Song of Hunter quest rates.

[Yvraine]

Hello, I have a question: the quest says that the more laurels I have, the more chances I have of being given a grade A mission but the truth is that I have barely received at most 4 grade A missions. In the past (like to 2004/05) I could never have done this quest so many times but I had the illusion that at some point only grade A and grade B would come but I still get miserable grade C shit
Has anyone ever done it so many times or is it just a useless quest?

This quest randomly generates the quest list, the higher then number "Laurel Leaf Pin" (>4) and License circle (level 2), you will have more chance get A (very rare) and B missions.

When quest generates a mission list, you need to complete a mission at least, it's not enough to cancel the current mission and re-take a new one, as the available quests list won't change.

Once you've completed a mission from the current list, quest will regenerate a new quest list and hopefully I could take grade A or B missions.

This is the code involved in generating the list of missions:

Does it mean that even if it has 200 laurels, the chances are still low? What a waste of time but at least after so many years I realized that the quest sucks

Unfortunately, L2 is not about quests most of them are either stupid, or boring or unbalanced.
And if buggy game mechanics was changed from chronicle to chronicle, quests remained almost the same.
