Elysian Tail Wiki
Advertisement

In addition to the main story quest, many sidequests are available in Dust: An Elysian Tail, some of which contribute to the main story and others which are simply entertaining at best. Unlike most other games the quests in Dust: An Elysian Tail give Experience Points for being initiated/unlocked rather than for completion and instead give Gold upon completion. This makes it worthwhile for the player to unlock as many quests as possible regardless of intent for completion so that way they can gain bonus experience for proceeding on the main story.
