Quests

Prerequisites

This pages assumes the following:

  1. You have a working scanner.
  2. You read and understood the Dynamic Text Substitutions page.
  3. You are using the latest version of PokeAlarm.

Description

A Quest Event represents when a quest appears in a pokestop.

This currently only works with one scanner.

Note

If you’re unsure as to which reward type your alarm will be reporting, use the generic reward DTS, this will make it so you don’t have any unused or unnecessary space

Warning

Monster and item information is always sent with defaults, so including DTS for these when it’s actually a different reward type will show misleading information.
