I want to find Alira's encampment (Act II, Bandit Lords quest), but in the quest description says
(…) Alira can be found to the west of the Forest Encampment through the Gloomwoods. (…)
But I can't see any place called "Gloomwoods" in the map.
So in which part of the western Act II map shall I find her encampment?
I've just found it, finally. Actually, it's not in the warehouses area itself, but in the sewers' last level, right behind the warehouses.
After digging in the Wiki Quest Page's source code, I was able to easily locate the optional quest tag.
Sadly the quests in Act 3 have yet to receive proper documentation on the wiki and I'm not that far in the game to build upon said documentation myself.
So here are the quests that have been flagged as "optional" by the PoE community. It's worth noting that Deal with the Bandits has not been documented as optional, perhaps we have a different definition of side quests. Listed below will be the quests that you don't need to complete in order to move forward in the game in Act 1 & 2.
Here's hoping this will get you to complete every quests in the game ;)

Alira can be found in The Western Forest. If you are having trouble, try roaming around the edges of the map - you should eventually find her encampment.
