Rift is a game that offers many different types of quests. The two major quest types are ofcourse the storyline one and the one that is related to earning the souls (subclasses).

Other quest are those such as end-game quests, quests that provide special rewards which tends to not be related to the storyline, dailies which are obtained from entering dungeons, hidden quests and finally, those that everyone loves, quests that are done just for the fun of it.

Quests that involves raid and instance bosses are referred to heroic challenges and winning those bosses is ultimately the quest. Like other MMORPGs, there are quests that must be done solo, could be done solo and may require an entire party to complete. Chains of quest are also featured in Rift which tends to involve one quest leading to the other and must be done sequentially. There are many resources for Rift questing in forums, community sites as well as an entire Rift guide dedicated to listing out all the available Rift quests.

On the other hand, there are dailies are quests that could be done over and over again to gather experience or so. Rift also makes this sort of quest available.
