Quest (XC3)

Quests in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 are tasks given to the party, usually by NPCs or automatically triggered by story progression. Most quests are not required to complete the story. Quests are organized on this page based on the region from which they can be acquired.

Types of Quests
There are several different types of quests in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. They are as follows:


 * Regular Quests: The majority of these quests are optional. Most are acquired by first listening to dialogue from NPCs that appears in yellow dialogue boxes then using the discussion option at a canteen or camp site. Some can also be acquired by heading to a place with a ? on the map. Some of these quests will require a particular hero to be in the party to either be found or be completed.


 * Hero Quests: These quests involve either recruiting a hero to the party or increasing the level of the hero and their class. Some of these appear as part of the main story while others are optional. They are broken out into three sub categories:
 * Regular Hero Quests: Quests used to initially recruit the hero to the party
 * Ascension Quests: Quests that will level up the hero to level 20 and enable their class to be leveled up to 20. These require at least one main party member to have attained level 10 of the class and may also have some other prerequisites.
 * Side Story Quests: Each of the 6 main characters has a Side Story quest that once completed will enable their class to go up to level 20. Noah and Mio's Side Stories are a required part of the main story. Eunie, Taion, Lanz and Sena's Side Stories are optional.
