FreePlay Questline - The Curator

Meet The Curator, a loner scientist and artifact trader, who cut ties with the Institute after SIRCAA came to the Zone, and now works alone to solve the mysteries of artifacts.During your journey, you will explore the ever-burning fires of the Burnt Forest, the metal graveyards of Yantar, the bandit- and mercenary-infested Chemical Plants, and you may even need to make a deal with Sultan.Take on jobs from him and dive into a branching questline - but be cautious: your decisions may have consequences.

Questline structure (more or less)

Quest notes

- Quests cannot be cancelled once they have been picked up

- I suggest you to always read the dialogs and journal entries

- Most of the quest markers will lead you exactly where you need to go, but not all of them, sometimes you need to search

- If you are playing with Relation System Overhaul and/or Progression System Overhaul: Curator quests are giving Diggers reputation (+50, except the first task which is +30), so they contribute to progression

- Just a heads-up: do not try to solve the cryptic puzzle by yourself without having all 3 messages, because having all 3 of them will move the world state forward. This applies to the future as well, if you ever want to replay the story: you can't rush ahead to uncover the secret, you need the 3 notes before. This is a safeguard, so my quests will not "litter" the world with spawns, only when it is truly needed. If you don't understand a word of it, that is good, because that means you don't need to worry about it

Rescue mission

• []NPC is Loner (Neutral), but forced to be Friendly to the Player to avoid faction issues[/]

  []Again, NPC is Loner. He will engage bandits/mercs/etc. even if they are your friends (playing non-loner with freeplay). Sorry, solving this for all possible playable factions is close to impossible right now[/]

  []NPC is tanky to compensate for... well... being an NPC follower. However, he can die if you are careless[/]

  []If he seems stuck or not responsive (can happen when struck in melee with mutants or after a lots of combat), don't worry, just move towards your objective, the NPC has a safeguard short range teleport function that makes sure he will catch up sooner or later[/]

[*]The quest does not requie you to hand them over, just to pick them u
