'''Quests''' are set objectives that provide rewards when completed.  They're kept track of in the quest journal, which can be opened by clicking the exclamation point icon at the bottom of the date/time display in the upper right of the screen, or by using the hotkey F. Quests are listed in the journal by title, and each quest can be expanded to read the text and requirements for completion.  Clicking the X at the top of the window closes the selected quest, and there's a button under the journal window to cancel it.

There are two major types of quests, story quests and Help Wanted quests. Story quests are typically received in the mail, but a few are automatically accepted at the beginning of the game to help teach the player about the game.  Story quests can be completed at any time after receiving them, there is no time limit or expiration date.

Every day the bulletin board outside [[Pierre's General Store]] may have a randomly generated Help Wanted quest that can be completed in exchange for money and sometimes increased [[friendship]] with the quest giver. When a new quest is available, the bulletin board has a yellow exclamation point floating above it. Rewarded money depends on the number of items/monsters involved, the player's [[skills]], and sometimes a bit of randomness. Once a Help Wanted quest is accepted, 2 days are given to complete it, the current day and the next.

If a daytime [[festival]] occurs during the 2-day period, the player may be unable to complete the quest on the festival day, since most shops and homes are "locked".  See the [[Shop Schedules]] page for more information.

During a cutscene that is available starting on [[Fall]] 2, Year 1, regardless of the weather, a special orders board is installed in front of [[Lewis]]'s house. This board has larger orders that would not be normally found on the Help Wanted board. Unlike Help Wanted requests, these orders are automatically filled without speaking to the requestor. Additionally, the special orders cannot be cancelled from the individual player quest listing, and time must be allowed to run out. Unless specified, the resources needed for special orders must be collected after the special order has been accepted. On orders that require the player to place items in a container, resources collected before the quest was accepted may be placed in said container, however, new resources must still be obtained. For example, 24 pre-acquired eggs may be placed in the Saloon fridge, but 24 more eggs must still be harvested afterwards to complete the order.

Special orders have different timeframes, varying from 1 to 28 days. A new special order can be accepted each week, even if another one is still ongoing; multiple special orders can be active at the same time. New special orders become available on Monday and their allotted time starts decreasing as days go by regardless of whether they have been accepted by the player. Hence, if the player starts a special order with a maximum timeframe of 7 days on Wednesday, the time given for completion is only be 5 days. The table below indicates maximum timeframes.

When doing a special order that requires shipping items, the player can ship the remaining items on the final day. The progress bar only tracks items shipped on previous days and this can create the impression that items shipped need to be shipped before the last day, but they do not.
