After arriving on Paradise Island, head west of Fairfield to the house on the hill. Speak with Redactor Quesnel to pick up the collectible quest to assemble a complete set of Science Adventures Quarterly (10 total). You can also trigger the quest by picking up any Science Adventures Quarterly issue first and visiting Quesnel afterward.

Turn-in milestones and rewards

  • After 1 magazine: 500 bit cartridges.
  • After 5 magazines total: Pitchball Card: Josephus Fielder (permanent +1% damage) and another 500 bit cartridges.
  • After 10 magazines total: Townie Clothing, 855 XP, and the SA Quarterlies Quantified achievement.

Quest objectives prompt you to return after finding 1, 5, and 10 issues, but you can collect the full set before turning anything in.

Quest flow notes

  • No skills or traits are required to pick up the magazines.
  • Issues are typically in or near small, remote shacks and towers; check porches, beds, desks, and upper floors.
  • If you want a quick early turn-in, the Volume 5 location northeast of the Ministry of Accuracy is close to Quesnel’s house.

Once you hand over all 10 issues to Quesnel, the quest wraps and you’ll walk away with a permanent damage boost, a useful armor set, and a tidy XP payout.
