Quest (XC2)/List of quests by availability

A list of quests in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 sorted by the story point they become available. Story progress prerequisites are chosen from the moment the quest giver, or object giving the quest, appears and, if there are multiple prerequisites, the prerequisite that needs the most story progress will be prioritized. It is also assumed that any non-story related prerequisites can be or are fulfilled. As an example, while Theory and Praxis can technically be started during Chapter 7, due to the fact Pyra must be in the party to trigger the quest, the quest is only available during Chapter 8 during normal gameplay.
