Skills & Raids Quest & Mission Guide
Complete every quest and maximize your rewards.
Quest Overview
Quests in Skills & Raids provide structure, rewards, and progression across the full Steam release. The complete campaign includes 21+ quests spanning tutorial objectives, main story beats, and optional side content discovered during extractions.
Understanding quest types—and where they trigger on the map—helps you advance efficiently without dying with half-finished objectives in your log.
Quest Types (Steam Store)
The Steam store page lists several quest categories that appear throughout the campaign:
Target Objectives
- Defeat specific enemies or elites marked on your quest tracker
- Often gate access to new extraction zones or crafting recipes
- Pair with Combat positioning tips for efficient clears
Resource Collection
- Gather materials from nodes, chests, or enemy drops within a zone
- Stack with sendback points so collection quests do not overflow your inventory (see Extraction)
- Route multiple collection tasks in the same area when possible
Ability Use Objectives
- Complete encounters using designated skills or character abilities
- Encourages experimenting with Free Skills and enemy drops from Skills
- Read quest text before entering a zone so you equip the required abilities
Additional Variants
- Exploration and node-entry objectives tied to story progression
- Extraction-linked tasks that reward successful hauls
- Side quests with optional lore and bonus gear
Main Story Progression
Early Game
- Tutorial missions teach movement, targeting, pause, and extraction
- First main quests unlock basic crafting and introduce Shelldon, Clawrk, and Owlivia roles
- Complete the opening three quests before pushing into harder zones
Mid Game
- Area unlocks expand the map—consult Map Areas for node locations, healing stations, and sendback points per zone
- Story missions increase enemy density; bring safe pocket discipline
Late Game
- Remaining main quests conclude the narrative and unlock endgame crafting
- Side quests fill gear gaps while you farm Rare and Epic materials
Side Quest Strategy
- Complete side quests while routing main objectives through the same zone
- Prioritize quests that unlock skills or crafting stations
- Do not abandon a run with nearly finished collection progress—send back bulk loot and finish
Quest Rewards
Rewards include experience, quest-specific gear, crafting materials, skill unlocks, and currency for vendors. Main story quests provide the largest power spikes; side quests supply breadth and lore.
Quest Tips
- Read descriptions fully—ability-use quests fail if you swap skills mid-run without checking requirements
- Use map markers from Map Areas to minimize backtracking
- Extract with quest items in safe pocket when optional fights remain
