Twenty Bear Asses is a sub-category of Fetch Quest that involves going around killing enemies and collecting a certain amount of a specific item that these enemies randomly drops. They are most common in MMORPGs. The common hypothetical example involves a woodsman NPC asking the Player Character to deliver 20 sections of bear to him. Frequently overlaps, either in the same quest or same area, with Mass Monster Slaughter Sidequest. Compare Cash Gate, which requires you to collect something useful to proceed, usually money. Not to be confused with Cheek Copy, which could result in 20 bare asses.

  • Twenty Bear Asses is a sub-category of Fetch Quest that involves going around killing enemies and collecting a certain amount of a specific item that these enemies randomly drops. They are most common in MMORPGs. The common hypothetical example involves a woodsman NPC asking the Player Character to deliver 20 sections of bear to him. This sort of quest can draw attention to the inherent Fridge Logic of Random Drops, such as when the drop in question is a vital body part that all monster corpses should have, like a liver, feet, or a head. A flimsy justification is that the body part may have been compromised during the fight. Turns out only pristine bear asses will do, even when the woodsman just wants twenty bears dead and doesn't actually want to make anything out of the bear asses. That is one picky woodsman. This type of quest can frequently not fit in thematically with a story, and could be arbitrarily inserted into any location the player is at (Lava Bears, Mist Bears, Greater Bears, Hellbears...) as long as there's a bear with the perfect ass required to make... whatever. It may not make sense for the player characters to accept them, and, in the worst case, may be a form of Fake Longevity. Frequently overlaps, either in the same quest or same area, with Mass Monster Slaughter Sidequest. Compare Cash Gate, which requires you to collect something useful to proceed, usually money. Not to be confused with Cheek Copy, which could result in 20 bare asses. Examples of Twenty Bear Asses include:
