Quests and Companions

Quests & Companions

Quests Overview

• Realm of Thrones includes both native and custom quests.
• Quest outcomes can affect settlements, diplomacy, and kingdom relations.
• Most quests are accessible through notables or lords.

Quest Mechanics

• Outcomes are not always binary (success/failure); they can affect growth or trigger broader consequences.
• Main storyline quests (like the Dragon Banner quest) do not appear in Sandbox mode.
• Some quests may have time limits or require specific companions.

Assigning Companions to Quests

• Many quests can be delegated to companions.
• Success chances depend on:
  • The companion’s skills
  • Troop quality (for combat missions)
  • Time taken (depends on quest type)

Notes

• Some quests accept multiple skills (e.g. One-Handed, Two-Handed, or Polearm).
• Assigning elite troops increases cost but does not always improve success chance.

Finding Characters

• Use the in-game Encyclopedia (`N` key) to locate:
  • Lords
  • Wanderers
  • Companions
  • Traders
• You can search by name, role, or faction.

Companions

• Here you can find some wanderers and their stats.
• Best companion depends on your needs — check stats in the Encyclopedia.
• Companions can serve as:
  • Surgeons
  • Quartermasters
  • Party Leaders
  • Governors

Special NPCs (As of RoT 5.5)

• Special Traders and NPCs have been relocated in recent patches.
• Use `Alt` in towns to highlight their location (if they’re present).

Vassalization Quest

Best Unit / Gear?

• Each is balanced to suit different playstyles — explore and find what fits you!
