Repeatable quests in Hondel can be done forever and you can hold several at once.
One daily quest per day, and only once you have reached the Valley of the Devah.

Kal Online has more quest types than the interface suggests. There are normal quests from the NPCs standing around each leveling zone, repeatable kill quests out in Hondel, a single daily quest, and the Game Guide System that quietly feeds beginners items. This guide covers how to read a quest and what the first stretch of them actually pays, using the publisher's own tables.

How to read a quest

Click the [Quest] button in the top right corner or press the Q hotkey to open your quest list. Ticking a quest's checkbox opens the Quest Notice UI, which shows the target and the required amount. For directions, open the Quest tab in the World Map (hotkey ,) and click a quest from your list. The map then marks where the monster spawns.

Normal quests

Normal quests are the backbone of early leveling. They are accepted and completed at the same local NPC, they go quickly, and the reward is experience plus an item. The tables on the publisher's quest page list every one, with the NPC, the EXP, and the reward.

The first town, Narootuh, starts almost trivially and ramps fast:

Lv 13, Mak-AnSoo, Subduing the Wild Demon Carcass Scavenger, 3,339 EXP, Speed up Medicine x5
Lv 13, Mak-AnSoo, Subduing the Wild Demon Escort Soldier, 4,172 EXP

Jook-Suh Cargo Station continues the same pattern at levels 15 to 24:

Lv 15, Kang-Chan, Subduing the Naughty Doggebi, 0 EXP
Lv 16, Chief Guard, Subduing the Big Handed Slave, 4,873 EXP, Medium Medicine x20
Lv 16, Guard, Subduing the Big Handed Blue Warrior, 5,057 EXP, New comer's Scroll of Rebirth x1
Lv 16, Guard, Subduing the Big Handed Red Warrior, 5,057 EXP, Speed up Medicine x5
Lv 18, Shin-Woo, Subduing the Demon Soldier, 8,687 EXP, Small natural regeneration potion x5
Lv 18, Shin-Woo, Subduing the Demon Infantry, 9,051 EXP
Lv 18, Shin-Woo, Subduing the Demon Throwing Soldier, 9,051 EXP, Magic Scroll to Jook-Suh Cargo Station [For Individual] x10
Lv 20, Yeon-Woo, Subduing the Demon Shock Trooper, 9,834 EXP, necklace x1

Lv 20, Yeon-Woo, Subduing the Ferocious Demon Shock Trooper, 10,236 EXP, Medium Medicine x30

Lv 22, Jin-Phil, Subduing the Demon Band, 10,659 EXP, New comer's Scroll of Rebirth x1
Lv 22, Jin-Phil, Subduing the Demon Armored Knight, 10,659 EXP, Lesser Stone of EXP 12hour x1
Lv 22, Jin-Phil, Subduing the Demon Mad Knight, 12,813 EXP
Lv 22, Jin-Phil, Subduing the Demon Commander, 12,813 EXP
Lv 24, Jae-Hyeok, Subduing the Elite Demon Mad Knight, 15,185 EXP, Trinket x1
Lv 24, Jae-Hyeok, Subduing the Elite Demon Commander, 15,185 EXP, Magic Scroll to Geum-Oh Mine [For Individual] x5

A few things stand out when you read the tables together. Every quest is a kill quest, so the system is really a guided tour of each zone's monster list. The reward items are consumables, teleport scrolls, and the occasional gear piece, with a Ring at level 5, a Talisman at level 10, a Necklace at level 20, and a Trinket at level 24. Teleport scrolls come in two versions, [For Party] and [For Individual], and the party ones are rarer and show up earlier, which is a hint that the game expects group play around the first town.

The EXP curve is the other thing worth noticing. A level 1 quest pays 3 EXP, a level 10 quest pays 785, a level 24 quest pays 15,185, and by the Royal Tomb the numbers are in the millions. The published table for the last zones runs up to 10,685,097,920,644 EXP for the level 116 quest from Tae-Baek, which puts the early rewards in perspective. Take them anyway, since they cost nothing beyond walking to the NPC.

Repeatable quests

Repeatable quests can be completed indefinitely, and each completion pays experience plus a reward item bundle. Jade, in the Hondel region, hands them out, and you can start more than one at a time. Most ask for 30 kills, with two exceptions that ask for 10.

Troublesome Desert Scorpion, Desert Scorpion x30
Suspicious Movement, Skeleton Soldier and Skeleton Archer x30
Twisted Demon Warrior's retaliation, Twisted Demon Warrior x30
Xill eradication, Xill and Xill Archer x30
Monster Solution, Starved Xill soldier and Xill Conjurator x30
Intruder of Hondel, Master Skeleton Warrior and Master Skeleton Archer x10
Reducing the number of the Master Wraith, Master Wraith x10

Daily quests

You can perform one daily quest per day, and not on the Kal mainland. Daily quests need a character that has already ventured into the Valley of the Devah. Talk to Noynir in the Hondel region and the game randomly gives you one of the available daily quests. The published example is Defense plans for the Hondel Region, which asks for 30 kills of a single Hondel monster, one of Knoll senior soldier, Knoll Mad Warrior, Wounded Evolve Zombie, Wounded Zombie Conjurator, or Goblin Warrior.

The Game Guide System

Levels 1 to 60 get their own system. The Game Guide System uses in-game NPCs to hand beginners useful information and rewards, and the NPC Seohak is the one who talks to you. Seohak appears in Narootuh, Jook-Suh Cargo Station, Geum-Oh Mine, The Pub of the Giant Bird, the Temporary Fort of Geum-Ohee Castle, and the City of Priest. The NPC gives you a piece of game information matched to your level every 10 levels, at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60, and the system also provides reward items automatically. If you are leveling an alt, that is free potions and gear you would otherwise buy.
