The [[quests]] on themselves don't grant experience on completion, but their steps do. All the quests are divided into steps (internally referenced as "QuestStep") and each step has its own experience reward. The steps are shown in the user interface, inside the quests journal. By clicking on a quest on the left side, the current step in progression and all the completed steps for this quest are listed on the right side. The amount of experience granted by a step is not visible in the user interface until the step is completed. While a quest step might not be required to complete a quest, it still can grant some experience, usually a small amount.

There is actually a 12th category, "BackgroundGoal", but as its name suggests, it is not assigned to completing quests but to succeeding background goals.

For example, in the quest [[Find the Blood of Lathander]] occurring in [[Act One]], one of the quest steps is ''"We learned that a powerful holy relic, the Blood of Lathander, could be somewhere nearby. We should keep an eye out for it as we explore the monastery."''. Its reward category is "ProgressMajor" and its completion triggers inside the [[Rosymorn Monastery]], which is a level 5 area. So completing this quest step grants 30 experience.
