Quests and levels
The main quest line by level, scrap quests, rewards and how much XP each level costs.
Quests are accepted at the quest station on your faction's base (the lower hub and Zenith Bastion). You can progress and abandon them anywhere. At most 3 can be active at once, 5 with VIP. Set their order in the journal with the arrows: when two quests want the same thing (for example kills), only the higher one progresses. The reward is paid automatically once every objective is done. Some quests have objectives that must be done in order, one after another.
How the main line works
- Every quest belongs to a level and opens as soon as you reach it – on levels 1 to 12 you don't have to finish the previous level's quests first.
- The number of quests per level grows with the level; from level 13 there are 9 to 10 per level. Some of them unlock in pairs.
- Every level has a scrap quest: collect the given number of scrap pieces from monster piles and unload them in your Scrap-yard. The amount grows with the level.
- Some quests send you to other factions' maps, into galaxy gates or hunting pilots of enemy factions (PvP).
- Some quests also give gear, keys, orbs or a drone, see the tables below.
Next to the main line there are daily quests (hunts, bounties) you can complete again and again.
