Arrow Quests


Quests


Quests are goals that can be achieved for working and producing products on your own farm.

These quests are only enabled for users at level 30 or higher.


There is an icon in your yellow toolbox (brown Dice) that will allow you to accept new Quests. Here are the rules:
  • You can only open 1 Quest per day (every 20 hrs)

  • A Quests has to be completed before it expires.

  • Quests are chosen at random.

  • You must complete the final/last step yourself (1st box shown top left of the Quest).

  • You can click on any step that requires a facility to complete it and see what facility is needed for that step. You can do the same thing with things like fish to see which waters you need to fish.

  • You can have several active Quests at the same time depending on your level:
  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

Quests can have many steps. Move your mouse over a step to find out what needs to be done. You must complete each step before starting the next. For example you would need to get the check mark for wheat before you could make flour in the windmill.


Quests Social Lifelines: Lifelines can help you 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.
You can ONLY use ONE Lifeline on one Quest until that Quest is completed or expired before you can request a Lifeline for a different Quest.

Lifelines are assigned at random, you may not always get the one you need.

Make sure you have the correct Quest open before you click on the Lifeline Icon!

To get a Lifeline, click on the lifesaver icon in the top right of the quest window. The Lifeline is selected at random. You will not know which Lifeline you will get until you have clicked on the Lifeline.

There are 3 Lifelines:

- 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.

- 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 (harvested crops, harvested animal products, chopped trees, fish, harvested flowers).
You can NOT buy finished products made in facilities from another farmer.


- 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 Step.
This can help if you can get what you need by being hired to work on a farm or by working a facility to get the products made in that facility.
Examples:

If you needed wheat you can harvest wheat on another farmers farm, BUT you need to remember that you only get 10% of what you harvest so if you need 10x wheat, you need to harvest 100 x wheat on another farmers farm.

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). Remember, you can only have 1 lifeline in use at any given time.


You earn a coin reward 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.
NOT collecting the coins does NOT save the Quest for the next week. The Quest counts as completed when the last step is completed regardless of whether or not you collected the coin reward. Collecting the coins also put that Quest on your Quest chart so you can easily see how many you have already done.

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.

Earn 1 FarmCash IF you have completed at least 3 quests in the last 7 days.

Earn 2 FarmCash IF you have completed at least 8 quests within the last 7 days!!

Once you claim your FarmCash, you'll have to wait at least 7 days to be able to qualify for more FarmCash rewards. 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.

For more information on Quests check out that section in the Game Guide https://r1.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=489690

Common Questions:
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. Your Harvests&Products storage may need to be updated. Reloading the game updates it. 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.

IF you are still stuck on a quest and are not sure what to do you can 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. Please provide your USER ID and what the Quest is to make or load!

Hopefully.
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.

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.

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.

Default 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.
