"Earn daily from each story journal chapter." Does this mean you can get 1 a day max? 78.22.226.129 16:01, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

No, you can get one from each story step. 163.116.129.118 16:36, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Fastest acquisition from replaying story chapters[edit]

So far I've found the following replay choices give the maximum Tales of Adventure in the shortest time, but there could be better methods:

  • Old Friends - skip to the final part of the story in Lornar's Pass (Detention in Shing Jea)
~6 minutes 15 seconds (with breaking out of the jail sooner via rock -> bench, stick -> keys, bandages -> soup, sticky bandages -> key, key -> door) -Towelcat (talk) 05:54, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • The Scenic Route - skip to The Scenic Route instance (where you give mai trin noodles)
~6 minutes. -Towelcat (talk) 05:43, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Fallout - skip to securing arborstone where you fight the saltspray dragon
~5 minutes. -Towelcat (talk) 05:27, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • In the Name of the Law - skip to final checkpoint of Kaineng Overlook strike (story mode, use aurene empowerment)
~5 minutes. -Towelcat (talk) 05:20, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • The Only One - skip to final part of HT temple story (which is just listening to coversations)
~4.5 minutes -Towelcat (talk) 05:32, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Can't Trust a Pirate using the final checkpoint is also just some conversations and a bit of interacting --Khisanth (talk) 23:22, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
Takes ~4 minutes to complete. Make sure you stand near the banner for the blindfold, then near Ivan, then near the console to save a bit of time at each step. -Towelcat (talk) 05:04, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

If you have Janthir Wilds, the Homestead story is a quick way to get 5:

  • Home Sweet Home - Skip to the part where you decorate your homestead with a Bed. The preceding unsigned comment was added by Defias (talk) at 11:28, 28 October 2025‎ (UTC).
This one takes ~3.5 minutes, pretty good. -Towelcat (talk) 04:55, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
Grants only 1 Tale, where did you get 5? I have a screenshot to prove it. 45.134.212.39 12:19, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
You may have been hit by diminishing returns. Happened to me earlier where I got 5 for the first 6 and then 1 for the next two. Came back a few hours later and was getting 5 again. -Towelcat (talk) 06:26, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

Took the liberty of compiling a list of fairly quick Non/Low-Combat Replay Stars that grant 5 Tales (typically you want to skip to the last step):

Ch 14: The Only One - [&BKAMAAA=] - Skip to the Last Step
  • Secrets of the Obscure
Ch 9: The World Spire - [&BAoOAAA=] - Skip to the Isgarren fight star. (*Combat, but very quick fight)

--Defias (talk) 20:26, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

VOE story chapter repeats do not appear to give any Tales of Adventure. Tested with repeating the entirety of chapter 6, as well as the last mission of chapter 7 and chapter 8. Asurabutt (talk) 13:05, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

Feedback 2023/07/21[edit]

The bug that prevented Tales of Adventure when not the instance owner seems to be fixed. --82.71.45.17 13:00, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Currency list[edit]

why is the currency list shown at the bottom? This is neither a currency nor a token.

You buy items at that vendor with tales of adventure, it's a currency only for that vendor (it does not speak for the item in general). --ItVictor (talk) 00:39, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

The expansion logos in the top right corner of the page needs to be updated[edit]

Currently it shows only EoD. --23.90.184.136 08:00, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Updated. Thanks for pointing that out! Sunlion (talk) 08:09, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
