Quests

Quests are the offers and jobs the world sends you: a faction requesting help, a wanderer who wants to join, a request to host a refugee in exchange for goods. Press F7 to open the Quests menu.

Moving around the menu

The menu has two parts: the list of quests on one side and the reward preferences on the other.

  • Left/Right move between the quest categories: Available, Active, and Historical. Available holds new offers, Active shows accepted quests in progress, and Historical is the archive of finished or expired ones.
  • Tab/Shift+Tab move between the quest list and the reward preferences panel.

Reading and accepting a quest

Arrow up and down through the quest list to hear each quest's details. For short quests this works well. For longer ones, press Enter to expand the quest and arrow through its details one piece at a time instead of hearing everything in one announcement.

To accept a quest, press Alt+A.

Choosing among reward options

Many quests offer several reward packages to choose from.

After pressing Alt+A, arrow through the reward options that appear.

Alternatively, expand the quest with Enter, arrow down to the bottom, and activate one of the per-option buttons: "Accept reward 1," "Accept reward 2," and so on.

When the cursor is on a reward button, press Alt+I to choose which item in that reward to open the info card for. The info card shows full stats so you can compare what each reward option contains.

Reward preferences

Tab over to the reward preferences panel to set which kinds of rewards you will accept. This steers what the game offers. For example, refusing goodwill prompts the game to substitute a different reward type instead.

(Royalty) With the Royalty DLC, refusing honor here nudges the Empire toward offering higher-quality items.

For what specific quests do, how rewards are generated, and the strategy of which to accept, see the Quests page on the RimWorld wiki.

The info card works the same way here as on other screens: Alt+I opens it on a reward item. The context-menu key ] does nothing on the quests screen, so do not expect it to act here.
