Side Quests
- See also: Quests, Main Scenario Quests and Feature Quests
Side Quests are generally optional extra content that can be done for lore, item rewards, Gil, and experience. Anything still using the yellow quest icon instead of the Feature Quests icon typically does not unlock a major feature or contain critical story. They are primarily for worldbuilding and flavor, but can be a key source of HQ crafted gear while leveling, especially in Heavensward and later.
