Quests, ranks and the Musou Board
How to take, play and report a quest, which quests suit beginners, how you climb the 21 military ranks, Honor and Fame, and the daily Musou Board.
- Take a quest from a quest giver, play it at the Clerk with Execute Quest, then report back to the giver for your reward.
- Honor from battles and quests raises your military rank; promotion trials arrive by themselves.
- Stamp the Musou Board with the general on duty every day and claim its rewards.

Quests are missions against computer-controlled enemies: no other players, no pressure. They pay Honor and gold, teach you the battlefields, and are how you climb the ranks.
Taking a quest
Many characters in town give quests: the Tavern Master, the Blacksmith, the Merchant, the Antique Dealer, the Tailor, the Training Officer and others, plus the generals of your faction in their offices. Each has one Quest option.
- Talk to a quest giver and choose Quest.
- The list shows white rows (Available) and yellow rows (your own: Contracted while you are on it, Report once it is done).
- Pick an Available quest, read its outline, rewards, time limit and failure conditions, and accept it.
The quests you see depend on your military rank: a new Guard sees quests up to rank C. Each quest has a rank from E (easiest) to S, and a waiting time before you can take it again:
| Quest rank | Can be taken again after |
|---|---|
| E | 1 hour |
| D | 2 hours |
| C | 5 hours |
| B | 8 hours |
| A | 10 hours |
| S | 24 hours |
Promotion trials and tutorial quests have no waiting time, and each promotion trial is played only once.
Playing it
- Go to the Clerk in a plaza (or use the quest desk in your house).
- Choose Execute Quest and pick the quest you accepted.
- Battle Preparations opens: choose your weapon and battle item and press Ready.
- Complete the objective shown at the top left before the time runs out.
- Party quests need exactly the number of players they name: form a party first, then the leader chooses Execute Quest.
- Bases in a quest are always the same, so a quest is a good place to learn each base type.
- When the quest ends, you get a grade from E to S for how well you did. It is separate from the quest's own rank.
Reporting back
- Go back to the character who gave you the quest.
- Choose Quest, then the yellow Report row.
- Collect your reward: Honor, gold (more for a better grade), and often gems, items or a piece of gear you do not own yet.
You are not paid until you report. A failed quest is reported the same way; it pays nothing, and you can take it again after its waiting time.
Quests do not give weapons at the moment.
Good first quests
These E-rank quests are short, solo and pay well for a beginner:
| Quest | Given by |
|---|---|
| Rescue the Daughter | The Tavern Master |
| Phantom Wine | The Tavern Master |
| Son's Rehabilitation | The Merchant |
| Gathering Iron | The Blacksmith |
| Mathematics Teacher's Question | The Antique Dealer |
Quest walkthroughs on this wiki were written for the original game. The goals are the same; rewards on DWO Reborn may differ.
Military rank
Your rank shows your standing in the army. It rises with Honor and never goes down. The tutorial makes you a Guard; after that each rank needs this much Honor in total:
| Rank | Honor needed |
|---|---|
| Recruit | 0 |
| Corporal | 20 |
| Sergeant | 50 |
| Lt. Major | 100 |
| Guard | 200 |
| Lt. Colonel | 300 |
| Colonel | 500 |
| Field General | 1,000 |
| Support General | 1,500 |
| Rear General | 2,500 |
| Counselor General | 3,500 |
| Front General | 5,000 |
| 4th Elite General | 7,500 |
| Perimeter General | 10,000 |
| Strategist General | 15,000 |
| Chariot General | 25,000 |
| Cavalry General | 35,000 |
| Grand General | 50,000 |
| Governor | 65,000 |
| Governor General | 80,000 |
| Grand Marshal | 100,000 |
- Some ranks need a promotion trial. When you have enough Honor, the trial quest is handed to you automatically; play it from the quest desk like any quest. The first one, for Lt. Colonel, arrives at 300 Honor.
- Ranks without a trial are given to you as soon as you have the Honor.
- A higher rank lets you see harder quests and is shown on your Character Information, with the Honor the next rank needs.
Honor, Fame and titles
| What it is | |
|---|---|
| Honor | Earned in battles (not Mock Battle rooms) and from quest reports. Drives your rank and your salary. |
| Fame | A rating from F to S+ that moves only in battles where everyone is a real player. It rises when you win and falls when you lose, and leaving a match costs you the full loss. |
| Titles | Earned for achievements such as crafting. Wear one through the Medal Box in your house. |
The Musou Board
When you serve a general you receive the Musou Board, a stamp card: open it from the main menu under Information, Personal, Musou Board.
- Each day, visit the general on duty in his office in the Courtyard and click him to get a stamp. If you click the wrong general, he tells you who is on duty.
- Collect rewards with Musou Board Appeal at any general of your faction. Stamps alone do not pay: you have to claim.
- A full board (30 stamps) starts a new one. After two full boards, Zuo Ci brings you a Rebirth Orb.
| Stamps (first board) | Reward |
|---|---|
| 5 | Peacock Amulet |
| 10 | Hua Tuo's Journal |
| 15 | Feather Amulet |
| 20 | Thermal Scroll |
| 25 | Herbal Elixir |
| 30 | Seven Star Sash |
Rebirth
Rebirth starts your career again, for example to change faction. It is done from your bed: free while you have 200 Honor or less, otherwise with a Rebirth Orb. You keep your weapons, gear, house, titles, Fame and gold, but your rank returns to Guard, you leave your guild and your quests are dropped. You cannot rebirth while you are in a party, lead a guild or have items listed at the Broker.
