Quests
 

There is an icon in the extended tool bar (Mystery Dice) that will allow you to accept new Quests. Here are the rules:

• You can only accept 1 Quest per day (every 20 hrs) and it has to be completed before it expires.
• The Quests are chosen at random. You must complete the final/last step yourself (1st box shown top left of the Quest). If you do not own the facility required for the final step, you will not be able to complete the quest, you will just have to let the quest expire.
• You can click on any step that requires a facility to complete and determine what facility is needed for that step.
• You can have several active Quests at the same time depending on your level, here is the table:

1. Level 30.....1 Max Active Quests
2. Level 50.....2 Max Active Quests
3. Level 100....3 Max Active Quests
4. Level 150....4 Max Active Quests
5. Level 200....5 Max Active Quests

- A Quest has several steps. Roll your mouse over each Quest Step to find out what needs to be done. You must complete each step before starting the next.

Quests Social Lifelines: Social Lifelines allows you to complete Quest Steps by interacting with friends. When you are stuck in a Quest you may decide to use a Social Lifeline to help you move forward.

https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...saver icon.JPG - Click the lifesaver icon in the top right of the quest window. The type of lifeline given to you is random, so you will not know what it is until you have clicked it. For now there will be 3 different kinds of Social Lifelines:-


https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...t lifeline.jpg - Gifting Lifeline - Allows you to complete Quest Steps by using gifts or ingredients from friends. In this case after you accept the gifts or ingredients you will have to Store them for them to be counted toward your Quest Steps requirements.

Example : If you need an ingredient that can be gifted from the gift page or sent via requesting ingredients from a product in a facility that you own, you can use this lifeline to request the item or exchange a gift for it. Once stored it will count towards your quest.


https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...r Lifeline.jpg - Trading Lifeline - Allows you to complete Quest Steps by trading goods with other farmers in the Market. This will help if you need a basic ingredient that can be bought from another farmer ( e.g. harvested crops, harvested animal products, chopped trees, fish, harvested flowers). You can not buy products made in facilities from another farmer.


https://r1.slashkey.com/images/gameg...e lifeline.jpg - Employee Lifeline - Allows you to complete Quest Steps by working for others in farms or facilities. The product bonuses you get by working for others will count toward your Quest Steps requirements.
This will help if you can gain what you need by being hired to work on a farm or by working a facility to gain the products made in that facility. Example, if the middle part of the quest (not the final step) required a product made in a facility that you do not own yet but a neighbour does, you can work their facility to gain that product for part of your quest.


Lifelines can not be used for the final step of the Quest (1st box shown top left of the Quest). Also, you can only have 1 lifeline in use at any given time.

- You will earn prizes every time you complete a Quest. The Quest will be finished when all its steps are completed. Click the "Collect Coins" button to collect your reward.

The prize in coins will be higher depending on:

a) How fast the Quest was completed
b) The complexity of the Quest (amount of Quest Steps)
c) The level you are on

Earn Farm Cash while completing Quests:
You must collect your coins for each quest completed for them to show on the chart and to open a space for a new quest to be started.
Either earn 1 FarmCash if you have completed at least 3 quests in the last 7 days or earn 2 FarmCash if you have completed at least 8 quests in the last 7 days
Once you get your FarmCash, you'll have to wait at least 7 days to qualify for more FarmCash rewards. In other words, if you play frequently you should be able to win 1 or 2 FarmCash a week.
Please note that quests drop off the chart and are no longer counted exactly 7 days to the second after the last step is completed. If a quest completes at 8:35 AM on a Monday then at 8:35 AM the next Monday it is no longer counted.

FAQs

Q. My quest says i do not have enough of an ingredient to complete a step. My storage shows i have plenty. What do i do?
A. You may have run out of one size of a crop. The data in storage may need to be updated. To do this Exit and reload Farm town. Then try starting the step again.

Q. I have started a step in my facility, but the quest manager shows only 2/10 started?
A. Some quests require you to start more than one batch. Have a look at the step and see how many batches you need to start. If you have more than one of the facility you can start batches in those as well if needed.

Q. I'm getting X025 error when opening the Quest Manager, what can i do?
A. This error tends to clear itself up in up to a few hours, just keep trying every now and then.

IF you are still stuck on a quest and are not sure what to do, post a reply in this thread detailing the quest you are doing and the step you are stuck on and we will do our best to advise you.

Hi Caren,

I would not count on that. Time is not going to freeze as the game will still be running even though some functions you will not be able to do until they restore them in the new version.

Every New Years the numbers for the quests have disappeared even though the quests are still there and counted.

