QUESTS
The Path introduces Quests that will enhance your journey. Quests contain a selection of legacy and future achievements, either earned at events or online. These actions range from attending Defqon.1, taking a leap of faith at the bungee jump, or other ways of contributing to the tribe in a meaningful way. Quests can be completed and with each completion you will earn experience points (XP) that will add to your rank within the tribe.
As you complete Quests, you will rise through the ranks. You can find both your current rank and all current and new Quests in the Q-dance app. Be sure to check it frequently to stay up to date!
EXPERIENCE POINTS
Experience points (XP) serve a measure of your current progression in The Path. By completing Quests you accumulate XP, advancing you through the different ranks within The Path. The more XP you earn, the higher your rank will be.
You can find your total XP underneath your username in the profile section of The Path in the Q-dance app. The XP a Quest gives can be found underneath its throphy in the Q-dance app.
THROPHIES & BADGES
In addition to XP, each Quest also rewards a trophy, symbolizing your accomplishments. There are four types of trophies, ranging from Cardboard to Silver, and Gold to Orange. Each type trophy reflects the difficulty or significance of the Quest that has been completed.
In general the trophies are a measurement for how much XP a Quest will give: E.g. Cardboard Quests offer the least XP, while Orange Quests offer the most.
Badges can be found on the left side of Quests. You can earn a Badge by completing a Quest, after earning it, it will be colored. Badges will be greyed out if a Quest is not earned yet.
Ranks
There are a total of 3 different ranks within The Path:
- Rank 1: Challenger
- Rank 2: Warrior
- Rank 3: Choose your specialisation
You are placed in a rank based on your XP. By completing Quests, you will climb through the 3 different ranks within The Path. You can find your current rank and the amount needed to earn your next rank in the profile section of The Path, next to your rank icon.

Within our united community, this is their moment to ignite an inner fire that will bind them to the Defqon.1 legacy forever.
Rank 2: Warrior
Once your loyalty has been proven to the tribe, you will officially become a Warrior.
As they navigate with confidence and begin to explore the sounds that resonate most with their Warrior spirit, their Path becomes clearer. With every step they take on the Holy Grounds, they are immersed in the strong force of Warriors that surround them, of which they are a part. Each day forward, they strengthen the bond that unites them with our tribe.
Rank 3
The Veterans of the tribe! Their Path adorned with badges of honor, from countless years of devotion.
With every step taken, the memories of past triumphs and glorious moments echo along. Warriors reaching rank 3 find themselves at a pivotal moment on their Path because this is where they get to choose their specialisation.
Choose your way
All Veterans in rank 3 are confronted with a choice that defines their role within the tribe. Though the choices before them all have a certain allure, they can only choose the path that resonates with them most.

Shamans are the ones who discover the hidden gems of both Defqon.1 and the world beyond.
Guardian

With a determined and compassionate heart, these mentors always make decisions with the collective good of the tribe in mind.
