Questline “Daily Life”
The Daily Life quests take you through two competitions: a fistfight and an archery contest. In the arena, you must unequip all weapons and fight using only your fists.
Make sure you don’t accidentally trigger a special action, or you’ll be disqualified. The archery challenge is straightforward: targets appear horizontally in front of you at changing positions, and you need to hit them before your opponent does.

In the quests “The Words of Alustin,” “Scholastone,” and “On the Right Path,” you simply need to follow the quest markers and complete small, self-explanatory tasks. Only in “Gate to the Otherworld” and “Spire of the Stars” will you face more challenging puzzles.