I had 5 quests done with 2 days left and when I signed in today they were gone and no choice of getting farm cash etc. Now I'm suppose to start over and got nothing for all I did ��

December. 31, 2020

Hi CajsLilDevil,
Every New Years the numbers for the quests have disappeared even though the quests are still there and counted. You can continue on at least until the Flash version is removed.

I have two accounts that I have played since 2009 and both are missing the seven quests(blue) to collect tomorrow morning and the brown one tonight(just one account) I am reading your responses Taz how can I collect if they are not showing but you are stating they are still there. Most of all Happy New Year and I know you will receive a **** load more messages over this disappearing quests.

Hi nettie,
Every New Years the numbers for the quests have disappeared even though the quests are still there and counted. You can continue on at least until the Flash version is removed. The numbers will show back up tomorrow sometime. You can still collect today if you need to as well even with 0 showing in chart.

Missing quests for Farm Cash
 

I was due to collect farm cash for my quests this evening, but when I opened the game this evening, (a few hours before midnight) all of my completed quests had been wiped out. Why did that happen and will I get those quests/farm cash back when making the switch to the new platform? confused:

P.S. I was able to load the new version of the game, AFTER I had checked into the original version, but obviously there were no quests in the new version.

Hi svtcobra,
I moved your post to the Help & Support subject thread about quests.
Every New Years the numbers for the quests have disappeared even though the quests are still there and counted.You can still collect when the button turns blue.

Thanks for the quick reply Taz! I forgot all about the old 'new years glitch'. Color me ashamed.
Happy New Year to all of mods. :)

Missing quests
 

Hi, I completed 2 quests today but my count says 0. What's up?

so I am doing a regular quest and need to build a gutter w/downpipe. It starts with I need produce copper ore. So I click on Lifeline. It says I can "procure goods for this quest also by trading with other farmers in the market" .. So what is this about.. seems that the Lifeline only works with regular products per the forum info "This will help if you need a basic ingredient that can be bought from another farmer ( e.g. harvested crops, harvested animal products, chopped trees, fish, harvested flowers). You can not buy products made in facilities from another farmer." So is this just some way to say HAHAHAHA you can't use this lifeline for this quest? So why is it the lifeline it provided?? .. No need for any reply. But I want you to know I think it is another BS point of questing. Sad and confused again over a stupid quest AGAIN! :(

Hi Sundos,
I moved your post to the Help & Support subject thread about quests to answer you.
The lifelines are randomly assigned just as the quests are. They do not know what you need or don't need for the quest.
I am wondering why you are not starting the copper ore from your own mineral mine rather than wanting to get it from someone else?

I was short of time on last quest for 7 days.. but I did start it and got it and collected already. I don't use lifeline unless I don't think I can do it myself first of all. But like I said above, HOW would I get it from someone else. Forum says I cannot get anything but regular products from others in trade/marketplace. So I take it that anything from facilities I am not able to get that way. Copper ore is not a harvested crop, tree, flower, animal or fish right? or is that wrong in forum info? Also saw that trade warehouse is not available for quests. Though I can't figure out how to get anything there unless it is regular products either. So can you explain to me (because I must be ignorant) how would I get it from anyone else by trading in marketplace. -- I said no reply needed. but you replied. So I will try to remember to check back. The only reason I was in forum today is because now for about 28 hours I have received NO GIFTS in my game though I know others have sent them.. so where are they. I did send a "support" thing to facebook. But who know if they got that. I don't. Anyway, still no gifts ..

Hi Sundos,
With the Trading lifeline you can only get basic items from other farmers. It does say specifically that you can not get anything from facilities. The mines are facilities.


For your gift problem, I am sorry we do not know why this happens to some occasionally.


There are a couple of things you can try:

Try this 1st:
If you have not already done so, please try clearing your FT memcache. To do that Click Here A window will open with a list of "unsetting", that is the memcache being cleared. Close that window and FT if you have it open in another window. Then reload and see if My Requests has corrected and is now showing you gifts.

If it does correct the problem but then it comes back again or the clearing did not help, then you've still got stuck gifts in the game activity area so it's up to you to if want to wait a few days and see if the problem corrects itself or you if want to continue trying to correct it yourself. If you want to continue trying you'll need to continue with the following:

Try this if the problem persists: Exchange/accept all gifts and boost any trains in My requests until none are showing up again.

Go back to the games activity area and see if any more are showing up there.

If there are and you recognise which ones you have already accepted, you need to click the x on all of those to get rid of them, including the train boosts. Then see if My Requests starts working again for new gifts.

If you don't know which gifts you've already accepted, the quickest method is to Ignore all of the requests, then see if My Requests corrects. You may not want to do that you might prefer to ignore less than that and see if it corrects. We have no way of telling you which ones may be stuck.

