Quests

Description

There are 6 quests available on the Guidance server. They can only be viewed, accepted, progressed, and turned in for rewards on that server. The journal (J key by default) will show your active and completed quests under the Quests tab.

Each quest has a summary and a list of objectives. Each objective line can be moused over for how to specifically perform each action, such has which items must be dragged into the crafting menu. This tooltip will also include specific requirements for completing the objective, such as smelting iron in a campfire (a forge will not count towards the objective).

Quests must be completed in the order presented in the journal. Performing objectives early will not count towards progress.

Quest NPCS

The Artisan and Survivalist are in the center of New Dawn, near the server portal crystal. Talking with them will open the Conversation interface that allows accepting and turning in quests.

Mallets & Sickles

Quest Text

Quest Offer: Hey there, stranger. If you want to do much of anything around here, you'll need more tools than you came here with. Tell you what: Go out and make yourself a mallet and a sickle from scratch, then get back to me. I might even give you something nice.

Quest Accepted: Before we even get started, you'll need to learn how to use your toolbelt. Keeping the tools you use most often in your belt will make your life a lot more convenient. Oh, right, you'll also need to be wearing the toolbelt. That part's important.

Quest Completed: Are you still here? Go out and pick some fruit or build a house or something! I'm busy. Okay, not really. But I'd like to be.

Cut down a tree and chop it into logs, create a mallet, find and smelt some iron, create an anvil, and create a sickle.

Journal Text

You'll need plenty of tools throughout your adventures, and you've been advised to start with the basics: A mallet, an anvil, and a sickle.

You'll need to use several tools throughout this quest. Tools can be used by double-clicking the item in your inventory to activate it, or by having the appropriate tool in your toolbelt by opening the toolbelt from the quickbar and dragging the item inside.

Completion Tips

• Despite the existence of a "Tree Chopping Area", players cannot chop trees inside New Dawn.
• There is a community mine southwest of New Dawn (under the obelisk) where iron veins can be found.
• Once you have smelted at least 1 iron in a campfire, the rest can be more quickly smelted and reheated in one of the many forges.
