What happened

Bandai Namco published the Community Quests schedule on August 31.

The first questline runs September 1–28, followed by separate October, November and December questlines.

The practical change: Play on any supported platform during the event window and use Bandai Namco's official Discord updates to check global progress rather than treating one account's actions as completion.

What is confirmed

  • September targets are 300,000 summons of Sorcerer Rogier, 2 million Stonesword Keys collected, 1.5 million Cookbooks collected and 1 million Sacred Tears collected.
  • The listed reward is exclusive artwork by Shimaq plus a Twitch chat badge.
  • Later questlines are scheduled for October 1–30, November 1–29 and December 1–20.
  • The article also lists the Tarnished Pack for $4.99 and the Switch 2 Tarnished Edition.

What this means for players

The goals are global totals, so players do not need to complete every target alone.

The event gives returning players a dated reason to revisit summoning and exploration systems.

What is still unconfirmed

The announcement does not guarantee when each progress milestone will be reported or whether every region receives identical store pricing.

What to do next

  1. 01
    Check Bandai Namco's official event updates for progress.
  2. 02
    Avoid buying the Tarnished Pack solely to participate; the listed goals use base-game actions.
  3. 03
    Treat the Switch 2 mention as edition availability, not a separate community-quest ruleset.
