Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City/Quests

Like missions, quests become available as you progress through the Labyrinth. Once you complete a quest, you must return to town and report to Missy at the Butterfly Bistro for your reward. Unlike missions, quests are not vital to the story but it is advisable to complete as many as you can. Also unlike missions, you can accept up to 5 active quests at a time. Quests may be abandoned and restarted by returning to Missy. Certain quests throughout the game may have more than one way to complete them and different rewards depending on the method of completion.

Quests can also be accepted from the Harbormaster and may be repeated as many times as desired, however, you will only be rewarded once per quest. Each sea quest involves fighting a battle or series of battles with 1~3 NPC teammates or a friend's party. Note that NPC's do not share in the experience gained from fighting.

Information for quests will show when it becomes available, the in-game description, summary (when you press on a quest), how to complete it, and the reward. The list will also show alternative ways to clearing certain quests and their respective rewards. For more help on quests, reference the maps in the guide. As of right now, the list of quests is incomplete.
