Metro_boomin_the_weeknd_21_savage_creepin_jan_h... - "Creepin’" is more than just a successful chart-topper; it is a profound commentary on the human desire to avoid emotional pain at all costs. Through Metro Boomin’s masterful sampling and the vocal chemistry between The Weeknd and 21 Savage, the song captures the essence of a classic while offering a new, darker perspective on betrayal. It remains a testament to the power of musical legacy, proving that some themes—like the agony of a broken heart—are timeless, even when wrapped in the "ignorance" of a hauntingly beautiful melody. Listening to CREEPIN by Metro Boomin - ANALYSIS + REVIEW The Architecture of Betrayal: A Study of "Creepin’" The 2022 collaboration "Creepin’," featuring Metro Boomin , The Weeknd, and 21 Savage, stands as a masterclass in modern musical reinterpretations, blending the nostalgic essence of early 2000s R&B with the dark, polished production of the contemporary era. Released as a standout single from Metro Boomin’s second studio album, Heroes & Villains , the track is not merely a cover but a complex exploration of heartbreak, denial, and the toxic cycle of infidelity. By reimagining Mario Winans’ 2004 classic "I Don’t Wanna Know," the trio constructs a haunting narrative that highlights the psychological toll of "ignorance is bliss". Nostalgia as a Foundation metro_boomin_the_weeknd_21_savage_creepin_jan_h... The lyrical content of the song dives deep into the "ignorance is bliss" defense mechanism. The Weeknd delivers a vulnerable, almost pleading performance, portraying a man who is acutely aware of his partner’s infidelity but refuses to face the reality of it. His lyrics—"Somebody said they saw you / The person you were kissing wasn’t me"—reveal a crushing certainty, yet his immediate refrain of "I don’t wanna know" underscores a desperate fear of loneliness. This portrayal suggests that for some, living within a comfortable lie is preferable to the devastating truth of a relationship’s end. Contrasting Perspectives on Infidelity "Creepin’" is more than just a successful chart-topper; The track gains further depth through the inclusion of 21 Savage, whose verse offers a starkly different reaction to betrayal. While The Weeknd is emotive and desperate, 21 Savage delivers a colder, more detached perspective. He channels the cadence of the original P. Diddy verse from "I Don’t Wanna Know," but with a gritty modern twist that emphasizes the paranoid atmosphere of the track. This duality highlights the various ways individuals process heartbreak: one through emotional suppression and the other through a hardened, cynical detachment. Conclusion Listening to CREEPIN by Metro Boomin - ANALYSIS At its core, "Creepin’" is built on the skeletal remains of the past. Metro Boomin’s production cleverly utilizes the iconic melody of Winans’ hit, which itself sampled Enya’s "Boadicea" and the Fugees’ "Ready or Not". This layering of samples creates an immediate sense of familiarity for listeners, bridging generational gaps. However, Metro Boomin infuses the production with moody, atmospheric melodies and heavy bass, modernizing the sound to fit the dark aesthetic synonymous with his and The Weeknd’s work.

This is awesome! Appreciate your efforts ~ this guide motivates me to actually put some time and do some questing.
Hi, thanks for your guide! I just did these 3 quests. Only the third gives me xp, total of 500k (with the multiplier). So you have to finish all and give 30 worms to the timer egg before getting any xp. Didn't receive fame.
I actually never completed the last part because I didn't care about fame, so I went back and completed it just now and it looks like you're correct. It's weird though, because when you talk to the NPC it says the reward is 11 fame, but then you just get 500k exp. I guess the quest might be bugged, so I'll submit a bug report and update the guide to reflect this. Thanks for finding this! Here's proof of the quest reward according to the NPC and what you actually receive.
This thread is seriously underrated! Thank you for putting it together! I want to add a few quests to that list from lv 35-50 range: Rowen and the Cursed Doll (Requires Mr. Wetbottom's playboy book preq, tedious but a lot of EXP!) https://bbb.hidden-street.net/quest/victoria-island/rowen-the-fairy-and-the-cursed-dolls The Antidote (Rowen Quest 2.0 also decent EXP!) https://bbb.hidden-street.net/quest/ludus-lake/the-antidote The Revolutionary Plan for Constructing a Wall (Time-limited <30 minutes) https://bbb.hidden-street.net/quest...tionary-plan-for-constructing-defensive-walls
Shumi's coin quest at lv 20 gives 6000 base (before royals 3.2x exp), instead of 1600 EXP. *Note, pic is taken during 30% exp event Welcome to new leaf city is now lv 20 quest
Thanks for finding this! I just tested the New Leaf City Quiz, and while it says Over Level 20, I was able to accept it on a level 17 character. As for Shumi's Coin, I'll update that right now.
Do you know when it was nerfed? Because that quest is from the original quests worth doing guide which was written in 2017.
Sure lemme dig it up, it was late 2020. I'll edit it to this post when I find it. EDIT: Hmm I couldn't find it in late 2020, memory served me wrong. Though I do remember even asking Gert why is was nerfed :S (maybe it was Gert telling me the level is 20 to get the quest). I could only find the nerf from late 2017 during new source, but can't find if it was changed again. https://royals.ms/forum/threads/new-source-update-48-24-12-2017.111769/#post-623070
Interesting... I guess for now I'm just going to leave it as level requirement: 15 because for all intents and purposes, you can get it by then. If it ever gets fixed, then I can update the guide.
minor nitpick, but is it possible to update the list with the region the quest is in? e.g. DANGER! <1-G. Mushroom> (Sleepywood)
Avoiding talk to "A Familiar Lady" after you killed Nine-Tailed Fox, else you will be rewarding 10 fame instead of 15 fame... not to mention she will steal away your old fox's tail as well... and will need to redo the quest... btw, Nice guide for newbie =D have fun guys
10/10 guide! Just a side note: In order to activate Muirhat(myboi!) quest line , you have to click on the Rubbish Bin near to Muirhat and complete some prequest so only you could start the stone golem and other Muirhat’s quest!
Fyi, pretty sure I've completed the entire magatia questline up to For Phyllia/For Zemunist/For Alcadno. It works and is one of the best questlines in the game!
