Missions are time-limited tasks players can take on in order to earn a variety of rewards.

Accessible through the Missions page, missions task the player with a variety of objectives to complete on warzone continents of Auraxis, dependent on the exact mission, and once completed their rewards can be claimed at any time, granting the player Experience Points and a potential of a whole host of other rewards.

Players can accept all of their missions which can be completed up to twelve hours after being accepted, and the pool of missions refreshes every eight hours with the timer beginning when the character is logged into for the first time after the previous timer has elapsed.

To access the Missions page, interact (E by default) with a mission board in a Warpgate or aboard Sanctuary, or press the Open Mission Page hotkey (I by default) at any time.

Mission Slots[]

Each type of Mission can only appear in a given slot in the daily line-up. Each slot has a theme and a pool of missions it can present to the player, with rewards getting higher the further down the mission list the mission is.

The final two mission slots present missions offered by Nanite Systems and the Black Market which offer ISO-4 and A7, respectively, instead of Certification Points.

Training Missions[]

Training Missions are a unique set of missions, only available to characters of Battle Rank 15 or below. They task the player with engaging in the game in some way, by playing a class, using game mechanics such as Join Combat, or interacting with Generators.

These missions will replace all mission slots with five Training Missions until the first mission refresh after the player reaches Battle Rank 16. All Training Missions award Experience Points and Certification Points.

Campaign Side-Missions[]

Campaign Side-Missions are unlockable missions, available to players who have engaged in an active Campaign. They often task players with repeating objectives from campaign events. They are indicated with a white bar and feature the icon of their relevant campaign's Campaign Standing beside their name.

These missions can be contracted by either the Black Market or Nascent Expeditions, with the latter represented by a New Conglomerate logo, although rewards are not affected by the contractor in this case. Campaign side-missions always award a moderately low amount of experience points as well as Campaign Standing, and are the only source of the currency after the character has finished all campaign events.

Once unlocked, these missions are available in their own slot on a daily basis until the end of the relevant campaign.

Mission Rewards[]

The reward pool for a mission is based on the type of the mission, as well as the contractor. The contractor can be seen on the right-hand side of the mission screen.

All missions award a varied amount of Experience Points, and then an additional currency—Certification Points, ISO-4, A7, or Campaign Standing—dependant on the contractor. Each contractor will always reward the same additional currency, although the exact amount posted will vary based on the slot of the mission.

Players with Premium Membership will receive an additional amount of currency whenever they complete a mission.

For exact reward numbers, refer to the specific mission's article.
