Quests are a big part of the player-versus-environment side of Cabal Online: they hand out items and experience points as you hunt across Nevareth. The official game guide of 2010 sorted them into five groups.

TypeWhat it is
Hidden questThe simplest kind. Close to field quests but with little link to the main story; rewards are basic items and a fair amount of EXP.
Scenario questTells the story of the game world step by step.
Field questSimilar to hidden quests, but they prepare the way for a dungeon quest.
Dungeon questHarder than field quests and often tied to them; some are needed for rank-up tests.
Rank-up questRaises your battle style (class) rank by one and gives extra rewards.

Rank-up quests and their rewards

A rank-up (class rank) quest comes every ten character levels. Finishing one raises your battle style level by one, increases its stats and unlocks new features. The table below follows the official 2010 list, which was the same for the six original classes apart from the names of their battle modes; it is shortened.

LevelMain reward
10Combo start skill
20Aura mode skill
30Battle Mode 1
40Right to create a guild, Amulet of Bless +1, buffs last 50% longer
50Battle Mode 2 and a new skill

170The same buff skill can be active 3 times

Finding quests

NPCs show a marker above their heads that changes with the state of a quest: before it starts, while it is in progress and when it can be handed in. When a new quest becomes available a New Quest icon appears, and clicking the icon shows a short description of the task.

Quest capsules

Some quests come from capsules dropped in fields and dungeons. The fan wiki splits them in two: the Minesta Training Book chapters, which reward Stain Clones used to craft Battle Mode 3 skill books, and normal capsule quests that pay EXP. Both tables are shortened.

The story chain and the nation quest

At level 52 a character can take the quest for choosing a nation and join either Capella or Procyon, which opens the Nation War. The fan wiki's Nation Quest page lists the long scenario chain behind it: you first clear the first five quests of your starting area, then follow these story arcs in order.

Story arcQuests
The Truth About The Research Group10
The Sage Tower1
The Book of Apocalypse: Part 15
The Secret Organization: Parts 1 and 27 + 7
The Book of Apocalypse: Parts 2 and 35 + 10
The Sword of the Guardian18
The War7
The Missing King20
Cabal Vs. Cabal27
War Clouds5

The last quest of the chain is called The Tower of Sages, Divide, matching the split of Nevareth into two nations told in The Story of Nevareth. For the nations themselves see Nations; for repeatable tasks see Daily Quests.
