Development covered 26 Sep 2026 to 27 Sep 2026 (commit dates).
Myriad Immortal Sect lets you hold three quests at once. The cap exists for good reasons: a quest log with twenty entries is a log nobody reads, and a small cap makes accepting a quest a small decision. It is also one of those rules that looks like a number and behaves like a policy, and this window was about finding out which policy it had actually been enforcing.
The errands that blocked the story
Slots fill when you accept a quest. Each realm's story ends with a closing quest that only opens when you reach the top of that realm. Put those two facts together and a player can arrive at the pinnacle of a realm holding three leftover errands from much earlier, and find the quest that finishes the chapter has nowhere to go.
That is exactly what happened on the itch.io build. A player at Nascent Soul had three Qi Condensation errands in hand, and the quest called "Core Formation Perfected" could not be accepted. The design had always said the main road takes a slot first and is never squeezed out by side quests. The rule in the code was just "three".
From one count to a road
The first fix was a narrow exception: one main-road quest may take a fourth slot while nothing else on the road is in progress. Nothing in your log is ever dropped to make room.
A day later the same squeeze appeared one step earlier. In the fourth batch, the quest before the trial "Guard the Sect" is not itself a trial, so three old errands still blocked the step that leads to it. So the exception widened from "the main quest" to "the road": the batch's unclaimed main quests and their unfinished prerequisites, one at a time. The walkthrough for Guard the Sect shows where that step sits.
Then a third case. "Sword-Flight Trials" unlocks flying, the signature ability of Core Formation, but it is neither mandatory nor a prerequisite of the closing quest. So it was off the road, and a player at Core Formation level 28 sat under "All quest slots are full" with the Soar button locked. Quests that grant a capability now count too. More on that quest is in the Sword-Flight Trials walkthrough.
Lanes, not exceptions
Adding capability quests to the road broke something else. At a realm's pinnacle the batch flips to the next one, so a capability quest from the old batch stopped counting as road, while the next realm's gate took the road slot. That same player ended up holding five quests.
That was the point where a pile of exceptions became a structure. There are now two separate lanes on top of the three ordinary slots. The road lane holds one quest on the current batch's path to its gates, exactly as before. The perk lane holds one capability quest at a time, counted across every batch so far, so it never competes with the realm's gate. Most in progress at once is five, and every one of them is there for a reason the player would agree with.
Order matters as much as count
The map's tracker follows the first quest in your log, so where a newly accepted quest lands decides what the game points you at. A main-road quest now goes to the front. A capability quest goes behind any road quest already in progress and ahead of side errands, so accepting the errand that leads to the alchemy hall does not pull the tracker off a realm gate you are halfway through.
Labels mattered too. The Quest Hall marked trials with a badge and described every unbadged quest as optional. The quest that opens each new batch had no badge, so the hall was calling a required quest optional. It wears the badge now. And a locked must-do that used to read only "LOCKED" now says which quest it opens after.
What I would say about caps
A cap on concurrent anything is a statement about priority, and if you only write down the number, the priority is whatever falls out of acceptance order. Write down which things must never be crowded out, give them their own lane, and let the number apply to everything else. I got there in four steps over two days, each one forced by a real player standing in front of a locked door.
