The narrative questlines are the heart of New Legacy. Unlike traditional shards where you’re dropped into Britannia with no specific directions, New Legacy introduces a streamlined story experience. This narrative questline path allows you to live out a true RPG narrative, advancing your character’s skills, living your true class fantasy, discovering and defeating nefarious foes and bosses as well as unlocking dedicated housing regions.
Before choosing your calling, it is vital to understand how the narrative system functions:
- Interacting with the World: Characters or objects vital to your current quest milestone will display a magical sparkle when you get close. To progress, simply use the Talk option via the NPC’s context menu, or double-click quest items to register them.
- The Adventurer’s Guidebook: Taking your first task grants you this essential tome. It maps out key regional hubs, dungeon locations, and narrative points of interest. More can be found on the Key Locations page.
- Town Objectives and Job Boards: Progression relies heavily on Town Objectives found on local job boards. Combatants will receive hunt, defend, or destroy missions, while crafters are tasked with filling Bulk Orders (BODs) or salvaging gear buried in regional dig sites.
- Gaining Skills: Completing these tasks rewards you with skill points. Approach the nearby Skill Trainer NPC to allocate those points directly into your archetype’s core toolkit. Once a skill milestone is maxed out, you must return to your primary NPC Guildmaster to trigger the next major chapter of your story.
Choosing Your Calling
Town Objectives and Job Boards
For warriors and mages these consist of ‘kill’, ‘defend’ or ‘destroy’ tasks. The creatures you are asked to kill or defend against are not always suitable for your skill level, it may be necessary to retreat and fail an objective when this happens. Be sure to clear the failed quest from your Quest Objectives list.
For crafters the job boards ask you to fill bods, obtained from the npc guildmaster, or search for salvageable equipment. To search for equipment you will need a pick or shovel, dig in the mounds you will find in the named area until a weapon or item of armor appears, double click it to register the find. The item does not need to match exactly the item displayed on the job board.
There is a 5 minute delay before you can re-take a particular job.
Gaining Skills
On completion of your task approach any job board and speak to the trainer standing beside it to allow you to allocate the skill points you have gained. Although this character spoke to the Smith’s federation trainer, because she is a mage, the points she can allocate are to her relevant skills. Available points are 4.0. She has chosen to distribute them as shown. Note: If you find you have skill points but can’t apply them, you have completed your tasks for that section and need to return to your NPC guild master to follow the next part of your narrative.
Mages may choose to complete inscription bods, while these are not required for the job board and do not contribute towards skill gain they are one route through which it is possible to obtain level 8 spell scrolls and a reagent belt which can hold 10 of each reagent that are not lost at death. You must wear this belt so that the reagents are there when you need them. If the belt is kept in the back pack, or if you run out of reagents in your main pack, cast spells will use the contents! Level 8 spells can not be crafted but drop as loot from champions and some higher, named, mobs.
Complete jobs from the job board and till you reach the next level of skill, then return your skill trainer NPC to begin the next part of your narrative.
