Quests

The Return Shrine Statue

Daily Quests are the set of four tasks assigned to players each day that offer a reward of Currency when completed. There are two methods for accessing Quests after a reset: by interacting with the Return Shrine Statue in Home, or by visiting the Ancestors waiting at the Aviary Village Archway Cafe Counter. Once a Quest has been completed, returning to interact with the Return Shrine Statue or the archway counter Ancestors again will reward players with one Candle per completed Quest. Each of the visiting archway counter Ancestors will leave once their associated Quest is completed, and when all four have been completed, sit down to receive a Light-filled treat. The Cafe Manager will then clean up, turn off the lights, and leave for the day. The Daily Quests and their associate Spirits are being tracked on the Quests/Daily Quest Spirits page.

Pressing the upper-left corner of the screen (iOS and Android), the left arrow on the D-Pad (PlayStation and Switch), or the Shift key (PC) will toggle a menu showing the Daily Quests.

The daily list of Quests will always be made up of five different categories:

• Friend Actions/Interactions
• Gameplay Actions
• Visit a Meditation Shrine
• Find the Light
• Relive a Spirit's memories

Each day the location of the Daily Quests change, cycling through almost every Realm in turn, typically following directly after the day's chosen Daily Treasure Candle Realm. Neither Isle of Dawn nor the Eye of Eden will have Quests. During Seasonal Events, Quests are nearly identical to those given off-Season, though they will reward the player with Season Candles instead.

Some Quests can only be done in a specific area within the Realm in question. These include Meditation Quests, or Quests such as to rescue a Manta from Darkness. For these types of Quests, players can use a Map Shrine, where their locations within the Realms will be marked with yellow icons. Most of the time, all Quests for the day can be completed within the daily Realm, but there is no requirement that this should be the case.

Most of the following graphics were made by Clement from the Sky CotL: Infographics Database.

Trivia

• In Patch 0.15.0 that arrived September 2021, access to Daily Quests was moved from the Quest Giver to the Return Shrine Statue at Home. In the much later Patch 0.23.5 from December 2023, Daily Quests were briefly changed to be exclusively accessed from the Return Shrine Statue at Aviary Village, before Patch 0.23.6 (40400 A, H, I, P) returned them back to Home a few days later.
• When Patch 0.15.0 changed access to Daily Quests, a particular spirit similar to Sleepy Traveler who had been teaching the Daily Quests at the home during the Off-Season (the Daily Quest Giver), left the home. Since patch 0.26.5 the Spirit at the counter in Aviary Village is considered to be this Quest Giver.
• The Quest to meditate at the Forest Brook Shrine was previously called "Meditate at Forest's hollow tree."
• The Quest to meditate on the First Floor of Vault was previously called "Meditate with the Spirit Mantas."
• For the Season of Enchantment, the "catch the light" Quests were replaced by the colored light Quests that are originally given by the Quest Giver in Forgotten Ark. After the Season ended, not only did the old light Quests return, but the colored light Quests stayed.
