I'll be honest, I'm basically anti-encouraging quests, as someone who always preferred to write their own storylines (which is harder in a way - no prompt) but always felt pressured to take quests because there was always a greater reward for doing so.
The problem is also balancing. When I let people do their own quest rewards, usually people writing them had cool story ideas but often no idea of balanced rewards. I'd be okay with it, but it requires me to personally go through every quest and balance the rewards - all for the benefit of gimmick items that you could just make up as roleplay fodder. Now, roleplay fodder rewards are another thing. I'd much rather quest writers stuck to those. If the saibamen seeds can't be used in a fight, or are just for fun? (Don't actually help you, in other words) then cool, fine.
Most of Alex's faction quests give some kind of fodder reward, which is p. cool. Personally I don't really write quests/prompts unless it's part of a larger overarching thing - just not my shtick tbh (probably because I don't 'get it' on a personal level, as aforementioned, I like to build storylines out of my character's motivations).

Curious about me and the characters I play? See the 'Staff' page! See also the rosters for my characters Samus Aran or Enel if you'd like to see examples of well-formatted rosters. Hope you enjoy the Omniverse!
