Does a new world reset quests?

[Adam__86]

Thinking of starting a new world but does it reset everything like quests and materials?

[Silent Warrior]

There are two different types of quests: Embervale quests and Flameborn quests.
When you start a new world and want play there with an old char, then only the Embervale quests will reset. But the flameborn quests belong to your char, no matter in which world you play. Same for the map, already cleared Shroud Roots and some other things.

When you want do a complete fresh run, then you need to create a new char as well. And yes, in that case everything resets, and you can explore the world again from beginning.
