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 small icon at the bottom of the UI panel or 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. Quests can be completed at any time after receiving them, there is no time limit or expiration date.
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.
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.
Note: some players have reported that the Help Wanted quests stop regenerating in the later years of gameplay.
Completion of 10 and 40 Help Wanted quests are required for the Gofer and A Big Help achievements respectively.
There are 4 types of quests that can be posted:
| Gathering | Clint will ask you collect ores, usually 20-40, or coal for him to inspect, or Robin will ask you to gather wood or stone. |
| 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. |
| Fishing | Willy will ask you to catch any number of a specific fish from the current season either as a challenge or to lower the population of that fish. |
| Delivery | This is the most common type of Help Wanted quest. Any villager that the player has met and can earn friendship with will ask for a random item for various reasons.
