Help with mission screen explanation
Great game so far, but it could do with some base-level tutorial IMO. Can anyone explain the mission-select screen? So far (for about 5 hours) I have not really been selecting any particular mission - it seems that when I complete whatever they give me, I get something new. For example, I just finished Necromancer's Apprentice and I think I opened up a new area.

Problem is that the original area does not have any fill in the completion meter. There are like 4 or 5 buttons to click there (and I think they tell me what level is recommended to complete), and I am not sure what order I should do them in. Left to right? Didn't I already complete those anyway?

I am just lost in the mission select screen. Could anyone help out with an explanation?

Thank you in advance,

There are 3 zones in the game currently.(Ruins,Weald, Warrens)
Each has a random number of quests below it.(the clickable buttons, with the blood splash)
Each zone has a progress bar, with a number at the right end in a skull's mouth. Thats basicly indicating ur progress in that zone. U need to do some progress to be able to fight the bosses.

After selecting a quest, u can see it's description on the left panel:
Each quest has a lenght(short,medium,long), and a difficulty(apprentice lvl 1,veteran lvl 3, championlvl 5) which is also indicated with colors(green, yellow red) and ofc u can see the goals/objective of the quest and the rewards.

Thank you very much for this. Also - how do I know I have completed a quest/button?
Your game goals are listed under the Caretaker's goals, the activity log you see after a quest.

As for actual quests, new ones are randomly generated each week. What you picked last week doesn't matter. The only quests that are limited is the boss quests.

After starting a mission, u can see ur objective at the top left corner. When u complete it the icon changes, and u can click on it, to end a mission.

As Twitchblade said, the quests are randomly generated each week, except the boss quests.