That section of Facebook can only show you up to 100 requests at a time so if clearing the 1st 100 doesn't resolve your problem, you will have to go back to that area more than once to clear more of them out and it's possible that you may end up having to clear all of them out, so it's entirely up top you what you prefer to do.

For speed in case you need it here's' a direct link to the games activity area of Facebook so you don't have to go via the Facebook Games bookmark :
https://www.facebook.com/games/activity


If you continue having problems with gifts please post about it in the gifts thread, so we can keep all of that organized by subject so anyone can find it.

cleared cache, thanks. but it did not help.
thank you for the link to facebook games activity. I thought I had it saved. Looked all over facebook and couldn't find it. Thought they got rid of it with new fb changes that they are always doing. lol.. THANKS! I think I can get it worked out now. Says I have gifts from Thursday still in there but it is working one at a time. And I did save the link :D

Hi Sundos,
The "Games" link is in the top part of left column. You have to click on See More.

I cannot see the quests since new version. Is it one of the items you will fix or will it be gone forever now

Hi Annie,
The quests are not available in the HTML version at the moment. The developers will be adding the missing parts over the next few weeks.

today I was due to collect farm town cash from a quest but as quest now no longer working I have lost it I guess, not happy as i was going to dd it my other farm town cash and buy a factory grrrrrrr

Hi Keith,

I am sorry, but we are all in the same situation at the moment now that flash has gone.

lost quest
 

i was in the middle of 2 Quests yesterday and now they have disappeared also my facilities have disappeared too :mad: when will all this get fixed :confused:

Hi sexcomma,

The game has moved to a new platform. I'm sorry but it's a restricted version so you can't do any Quests in the new version of the game. Everyone is in the same position. The Quest features of the game and the ability to use the facilities be added back when the developers have time to add them.

There is a banner message above your game screen, with link that you can click on to take you to information about the migration and is updated as things change or get added back to the game. That message does also change from time to time to help those that can't load the new version.
If you can't see that message, please load the game from the Facebook bookmark on the left side of Facebook or use the Play Farm Town button at the top of the forum to make sure you are in the same version as everyone else.

You should still be able to see your facilities fine as long as you have them check marked to show in your preferences. You just won't be able to use them to make or stock anything in them yet.

I can't open new quest, because it says it is more than 7 days a go. Open an new one , shut the quest to harvest what I need for the quest, then the old quest dissapear, and again a new quest, harvest again what I need en yes yet another quest.

PS. I use Avast

Same problem
 

I am having the same problem. Also the system has told me that the quest that I completed yesterday will not be counted in my total because it was completed more than ten days ago. Clearly problems. I will stop trying to do quests until this is solved. (Using Chrome).

Hi everyone,

We have let the devs know there are problems with Quests. As soon as we have more information we will update this thread. Thank you for reporting this.

Hi Hayley,

We have let the devs know there are problems with Quests. As soon as we have more information we will update this thread. Thank you for reporting this.

112567893800780 Good morning. I have a problem with my Quests. I disappear as soon as I close the quest box. When I go back the new quest disappear. I also seems to get 3 quests at once and then it disappear again.

USER ID number 1382036373 -- Quests
 

Every time I come back to quests, there are new quests shown. Then if I close that function and reopen it, there are one or two new quests, and the orders and production that I did the first time are not recorded.

-- Three quests seem locked -- they don't recognize "Harvest Eggs" and don't accept orders. (I produced Scottish oat cakes, but when I came back, that did not record -- and I couldn't produce more, because in the factory it showed that I was already producing them.)

-- Every time I reopen the quest function, there are the top three quests, PLUS one or two news ones. So I do the work required for those quests. But when I come back, whatever those quests were are gone and there are one or two new ones. If I repeat the process, the earlier fourth or fifth quests are gone and I get another one or two new ones.

Yes I've had three disappearing quests this morning too. Also a current quest where I have to harvest sunflowers and blueberries won't work. I harvested both crops but they are not registering on my quest tasks.

Questing bug - my quest manager is giving me a new quest every time I open it and the previous quest disappears. Using Chrome 748105278

same as everyone else... will wait for news before doing any more :)

id 681344055
 

when I go to collect the coins for my completed quest it says it has been more than 7 days (has been less than that) so wont count....I refresh the game and doe the same thing I open a new question and the next on down says ready in 1 minute (should be 20 hours before I can open the next one)

Quest errors
 

ID 574081261

Multiple errors in Quests:

1. Collecting on a completed quest I get a message saying the quest was more than 7 days old (which it isn't given quests were only reactivated the other day).
2. Opening a new quest and the option to open another new quest appears immediately (does this multiple times so I can open several new quests sequentially in one session).
3. Any actions completed in quests are negated when FT is re-started. All Quest statuses goes back to where you started from including the completed quest I already collected in point 1 above.
