Quick Links
In a game as large asTales of Arise, players will no doubt have access to many subquests. Side content is nothing new to theTales Series, andTales of Ariseis no exception. Some quests become permanently unavailable after a plot point in-game has been reached. Others start early but can take the entire game to complete.
One example is the Bibliophile Quest. In short, this entailsRinwell showing different tomesto an NPC in Menancia. Players would be wise to fulfill this task if they want the 2nd strongest weapon (Heavenly Gaze) and the Pancake Recipe.

“Bibliophile” requires Rinwell’s following weapons:
All of these can be obtained through crafting except for the first one (Secrets of the Stars).Crafting weapons inTales of Ariseinvolves farming dropped materials from certain enemies. As players progress through the story, they will be able to craft the necessary weapons such as Nature’s Beauty.
