'''Quest''' is an [[Event]] from [[Adventures]].  It lets the buyer discard cards to [[gain]] a {{Card|Gold}}.

== FAQ ==
=== Official FAQ ===
* You may either discard an [[Attack]] to gain a Gold, or discard two {{Card|Curse|Curses}} to gain a Gold, or discard any 6 cards to gain a Gold.
* The gained Gold is put into your discard pile. 
* You may choose to discard 6 cards despite not having enough cards in hand; you will discard everything and not gain a Gold. 
* You may choose to discard two Curses despite only having one; you will discard that Curse and not gain a Gold.

== Strategy ==
There is no strategy article for Quest, but it has been discussed on the [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=14941.0 forum.]

Quest gives you three alternative options for gaining a {{Card|Gold}} other than just buying one. They are all fairly mediocre, but assuming Gold is a card you even want (in some [[engine]]s, you won't), if the situation arises at least once per game, Quest did its job.

Discarding the Attack is probably the most useful option, and the only one you can actually try to plan for to some extent. Most Attacks are [[terminal]], so if you buy two of them, for example if you open double {{Card|Ambassador}}, they might [[collide|collision]]. If that happens, you can play one of them, then discard the other one during the Buy phase to gain a Gold. This might be a rare case where Quest is decent in an engine: save a cheap Attack you're not using anymore (maybe an {{Card|Urchin}}, for example), make sure you have enough buys, and get a cheap Gold on top of whatever else you're getting that turn. It's also useful in [[terminal draw]] [[Big Money]] with +Buy, for example with {{Card|Margrave}}: drawing an Attack dead (maybe your other Margrave) is not such a big deal if you can get a Gold out of it.

Discarding two {{Card|Curse}}s is nothing you'll be very happy with - you'd rather just trash the Curses if you get the chance, even if it means not getting a Gold. But if you have a dud hand with two Curses and no way to trash them, you might as well go for the Quest to get something useful out of a bad turn. Just don't try to plan for it, that's just not ever worth it.

Discarding six cards is a lot. If you want to discard six cards to get a Gold, that means the average value of your cards is less than a {{Card|Copper}}, which in turn either means your deck is pretty bad or you had a really bad turn that involved a draw card of some kind. As with the Curses, don't try to plan for it, but keep the option in the back of your mind.

=== Synergies/Combos ===
* COMBO: {{Card|Faithful Hound}}. As it returns to your hand each turn if you use {{Card|Quest}} to discard it, you start every turn with 6 cards, thus guaranteeing you continual consecutive use of {{Card|Quest}} for as long as you wish.
* Opponent's {{Card|Torturer|Torturers}}, as the Curse goes to your hand.
* {{Card|Tunnel|Tunnels}}, as you can use its discard mechanic to discard Tunnels outside of your Clean-Up Phase even if you fail to discard six cards. Works best with [[+Buy]].
* Opponent's {{Card|Haunted Woods}} and a source of [[+Buy]], as you can discard your hand before buying a card to avoid having to put your hand on your deck.
* Opponent's {{Card|Council Room}} or {{Card|Governor}} allowing you to draw on their turn.
* {{Card|Ghost Town}} allows you to begin your second turn with 6 cards.
* {{Card|Hideout}} can provide two curses.

=== Secret History ===
{{Quote|Text=At first you didn't discard the cards, you just needed to have them. You needed 6 in hand or 10-12 in play. It went nuts with +Buys.

=== Relevant outtakes ===
{{Quote|Text=I tried a variant of Quest that required trashing but gained {{Card|Duchy|Duchies}}, that was also just used on your last turn.

=== Possibility of cheating ===
If you discard 2 {{Card|Curse}}s, the wording on Quest doesn't require you to reveal them.
{{Quote|Text=
You are correct, there is an accountability problem. In practice it shouldn't matter, because why would they be unwilling to show you the other {{Card|Curse}}? I mean if they won't, they're either cheating or a jerk. In a friendly game, if they won't show you the other Curse, you do not want to be playing with them.

Classic accountability issues like old {{Card|Throne Room}} can be solved in tournaments by asking the judge to confirm that the play is legal. In this case that's just ludicrous; the only information given away by the {{Card|Curse}} is the fact that they're not cheating. Still if that's who you're dealing with, call the judge to confirm.
