Desert Zone

27 quests take place in the Desert Zone.

Gathering points

Point numbers match the small numbers on the map. Online quests of 4 stars and up use the latter lists; village quests and online quests of 1 to 3 stars use the early ones. Some quests change a point or add one, and those rows name the quests. Max is how many times a point gives an item before it runs out.
