# Categories

Quest categories organize quests into groups in the Quest Journal UI.

## Creating a Category Entry

Open the Spark Editor, go to **Quests > Categories** and click **Create New**.

Each category entry defines:

| Field          | Description                                                                             |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Display Name   | Category label shown in the quest journal (e.g., "Main Story", "Side Quests", "Daily"). |
| Category Color | Display color for quests in this category in the journal (default: yellow).             |
| Order          | Display order in the quest journal — lower values appear first (default: 100).          |

## How Categories Are Used

Each quest references a single category through its **Quest Category** field. In the Quest Journal UI, categories organize quests so players can quickly find what they're looking for.

Use the **Order** field to control category sorting. For example, set "Main Story" to order 1, "Side Quests" to order 10, and "Daily" to order 20 so they appear in that sequence.

The **Category Color** is used in the journal UI to visually distinguish quest types — for example, gold for main quests, silver for side quests, blue for daily quests.
