Players must complete the main and side quests while exploring the Living Lands to have the full experience in Avowed. While the main quests focus on the Envoy’s journey and how they are trying to cure the Dreamscourge, the side quests help make the story come to life and make players have an unforgettable experience.
While you can ignore side quests and focus solely on the main quests, it’s not recommended as you will miss out on various rare materials and armor as well as some amazing lore related to the region or the Living Lands in general.
