How the systems connect
MainQuest isn't a list of features — it's an interconnected loop. The pieces reinforce each other so that doing one thing well makes the next thing easier:
- Your hero has stats. Your Class and Attributes (INT, STR, CHR, DEX, VIT) set the baseline. Every quest you complete in the matching domain grows the relevant stat.
- Tasks become quests. The Quest System turns each todo into a Trivial → Legendary mission with XP and gold rewards. Daily quests cycle on a 3 AM boundary; one-off quests live until completed.
- XP and gold drive growth. XP & Leveling unlocks abilities and inventory slots. Gold pays for Inventory items and (eventually) the Marketplace.
- Mana powers spells. Hydration logging tops up Mana, which fuels QuickCast actions like Streak Protection, XP Boost, and HP Recovery.
- Real stakes via HP. Missed daily quests damage your HP. Zero HP = death — you respawn at the next 3 AM tick with penalties unless a friend revives you via a Second Chance Scroll.
- Focus sessions multiply XP. Run a Pomodoro / Flowmodoro session via the Focus Timer and the XP you earn during it stacks with quest rewards.
- The story moves with you. Weekly Story chapters give your week a narrative arc tied to one of three factions.
For a deeper walkthrough of the loop, read the Getting Started guide or the Daily Rhythm guide.
Where to start
Pick the entry point that matches your goal. None of these are locked — you can use every feature on day one.
Start with quick wins
Stack five small daily quests to load the instant-dopamine pipeline before tackling anything hard.
Start with streaks
Configure 3–5 daily quests, lock Streak Protection from the Mana panel, and chain them with Habit Links for bonus XP.
Start with focus
Open a Focus Session, pick Pomodoro or Flowmodoro, and let XP accumulate alongside completion.
Feature questions, answered
Do I need to use every feature?
No. The core loop is Quests → XP → Levels. Everything else (Mana, Focus Timer, Story Mode, Skills) layers on as you want it.
Which features are not yet built?
Pages marked "Coming Soon": Guilds, Boss Battles, Pet Companions, Custom Quest Creator, Item Marketplace, Advanced Analytics. Parties are live today.
Is MainQuest free?
Yes — every gameplay feature is free during the open beta. No ads, no paywalls.
What makes the feature set ADHD-friendly?
Three things: instant XP feedback on every action, short-loop quests instead of long-haul checklists, and forgiving streak mechanics (Streak Protection spells, 3 AM day boundary) so one bad day doesn't erase a month of progress.
How is this different from Habitica?
Modern UI, offline-capable mobile, built-in Focus Timer, deep RPG mechanics (Classes, Skills, Story), and a faster shipping cadence. See the full MainQuest vs Habitica comparison.
