Journal & Mission Tracking
Effectively tracking your progress through Mass Effect 3's vast campaign is made possible by the Journal and Mission Log. These tools are indispensable for keeping tabs on your main story objectives, side quests, and any special assments you pick up along the way, ensuring you don't miss crucial details or opportunities.
The Journal is your central hub for all active and completed quests. It's divided into several categories, typically including Main Missions, Side Missions, and Assments. Each entry provides a brief description of the objective, often hinting at the location or next steps required. For example, a side mission might prompt you to scan a specific planet in a particular star system, or to speak with a certain NPC on the Citadel.
Pay close attention to the details provided in the Journal. Many assments require you to explore the galaxy, scan planets, or retrieve specific items. For instance, scanning planets can yield valuable resources like Fuel, Units, and even crucial War Assets. The Journal will often guide you towards these opportunities. After completing a mission or interacting with a new character, it's always a good idea to check your Journal, as new objectives or hints may have been added, opening up new avenues of exploration or questlines.
Assments are often more open-ended than main or side missions and can range from collecting specific items to assisting various factions. Successfully completing these assments not only progresses your overall War Effort but also often rewards you with valuable resources, experience points, or even unique War Assets. Efficiently managing your Journal ensures you maximize your rewards and experience everything Mass Effect 3 has to offer.
