The Checklist:

Here’s the checklist, but let me give a quick rundown of what you’ll see in the table:

  • The first column shows quest name, difficulty (1, 2, or 3), and time of day as applicable.
  • Second column is quest details, a short blip with general location of quest start and other useful information.
  • Third column is turn ins, whether it’s an item or just talking to someone, this is what you need to complete the quest.
  • The last column is rewards, everything obtained from completing the quest. There is an H, S, M, G, and I next to the specific Health, Strength, Magic, Gil, and Items rewarded.
