12 side quests (2 per zone) from Mira and Gareth. These are kill or collect objectives that give bonus EXP, gold, and items.
Gold ! above NPC = new quest available
Gold ? = quest ready to turn in
Gray ? = quest in progress
No indicator = no quests for you right now
The dot on the Quests button (shortcut bar) only lights when a quest is genuinely ready to accept or turn in. Bounties on cooldown or past the 10-per-day limit don't count — they show greyed out in the quest log's Available tab with their cooldown or 'Daily limit' noted.
Active quests show on the right side of the screen with progress bars.
Incomplete objectives show which zone to travel to if you're on the wrong map.
Completed quests show the turn-in NPC name.
Press J to open the full quest log with details and rewards.
Click a quest name in the tracker to auto-navigate:
A golden arrow guides you toward your active quest objective.
On the minimap: a pulsing gold arrow and diamond marker point to your destination.
On-screen: an arrow appears at the screen edge when your target is off-screen.
If the objective is on another map, the arrow points to the portal you need to take.
When objectives are complete, the arrow guides you back to the turn-in NPC.
Main quests take priority over side quests for pathing.
Hunt mode prioritizes quest target monsters. If a kill quest needs specific monsters (e.g. Goblin Scouts), auto-hunt will prefer those over other nearby enemies.
Collect quests auto-count items already in your inventory when you accept them. You don't need to re-collect items you already have!
Completing main quests triggers story cutscenes that reveal the lore of the Creator, the Light, and the Dark. Entering new zones for the first time also shows an atmospheric introduction. Cutscenes play once per save file.
