QUESTS
The Path introduces Quests that will enhance your journey. Quests contain a selection of legacy and future achievements, either earned at events or online. These actions range from attending Defqon.1, taking a leap of faith at the bungee jump, or other ways of contributing to the tribe in a meaningful way. 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 Q-dance app. Be sure to check it frequently to stay up to date!
EXPERIENCE POINTS
Experience points (XP) serve 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 Q-dance app. The XP a Quest gives can be found underneath its throphie in the Q-dance app.
THROPHIES & BADGES
In addition to XP, each Quest also rewards a trophy, symbolizing your accomplishments. There are four types of trophies, ranging from Cardboard, Silver, and Gold to Orange. Each type trophy 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, after earning it, it will be colored. Badges will be greyed out if a Quest is not earned yet.
Ranks
There are a total of 3 different ranks within The Path:
- Rank 1: Challenger
- Rank 2: Warrior
- Rank 3: Choose your specialisation
You are placed in a rank based on your XP. By completing Quests, you will climb through the 3 different ranks within The Path. You can find your current rank and the amount needed to earn your next rank in the profile section of The Path, next to your rank icon.
