Arcane 101 Quests

Finish your first quest. That single line is the First Lesson badge, and on 15 November 2026 it had been awarded 57,701 times, with 12,337 of those in the past day. It is the on-ramp. The game does not publish a quest log, a quest giver's name, or a chapter list, so the badge text is the quest guide that exists.

The quest the game actually tracks

First Lesson sits in the same band as Saddled Up, the own-a-mount badge, at 57,721, and just above Bramble Breaker, the Forest clear, at 55,313. The opening quest, a mount, and the first land are one stretch of play, not three grinds. Do them together. If a dialogue box offers a mount while the first quest is still up, take the mount. It is not a distraction from the quest. The numbers say players receive it at the same time.

Later "quests" in the badge list are clears and levels, not side errands. Clearing a land is the quest. Beating Thaddeus Crowe is the quest called The Hollow Bargain. Reaching a level is the quest: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, under the names Adept, Magus, Archmage, Grandmaster, Loremaster, and Living Legend. If you are looking for a hidden board of tasks, you will not find one in the public text. The badge list is the board.

What to do when a quest feels stuck

If the first quest will not complete, you are still in the tutorial and codes will not help. Join Lucky's Pals only so the code box works later. Do not reroll a race to "fix" a stuck quest. A race does not gate First Lesson. The Forest clear is the next checkbox, and Bramblehorn is the boss the game page puts in that land.

If you are past the Forest and the next land will not clear, that is the normal wall. Frostfang Pass has 13,182 clears against the Forest's 55,313. The quest did not break. The second land is where most players stop. Raise a card, read the combat page, and go back in. Insane and Mythic are optional harder clears of areas you can already beat, not the next quest in the story line.

Rewards you can see

The badges themselves are the published rewards for quests: a name on your profile and a checkpoint. Gear, pets, and mounts have their own badges and are not tied in the text to a specific quest id. Legendary Find is "Own a Legendary piece of gear" at 13,839 awards, which lines up with the Frostfang band, not with the first quest. Expect common rewards early and a legendary piece around the second land, not during First Lesson.
