Story arc quests (Storyline quests/Narrative quests) contain objectives for each chapter of a story arc.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

  • Players can progress each chapter by completing story arc quests within the timeframe that each chapter is active.[3]
    • Phase timers are shown (in the quest UI) to indicate how much real-world time is available to complete the quests in each phase.[2]
    • If the player completes all quests in a particular chapter, they will need to wait until the next chapter to obtain further quests.[7]
  • Story arcs can branch into different stories with multiple possible endings depending on the quest objectives that players complete during each chapter.[1][2][4]
You can't really farm the quests in any meaningful way, because once you've done the quests in a chapter, that's it until the next chapter. Whether 1000 people participate or 10, the chapters will stay active for the same length of time, and as long as you participate in the clearly-marked time frame in your quest journal, you're good. The only thing that a concentrated effort can help with is influencing the narrative paths through the arcs.[7]Skott B
  • These quests stages can be failed. The ability to retry a failed quest depends on Node progression.[4]
There will be many different quests that actually have stages of the storyline; and these stages can actually be failed. You can actually fail a storyline; which sucks when you think about it, but at the same time that risk makes your investment that much more important.[4]Steven Sharif
