Quests
Every Bracer request and side activity in Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter — standard and emergency requests, fishing, poker, casino and cooking.
Introduction
The Quests category covers every Bracer request and side activity in Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter. As a senior Bracer, Estelle picks up standard requests — defeating monsters, delivering items, investigating disturbances — from guildhouse job boards, and emergency requests occasionally trigger with harder targets and better rewards. Beyond requests, the game is famous for its delightful minigames: fishing across Liberl's waters, poker and casino chip games in Ruan, and a cooking system where you prepare meals with companions. Completing the full request list and side content raises your Bracer rank, unlocks exclusive rewards, and is the backbone of any 100% completion run. This category explains when each request becomes available, what you get for finishing it, and how to optimize your route so nothing is missed.

Side Content Types
Standard Requests
Standard Bracer requests are the bread-and-butter jobs posted on guildhouse boards, from defeating monsters and delivering items to investigating disturbances, and completing them awards mira and Bracer points while bundling requests in the same region avoids repeated travel as the board updates every story beat. Check the timing window for this activity in its chapter guide, since many request and minigame rewards rotate or expire once the story moves forward.
Emergency Requests
Emergency requests are time-limited quests that appear after specific story triggers with tight deadlines, usually involving stronger monsters or rescue missions, and they are the most missable content in the game, so keeping a spare save at the start of each chapter prevents locking yourself out of rank-ups. Check the timing window for this activity in its chapter guide, since many request and minigame rewards rotate or expire once the story moves forward.
Fishing
Fishing is a relaxing minigame where you cast at hotspots across Liberl to collect species and unlock rod upgrades, and buying the best bait each city sells while revisiting rare spots with upgraded rods maximizes your species count and feeds recipes and achievements. Check the timing window for this activity in its chapter guide, since many request and minigame rewards rotate or expire once the story moves forward.
Casino & Poker
Casino and poker games in Ruan build chips exchangeable for weapons, accessories and costumes, and setting a chip budget per visit keeps sessions efficient while the casino's best item rotation refreshes after each chapter, making frequent short visits better than one long grind. Check the timing window for this activity in its chapter guide, since many request and minigame rewards rotate or expire once the story moves forward.
Cooking
Cooking collects recipes from shops, quests and story moments and lets you prepare meals that buff stats and restore HP and EP, and different companions trigger unique cooking dialogue and rare outcomes, so rotating your party in the kitchen pays off both for flavor and completion. Check the timing window for this activity in its chapter guide, since many request and minigame rewards rotate or expire once the story moves forward.
Core Mechanics
Quest progression is tied to the Bracer Guild's chapter calendar. Each region's board fills with standard requests as you advance the story; completing them awards Bracer points that accumulate into your overall rank. Emergency requests appear at specific times of day or after story triggers and are frequently missable — the classic Trails trap. Fishing uses a dedicated rod system: each water source has a species pool, and rare fish unlock rod upgrades that let you reach deeper spots. Casino games (poker and slots) earn chips exchangeable for top-tier items, while cooking collect recipes from shops, quests and story moments; cooked meals grant temporary buffs and are often required for requests.
Advantages
The quest hub is the difference between a 40-hour story run and a complete 60-80 hour Liberl experience. Our request lists give timing windows, reward tables and missable warnings for every chapter, so you never lock yourself out of a Bracer rank-up. The minigame guides teach the actual mechanics — how to maximize fishing luck, which poker hands to play, which casino chips buy the best gear — rather than just listing content. Route optimization advice helps you knock out requests, chests and fishing in one pass per region instead of backtracking.

Challenges
Request lists for the 2026 remake are based on the original SC structure and the official feature announcements, so a few timings and reward amounts may shift at launch. Emergency request triggers in the original were notoriously easy to miss and the remake may adjust them. Expect the community to refine exact turn-by-turn request windows after launch. If you dislike grinding minigames, the casino and fishing complete packs can eat significant playtime; our guides help you prioritize what actually matters for achievements.

Quick Tips
Check every guildhouse board twice per chapter — emergency requests often appear after the first story trigger but expire before the next chapter starts. Check every guildhouse board twice per chapter because emergency requests often appear after the first story trigger but expire before the next chapter starts, making them the single most common cause of missed completion in the Trails series.
Save before fishing at rare spots; changing bait or re-casting can mean the difference between a common fish and a species you need for an achievement. Save before fishing at rare spots because changing bait or re-casting can mean the difference between a common fish and a species you need for an achievement, and rod upgrades unlock deeper water with better species pools after each chapter.
Cook with companions whenever new recipes unlock — meals give immediate buffs for boss fights and count toward several request conditions. Cook with companions whenever new recipes unlock because meals give immediate buffs for boss fights and count toward several request conditions, and rotating party members in the kitchen unlocks unique dialogue lines and sometimes rare recipe variants.
