Isgard Lost Expedition
Follow four survivor signals across Isgard.
The search progresses through multiple regions:
- Moryara Coast
- Frozen Back Route
- Frozen rear passage
- Far frozen ridge
Follow the chat messages after discovering each signal. After locating the fourth signal, return to the Expedition Officer.
Isgard Rescue Operation
This mission contains four stages:

The assigned route may use Moryara Coast, the Frozen Back Route, or Snake God's Warmth.
Rgan Tracking Operation
This mission begins with three investigation checkpoints:

- Ice Castle approach on the Frozen Back Route
After all three traces are found, a randomized Rgan target is revealed.
The player must then enter Snake God's Warmth I and eliminate the required number of the revealed target.
Isgard Supply Recovery
Recover four expedition supply caches in a randomized order.
The mission alternates between Moryara Coast and the Frozen Back Route. One detected signal may be a decoy.
Follow the NPC warps and chat messages until all four caches are recovered.
Mana Disturbance Investigation
Survey unstable mana zones and eliminate creatures feeding the disturbance.
The mission requires:

Both requirements must be completed before the reward can be claimed.
Isgard Night Patrol

When accepted, one of three challenges is selected randomly:
- Tough Weekly Isgard Hunt

Tough Weekly Isgard Hunt
The player is assigned:
- One randomized Episode 19 monster
- A randomized kill requirement

The assigned material has a 40% recovery chance when defeating the correct target.
Both the monster elimination requirement and material recovery requirement must be completed.
The required recovered materials are removed when the reward is claimed.
Dangerous Target Chain
Defeat four consecutive randomized targets.
