Revision - subquests - Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Wiki

Subquests are the optional requests picked up by talking to people around Dagsion in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. They pay gold, items and Renown, they run to deadlines on the in-game calendar, and most of them send the party out onto the world map to fight, gather or deliver something. They sit in the free time between main missions covered on Between-Match Preparation.

How Subquests Work

The game keeps two kinds of quest in separate tabs. The generic Subquest list can turn up on any Hero's route, while each Hero also has a quest type of their own that only appears on that route. Subquests appear from Chapter 4 of Part I, when free time begins. There are none in Part II and a handful in Part III, all of which expire on the in-game date 6/6, the end of the game's last free time.

Hero	Own Quest Type	What It Involves
Cai	Kindness Quests	Small requests from people around town, introduced by a tutorial early in his route
Dietrich	Dread Warrior Challenge Quests	One-on-one duels that teach Dietrich a new combat art and pay gold and Renown; which challenges appear depends on Renown, and all of them end on 11/24, the last day of his Part I route
Theodora	Send Supplies Quests	Deliveries of goods such as Caltrop Flowers, Roca or Kothar Gar back to her nation, paying gold and Renown; all of them end on 10/24, the last day of her Part I route
Leda	Perform Quests	Performances at the tavern and in towns that pay Renown, gold and items and can open new places on the map

Which generic subquests appear is not simply fixed by the Hero. Two players working from the retail game found availability looked semi-random and seemed to depend on the order in which the Part I routes are played, so a quest missing on one route will usually turn up on another. Deadlines can also shift slightly between Heroes.

Carry-Over Between Routes

A generic subquest only ever has to be done once. Completing it on one Part I route marks it complete on every route played afterwards, and its rewards are granted automatically. That carry-over applies to a route started after an earlier route has been finished, and to a completed route replayed from Chapter 1; a route started while another is still in progress does not inherit it. Routes covers the replay function.

Chains and Exclusive Quests

Several subquests unlock the next in a chain, and one pair splits into two chains that exclude each other. In Chapter 8 a Suspicious Knight in the port and Daniel in Temple Row both ask for the same Sealed Letter from the Unmanned Storehouse, and taking one closes the other. Neither branch is clearly better, so the usual advice is to follow one branch on one route and the other on a later route.

Chain	Quests in Order
Suspicious Knight branch	A Letter of Some Gravity, then Assassination (No Questions), then A Lost Object
Daniel branch	For the Empire's Safety, then Flamma Smugglers
Insect pearls	The Fabled Insect Pearl, then More Fabled Insect Pearls, then Even More Fabled Insect Pearls
Unerring Blades	A Challenge, then Another Challenge, then One Last Challenge
The boy's house	Can't Go Home, then Can't Stay Home

Some subquests only ever appear for one Hero: Monster in the Night, Learning More about Mehdel and Great Dancer's Successor for Leda, and Catching Sweetie's Eye for Dietrich. One matters beyond its reward. My Late Sister's Accessory, given by Creek, lets Creek be recruited in Part II, as long as the War Arc is completed for the Hero who finished the quest; it does not appear on every route, so it may take more than one route to find it. Recruitment covers the other characters with quest requirements.

Legacy of a Legendary Sculptor sends the party after four statues: Fortuna's at Solel's Temple in Elektra to the east, Kalla's at Utuna Pass in Castalia to the north, Jurah's at Gaura Grassland in Amalthea to the west, and Yu Phas's at Lake Brontes in Saveilon to the south.
