	Quests in Diablo II are a fun part of the game, and some must be completed in each act to advance to the next Act or difficulty level. Diablo II has Four Acts with six quests in the first three acts, (and one secret bonus quest in Act One) and three in the final act. The Expansion adds a fifth act with six more quests, but doesn't change how any of the quests in the first four acts work, other than adding a little bit to the last quest in Act Four.

	To access information about quests, press the "Q" button on your keyboard, or whatever you have changed it to if you've custom set your hotkeys. There is also a Quests button on the mini-panel pop up icon strip, and when a Quest is being given, either by an NPC or triggered by you entering an area with one, the Quest Log buttom will pop up to the lower left of your screen. If you click it the Quests window will open up with the current quest highlighted, and more info about it in the box at the bottom. The info presented in this box will generally guide you through the quest, telling you just where to go or who to talk to next. You can always check it for more info if you get lost. The Speech button at the lower right will replay the dialogue you heard from an NPC or read in a book when you first were given the quest.

	Some quests you can do anyway, even if they say you can't. These include all of the ones where you must kill something or open a chest to obtain some quest item. If you need the item the monster or chest will drop it, even if the quest isn't available that game. You'll get the item, you just won't get credit for the quest, but that doesn't matter in these cases.		Some quests you can do anyway, even if they say you can't.

	Quest rewards are often quite useful. You can get bonus skill points, stat points, experience, nice items, and more for doing quests.

	Each of the three difficulty levels are self-contained. You must redo all the quests, find all the waypoints, etc on each difficulty level.

	Often you'll want to advance to the next act to get a quest reward found at the start of it, and then perhaps go back to the previous act to gain more experience before moving on permanently. This is true as well with the first quest in Act One, which gives you a bonus skill point. You might want to defeat Diablo (or Baal, if you are playing the Expansion) and move onto Nightmare or Hell, do the Den of Evil and get your skill point, then go back down a difficulty level to level up some more.

	A key aspect of defeating a difficulty level if you play on Battle.net is that you will then only see games created in the highest difficulty level you can play in. If you kill Diablo ~~in D2 on normal~~, you will only see Nightmare games to join with that character, making it hard to join one ~~and gain more experience~~. You'll need someone to tell you the name of a Normal game, look yourself with another character, or create games of that difficulty level and hope others join in to boost your experience.

You~~'ll want to learn which ~~quests~~ are ~~worth doing and~~ which ~~are just there for the fun of them~~, ~~and we have~~ that ~~info~~ on these pages.~~</font>~~		Quest rewards are often quite useful. You can get bonus skill points, stat points, experience, nice items, and more for doing quests. Not all quests are required, and not all have useful rewards; you'll want to learn which are which, information that's provided on these pages.

	You only get your quest rewards once. You can do each quest multiple times, but once you get the special reward the first time you do it, you can't get it again, though you still might get nice items dropped by the quest monster, and you'll gain experience from killing things along the way.		You only get your quest rewards once per difficulty level. You can do each quest multiple times, but once you get the special reward the first time you do it, you can't get it again, though you still might get nice items dropped by the quest monster, and you'll gain experience from killing things along the way.

	In Diablo II prior to v1.08, the Quest bosses in Acts Two, Three, and Four dropped a special better quality item the first time you kill them. Usually a Rare, but sometimes a Unique or Set item. This was only guaranteed the first kill, after that they might drop something special, but usually just some blue (magical) items.

This was only guaranteed the first kill, after that they might drop something special, but usually just some blue (magical) items.

	~~Since~~ v1.08, and in D2X, ~~these so called~~ "Uber drops" ~~are no more, and bosses now all drop randomly if you are killing them for the first time or the fiftieth time~~. This ~~is actually~~ a ~~good thing~~, since ~~they~~ have much better ~~overall quality~~ to ~~their drops, and often~~ drop ~~4 or 6~~ items, with several of them being Rare/Set/Unique. So they are well worth killing, multiple times even, you just don't have that guarantee the first time you kill them, unless you are playing a version earlier than v1.08.		In v1.08+ D2C and D2X, the "Uber drops" were removed. This might not be discernible, especially to characters with a lot of [[magic find]], since Act Bosses have much better odds than other monsters to drop high-quality items.
