The quests of Arc I
In Almar nobody asks for help just for the sake of it. A miller who can’t stop coughing, a dog that is turning to stone, walls that sing at the bottom of the mine. Here are all the jobs of the first arc: what they’re about, who gives them, where, and in what order they open.

6story quests
9stone tears
No big spoilers. Each quest tells its opening, the way whoever gives it tells you. The main plot, after you leave Brezo, only shows its name: its description opens with a tap, if you want to see it. The steps and the surprises stay in the game.
The timeline

The main plot: find your master and save your twin.
- Petrified8
Someone is turning to stone. A potion in time brings them back, and gives you a stone tear.
- Companions17
With your allies: earn their trust and help them with their own troubles.
- Remedies7
A potion for someone who needs it: a syrup, a light, a fence that grows by itself.
- Hunts10
A named enemy that only shows up while the job lasts.
- Rumors9
Something strange someone saw or heard. You have to go and look.
- Gathering5
Gather what’s needed: wheat, flowers, flint, mint.
