Quests that pay you for the build you were making
Dungeonbound's quests are not a separate campaign. They are per-hero checklists that reward upgrading, fusing, cursing and spreading statuses - the exact actions the item system already asks you to do.

The official screenshot shows 0/28 complete and four visible controls: All, Combat, Items and General.
The system
What we know about quests
Quests are tracked per hero, reward permanent progress and occasionally unlock a specific item. The full list is not public, but the Paladin page reveals the shape.
- Quests are tracked per hero; the official screenshot shows a "Paladin Quests" page with 28 quests and three tabs: All, Combat and Items, plus General.
- Quest objectives include combat milestones, item upgrades, curses and fusions.
- Rewards include Skill Points (SP), Gold and permanent item unlocks.
- Steam achievements were added for quests in v0.1.46.
- The quest page shown was captured before launch; other heroes' pages and the full quest list have not been published.
Confirmed examples
The Paladin quest page
Every row below is visible in the official screenshot. Progress values are the state at capture, not requirements.
| Quest | Category | Objective | Reward | At capture |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tempering | Items | Get an item to level 7 | +3 SP | 2 / 7 |
| Grandmaster Smith | Items | Upgrade items 100 times | +1000 Gold | 7 / 100 |
| Hexbound | Items | Curse 15 items | Unlocks Storm Sabre | 1 / 15 |
| Dark Bargainer | Items | Curse 5 items | +3 SP | 1 / 5 |
| Master Melder | Items | Fuse 15 items at the forge | Unlocks Emberbreaker | 4 / 15 |
| Alchemist | Items | Fuse 5 items | +300 Gold | 4 / 5 |
| Slow Death | Combat | Deal 5000 damage with status effects | +600 Gold | 293 / 5000 |
| Plaguebringer | Combat | Inflict 500 status effects | Unlocks Venom Claw | 68 / 500 |
The screenshot shows 0/28 complete, but several progress bars are partly filled. The counter and the bar are not the same thing; do not read the bar as a completion count.
The three item unlocks
Three quests on the Paladin page name a permanent item reward:
- Hexbound - curse 15 items, unlock Storm Sabre.
- Master Melder - fuse 15 items at the forge, unlock Emberbreaker.
- Plaguebringer - inflict 500 status effects, unlock Venom Claw.
These are not random drops; the quest page shows them as explicit rewards. The effects of the items are not published in the screenshot, so we do not describe them beyond the unlock condition. v0.1.51 notes say Emberbreaker was toned down, which confirms it is a real item in the launch build.
Why these quests are well designed
Each objective teaches a system the hero needs:
- Tempering and Grandmaster Smith reward the merge/upgrade loop.
- Dark Bargainer and Hexbound force you to engage with cursed items instead of avoiding them.
- Master Melder and Alchemist reward fusion, the main answer to board space.
- Slow Death and Plaguebringer reward status builds that might otherwise feel slower than raw damage.
If you are stuck on progression, open the quest tab before you buy another damage item. The next reward may be a permanent unlock that changes the board.
What we still don't know
- The full 28-quest list and the General category.
- Whether every hero has 28 quests.
- Whether quest progress is account-wide or strictly per hero.
- The exact effects of Storm Sabre and Venom Claw.
- Whether quest rewards can be earned in every mode or only the Long Haul.
