Nobody likes doing yard work, and anybody who claims they like pulling weeds, mowing lawns and chopping wood is either full of manure or they're trying to con you into thinking yard work is fun.
But, as this Is It Canon comic shows, if a low level hero shows up on your doorstep looking for a quest it's okay to lie to them, because doing all that thankless work for nothing builds character- and they've gotta earn XP somehow!
