Right now, the magic rock gives us all our quests. For some quests, which are tutorial type tasks that teach us about the game or how to use a new skill, this makes sense. Other quests are more like little stories, and perhaps we could find those on our own as we travel around the world, rather than the rock suddenly giving it to us. For example, instead of the rock suddenly telling me about the etsi life catalog quest, I could come across the little dustball somewhere in the game and he could ask me for help with finding the object of no intrinsic value and transport me there if I agree to help. Or in the case of the snow cones quest, perhaps I could meet a character in the new desert regions who complains about how hot it is and asks me to get him some snow cones. It would be more fun to get quests as I travel around the world rather than them just popping up out of the blue.
