The journal tells you what to do; this guide tells you what the quest will ask, what it pays, and where players get stuck. Start with a name, a guild or the main story. Generated quests name a different place every time — read the journal before you travel.

How to read a quest in DFO

The journal is the map. It names the region, place, person or target; generated quests choose a different site for every character.
Read the offer twice and write down the place and time. The journal does not always repeat the region, place, person and clock together.
A quest dungeon can be opened as your private instance. Use it when the door asks Public or Your instance.
Online, a failed quest costs no faction standing; a deliberate betrayal or crime still has its own consequences.
The quest rewards page explains the gear choice and tiers; the questline ladder explains line gates.
