Every action becomes part of your Personal Path. No two Paths are the same; what you unlock depends on how you engage, where you go and how far you are willing to follow the signs.

Without your signal, The Path stays quiet. Start The Initiation and give it something to work with.

START YOUR INITIATION

The more you engage, the more it reveals. Quests are how The Path tests you. They are not just check-ins for points, but hidden signs, strange challenges, small rituals and unexpected missions scattered across Defqon.1 and beyond.

Some quests may ask you to explore, connect, create, get weird, or contribute to the tribe in unexpected ways. Other quests may ask you to leave proof, as The Path does not run on trust alone. 

Quests can be completed and with each completion you will earn experience points (XP) that will add to your rank within the tribe.  As you complete Quests, you will rise through the ranks. You can find both your current rank and all current and new Quests in the Defqon.1 app.

This year, Quests become more varied, more personal and arguably stranger than before. Your quests are shaped by your profile, your choices and your input. New quests will reveal themselves as you engage.

New quests will reveal themselves over time as you engage. Stay alert, keep your notifications on and check the app, especially when a new day begins.

Experience points (XP) serve as a measure of your current progression in The Path. By completing Quests you accumulate XP, advancing you through the different ranks within The Path. The more XP you earn, the higher your rank will be.

You can find your total XP underneath your username in the profile section of The Path in the Defqon.1 app. The XP a Quest gives can be found underneath its throphy in the app. 

Along The Path, completed quests can unlock rewards. Some are simple, some are useful, some are hidden and some may open doors most visitors will never see.

Rewards can come in many forms: unique experiences, secret opportunities and more. But nothing is simply handed out. The more you give, the more The Path unfolds. 

In addition to XP, each Quest also rewards a trophy, symbolizing your accomplishments. There are four types of trophies, ranging from Cardboard to Silver, and Gold to Orange. Each trophy type reflects the difficulty or significance of the Quest that has been completed.

In general the trophies are a measurement for how much XP a Quest will give: E.g. Cardboard Quests offer the least XP, while Orange Quests offer the most. 

Badges can be found on the left side of Quests. You can earn a Badge by completing a Quest - once earned, it will be colored. Badges will be greyed out if a Quest is not earned yet.

New members of the tribe will automatically start in our first rank, as a Challenger.

Challengers are the ones who embrace the unknown! Ready to immerse themselves in the pulsating energy of the harder styles, eager to venture on their Path, and finding their role within the tribe. Within our united community, this is their moment to ignite an inner fire that will bind them to the Defqon.1 legacy forever.

Once your loyalty has been proven to the tribe, you will officially become a Warrior. 

As they navigate with confidence and begin to explore the sounds that resonate most with their Warrior spirit, their Path becomes clearer. With every step they take on the Holy Grounds, they are immersed in the strong force of Warriors that surround them, of which they are a part. Each day forward, they strengthen the bond that unites them with our tribe.

The Veterans of the tribe! Their Path adorned with badges of honor, from countless years of devotion.

With every step taken, the memories of past triumphs and glorious moments echo along. Warriors reaching rank 3 find themselves at a pivotal moment on their Path because this is where they get to choose their specialisation.
