Quests

In Dynasty Warriors Online, quests serve several purposes. They can improve your Domestic Skills, give you gold or items, and increase your Honor. Your actions during a quest are evaluated, and at the completion of the quest, you get a rank ranging from S (high) to E (low). Generally, the better you do on a quest, the better the reward.

This page contains a list of all the quests currently available, as well as the conditions to get an S Rank. Please note that this is a work in progress, and any contributions are much appreciated.

The use of Chun Qiu Annals during a quest will double the domestic points you earn. For example, a quest that normally gives 14 Technology points for S Rank will give 28 Technology points with the use of Chun Qiu Annals. Note once you hit 100 in your domestic stat the faction will automatically get double your points while you get the normal amount. Chun Qiu Complete Set will triple the points earn in a quest.

The amount of honor gained for a quest also depends on your actions during the quest. If you manage to capture a base, you will be rewarded with 4 Honor. So even if the conditions of a quest don't require you to capture a base, you may choose to do so for the additional Honor.

Introduction, Tutorial & Informational Quests

These involve all of the quests and battles you will need to do as part of the tutorial section of the game, along with extra optional quests that you may repeat infinitely. Note that by S Ranking the very first battle you are put into, you may skip most of the tutorial quests. For a more detailed guide and walk through, please click here.

Executing Quests

The first quest is automatically executed after character creation. Tutorial quests from NPCs in the open area of the courtyard will be executed immediately after taking it; if you fail or get disconnected during those quests, simply come back and talk to the same NPC to redo the quest.

All other quests will require you to talk to the Clerk standing right outside the tavern in any Plaza and select Execute Quest.

Rank and Grade of Quests

Each quest gives two domestic bonuses. However, points given for each domestic skill are different. The highest grade attainable in any quest is an "S" rank. The highest grade quest is "A". Each quest has a "Major" domestic skill it increases and a "Minor" domestic skill bonus it increases. In the table below, the major bonus is listed on the left, while the minor bonus is listed on the right.

Rank	Rank E	Rank D	Rank C	Rank B	Rank A	Rank S
Grade E Quests	+1/+1	+2/+1	+3/+1	+4/+1	+5/+2	+10/+5
Grade D Quests	+2/+1	+3/+1	+4/+1	+5/+2	+6/+2	+12/+6
Grade C Quests	+3/+1	+4/+1	+5/+2	+6/+2	+7/+3	+14/+7
Grade B Quests	+4/+1	+5/+2	+6/+2	+7/+3	+8/+4	+16/+8
Grade A Quests	+5/+2	+6/+2	+7/+3	+8/+4	+9/+5	+18/+9

Take for example the Grade E quest Rescue the Daughter; if you achieve an S rank on that quest you will increase your Commerce stat by 10 and Peace stat by 5 (as Commerce is the major bonus and Peace is the minor bonus). If a Chun Qiu Annals was used you will gain 20 Commerce and 10 Peace, with a Chun Qiu Complete Set it'll be 30 Commerce and 15 Peace.

As you can see, S ranking a quest will significantly increase the points you gain towards domestic skills, doubling or tripling the experience you gain in most cases. (Note: For several quests, you will notice that the Rank S-B rewards are items while the Rank C-E rewards are money. Do not be fooled. Domestic skill bonuses are far more valuable. Why? Read more on domestic skills to find out.)

Remember that you can do "Partner" Quests as often as someone else is willing to do them. When doing a Partner quest, (e.g. someone brings you into the Failed Yellow Turbans quest, and you don't have it in your active quests list.) You will receive half the domestic skill bonuses (rounded down) for finishing the quest. You will still be able to do the quest with full value when you execute it yourself.

Some quests have more than one minor/major skill, the same points apply (e.g. Grade A quest, S rank, has 2 minors, each would give +9).

To see total exp requirements for each level see Domestic Skill Level Requirements.

Non-repeatable Quests

These quests do not give out domestic skill points(Craftsman's Request is an exception), and are only doable once.

Quest Name	Players	Client	S Rank Reward	Grade	Domestic Skill
Bases Fundamentals	1	Instructor	Hua Tuo's Journal x1	E	-
Craftsman's Request	1	Master Craftsman	Loom x1 Pot x1 Ore x6 Access to community crafting application tutorial, and a couple of starter recipes.	D	Technology

^: This quest is to teach you how to temper a weapon, you are given a Ruby for this.

Repeatable Quests

A quest can be repeated every couple of hours depending on the grade of the quest. Higher grade quests must wait a longer while before repeating than lower grade quests.

Grade	Time Frame to reappear(Game time)	Time Frame to reappear(Real life)
Grade E quests	1 month	30 hours (1.25 days)
Grade D quests	2 months	60 hours (2.50 days)
Grade C quests	3 months	90 hours (3.75 days)
Grade B quests	4 months	120 hours (5 days)
Grade A quests	5 months	150 hours (6.25 days)

The countdown to when the quest will reappear again will start when you hand in the quest back to the NPC and receive your reward. Also, choosing to abandon a quest will also start the countdown. If you disconnect while questing, you can immediately restart the quest - there isn't a countdown.

Note: Certain quest are only available to generals with bonus to a certain domestic contribution. To get these quest you have to serve a general that give bonus to the appropriate domestic contribution.

• 3 solo quests from a general can always be started from the general you are currently serving. However, you can choose to start these quests from other generals in your faction too. Upon reaching a specific level in domestic contribution, you will make these quests available to be started from any generals with bonus toward that domestic skill. The milestone level are: 15 for The Soldier Prizes Speed, 30 for Destroy the Facility; and 35 for Capture the Messenger (the +10 bonus to domestic skill level from serving a general does not count for this purpose). Once you start a quest from a general, you cannot start the same quest from another general anymore until the next time the quest is available.
