Saga

Saga is a group of quests or even story arcs that characters can complete for an additional reward.

When running these quests, you will receive a number of “points” towards your reward based on what difficulty you run quests on. The benefits earned are Experience, Renown, or a Skill tome, based on the total “points value” of the quests you have run. The higher the points total, the better your reward would be.

Awarding points:
 * One point per casual/normal completion
 * Two points per hard completion
 * Three points per elite completion
 * VIP can skip one quest and count it as an elite completion (3 points)
 * Everyone can pay 5 Astral Shards to skip a quest (3 points)
 * You can do the bypasses once per saga.

Depending on the number of you points you have accumulated, you receive your reward. There are four reward levels: normal, hard, elite, and true elite. For a true elite reward, you need to complete all quests on Epic Elite difficulty (maximum points).
