Missions

 are offered to make the game more interesting by providing an objective with a reward. You can open your mission log by pressing the "B" key. There are two different categories of missions.

When you first start the game, you will be given a Tutorial mission. As soon as you complete the mission, you will be given a reward and the next mission. There are a total of 31 tutorial missions that are given in a fixed sequence. The rewards can be crafting material, equipment or a skill improvement. These missions are designed to guide you through harvesting, basic crafting and creating a home location.

When you have completed the tutorial missions, you will then be eligible for Reward chest missions. These are available at 3 difficulty levels, Easy, Average and Difficult. Every 23 hours you will be offered a new random mission that will be scaled to your skill levels. You can have up to 3 active missions at a time. If the mission that you are given is too hard, you can cancel it to receive a replacement mission.
