Grow an army of THIS size.
Travel THIS distance.
Get to HERE.
Survive for THIS amount of time.
Defeat THIS enemy (boss or w/e)
Find THIS person/item/place.

etc etc.
Is there any particular theme to your ORPG?

oh and replace THIS and HERE with your quest objectives. lol.

Sorry to break it to you but

Grow an army of THIS size.

Get to HERE.
Survive for THIS amount of time.
Defeat THIS enemy (boss or w/e)
Find THIS person/item/place.

Describes just about all the different types of quests normally done in rpgs.

Just about the only other things I can think of is...
Make this item (crafted from items bought or found dropped off select enemies)
Beat this minigame (slots, a quiz, race with abilities, etc.)
Kill an enemy within this time limit

Frankly, if u want the quests to feel less repetitive and more creative u should focus on creating little back-stories for them or a combination of quest types (eg. Collect 5 herbs to help me make a a tonic to cure the leprosy plauging the cillage, the herbs are most easily obtained by killing the plains centaurs and then purifying their remains )

wow: some people are more creative then I would have expected, nicely done polo2005

steal DAT item without getting detected
assassinate DAT dude without anyone detecting you
burn down a curch and place false evidence on somebody else without getting caugh
raise/train and feed an homless boy/gal/animal for x time
travel to x in a venchile using your arrows on they keyboard without getting stuck or hitting anything
find/track down and identify a spy/traitor/assassin in a crowded area, by talking to people, bribe them for info, threatening them for info about the spy/traitor/assassin before he kills your target

Don't be unappreciative and expect more help.

• Locate X item before your enemies/other players do.
• Plant X traps around enemy buildings/units without getting caught.
• Chain Delivery - Collect item A, deliver to unit X in exchange for item B, which you deliver to unit Y in exchange for item C etc.
• Collect X charges of item A to give to unit R. Bandits along the way home will ambush you and steal 1 charge of item A when they attack, so stay as far away as possible.
• Escort a unit to X location, while protecting it from enemies along the way. You cannot control the unit, but must stay within a certain range or it will be captured by enemies.
• Fight through endless waves of enemies. Every enemy killed has a chance to drop an item X; collect enough item X's to halt the waves and continue.
• Figure out a certain combination of items/units/abilities within a time limit for a reward. Managing to do so exceedingly fast adds a bonus to the reward.
• Push back endless waves of monsters to reach a target unit/item/location, at which point the waves will stop. Completing within a certain time grants a bonus reward.

you dont want to know what my fantasies are...

• Eggtastic - Some fallen comrades have been taken by large insect-like natives as egg-incubators. You must destroy the egg sacks, pull your fallen comrades out, and obtain their dogtags.
  
• Merciless - Some of the nearby natives attacked a storage facility and raided it for supplies. You must recover the stolen supplies. Bonus: Your captain will pay you a bonus for teaching the natives a lesson, collect 20 native skulls and burn them in a pile in the middle of their camp.
  
• Bounty (Repeatable) - There are numerous bounties on various strong monsters. When you take this quest 1 monster spawns at a pre-determined location and you are informed of what you must kill, where it is, and how to get a bonus. Bonus: The one who put the bounty on this monster has a preference to how it will be killed or what to do afterwards, ie: Kill with a spell in it's nest, or Kill it's children (adds) before you kill it, etc.
