What Are Exploration Guides?

Quests That Introduce Game Mechanics

WWM - Exploration Guide Pin on Map
Exploration Guides are short side quests that introduce game mechanics for you to experience as you explore the world. These quests often have you meet an NPC for whom you must perform a task before you unlock that specific game mechanic.

Game mechanics are varied and include recurring activities (such as Gift of Gab), Oddity collection, commitment to a Profession, and more. Investing in these mechanics earns you rewards such as permanent stat upgrades and even Mystic Skills and Martial Arts.
