What are Dragon Quests?
Dragon Quests are a set of repeatable Quests. The first one opens at level 20, and a new tier is added every ten levels from 31 up to 91. The name comes from the Dragon Quest items that most steps ask for. Each finished run gives a Dragon Order, a token you trade for rewards.
The ten steps
Apart from the first one, a Dragon Quest does not show up in your quest list on its own: you ask a Dragon Quest Director in any race's starting area. Every run has ten steps that send you to NPCs around the map, mostly in big cities. The tasks are partly random, but the step names and types stay in this order:
| Step | Name | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hidden Dragon | Free: just visit the NPC |
| 2 | Sweeping Tail | Hand in Dragon Quest items |
| 3 | Gliding Dragon | Free: just visit the NPC |
| 4 | Diving Dragons | Kill monsters or pay a fee |
| 5 | Occasional Encounter | Hand in Dragon Quest items |
| 6 | Dragon Lord | Hand in Dragon Quest items |
| 7 | Wise Retreat | Free: just visit the NPC |
| 8 | Dashing Dragons | Hand in Dragon Quest items |
| 9 | Dragon and Phoenix | Free: just visit the NPC |
| 10 | Overwhelming Power | Defeat the final boss or bosses |
Tiers and rewards
Finishing step ten gives experience, spirit and one Dragon Order: copper, silver or gold. The higher the tier you take, the more experience and the better your chance at a rare Order. These are the numbers the fan wiki lists; they may have changed since.
| Tier | Quest name | EXP | Spirit | Copper / Silver / Gold odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | Chiu Niu | 15,000 | 3,200 | 100% / 0% / 0% |
| 31 | Yatzu | 24,500 | 5,200 | 100% / 0% / 0% |
| 41 | Chaofeng | 36,000 | 7,500 | 80% / 20% / 0% |
| 51 | Pulao | 49,500 | 10,200 | 70% / 30% / 0% |
| 61 | Suanni | 65,000 | 13,400 | 60% / 40% / 0% |
| 71 | Pahsia | 84,400 | 17,300 | 0% / 90% / 10% |
| 81 | Hsianchang | 110,500 | 22,600 | 0% / 80% / 20% |
| 91 | Fu Chih | 142,500 | 29,100 | 0% / 70% / 30% |
Every tier ends with a fixed boss. Level 20 is the only tier with two different bosses; from level 31 on, each final step is a single elite monster.
Spending Dragon Orders
You trade Dragon Orders to the Dragon Herald in any race's starting area. Most rewards need many Orders at once, for example 50 copper plus 30 silver. The main rewards are:
- Molds for legendary armor (levels 40, 60 and 80), legendary weapons (level 50) and legendary ornaments (levels 31, 86 and 87). They are very strong for their level.
- The molds are turned into gear at the Legendary Forges near General Summer in southwest Archosaur. Crafting also needs normal materials and blood items from dungeons.
- Two level 40 mounts, Silver Mane and Violet Lightning (max speed 9 m/s), for 50 copper and 50 silver Orders each.
