Quests are the cleanest way to discover systems and enter later regions. Complete nearby secondary quests as they appear instead of saving every side story for the end; many reward recipes, stations, items, or reasons to level a new skill.

  1. Finish the tutorial chain: First Steps, Getting Started, Ratcatcher, and Rune Mysteries.
  2. Work through Brynmoor and Ghornfell while following the main Dragon Slayer arc.
  3. Complete useful regional side quests such as Restless Ghosts, Goblin Diplomacy, Granite Mauled, Heartstrings, and Dog Days as they become practical.
  4. After Dragon Slayer, speak with the Wise Old Man to begin the Fellhollow route and Withering Heights.
  5. Find Vannaka and complete The Wild Hunt to unlock mount progression.
  6. Advance into Dowdun Reach and the Black Knight story, including Black Knight's Fortress.
  7. Enter Umbral Sands only after defeating the Black Knight Titan and follow the Moon Garou/Fuzan questline toward the Fight Cave.

The official wiki quest index is the better reference when you want exact objective locations or full spoilers.
