The City Quest is one of the most engaging exploration events in Legend of Elements, transforming the Capital into a massive treasure hunt full of riddles, secrets, and rewards. The event begins when your server reaches Day 3, and from that point on, players have five days to unravel a series of daily clues, locate hidden chests, and interact with mysterious NPCs scattered throughout the Capital.
This event is not just about luck—it rewards sharp observation, memory, and familiarity with the city’s landmarks. Whether you’re a lore lover or a dedicated completionist, City Quest is the perfect mix of adventure and puzzle-solving.
Legend of Elements City Quest Event Guide
City Quest runs for five days, with two unique quests unlocked each day. Each quest provides a riddle that directs you to either a hidden chest or a special NPC. The clues can be vague, so having a good grasp of the Capital’s geography—and a bit of detective spirit—goes a long way.
The event alternates between two quest types daily:
- Castle Tales: Focused on locating hidden treasure chests and solving riddles.
- Elemental Tales: Focused on finding NPCs tied to elemental themes or lore.
Your goal is to complete all daily clues, collect the rewards, and uncover the full set of Capital secrets before the event concludes.
Unlock and Duration
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Unlock Time | Day 3 of server progression (when the Capital opens) |
| Event Duration | 5 days total |
| Cost to Enter | Free |
| Daily Quests | 2 per day (1 Castle Tale + 1 Elemental Tale) |
Once unlocked, the event is accessed directly within the Capital. You can check your quest progress via the Event tab, or look for special markers around the city to pinpoint active objectives.
How to Participate
- Wait until your server reaches Day 3 and the Capital becomes accessible.
- Open the Event Menu → City Quest tab to view daily clues.
- Read the riddles carefully—they reference landmarks, NPC names, or geographic hints.
- Navigate through the Capital and interact with the highlighted location or NPC.
- Submit the correct riddle answer (when required) to claim your reward.
New clues are unlocked daily for five consecutive days, and you can complete them anytime before the event ends.
City Quest Walkthrough (Days 1–3)
Day 1
Castle Tales I
“The Matchmaker says we’re full of spirit. Solve his riddle, and he’ll reward us with a chest!”
Location: Between Treasure Hunter and Heartbind. The chest sits slightly to the left-hand side of the path.
Task: Solve a riddle about coconuts.
Riddle Answer: 1070
Elemental Tales I
“The runes of life glow on the giant tree, as the elemental forces sing in unison.”
Location: Speak to the NPC near the large glowing tree, slightly to the right of the first chest’s location.
Note: In some regional versions, the NPC name appears in non-English characters. This is a localization bug from the SEA release.
Day 2
Castle Tales II
“In a yard south of the town, that noisy Toadlord is back. Was he related to the one we beat up last time?”
Location: South of the city, near Toadlord’s marked area. The chest sits near the middle of this region.
Task: Solve a riddle about mangoes.
Riddle Answer: 1111
Elemental Tales II
“The element of water warns us of the presence of demons along the south coast.”
- Location: Head further south from Toadlord’s area. The NPC Vulture can be found standing on the cliffs.
Day 3
Castle Tales III
“The elder says you did great in City Assistance. He’s got a reward for you.”
Location: Visit the Eastern Guardian Elder in the Capital’s eastern section.
Task: Solve a riddle about hay.
Riddle Answer: 2840
Elemental Tales III
“An elemental spirit seems to have left a trace under the stone gate in the town square.”
Location: Near the main gate by the Talent Leaderboard entrance. Look for an NPC with a foreign-character name under the central archway.
Note: Another known localization issue; the NPC name may appear garbled in some versions.
Event Progress Status
Currently, Days 1–3 are fully confirmed and tested.
Days 4 and 5 will be updated as new clues become available on live servers.
If you’re following along in real time, revisit this guide daily to find updated solutions and verified coordinates for the next quests.
Tips & Strategy
1. Read Every Clue Carefully
Each riddle’s wording contains exact directional hints. Words like “south,” “under,” “beside,” or “between” are literal—use them to triangulate your search area quickly.
2. Familiarize Yourself with the Capital
Landmarks like Heartbind, Treasure Hunter, Toadlord’s Yard, and the Town Square Gate repeat across multiple days. Knowing these areas cuts your search time dramatically.
3. Screenshot Your Clues
Always capture a screenshot of each clue before leaving the quest menu. If you take a break mid-hunt, you’ll still have the exact text available for reference later.
4. Work in Pairs or Guild Groups
If your server allows cooperative exploration, team up with friends to split search duties. Multiple players scanning different map regions helps identify chest locations faster.
5. Track NPC Bugs
Some NPCs have non-English or placeholder names. Don’t get stuck searching for missing NPCs—if you see an unreadable name marker, that’s usually your quest target.
What to Expect (Days 4–5 Preview)
While not yet officially unlocked, based on event patterns, expect:
Castle Tales IV–V: New chest riddles likely tied to northern Capital districts.
Elemental Tales IV–V: More elemental NPC hunts—possibly involving fire or air spirits.
The difficulty will likely ramp up, requiring more obscure landmarks or higher platforming access.
Rewards
Each completed quest yields treasure chests, currency, or rare consumables depending on your day and riddle type. Completing all five days typically grants a bonus reward, often tied to seasonal or Capital-themed events.
The City Quest is a creative break from combat-heavy gameplay, rewarding exploration and curiosity instead of brute strength. Every day’s clues build a richer understanding of the Capital’s history and hidden corners—while earning valuable resources in the process.
For the best experience, treat it like a detective adventure: explore thoroughly, observe details, and enjoy the satisfaction of piecing together each day’s puzzle. The treasures may fade, but mastering the Capital’s secrets sets you apart as a true veteran of Legend of Elements.
