Missions
Overview
Missions are small scaling instances available to players level 20 and above. They can be completed Solo or Duo. Each has a unique objective and Twist, a special condition present in the Mission.
There are currently three regions containing Mission quests: Elderslade, Wildwood, Rivendell ("Further Adventures").
If you complete Elderslade Missions at the level cap, a bonus chest will also appear, containing coins and barter currency. For Wildwood and Rivendell Missions this chest appears at all levels.
Duo Missions
Missions can be played by two players in a fellowship, even if they aren't the same level. The procedure:[1]
- When Player A starts the Mission, Player B will see a dialog. Click "OK".
- Player B should then talk to the NPC who granted the Mission.
- Player B should select the same Mission quest, as if to start the solo version. (This step is required for Player B to receive credit for the mission in wrapper quests.)
- Player B should scroll to the bottom of the quest list to "Available Private Encounters", and find the Mission there.
