Quest

Quests are a gameplay feature introduced in The Dark Below. Quests are specific challenges that are unlocked by completing more quests, with a set reward at the end. Quests can only be played one time per character, and may take the form of a sort of bounty to be completed across a variety of different activities.

For example, Eris Morn offers a series of quests to Guardians that unlock new content and reward unique items. The first three quests are story missions, with a unique fusion rifle as the reward. She then offers two different quests; one involves hunting enemies in patrol to unlock the Will of Crota strike, and the other involves a unique version of Chamber of Night called the Ritual of Sacrifice.

Quests will have a major overhaul with the release of The Taken King. This affects quests from previous content, including extending them to the base game. Any quests that the player has abandoned (or else, has not picked up yet during Year 1) can be obtained in the Hall of Guardians in the Tower.
