The Forsaken World dev team have posted a new blog with information about daily events and quests. Daily events run on a rotating schedule and players can check which daily event is currently active from a UI panel. Standard quests available to players are displayed in another UI panel. Players view a list of available quests, click the one they'd like to begin and autopath to the location necessary to complete it.
Select from the list which quest you'd like to begin, and then auto path to the corresponding NPC that is listed at the bottom of the quest description. You'll run straight to the NPC, where you can then begin the quest. With this system, you should never be confused about where to go or what to do next - because it's all mapped out for you in advance!
