Story Quest are chains of quests given within a story in the game of TERA. They offer a greater depth to the world of TERA by taking the player to important NPCs and enemies, integrating the player within the narrative of the game. The quest markers for these quests are red instead of the usual yellow for zone quests.
Note: story quests were rearranged in PC versions of TERA in patch 83 in summer 2019. Refer to Story Quests before patch 83 to see changes done before that. On console versions new quest line was added in January 2020.[1]
Levels in (parenthesis) before quest name are levels quest should have, as all pages are not updated.
