Hi everyone! Sean “Commander Ander” McCann here to give you another peak into Neverwinter: Strongholds. Today, we’re talking about quests in Strongholds.

The Stronghold has a main storyline dealing with both your guild and the Steward’s team discovering the various threats and mysteries within this new land. More quests for the main storyline will be unlocked at every other guild level, with the final quest being revealed at guild rank 19 (out of 20).

Meanwhile, each member of the Steward’s team will offer different types of daily quests. The Cleric will give out team-based quests, sending players into tier 1 and tier 2 dungeons. The Master of Coin will ask players to support the various factions in the campaign zones, while the Ranger deals with Heroic Encounters within the Stronghold. The Builder will have quests that deal with issues within the Stronghold, ranging from bulettes trying to eat Halfling workers to the stronghold team pooling together a prize for a time trial race through the Stronghold.

All of the quests mentioned so far are for level 70 characters, however, each member of the Steward’s team will also offer quests designed for low level players. One example is the Cleric, who will offer a quest to complete level-appropriate dungeons. Doing so will reward players with a large amount of experience.

There is a final type of quest, which is given by specific structures in the Stronghold. The Barracks, Explorer’s Guild, Training Yard, Wizard’s Tower, Temple, and Mercenary Outpost all have unique contacts that will ask players to complete various tasks to help improve the influence of their structure. The Master Explorer of the Explorer’s Guild will send players out to recover items from skill nodes, while the Priest of the Temple will ask players to go out to earn the favor of the gods throughout the world. The quests that they give out will change as the structure ranks up, requiring players to complete more impressive tasks.

We’re all very excited to see how players will interact with these quests and see the story of the Stronghold unravel as they rank up the guild. Module 7: Strongholds is currently on the Preview server, and feedback is being gathered in the forums. Can’t wait to see you all in game!
