The Quest Hub, located in the Stonecloud, is your primary source for side quests. These quests are offered by various NPCs and typically involve defeating a certain number of specific monsters, collecting rare materials, or completing challenge missions under specific conditions. New quests become available as you progress through the main story and recruit new characters. Always check the Quest Hub before heading out on a main mission, as many side quests can be completed concurrently with your main objectives, saving you time. Completing quests rewards you with gold, experience, and sometimes unique items or recipes. Some quests are repeatable, offering a good way to farm specific materials or gain extra experience. Pay attention to the quest descriptions, as they often provide hints on where to find the required monsters or items.
While Dragon Quest Heroes utilizes a centralized airship hub, Dragon Quest X features a more sprawling, traditional MMO questing structure across the vast continents of Astoltia.
While the Stonecloud serves as a centralized mission board, Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age integrates its side content more organically into a sprawling open world.
