EO1/Quests

"Decided to take the request, have you? I've been hoping someone would." ―Valerie

Quests are accepted from the Golden Deer Pub. Quests are unlocked as you progress deeper into the labyrinth, though some quests will require you to complete other quests before they become available.

Up to five quests can be active at any one time, and note that quest-relevant items in this game take up inventory space. In Etrian Odyssey HD, these items instead are allocated into a separate Key Items inventory.
