How it works, step by step

  1. 1

    Quest schema module: objectives with type/target/count and reward tables.

  2. 2

    ProgressService exposes Report(event, target, amount) — kills, collections, talks all funnel here.

  3. 3

    Active quests live on the player profile; objective deltas increment atomically.

  4. 4

    Completion validates all objectives, grants rewards once (completion flag), notifies.

  5. 5

    Quest log UI renders from profile state; tracker pins nearest-incomplete objective.

Concepts you'll use

  • Event-report aggregation
  • Atomic objective deltas
  • Once-only reward guards

Mistakes that cost you players

  • Systems updating quest counters directly bypass validation and double-count on races.
  • Rewards granted before the completion flag flips can be farmed via relog timing.
