Introduction
Dungeon Master Quests are a series of out-of-game
quests that DMs can undertake during the course of a
specific season's adventures to encourage play of
D&D Adventurers League adventures. These quests
provide rewards for the DM’s character and their
players.
Some quests are season specific and others will
carry on and renew each season (League Quests vs
Storyline). When a DM runs their first adventure for
the current season, they should download the DM
Quests packet from the DMsGuild, which consists of a
DM Quests card, DM Details and Rewards and other
special rewards for the season. The DM Quests card is
a fun checklist that DMs can use to track their ongoing
quest progress or record those they may have already
completed. The DM Quests Details and Rewards is a
detailed document of all the quest and includes quest
name, quest activity, frequency, the DM and player
rewards associated, and other details of the DM Quest
rewards program.
To join the DM Quests program a DM need simply
download the DM Quests packet from the DMsGuild
and print out the card (preferably in color and on
cardstock)
Whenever a DM finishes a quest they check it off on
their DM Quest card and apply the rewards as a
separate entry on their logsheet as detailed in the DM
Quest Details and Rewards. Some rewards include
special player rewards for games that the DM hosts.

What is a Legacy Item?
Legacy items are rewards that grow with the
character they were given to. When awarded a legacy
item starts as an uncommon armor or weapon and
can only be awarded to a 1st level character. A legacy
item keeps its form, sword, axe, armor, etc, etc. As the
character advances into a new tier the item grows
into a tier appropriate item according to its category
and form. Currently legacy items are limited to
weapons and armor. For example, a longsword could
start as a +1 longsword (uncommon for level 1-4,
turn into a Sword of Wounding (rare, levels 5-10),
Sword of Wounding (very rare, levels 11-16), and
then turn into Vorpal Sword (legendary, levels 17-
20). These items can only be chosen from items in
the Dungeon Masters Guide, IE (no +4 weapons). A
Staff of the Magi is not an appropriate choice, as it is
not in the 'weapon' category of magic items. Legacy
items are not tradeable and cannot be sentient items.
