Do Pio's chair quest before you leave Maple Island, then grab every quest that hands out gear with upgrade slots or a stat scroll: Work Gloves, the Old Raggedy Cape, the Sauna Robe, the Icarus Cape and the Rowen and Jane scroll quests. Skip the ones that eat expensive materials for a reward your class can't use. Every level, requirement and reward below comes from the launch game data. A few things aren't in that data and are marked community-reported where they appear: fame rewards, John's quests being level 45 in testing, Fire Boars as the source of Arwen's Glass Shoe, how long the jump quests are, and Mina as the seller of the Sky-blue Wooden Chair.
Quick answer by level: 5: Pio's chair (missable). 10 to 20: Andre's Request (Work Gloves), Pia and the Blue Mushroom, Jane and the Mushroom. 21 to 30: Proof of Companionship (KPQ), Stranger's Identity (cape), Cutthroat Manny (class shoes), Maya's Weird Medicine chain (hat). 30 to 40: Returned Secret Book (Sauna Robe), Shumi's jump quests, Rowen's Cursed Dolls, Riel's Florina chain. 40 to 50: Icarus (cape), Jane's Final Challenge, Taking Out the Alligators, Manji's Gladius.
About fame: fame rewards aren't in the launch game data, so every fame number on this page is community-reported, not verified. EXP, mesos, items and requirements come from the game data.
How we picked
A quest makes this list if it gives at least one of: equipment with upgrade slots, a stat or attack scroll, fame, a big meso payout, or something you'll need later (like the Star Rock for Manji's Gladius). EXP alone isn't enough, since nearly every quest gives EXP. Levels, requirements and rewards come from the launch game data. Fame, John's old testing level, the Glass Shoe's drop source, jump-quest length and the chair's seller aren't in that data, so those are community-reported. Whether a scroll or item is worth more than its materials depends on Free Market prices, which we don't track here.
Maple Island (levels 1 to 10)
| Quest | Lv | Why do it |
|---|---|---|
| Pio's Collecting Recycled Goods | 5 | The Green Relaxer chair (restores 30 HP every 10 seconds), plus 100 EXP and 150 mesos |
Do it before you board. The boat off Maple Island is one-way, so the chair is missable on that character. A fallback if you miss it is the Sky-blue Wooden Chair, with the same 30 HP every 10 seconds. Its item text says it's only available in Lith Harbor, and community sources list it at Mina in the Lith Harbor Department Store. The data has no shop price; the chair sells to NPCs for 500 mesos.
Levels 10 to 20
| Quest | Lv | Start | Reward worth having |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andre's Request | 10 | Nella, Kerning City | Work Gloves (5 slots). Needs 1 Pure Water, 20 Octopus Legs and 30 Octopus kills |
| Fixing Blackbull's House | 11 | Blackbull, Perion | Wooden Buckler (90%) or Steel Shield (10%) |
| Crafting starter quests | 10 | Six crafting NPCs | Unlocks a profession (see the crafting professions guide) |
| Pia and the Blue Mushroom | 16 | Pia, Henesys Park | Random Hat Accuracy Scroll (Lesser, Intermediate or Greater) |
| Mother's Gold Watch | 18 | Chief Stan, then Alex | Weighted Earrings or Yellow Square |

| Jane and the Mushroom | 20 | Jane, Lith Harbor | Random Intermediate weapon attack scroll |
Andre's Request is step 3 of Nella's Kerning City chain, so you'll do Nella's earlier requests first.
Levels 21 to 30
| Quest | Lv | Reward worth having |
|---|---|---|
| Proof of Companionship | 21 | Kill King Slime in KPQ: random Intermediate earring stat scroll, +1 fame (community-reported). Take it before your first run (KPQ walkthrough) |

| Arwen and the Glass Shoe | 29 | Repeatable: 921 mesos and 4,430 EXP per shoe, plus Piece of Ice or Fairy Wing |
| Maya's First / Second Collection | 30 | 30 Orange / 30 Blue Potions and 4,780 EXP each. The 965 mesos each is small; do these for the potions and to open Maya's Lv. 47 Third and Last Collections |
Keep one Piece of Ice from Arwen. Manji's Gladius chain at 50 wants it.
Levels 30 to 40
| Quest or chain | Lv | Reward worth having |
|---|---|---|
| Icarus's Hang Glider → Icarus and the Balloon | 31 | Blue Potions now, but these open the Icarus cape chain at 46. Needs I'm Bored 2 (Lv. 11) done first. Start early |

| Rowen the Fairy's Cursed Dolls (50, 70, 100, 150, 200) | 36 | Ores, then a Gloves Attack or Magic Attack Scroll: Intermediate (150 dolls), then class headgear (200 dolls). +9 fame (community-reported) across the chain. Needs Returned Secret Book done, and 570 Zombie Lupin kills on top of the dolls |
| Special Taste of Florina Beach I to IV | 37 | 15,210 mesos across four quests, the biggest meso payout on this list before 40, +2 fame (community-reported) on the last |
Monstrous Tree Stumpy (Lv. 34, Winston in East Rocky Mountain II) rewards 3,937 EXP, 1,082 mesos and a Gloves Crit. Rate Scroll: Chaos. It also gives +5 fame (community-reported). See the Old Tree chain guide.
Save your Cursed Dolls. Rowen's chain eats 570 of them (50 + 70 + 100 + 150 + 200) plus the same number of Zombie Lupin kills. Among the quests in our database, only Rowen's five steps use them. The raw launch data also holds a Forgotten Hollow quest that asks for 30, but that area isn't open, so treat it as unconfirmed until it is.

Forgotten Hollow adds its own quest chains from level 39, but the area isn't open yet. See the Forgotten Hollow guide.
Quests you can skip (or put off)
- Luke the Security Guy's Wish to Travel (Lv. 46) if you're not a Warrior. It eats a Black Feather, 10 Orihalcon Ingots, 20 Screws, 30 Drake Skulls and 20 Dragon Skin for a Bronze Crusader Helm, and only Warriors can wear that.
- Building a New House For Blackbull if you craft. Besides 100 Stone Golem Rubble and the Deed, its 30 Screws and 30 Processed Wood are crafting inputs; decide which matters more to you.
- Camila's Gem if you only want the weapon. It's a 30% roll for Pig Illustrated; otherwise you get Cake.
- John's Deep Forest of Patience until 65. All three runs start at level 65 in the launch data; community reports (unverified) say they were 45 in testing, so guides from the closed tests are out of date.
- Most "deliver a letter" quests if you're short on time. They give EXP and little else. They're fine filler on your way somewhere.
