Main missions are mostly directed towards the main storyline, or a main character or plot development. These missions are usually completed in a sequence, though some missions do not appear for weeks or until after the next fireside meeting. Other missions may not be directly related to the main storyline and are usually activated when a certain criterion is met or as the calendar progresses.
Completing main missions advances the overall story of the game, including the technological level at the player's disposal. Some missions allow access to new locations, while others improve the atmosphere, appearance, and sometimes functionality of an existing location.
The player should be careful to any main mission whether it has a time limit or not. Both types exist.
Main missions are displayed on the map with the following icons:
-
NPC with new main mission
-
Main mission follow-up (ex.: designated NPC to talk to to continue mission, etc.)
-
Location to place item for main mission
