Quests are set objectives that provide rewards when completed. They're kept track of in the quest journal, which can be brought up 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 will close it and there's a button under the journal window to cancel the selected quest.
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.
Help Wanted Quests
Every day the bulletin board outside Pierre's General Store may have a randomly generated Help Wanted quest that you can complete in exchange for money and sometimes increased friendship with the quest giver. When a new quest is available, the bulletin board will have 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 you have accepted a Help Wanted quest you will have 2 days to complete it, the current day and the next.
If a daytime festival occurs during the 2-day period, you 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.
Achievements
There are 2 Achievements associating with completing Help Wanted Quests.
- Gofer (Complete 10 'Help Wanted' requests)
- A Big Help (Complete 40 'Help Wanted' requests)
Earning these achievements unlocks unique Hats at the Abandoned House in Cindersap Forest. In addition, the day after earning "Gofer", Mayor Lewis will send 
500g in the mail. The day after earning "A Big Help", Mayor Lewis will send 2,500g in the mail.
Types
There are 4 types of Help Wanted quests that can be posted. There is no penalty for accepting a quest and then not completing it.
| Gathering | Clint will ask you collect copper, iron, or gold ores, usually 20-40, or coal for him to inspect, or Robin will ask you to gather wood or stone.
Note that it is not necessary to have the requested items in inventory to complete a gathering quest. Once the required number of items have been gathered (as indicated by the counter in the journal), simply talking to the villager who requested the items is sufficient to complete the quest. |
| Slay Monsters | Requires access to The Mines.
Clint, Lewis, Demetrius, or the Wizard will ask you to slay a random number of a specific monster. Once the required number of monsters have been slain (as indicated by the counter in the journal), talking to the villager who made the request will complete it. |
| Fishing | Demetrius or Willy will ask you to catch from 1-5 of a specific fish from the current season, either to lower the population of that fish or to keep the art of fishing alive.
The reward is the base sell price of the fish × the number of fish requested, and you get to keep the fish. Note that it is not necessary to have the requested fish in inventory to complete a fishing quest. Once the required number of fish have been caught (as indicated by the counter in the journal), talking to the villager who made the request will complete it. |
| Item Delivery | This is the most common type of Help Wanted quest. Any adult villager that the player has met and can earn friendship with will ask for a random item for various reasons.
This item can be:
Villagers will reward the player with three times the item's normal value, which may make Item Delivery quests a more efficient method of earning money from lower value items than shipping them. The player also earns 150 Friendship points with the requesting villager for completing the quest. To complete an Item Delivery quest, it is necessary to hand the item to the requestor. Simply having the item in inventory when talking to the requestor will not complete the quest. Note that completing an Item Delivery quest does not count as giving a gift. Note: Jas, Vincent, Krobus, the Dwarf, and your spouse will never make Delivery requests. Sandy will make Delivery requests once you have access to The Desert. |

During a cutscene that is available starting on Fall 2, Year 1, 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 the requestor. Unlike normal "Help Wanted" requests, the special orders cannot be cancelled from the individual player quest listing, and time must be allowed to run out. Additionally, unless specified, the resources needed for special orders must be collected after the special order has been accepted.
Special orders have different timeframes, varying from 1 to 28 days. The next special order can be accepted a week after its predecessor, whether you have completed it or not -- you can have more than one active at a time. 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.

List of Story Quests
| Warning: Spoilers This page or section contains unmarked spoilers from update 1.6 of Stardew Valley. Players may want to avoid or be cautious toward reading this article/section. |
In addition to quests posted on the "Help Wanted" board, there are several Story Quests unlocked during gameplay. There is no penalty for accepting a Story Quest involving item delivery and then deleting it from your journal without completing it. Story Quests do not count towards the "Gofer" or "A Big Help" Achievements.

List of Quest Items
| Warning: Spoilers This page or section contains unmarked spoilers from update 1.6 of Stardew Valley. Players may want to avoid or be cautious toward reading this article/section. |
Quest Items are items that do not have any use outside of their intended quests, aside from occasional easter eggs.
They cannot be sold. If a quest item is lost, it can be found from the Lost & Found in Mayor Lewis's house.
| Image | Item | Description | Related Quest |

Trivia
- There is an unimplemented quest reward in Data/Mail.xnb indicating Mayor Lewis would send you 10,000g, apparently after completing 100 Help Wanted quests.
- If you decide to purchase Joja Cola instead of Fishing for it, the cost for one can is 75g, exactly the same as the reward the NPC will give you. Therefore, it will net you 0 gold, although it might still be beneficial to do it for friendship points.
Bugs
- Once the Dark Talisman quest appears in the Journal, if you visit Krobus, the quest disappears from the journal. It is not necessary to enter the Mutant Bug Lair, nor to get the talisman itself in order to complete the quest. However, you still must do those things in order to trigger the Goblin Problem quest, enter the Witch's Swamp, and meet the Henchman.
- A divorced spouse may make a "Help Wanted" request. When fulfulling the quest, the spouse will express gratitude before going back to angry/hurt dialogue. Fulfulling a quest for an ex-spouse does not grant any friendship points with the ex-spouse.
History
- 1.3: Added 3 quests related to Secret Notes: A Winter Mystery, Strange Note, and Cryptic Note.
- 1.4: Fixed mail sent for "Aquatic Research" to list the correct reward (1,000g). Fixed bugs with "A Winter Mystery": Can now be triggered when exiting the farm from the bottom tiles, can now be triggered while riding a horse. Removed gathering ore quest exploits (can no longer use existing ore from inventory or chest to fulfill quest). Reaching level 25 of the Skull Cavern on the first visit now satisfies "Qi's Challenge". Fixed help wanted quests to read "three times the market value" instead of "two times".
- 1.5: Added The Pirate's Wife quest. Added Special Orders board.
