a money-making area, but you won't loose money (unless you're doing the dying for multiple numbers, or making the encrusting quests, I think) either.

The gist I think for the quests, is to raise your stats… which will be used for other things down the line. At least, that's the way I look at it.

We won't expect to really make money on it, but we also won't generally lose either. And for newbies that can fulfill the quests, it'll give them about the same amount as the games area of HoF too.
