Excelsior has 2 types of quest systems available.


The first type of quest is the most common, and will be the system used in most quests you find on Excelsior. For this type of quest, you will receive a quest book. Double click the book to open the quest gump. There will be information explaining what is required and a list of tasks that shows your progress.

For "collect" requirements: Click the green "collect" button on the quest gump then target the quest item.

For "Kill" requirements: Make sure you are killing the correct mobs, according to what the quest book states. Note: The quest gump will not refresh automatically while it is open. You must close and re-open the gump to refresh the information.

For "Escort" requirements: Locate the specified NPC, then single click them to receive a menu offering escort information.


The second type of quest available on Excelsior will be done entirely through gumps. You will not receive a quest book, but will be able to track your progress via the "Quest" button on your paperdoll. An example of this type of quest is the Rat quest from Joe in the new player dungeon. Note: You can only have one of this type of quest active at a time. If an NPC tells you they are busy, or that you are already on a quest, single click your character and select either "abandon quest" or "toggle quest item" to abandon it. Once you have cleared your quest log, you will be able to accept another of these quests.


Other important quest information: Most quest items are temporary. This means they will decay a few minutes after you pick them up. Collect them into your quest book immediately to avoid loss.

Most quests have an expiration. This means that you must complete the quest before it expires or you will not be able to finish it and will need to start over. This information is displayed in green at the bottom of the quest gump.

If your quest book expires and you can no longer complete it, the gump will display this information in red text at the bottom.
