How quests and commissions work
- Open Quests beneath Portal in High Anchorage. The field journal is read-only. Story assignments activate when their expedition or Pinnacle is discovered; commissions are accepted in Town.
- Each of the three commission slots offers up to three currently eligible assignments from discovered destinations. Choose one per slot. Claiming a reward, or replacing an assignment whose destination has become locked, starts that slot's four-active-hour cooldown. Offline time does not count.
- Combat, harvest, chest, and extraction objectives must be completed in the named destination at or above the assignment's reward level. Story reward level is set when the assignment activates; commissions use the main character's level when accepted, with the quest's minimum level as a floor.
- Delivery objectives read Shared Inventory and Stash. Materials are consumed only when the reward is claimed, using Inventory first and Stash second. Items in Mail or paid crafting escrow do not count as available delivery stock.
- Choose one of the listed armor rewards and receive the displayed Aurel amount. Reward affixes and rolls are fixed for that assignment and reward level; reopening the journal does not reroll them. Full Shared Inventory sends the equipment reward to Mail.
- Story rewards allow up to six legal ordinary affixes; commission rewards allow up to four, subject to the reward level's normal affix limit and compatible pool. Quest rewards use upper-quartile rolls, not guaranteed maximum rolls.
- Completed story quests remain completed after ascension. Assignments whose required level or destination is no longer accessible pause until available again. Quests do not grant XP or introduce a separate currency.

Introduction
A memorial district needs more than a sealed door to stay habitable. Its defenders won't let repair crews near the failing works. Make some room, then bring me marrow silver and bell sage. We can mend equipment here without disturbing anyone's grave.
Completion
Good silver, and the sage survived the crossing. I'll put both into the repair stores. Your report will help the crews tell a working seal from a door that was meant to stay closed.

Introduction
The caretakers are still tending their plots, but their schedules don't agree. Some of those arks arrived generations apart. Get through the active defenses and recover nickel ballast and sleepmint. I want to see what the old crews were keeping in service.
Completion
Different crews, different schedules, and no one left to settle the argument. The ballast is sound. We'll use what you brought, and keep your observations with the repair notes.

Introduction
Those workings were abandoned, not shut down. The machines are still carrying the last shift's orders under all that pressure. Clear the threats on your route and bring back deepforge ore and ash balm. Don't mistake a quiet machine for a safe one.
Completion
The ore can go straight to the workshop. Keep the balm away from the hot benches. Your report explains why the old works still resist every visitor; it doesn't make those orders worth obeying.
