Customizing your Discord profile with Avatar Decorations and Profile Effects usually requires Discord Nitro or purchasing items from the Discord Shop. However, Discord now offers another way to unlock exclusive cosmetics without spending money on Discord Quests.
By simply playing supported games and completing a few easy tasks, you can earn limited-time profile cosmetics, in-game rewards, and other exclusive items.
Here's everything you need to know about Discord Quests and how to start earning free rewards.

Instead of purchasing cosmetics, you complete simple gaming activities to unlock exclusive rewards.
