Dragon Quests are series of repeatable quests that can be done from level 20 and above, with additional quests appearing every 10 levels from level 31 to 91. They are so-called due to the Dragon Quest items typically required to complete them. Completing the quests award Dragon Orders which can be exchanged for various rewards.

In order to do these quests the player must have completed the Love of Dragon quest at level 20 prior to 2014-2015. If the player did not complete the quest before this time they will not be able to participate in Dragon Quests but they can still redeem rewards by purchasing the Dragon Orders from the Event Boutique. Newly-made characters will never be able to do Dragon Quests.

Rewards

After completing the tenth stage of a Dragon Quest you are given some EXP, SP, and one Dragon Order. There are three kinds of Dragon Orders: Copper Dragon Orders, Silver Dragon Orders, and Gold Dragon Orders. The higher the level at which you accept the quest, the more EXP & SP you are rewarded upon completion and the better odds you have at a more valuable Dragon Order. The rewards are as follows:

DQ Level	EXP reward	SP reward	Copper DO odds	Silver DO odds	Gold DO odds
20	15,000	3,200	100%	0%	0%
31	24,500	5,200	100%	0%	0%
41	36,000	7,500	80%	20%	0%
51	49,500	10,200	70%	30%	0%
61	65,000	13,400	60%	40%	0%
71	84,400	17,300	0%	90%	10%
81	110,500	22,600	0%	80%	20%
91	142,500	29,100	0%	70%	30%

Dragon Orders are used for attaining legendary molds, mounts, or other items from the Dragon Herald NPC in any race's starting area. To get the molds or other items you usually need many of these Dragon Orders (e.g., 50 copper and 30 silver). The molds are used for crafting legendary armor (levels 40, 60, & 80), legendary weapons (level 50), and legendary ornaments (levels 31, 86, & 87). These items are extremely powerful for their level, thus are quite valuable. They are made from the Legendary Forges near General Summer in Southwest Archosaur, and require more materials than usual, including the blood items you get from doing FBs.

Quest Names

To get the Dragon Quest for each level you have to go talk to a Dragon Quest Director yourself, as no quest will appear in your quest list, except for the DQ20 quest. The Dragon Quest Directors can be found in any of the race's starting areas. The names of the seven Dragon Quests are:

DQ Level	Dragon Quest Name
20	Chiu Niu
31	Yatzu
41	Chaofeng
51	Pulao
61	Suanni
71	Pahsia
81	Hsianchang
91	Fu Chih

The Various Dragon Quest levels are basically the same, except for the rewards (as described above), mobs to kill, and items used get higher level each time, and the locations tend to send you to higher level locations on the map.

Sequence of Missions

The things you need to do for each step in the Dragon Quests semi-random, except for the final stage for each level. There are 10 steps to each DQ in which you must travel to various NPCs across the map (mostly in the large cities). Some NPCs will give you the next step for free, some will demand some number of Dragon Quest items, and some will give you an option of killing some number of creatures or paying to get to the next stage. It will most likely cost you a hefty fee to do all the traveling, so it is usually best to do each stage when you happen to be in the area anyways.

Each Dragon Quest will show the ten steps with these names in the following order in your quest window:

DQ Step	Step Name	Type
1	Hidden Dragon	free
2	Sweeping Tail	DQ item quest
3	Gliding Dragon	free
4	Diving Dragons	kill mobs -or- pay fee
5	Occasional Encounter	DQ item quest
6	Dragon Lord	DQ item quest
7	Wise Retreat	free
8	Dashing Dragons	DQ item quest
9	Dragon and Phoenix	free
10	Overwhelming Power	final boss or bosses

For a "DQ item quest" you will have to have some number of Dragon Quest items of that level. For "kill mobs -or- pay fee" you will either have to kill some number of a specific monster or pay a fee to get past that quest. It's recommended that you always kill the monsters for that type of Dragon Quest. For the final stage you will have to kill some mobs or a final boss to complete the Dragon Quest. And for "free" you just have to visit the NPC to proceed to the next step.

So, for example, when you complete "Dragon and Phoenix", your next mission will be the final step, "Overwhelming Power", where you kill the final boss or bosses for that Dragon Quest and get your rewards.

