Hi there! In looking through the prayers and missions, I wanted to make a few suggestions and voice some concerns that I had.

In the past, we've had missions that have only required 1,000 EXP/10,000 followers. Usually this condition is relatively easy to get, and that's definitely not my complaint. However, in the most recent round, I've noticed that the conditions for all but one mission listed right now are double that. This might just be that all earlier missions have been fulfilled, but this creates something of a wide gap of points between players. As it stands right now, only 5-10% of characters currently in the game can actually take advantage of the mission system.

There are also quite a few missions (at least 7) that make reference to an NPC god and/or goddess, but there is no active information about the gods that are mentioned. Speaking from personal experience, I was not aware of Ameterasu being an NPC goddess until there was an event that specifically involved her; and even then, I knew very little about her within the setting itself.

Both of these issues create a barrier of entry for those new players who want to get involved, but either 1) do not know who the NPCs are and what their significance is to the overall setting; and 2) would like to one day participate in missions, but are either deterred or otherwise unable to due to the ramping conditions.

My personal suggestions would be to look into front-loading missions and having difficulties scale proportionally. For example, if you have 8 missions on your list, having 3 at the 1,000 EXP/10,000 Followers price point, 2 at 2,000 EXP/20,000 Followers, 2 at 3,000 EXP/30,000 Followers, and 1 at 4000EXP/40,000 Followers; each with ramping difficulties based upon how rare they are. Obviously missions that have story requirements should stay as is.

For NPCs, I feel like having a page that gives a short blurb about each would be extremely helpful. Obviously we can look up who the god or goddess is in the greater pantheon, but giving players an idea of who they are in the setting and what they have been up to would be extremely helpful.

I always love seeing what the mods come up with for this game, and playing with everyone here. I hope this helps!
