Once a quest has been completed, the player is rewarded with quest points, and often items, experience, new areas to explore, items to collect, NPCs to talk to, monsters to fight, and more. Quests can take a variety of skills to complete, with some having fairly high requirements for the players stats in order to complete or even start the quest.