Bosses

Each level of Dragon Quest has a fixed boss or bosses for the final stage. They are:

DQ Level	Boss Name	Count	Level	HP	EXP	SP	Location(s)
Dragon Quest	Frail Blob	10	22	2,808	109	25	South and West of Archosaur
20	Dual-Bladed Centipex / Ossein Merchant	10 / 10	26 / 27	3557 / 3415	131 / 136	29 / 30	541 725 / 549 782
31	Striped Spider King	1	38	27,440	192	41	570 539
41	Mythical Wolfkin	1	48	51,170	241	51	378 823
51	Bloodlust Feligar	1	57	79,570	286	60	311 581
61	Sori Dualhammer	1	66	87,280	333	69	539 361
71	Wicked Yayan	1	71	101,190	358	74	533 411 or 542 481
81	Grinning Cougaret	1	87	153,935	437	90	220 734 or 105 784
91	Siren Assassin	1	89	194,228	1,127	166	269 866

DQ20 is the only Dragonquest with 2 different bosses. Starting at DQ31 all of the bosses are single elite class mobs that you have to kill.

Dragon Quest Items

For each level of Dragon Quest there are six items that may be needed to complete the DQ item quests of that level. Those items are (in alphabetical order):

DQ Level	Value	# Used	Item #1	Item #2	Item #3	Item #4	Item #5	Item #6
20	640	5	[Antenna]	[Disguise Skin]	[Element Dust]	[Mystical Meat]	[Rhino Horn]	[Soft Fur]
31	1,080	10	Complete Sack	Dew of Herbs	Dull Claw	Element Fragment	Honey Juice	Mystical Claw
41	1,360	10	Big Buck	Claw	Dew Orb	Element Stone	Mystical Blood	Rubybead Herb
51	1,720	15	Beast Bone	Element Crystal	Ghost Charm	Mystical Eye	Pendant of Glacia	Strong Acid
61	2,000	15	Deadly Venom	Element Essence	Flexible Sinew	Mystical Mask	Violet Glass	Yin-Yang Charm
71	2,320	20	Element Diamond	Flat Peach	Mystical Scale	Seele Token	Sharp Tooth	Strong Venom
81	2,680	20	Element Core	Jade Juyi	Lethal Venom	Mystical Totem	Oblivion Soup	Tusk
91	3,160	25	Compound Venom	Element Light	Fine Orb	Ginseng Fruit	Mystical Orb	Underspring Water

The "# Used" is the number of one of the items needed to complete one of the "DQ item quest" steps. Since there are four DQ item quests per Dragon Quest, you will, for example, use up 80 DQ items to complete one full DQ71.

Dragon Quest items are fairly valuable and easy to collect, so most people just sell them to NPCs for coins. If you plan on doing Dragon Quests you will instead want to save some of these items for when they are needed.

Dragon Order Value

So, how much are each of the Dragon Orders worth? Well, it turns out some Dragon Quests are more cost effective than others. Here's the breakdown of the "break even" value of the dragon orders, based on the number of Dragon Quest items used and the odds of each kind of Dragon Order:

DQ Level	DQ Items Spent	Copper DO	Silver DO	Gold DO
20	12,800	12,800	N/A	N/A
31	43,200	43,200	N/A	N/A
41	54,400	13,600	217,600	N/A
51	103,200	44,229	240,800	N/A
61	120,000	80,000	180,000	N/A
71	185,600	N/A	20,622	1,670,400
81	214,400	N/A	53,600	857,600
91	316,000	N/A	135,429	737,333

This assumes that the value of a DO is inversely proportional to its rarity for each level. Thus at DQ41 a Silver DO is only a 20% chance, so I assume it's worth 80% of the total cost for that level. Again, these are "break even" numbers, so if you sold the Dragon Orders at these prices for those levels you would be making just as much as you are giving away in Dragon Quest items. This does not include travel expenses or fees to get past step 4, and assumes you got all of the DQ items for free as drops. You should add a percentage to these numbers if you plan on making a profit when selling them.

This means that if you want Copper Dragon Orders, for example, you're better off just doing DQ20 and DQ41.

Too confusing? If you want the "break even" averages values based on the above:

Copper Dragon Order: 38,766 coins

Silver Dragon Order: 141,342 coins

Gold Dragon Order: 1,088,444 coins

Does this mean that you can sell them for these amounts plus some percentage for profit? Well, maybe, maybe not. Market demand will actually affect the relative value of the various Dragon Orders differently than the simple equation used above. It is recommended that you check the Auction House at any Auctioneer (found in all major cities) to see what the current market prices are. Use the filter "Other" -> "Dragon Orders" to find the items.

In my experience, the average numbers above are low for Copper and Silver, and about right for Gold. This means that there's usually a better profit margin for Copper and Silver Dragon orders than for the Gold ones.

You might also check the prices on the various molds/items you can make with Dragon Orders to see if you get a better profit margin by turning the Dragon Orders into those molds or items, however due to their rarity you might not find any listed.
