Story Arc

Overveiw

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. A player may not begin a Main Story Arc if he already has two Main Arcs active, even if he or she has room for another mission. Note that for Heroes, the zone-specific arcs from contacts in The Hollows, Faultline, Striga Isle, and Croatoa are all minor arcs.
