ACCOMPLISHING MISSIONS IN ANTHEM
The warden is close to taming the Anthem's power. If he succeeds, all the inhabitants of Fort Tarsis are doomed. To stop him, you have to complete various missions and quests in the vastness of the world.
WARNING TO PLAYERS: Anthem is still in development, so mission details are subject to change. Now that's all we can share with you.
Basics of missions
At each stage of the journey, you are given the opportunity to complete missions. At the same time you will get acquainted with agents major factions of Anthem, which will supply you with additional missions. These agents need your help, but don't expect a warm welcome. You will need to prove that you are a worthy Freelancer. Your oracle maintains contact between you and the agents during missions, and sometimes you will even meet with them on the ground.
As part of the missions, a variety of tasks await you, from silencing unstable relics of the Creators and saving people to destroying swarms of Scars and huge monsters.
Team play
You can always take companions with you to help you complete missions. When you play on a public server, other players (with your consent) can join you and help you complete any of the missions you are doing. The selection of players is very simple and allows you to play exactly with those with whom you want.
On the other hand, it will also be easy for you to join missions. Whether you want to play with a friend or join any other player's mission, you can quickly come to the rescue.
Mission completion
Upon completion of the mission, you will return to Fort Tarsis and receive well-deserved rewards. You will be able to identify the picked up items and get OP for the deeds committed during the mission. If you want, you can talk to agents or other characters in Fort Tarsis, otherwise you can immediately go on another mission or find a new contract.
Missions offer you a range of quests and challenges, but there are other things to do in the world of Anthem. If you want to leave the storytelling aside, you can use the mode free play or team up with friends and go to "Fortresses».
