When the inventory is opened, an icon will appear on the left side of the player's health bar. Clicking on this, or pressing the Quest Book Toggle key, will open up the Quest Book. There are 3 tabs for quests, Available, Active, and Completed. Quests are rated between 1 and 4 stars, roughly based on difficulty.
The Quest Book can be unlocked by talking to the Adventurer and clicking on the Quest Book dialog option. Individual quests can be unlocked by doing various tasks such as killing bosses, and/or by completing other quests. Some quests are immediately unlocked after their conditions have been met, and are indicated by a message in chat, while other quests require the player to first talk to an NPC with an orange "!" hovering above their head, and then click on the Quest dialog option to receive the quest.
Once the player has received the quest, they need to select the quest in the Available tab and click on the Activate button in the bottom right of the book. Only 5 quests can be active at the same time, and progress for a quest can only be achieved if the quest is active. The player can deactivate the quest at any time, but they will lose any progress gained for that quest. Once a quest has been activated, an overlay will appear on the right side of the screen detailing the player's progress towards completing the quest(s). This can be toggled using the Quest HUD Toggle key.
Some quests have branching paths. Different branches may require the player to do different tasks, and may grant the player additional rewards than what is listed in-game. To choose a branch, complete the first step of one of the branches. The player's decision on which branch to follow does not have any impact on other quests, or what NPCs sell.
After completing a quest, the player can claim the rewards by going to the Completed tab in the Quest Book, and clicking on the "Claim rewards!" button. After the completion of certain quests, various NPCs will sell new items.

Notes
- Goals using the words "Craft", "Capture", "Harvest", or "Retrieve" simply require the player to have the item in their inventory.
- Sometimes an NPC will give the player an item upon interacting with them. These items are included in the "Rewards" column.
- After completing "The First Adventure", the following messages will also appear in the chat:
- "Your residents want to talk to you. Chat with them to get more quests!"
- "Click on quests in the chat to open them in the book!"
- After completing any quest, this message will appear in the chat:
- "You have completed a quest! [Quest Name]"
- Upon clicking the "Quest" NPC dialog option, this message will appear in the chat:
- "You have unlocked a new quest! [Quest Name]"
- The name of the quest can be clicked on to open up that Quest in the Quest Book.
- The list of bosses that unlock "Spectral Scourge" and "Unidentified Floaters" are: Eye of Cthulhu, Eater of Worlds, Skeletron, Scarabeus, Ancient Avian, Moon Jelly Wizard, and Starplate Voyager.
Trivia
- Quests are ordered first by category, then by difficulty. Quests with the same category and difficulty are ordered by their internal names, which do not always match up to their display names.
