Quests

This page describes all quests in Aground. Quests are given by NPCs and sometimes your character. A list of quests you have received can be accessed by pressing Q, R1, or RB. Selecting a quest in the log can bring up a radar to locate the quest giver if they are on the same map. The icon overlaps the clock and can be obscured by it.
