Timed Quests are quests in Xenoblade Chronicles that expire after certain events, such as the migration to Colony 6 and the Mechonis Core event. These quests must be completed before the event. There are 130 Timed Quests, 18 are listed Mutually Exclusive Quests, 9 are Surprise Quests. These quests are designated as timed by which indicates that the quest may expire.
