SideQuest turns your real steps into XP and expedition progress. For your first walk, accept The Wanderer's quest, start Forest Trail, then come back to collect your rewards.

== 1. Set up step tracking ==
Choose your username and follow the setup screens. Allow SideQuest to read your steps through '''Apple Health on iOS''' or '''Health Connect on Android'''.

On Android, if you use Samsung Health, Google Fit, or Fitbit, enable Health Connect sync in that app too.

Notifications are optional. Choose '''Maybe Later''' if you want to set them up another time. Once setup is finished, you'll reach '''Home'''.

== 2. Accept your first quest ==
Open '''Quests → Story''' and talk to '''The Wanderer'''. Choose '''Start 'The Expedition' Quest'''.

His task is to finish one expedition. '''Accept the quest before you finish the expedition.''' Earlier completions do not count toward it.

== 3. Start Forest Trail ==
[[File:Forest Trail scenery.png|thumb|240px|Forest Trail is free and takes 500 steps before bonuses.]]
Open '''Quests → Expeditions''', find '''[[Forest Trail]]''', and tap '''START''' for a solo expedition.

* Forest Trail is available from the start and costs nothing to unlock.
* It takes '''500 steps''' without an Expedition Speed bonus.
* You can start without a class or equipment.

'''Start the expedition before you set off.''' Steps taken earlier in the day do not fill a new expedition.

Go for your walk. When you return, open '''Home''' and pull down to sync your steps. You can check your expedition's progress in '''Quests → Expeditions'''.

<div class="sq-item-clear"></div>

== 4. Collect both rewards ==
When Forest Trail is finished, tap '''CLAIM REWARD''' on '''Home'''. Its base reward is '''15 to 30 coins and 25 XP''', on top of the XP from walking. Discoveries and gear chests are chance rewards. A specific item is not guaranteed.

Then return to '''Quests → Story → The Wanderer'''. Choose '''Complete Quest''', then '''CLAIM REWARDS''' to collect another '''100 coins and 100 XP'''.

These are two separate claims: one for the expedition and one for the quest. Claim your expedition reward before starting another solo run.

== 5. Check what you found ==
On '''Home''', tap the '''chest icon''' to open Inventory. The '''Items''' tab holds consumables and unopened chests; '''Gear''' holds weapons and armor.

For discoveries, tap the '''profile icon''' on Home, then '''Discovery Log'''. Tap an item there to examine it. You might find {{Item link|Mushroom|Mushroom.png}}, but a first run does not guarantee one.

== What next? ==
* '''Try another route.''' Repeat Forest Trail or spend '''100 coins''' to unlock '''[[River Path]]'''. This is a one-time purchase; the route stays unlocked.
* '''Choose a class at level 10.''' Talk to '''Master Shugo''' in '''Quests → Story'''. Your first class also comes with a starter weapon.
* '''Read about pets when you get an egg.''' '''Beastmaster Mia''' becomes available when you own an egg or pet. See '''[[Pets]]'''. Forest Trail does not drop eggs.
