Dragon Quests
Dragon Quests are quests you can start taking at level 20, and every 10 levels (starting at level 31) adds a new Dragon Quest (or "DQ" for short), with better odds at better rewards, up to level 91. The rewards, called Dragon Orders, are given after completing the tenth part of each Dragon Quest. Once a Dragon Quest is completed, it can be started again immediately.
Rewards
After completing the tenth stage of a Dragon Quest you are given some EXP, SP, and one Dragon Order. There are three kinds of Dragon Orders: Copper Dragon Orders, Silver Dragon Orders, and Gold Dragon Orders. The higher the level at which you accept the quest, the more EXP & SP you are rewarded upon completion and the better odds you have at a more valuable Dragon Order. The rewards are as follows:
| DQ Level | EXP reward | SP reward | Copper DO odds | Silver DO odds | Gold DO odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 15,000 | 3,200 | 100% | 0% | 0% |
| 31 | 24,500 | 5,200 | 100% | 0% | 0% |
| 41 | 36,000 | 7,500 | 80% | 20% | 0% |
| 51 | 49,500 | 10,200 | 70% | 30% | 0% |
| 61 | 65,000 | 13,400 | 60% | 40% | 0% |
| 71 | 84,400 | 17,300 | 0% | 90% | 10% |
| 81 | 110,500 | 22,600 | 0% | 80% | 20% |
| 91 | 142,500 | 29,100 | 100% | 70% | 30% |
Dragon Orders are used for attaining legendary molds, mounts, or other items from the Dragon Herald NPC in any race's starting area. To get the molds or other items you usually need many of these Dragon Orders (e.g., 50 copper and 30 silver). The molds are used for crafting legendary armor (levels 40, 60, & 80), legendary weapons (level 50), and legendary ornaments (levels 31, 86, & 87). These items are extremely powerful for their level, thus are quite valuable. They are made from the Legendary Forges near General Summer in Southwest Archosaur, and require more materials than usual, including the blood items you get from doing FBs.
Sequence of Missions
The things you need to do for each step in the Dragon Quests seem to be random, except for the final stage for each level. There are 10 steps to each DQ in which you must travel to various NPCs across the map (mostly in the large cities). Some NPCs will give you the next step for free, some will demand some number of Dragon Quest items, and some will give you an option of killing some number of creatures or paying to get to the next stage. It will most likely cost you a hefty fee to do all the traveling, so it is usually best to do each stage when you happen to be in the area anyways.
Each Dragon Quest will show the ten steps with these names in the following order in your quest window:
| DQ Step | Step Name | Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hidden Dragon | free |
| 2 | Sweeping Tail | DQ item quest |
| 3 | Gliding Dragon | free |
| 4 | Diving Dragons | kill mobs -or- pay fee |
| 5 | Occasional Encounter | DQ item quest |
| 6 | Dragon Lord | DQ item quest |
| 7 | Wise Retreat | free |
| 8 | Dashing Dragons | DQ item quest |
| 9 | Dragon and Phoenix | free |
| 10 | Overwhelming Power | final boss or bosses |
For a "DQ item quest" you will have to have some number of Dragon Quest items of that level. For "kill mobs -or- pay fee" you will either have to kill some number of a specific monster or pay a fee to get past that quest. It's recommended that you always kill the monsters for that type of Dragon Quest. For the final stage you will have to kill some mobs or a final boss to complete the Dragon Quest. And for "free" you just have to visit the NPC to proceed to the next step.
So, for example, when you complete "Dragon and Phoenix", your next mission will be the final step, "Overwhelming Power", where you kill the final boss or bosses for that Dragon Quest and get your rewards.
Bosses
Each level of Dragon Quest has a fixed boss or bosses for the final stage. They are:
| DQ Level | Boss Name | Count | Level | HP | EXP | SP | Location(s) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | Frail Blob | 10 | 22 | 2,808 | 109 | 25 | South and West of Archosaur |
| 31 | Dual-Bladed Centipex | 10 | 26 | 3,557 | 131 | 29 | 548 730 |

| 51 | Bloodlust Feligar | 1 | 57 | 79,570 | 286 | 60 | 311 581 |
| 61 | Sori Dualhammer | 1 | 66 | 87,280 | 333 | 69 | 539 361 |
| 71 | Wicked Yayan | 1 | 71 | 101,190 | 358 | 74 | 533 411 or 542 481 |
| 81 | Grinning Cougaret | 1 | 87 | 153,935 | 437 | 90 | 220 734 or 105 784 |
| 91 | Siren Assassin | 1 | 89 | 194,228 | 1,127 | 166 | 269 866 |
Starting at DQ41 all of the bosses are single elite class mobs that you have to kill.

For each level of Dragon Quest there are six items that may be needed to complete the DQ item quests of that level. Those items are (in alphabetical order):
| DQ Level | Value | Item #1 | Item #2 | Item #3 | Item #4 | Item #5 | Item #6 |

Dragon Quest items are fairly valuable and easy to collect, so most people just sell them to NPCs for coins. If you plan on doing Dragon Quests you will instead want to save some of these items for when they are needed.
