THESE ARE DIFFERENT THAN MISSIONS!!!!!
remember that empty space at the right part of the arcade why not put it to use and put a quest board where you can do optional "mini games" in the clockworks?
example: collect "insert number here" "insert material here" or defeat "insert number here" "insert monster here"
rewards: materials, crowns, energy all that stuff
EDIT: when you complete a mission you can chose to leave the clockworks and collect your reward or just continue with your adventure then collect your reward
I love this idea. As of now, there are not enough objectives to my liking.
