I wanted to share a little mod pack I've been working on. I tried to design this so that it could either be dropped into an existing game or work from a new game.
This modlet collection extends the new player White River citizenship quest line to provide some Kill Zombies, Gather & Craft, and Find Item quests to obtain improved tools and equipment. Each item has a small back story and explanation in an attempt to blend with the vanilla game and Trader experience. This gives new players a chance to obtain named-gear through a method other than randomness or traditional progression. I tried to balance the rewards and equipment these quests provide to not provide an excessive reward and throw off balanced gameplay. In most cases, the named items only provide a moderate improvement over the items they were created from.
**This modlet pack is only XML XPath and only needs to be installed on the server!**
This modlet collection provides a multi-tier quest line, first requiring the player to craft a
+Declaration of Citizenship. This allows them to begin a quest to volunteer to help lay to rest 10 old residents now turned zombie. This earns the player a
+White River Citizenship Card which they can then use to select which equipment quest they would like to pursue. The player's citizenship card is returned to them after they complete the quest. If it is lost or the player wants to pursue more than one quest at the same time, the player can craft a new
+Declaration of Citizenship to start the process over of becoming a White Run citizen.

White River - Tools of Citizenship - A18
The White River settlements are looking for new citizens to give extra tools and equipment that they've collected. They are offering to provide a select few survivors access to higher quality equipment in exchange for volunteering to complete various tasks for the settlement. There is a limited supply and these items are only available to those who gain citizenry with White River settlements. In addition to the reward, the player is also offered a small stack of wet concrete blocks, from the last of the Trader's community inventory to assist in re-establishing a homestead.
Citizenship is offered in two-tiers:
- Tier 1 : Kill 10 Zombies. This is the Basic level of citizenship. Reward:
+White River Citizenship Card
- Tier 2 : Kill 100 Zombies. This is the Veteran level of citizenship. Reward:
+White River Veteran Citizenship Card
Once the player obtains their citizenship card, they can use this to craft quest starter items for the equipment quests below. Some of the quests below offer a veteran version which rewards a sealed crate containing better quality, more items, and greater quantity of each multi-quantity item. However, after each "Veteran" quest is complete, only a basic citizenship card is returned. The player must successfully complete the Tier 2 citizenship quest again in order to pursue another Veteran equipment quest below.

And I didn't consider backwards compatibility when I changed item names. The save games I create are all new, so I how I was testing (flawed) wouldn't have caught that one.
