Quest Guides
Heard about a legendary weapon, spell, or piece of armor? Looking to earn some experience? Bored with nothing better to do? There's no better way to spend your time than by doing a good quest. There are dozens and dozens of quests in Dereth - so many that I am only making a dent in the number with my listing here. Expect more as time goes on. Note that most starter quests are not included. Thanks to Elyria for compiling the starter quest series listed at the very end. Quests used to be broken down into normal quests and Throne of Destiny-only, but with one of the 2009 patches, the devs have made ToD standard to everyone, so that distinction is no longer necessary.
