We've broken them down for you, so let's get them done!
Material Quests
First up, we've got quests where you'll need to do a bit of monster hunting to grab specific materials. Don't worry, these are usually pretty common enemies.
Material Quest 1: Small Shells
You'll need to head towards the Fortress Entrance area. Your goal is to collect 2 Small Shells. These are dropped by the Krabbles you'll find around there. It's a straightforward one, and you'll get 500G for your trouble.

For these two quests, you'll be heading to the Ether Light area. The objective is to collect 2 Vang Teeth. The enemies you're looking for are the Little Vangs. Both quests give you 800G, so it's worth doing them together if you can!

Collection Quests
These are a bit different – you're not fighting monsters, but rather finding specific collectible items scattered around Colony 9.
Collection Quest 1: Rabbit Diodes
Head over to the Ether Light area. You need to collect 2 Rabbit Diodes. This one's a quick 500G reward.
Collection Quest 2: Plate Snow
Another one for the Ether Light area. This time, you just need to find 1 Plate Snow. It's a bit less lucrative, offering 300G, but still good to clear out.

Search Quests
These are the quests where you'll be helping out some of the non-unique NPCs by finding their lost items. They usually offer a good chunk of EXP along with the money!
Search Quest 1: Wedding Ring
Start in the Central Plaza. You need to find a lost Wedding Ring. The item is located in the Commercial District, specifically Behind Dunban’s House. You'll get a solid 1200G and 50 EXP for this.
Search Quest 2: Blue Glass Bead
Head to Tranquil Square. Your mission is to find a lost Blue Glass Bead. You'll find it in Tranquil Square itself, behind a building near the bridge. This one nets you 1200G and 50 EXP.
Search Quest 3: The Key
This quest starts at the Ether Light. You need to find a lost Key. Look for it Behind a house in the Southern parts of Tranquil Square. Completing this gives you 1200G and 50 EXP.
Search Quest 4: The Spanner
Your final search quest takes you to Tranquil Square. You're looking for a lost Spanner. It's located On an upper level near the Gem Man’s Stall. This is the best paying one of the bunch, giving you 1500G and 50 EXP. Nice!
