When no quests are found, what then?

I can't find any other quests after Ranik and Grinich Courthouse and the first two towns. What do you do when you dont have any more blue quest marks on npcs? I'm a level 12. Do I just head out in a direction hoping to find something?

If you have finished Fort Ranik, there should be an NPC in Frontier Gate who gives you the next Primary Quest (not sure of his name, though)

Warmaster Riga... I think.

Yup, it's Warmaster Riga in Frontier Gate. He give sthe "Ruins of Surmia" quest which leads to the Ruins of Surmia mission

Do missions. They're the easiest way to get around the map, giving you exp in the process especially since this weekend is triple mission exp weekend.

Yeah, you should always have a primary quest to do.

If regular quests are out, then theres some in the area where you get the next primary quest.

i always try to keep a primary quest at one time just in case.

Ya like alvar said, that always helps. And always grab the very next primary u see.
