The keepers and quests

Four keepers stand in the stalls round the World Tree. Each has a story told in chapters, daily quests and a shop.

Keeper Title Story chapters Quests are about
Brann Ironvein the Prospector The Cold Forge, Heart of the Station Mining, smelting, handing in ore
Marigold Thatch the Grower The Station Garden, The Long Harvest Farming, breeding, taming, villager trading, cooking
Rook Blackvane the Warden of the Edge Holding the Line, Beyond the Rift Fighting: mobs, raids, the Nether, the End, the Colossus
Vela Starwright the Astronomer Readings from Below, Where the Station Drifts Exploring: travel, biomes, structures, elytra flight

At the Rift Spire camp, Ilsa Cindermark, the Spire Quartermaster, has her own one-chapter story and Spire dailies that pay Cinders.

Every step and daily is listed on Story quests and dailies.

  • Talk to a keeper to read their story and accept the next step, or a daily.
  • Story steps come one at a time, in order. Finish a chapter to start the next one.
  • Dailies reset at midnight Eastern. Each keeper offers one a day.
  • Progress counts in Survival, Mining and their Nethers and Ends.
  • Hand-in steps take the items from your inventory when you talk to the keeper. Smelting steps need freshly smelted items from your own furnace.

/quests (or /ql) shows every keeper’s story, today’s dailies and your progress bars in one place.

  • Accept all dailies with one button.
  • Track a quest: its progress shows at the top of your screen while you play.
  • Story so far lets you reread everything the keepers told you.
