A bit confused of quest tracking..

[Slurpeez]

Yes, I'm extremely new, but I was looking for a great ARPG...now that I've been playing (level 8)..I feel like I have no direction to go at all. I have a LOT of quests on my screen, but not sure where to go! Am I doing something worng here?

What i do is look in the journal where it and than look on the map and wander the area of where it says and look for a star.

Just keep heading north east from Devils crossing. The quest markers show up when you are closer. There is no go here, go there. Read the description and and follow the clues. Some of the quests are farther down the road and some are closer.

Look at the main map of the world and you will get an idea of where you are at by area such as Burrwitch, or Lower crossing. Those names are on map and your mini map will will clue you in.

As you get closer, a star will appear on the edge of your minimap and then you can follow that to the next part of quest.

If you need your hand held I have a complete quest guide in the guides section with screeshots and names of quest givers with areas of where to go to get quests and where to conclude them.

I would recommend just exploring and in due time you should find most. Some are abit harder to find and are not in the main hubs so explore it ALL.

Read your quest texts. They tell you where to go. Look at your map. Combined with knowledge from reading words you now have a general idea where you should be looking.

Properly exploring the map along the route will also uncover most everything you need just by simply... Uncovering the map.

Awesome thanks guys. Seems like a pretty fun game so far

It is a good game indeed

Questing in this game is absolutely horrible. Probably the worst in any game that I have ever played in 20 plus years of gaming. No way to select an active quest, screen is cluttered with quests that are no longer relevant, no direction markers on the mini map until you have wandered around for hours an finally come upon a star quest marker. And the maps are nearly worthless. Also extremely annoying is the inability to save the game. I really want to like this game, as the combat is fun, but the questing and lack of a save game function make it exceedingly frustrating, to the point that I just want to throw my mouse through the screen.

Saving is anytime you use a teleport or portal or exiting game.

Questing is kinda different at first but as time goes on, you get used to it, or not.
Grim Dawn was not made to hold your hands. Go play Morrowwind, Diablo or Diablo2. People got spoiled by WoW and other MMorpgs that added that to attract new players.

If your screen is cluttered with quests that irrelevant or that you don't want to do, open your quest book and click them to turn them off.

I can only think one quest that is hard to find it's in the shaded basin.

Name a few quest you had issues with??

[esmith5449]

Well for instance "Something for Nothing" at the very beginning. 3 minibosses to kill. I killed one of them, and have never found the other two. I swear I opened every inch of the map in that area and explored it over and over. And even "The Aetherial Form", which is a main quest, I havent found where to do it. I have spoken to the quest giver and gotten the "directions" where to go, but have spent hours tryng to find it, to no avail. All told I have 10 quests open. Worse, there seems to be no real idea of what the overall objective is. For instance in Witcher 3, you have many main quests, sidequests, and witcher missions, but you know right away the endgame is to find Ciri. This game, I have no idea. Maybe the game just isnt for me, but I actually do enjoy playing the game and the combat, but can only play for a limited time before I get frustrated at not finding and completing the quest I want to work on.

I made this just for folks having some troubles.

Didn't play Titan Quest then.

As said, you can untick quests so they don't show, any quests that are completed vanish anyway. Game saves almost continuously and the fan base actually voted to drop the save button very early on in development iirc.

Just explore everywhere, you'll find all the quest locations as you go along. If you get really stuck there's always the Wiki.

Been playing Grim Dawn constantly the past week. I'm really enjoying the game. In addition to checking out the quest log, you can also visit the GD Wiki and check out quests that you have problems with.
