Does only the host get the quests?

[† F4keDe4th †]

I tried playing multiplayer and i was the only one that could see the active quests while my friend could only see the completed ones and not the active ones

I played yesterday with a friend on a dedicated server. We both got the quests.
has your friend maybe not used the trigger points (e.g. talking to the npc, reading the note)?

quest progress is WORLD BOUND and not character bound. this means if a quest is completed its completed for YOUR WORLD FOR GOOD. this means other players will see all quests completed when they join already.

but quests arent the primary objective of playing this game to begin with. they are mainly for unlocking the npcs for everyone.

dont do quests by yourself if you wanna progress with friends on the same world. wait for everyone to be online and together before doing em. splitting up wont work currently.

you can still farm and kill bosses by yourself as these will respawn after 2 hours of not visiting the area they are found in.
