Blight Light has two kinds of quests, and you can run both at the same time.
| Quest console | The journal | |
|---|---|---|
| Open it | /q (or /quest, /quests) |
/journal |
| What it is | 59 everyday tasks in 10 categories | The Blight story, your role's job and the monthly line |
| Pays | Scrap, skill XP, Chimera Coins (CC) and items | Blight Fragments and Scrap |
| How you get them | Pick any quest you have unlocked | Offered to you automatically, starting about 25 seconds after you join |
Every quest you claim, in either one, also earns pass XP for the Blight Pass.
The quest console#
Type /q anywhere to open the console. Pick a quest, do the task, then come back and claim the reward.
- One-time quests can be done once per wipe.
- Dailies come back 24 hours after you claim them.
- Repeatables come back after their own cooldown.
- Chains: many quests unlock only after you finish the one before them, and the harder ones also need a skill level (see Progression).
- XP rewards go to your skill level, so quests level your character as well as pay you.
Tip: On day one, take the three Getting Started quests and every daily. They are fast and they pay you for things you do anyway.

The journal#
Type /journal to open it. It sits beside the Blight Pass in the same window. Quests are offered to you on their own: the first one about 25 seconds after you join, and the next ones as you finish them. You can have up to 5 story and job quests active at once.
The story#
The story starts with Something In The Light: kill 5 blighted things. Each chapter leads to the next. See The Blight.
Your role's job#
Each role has its own job. Two examples:
| Role | Job | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Citizen | Anyone At All | Take part in 3 hourly Blights |
| Soldier | Hold The Line | Kill 40 blighted things, and take part in 2 hourly Blights |
A Blight counts when you are paid at the end of it. See Blight Events.
The monthly line#
The monthly line is a set of quests for your role, plus quests every role shares. They fill your journal three at a time.
- Six tiers. Tier 1 is open from the start. A tier opens when you have done 4 quests of the tier before it.
- A new set every wipe. The line rotates between three sets, A, B and C. After C comes A again, with every count 25% higher.
- What they ask: gathering, fishing, building and upgrading, looting, recycling and crafting, siphoning in Blights and killing blighted things. Your role adds its own: the Responder heals strangers and crafts medicine, the Scientist researches and swipes keycards, the Citizen gathers and builds.
- Close the Month. Finish 30 quests of the month's line and the last quest, Close the Month, gives you a permanent vault slot. You can earn one new slot per wipe. See Economy.
What journal quests pay#
| Size | Blight Fragments | Scrap |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 3 to 6 | 150 to 300 |
| Medium | 8 to 14 | 500 to 900 |
| Large | 20 to 30 | 1,500 to 2,500 |
Early quests are small, the top tiers are large. Fragments buy boss fights in the arena: see Bosses & the Arena.
