It'd be cool if there were some phrases that were commonly used in quests. It might be to much to ask though and I'm even sure if there is a common structure in the wording of the quests.
"Some very early quests will have objectives such as: scan a monster, mail a letter, duel another player, open a shop, fight in the arena, or identify an item. The red circle will not appear on your map for quests like these and can be skipped if you can't figure out what to do as the rewards aren't all that amazing."
This is me, :P
Thanks though. I just felt like I might be missing something.

The best way to do those is to just get all of those types of quests and then just go down the list. Most of them will be obvious depending on who you get the quest from and, IIRC, the last one you will get is from the racoon guy telling you to transmute an item. You could also just ignore them all as the rewards aren't anything worthwhile.
