Quests

## Mechanics

Quest Cards are divided into three Moon Decks, each of which contains the challenges that Mages must overcome in order to earn the rewards from the Black Rose and prove themselves worthy successors of the Grand Magister. Quests become increasingly difficult to complete as the Moon progresses, while rewards improve.

### Draw a Quest Card

When an Effect requires a Mage to draw a Quest Card, it must be placed next to the Mage Sheet, in the Active Quest Slot. When an Effect requires the Black Rose to draw a Quest Card, that card must be placed face-down in the Quest Card Discard Pile; then, the Black Rose gains Power Points:

* 1st Moon Phase: 1 Power Point,
* 2nd Moon Phase: 2 Power Points,
* 3rd Moon Phase: 3 Power Points.

### Discard a Quest Card

When an Effect requires a Quest Card to be discarded, that card must be placed in the Quest Card Discard Pile on the Event Board; **the Black Rose does not gain any Power Points**. A Mage can have any number of Active Quests at the same time; nevertheless, during the Black Rose Phase, they must discard them down to their Quest Limit value (by default it is 2 Active Quests). The same limit applies to their Completed Quests (in BRW:Rebirth). The Mage does not score any Power Points for a discarded Completed Quest.

### In Black Rose Wars

A Mage may never hold more than 2 uncompleted Quests. If a Mage ever has more than 2 uncompleted Quest Cards, they must immediately discard down to 2. Each time a Quest is discarded, the Black Rose gains Power Points equal to the Moon Phase of the discarded Quest:

* 1st Moon Phase: 1 Power Point,
* 2nd Moon Phase: 2 Power Points,
* 3rd Moon Phase: 3 Power Points.

There are 2 types of Quests in the game: Quests that require the Activation of a particular Room (indicated by the illustration of the door handle) and Quests that require different types of conditions to be fulfilled (e.g., playing particular Spell Cards, using Spells of specific Elements, undergoing some indicated effects, etc.).

Upon the completion of a Quest, the Mage gets the following rewards:

* Reward Effect: for instance, it can replace or add to the Room Activation Effect.
* Reward in Power Points

Completed Quests must be kept visible and in the designated area of the Mage Sheet. At the end of the game they will be essential to gaining additional Power Points!

**Note:** The symbol ⁂ in the lower left, if present, shows that the Quest can be played only if there are 4, 5 or 6 players. These Quests must be removed from the game when playing a 2 or 3 player game.

### In Black Rose Wars: Rebirth

Each Quest Card specifies a Task specified after its name. Tasks are specific and peculiar requirements a Mage must fulfil to complete the Quest.

Quests owned by a Mage are called **Active Quests** and are placed in the **Active Quests Slot** of their **Mage** **Sheet**. Whenever a Mage fulfi lls the requirement of a **Task** on one of their **Active** **Quest** cards, they reveal that card (unless already revealed). If the **Quest** **Card** has cube slots, the Mage places one of their cubes on the leftmost empty slot on the **Quest** **Card**. A **Quest** is **Completed** either when its **Task** is fulfilled, or when all its cube slots are filled; when this happens, the Mage places the card face-up in the **Completed**/**Solved** **Quest** **Slot**. The **Quest** **Card** is now considered **Completed**, but not **Solved**. Some Effects can complete a **Quests** even if is not Active.

During a **Mage's** **Activation** **Phase**, either before or after resolving their first or second **Action**, the Mage can activate, one at a time, the Effects of their **Completed** **Quests**. Once the Effect of a **Quest** is resolved, that **Quest** become **Solved**. Some Effects can solve a Quests even if is not **Active** or **Completed**. When a **Quest** become **Solved**, the owner gains the Power Point Reward indicated on the card, and turns the card face-down (but keeps it in the **Completed**/**Solved** **Quest** **Slot**).

At the end of the game, **Solved Quest Cards** will be essential for gaining additional Power Points!
