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.
