'''Story Arcs''' are special setups in the game that reveal a piece of the story content over a series of [[mission]]s from a [[Contact]]. The number of missions can be small or large, but will all function as miniature stories themselves. Upon completion, a [[Souvenir]] is rewarded which allows you to read the storyline at a later time.  This summary is saved in a user's clues menu. Completing a Story Arc will net the player a significant [[XP]] bonus and, for most arcs, the choice of one of many types of [[Enhancement]]s.

Line 8: Line 4:
There are actually two types of Story Arc. Main arcs are signified by a yellow-covered book icon in the arc contact's window. Shorter, minor arcs are signified by a red-covered book. Each character may have a maximum of two active Main Arcs and three active minor Arcs at any given time. Contacts will not give missions that start a main or minor arc to a character who is at the limit for that type. Note that for Heroes, the zone-specific arcs from contacts in [[The Hollows]], [[Faultline]], [[Striga Isle]], and [[Croatoa]] are all minor arcs.

Overview

Story Arcs are special setups in the game that reveal a piece of the story content over a series of missions from a Contact. The number of missions can be small or large, but will all function as miniature stories themselves. Upon completion, a Souvenir is rewarded which allows you to read the storyline at a later time. This summary is saved in a user's clues menu. Completing a Story Arc will net the player a significant XP bonus and, for most arcs, the choice of one of many types of Enhancements.

There are actually two types of Story Arc. Main arcs are signified by a yellow-covered book icon in the arc contact's window. Shorter, minor arcs are signified by a red-covered book. Each character may have a maximum of two active Main Arcs and three active minor Arcs at any given time. Contacts will not give missions that start a main or minor arc to a character who is at the limit for that type. Note that for Heroes, the zone-specific arcs from contacts in The Hollows, Faultline, Striga Isle, and Croatoa are all minor arcs.
