44 Main Quests are the story-progression questline in Windrose. They lead the player from the shipwreck prologue through survival tutorials, ship repair, naval combat, the Coastal Jungle boss route, and the Foothills boss route toward the Forgotten Relics artifact chain. The in-game quest log tags each of the seven launch-build main quests with an internal id (Islander, Rescue of Prisoners, I Need a Bigger Boat, Seafarer, Revenge, Lost Cargo, Forgotten Relic) even though the displayed title is often the narrative name. The main questline gates both faction access and major crafting tiers, so finishing it is the cleanest route through the current build.
