How to unlock the Unparalleled Problem Solver achievement in Tales of Arise - Definitive Guide
Most of the sub-quests are simple fetch quests and are marked on the map. 12 of them are also character sub-quests and count towards that achievement as well. The character quests are not any harder than the others, but they do offer more spoken dialogue than usual. The character quests will start showing up shortly after you get to Ulzebek.
You can have 31 completed before starting the second mausoleum dungeon in Shinefall Woods.
Some of the sub-quests ask for enemy drops and isn't always clear where to look. The enemy guide in the pause screen will tell you which drops come from the enemies but I figured I'd put a guide to make it easier to look for materials you need. This isn't all material quests, but the ones that required farming outside of playing normally. I'm still updating as I have a quest that requires enemies I've not found in the DLC yet. If you are having trouble getting some of these drops, trying increasing the difficulty as much as possible. That seems to help.
**Update**
**To make the grind easier** Check the Inns and the merchant there. They will sell some of these materials. I'm not yet sure if you need one of something before they sell it, but it'll help quite a bit to only need one blistering fang or other item you are farming for.
------------------------------------------------------
A Bright Schoolhouse -Autelina Palace 1F- The earth stone drop is pretty rare and drops from Ominous Earthen Mass enemies in Adan Lake and Mausoleum 238 in the same area. It took me about 7 laps between the two areas to get one. You can craft a swift accessory and add the perk for + rare drops, but it does not seem to help a whole lot. While here work on farming Sweeper Apes for another quest. This was the hardest rare drop to find in my game.
Even If I'm Not a Hero -Ulzebek- This quest needs 3 Titanium Vambraces which drop from Sweeper Apes. They are in the Mausoleum 238 and the later zone Shinefall Woods. You will be close to unlocking Shinefall Woods when you get this quest, but you can complete it right away if you have the materials from farming the mausoleum. I had 2/3 from farming for earth stones.
A Nice Spot for Love and Healing -Pelegion Level 2- You need 5 Icicle Fangs that drop from Wild Boars in Shinefall Woods.
Path of the Potter -Ulzekbek- You need 5 Stone Fragments that drop from Golems. They can be found in Iglia Wastes
A Dahnan Concert - Pelegion Level 3- You need 3 Punisher's Vambrace dropped by Murder Apes in Mausoleum 67. You can farm them in the Limestone Cavern: Shallow Layer room and enter/leave the Convection Control Layer Room to respawn them. They spawn in the Keystone dungeon later as well.
Friends Someday -Pelegion Level 1- You need 5 Blistering Fangs that drop from Berserker Boars in Mausoleum 67. This has a really low drop rate. You can farm them in the Limestone Cavern: Shallow Layer and Innermost Area and enter/leave the closest area to respawn them. They spawn in the Keystone dungeon later as well.
On the Brink of Paradise -Pelegion Level 1- King Owl sells the boss fish and you need to raise one rappig at the farm. You get to the King Owl through the Nevira Snowplains next to the campsite.
A New Juice -Viscint- You will need 3 Rappig and 5 horse meat from Pharia Ranch for this quest. This is likely the last sub-quest you will see. Start raising them early to prevent a lot of waiting later on.
You do not need the Gold EX quests for this achievement, but they may be needed to unlock some later sub-quests.

This stupid Blistering Fangs. I am killing the 2 boars since 2 hours and I only got 1 out of 5 Fangs and my characters wear a charm with rare drop +
Edit: You can buy them in the inn as soon as you obtain one of them

Anyone confirm you need any EX quests to unlock regular ones?
Edit: I think yes, there's three ex quests that start in Viscint's inn that blocks you from the regular one in there. I had to do them before it let me do the regular quest, which was my last one

There are a total of 40 sub-quests in the DLC, none of them are missable so you aren't forced to complete any by specific main quest points.
There are exactly 40 total sub-quests in the Beyond the Dawn DLC, so this achievement calls for completing all of them. The full list of the quests and their starting locations are below. If a sub-quest on the list isn't available in the location specified, you'll likely just need to move the story a bit and check again. The list is in the order I found them, not necessarily when I completed them or when they are first available. Some may need to wait to be completed until you get to new areas with the appropriate NPC or monster to get drops from, and some probably could have been picked up earlier if I had backtracked or checked the map list more often. None of them are missable though, so just check the map list when you can for new letter icons.
