I started 4 quests September 5. I should have until the 11th to complete 8. It says my 7 days is up in 12 hrs which means I will lose $2.

Hi frostbiteagain,

The 7 day timer for the Claim FarmCash Button turning blue starts the second you last claimed FC. That's the earliest time you can claim the following week assuming that you completed enough quests.

For your Regular quests you last claimed FC on 2023-09-02 at 00:32:30 EST and opened a Quest to Make Men Bracelet that same day at 10:44:33 EST

You can check that for yourself when you last claimed any Farm Cash by clicking on the Account tab above your game screen, then click on the section called Farm Cash Activity Log or you can click on this link while you are logged into the website to get to the same area. Note that dates and times are always shown in EST:

thank you so much for getting back to me. I thought the time started when you did the first step. all this time I've been trying to make sure I don't harvest or make anything until I have 3 or 4 quests lined up.

Hi frostbiteagain,

There is more than one 7 day timer.

When you claim FC, a 7 day timer starts and won't let you claim again until 7 days has passed. That's all that particular 7 day timer is for, it prevents you claiming again in less than 7 days since you last claimed FC.

When you complete the last step on any Quest, each Quest has an individual 7 day timer that starts the second the last step is completed.

A quest will expire when it reaches 7 days old since you completed the last step on it.

So using this example:

• claimed FC Mon 10 am
• first quest completed after Mon 10am was on Wed at 10am

Next Monday 10 am you could claim FC IF you had completed enough Quests.

By not completing the last step on any quests until Wed 10 am that gives you some extra time the following week after Monday 10 am to claim, just in case you are late claiming or need some extra time to complete another quest to get 2 FC.

As you did not complete the last step on any quest until Wed 10 am you will then have given yourself all of the rest of Monday and Tuesday next week to complete another one as the first Quest you completed on Wed 10 am won't expire until the following Wed 10 am.

The days and times in Show Quests, which are on every quest completed, are there to help you know how long ago you completed it. When a time on a Quest in Show Quests gets to 7 days old that Quest no longer counts.... if you have not claimed by then.

It's the LAST step on a Quest that you DON'T want to complete for at least one or even 2 days after claiming FC. It's quite hard to get 8 quests done within 7 days, some Quests take far longer to do than others and you never know which ones you will get.

If you own the Start or Load tools for the facilities you can remove the check mark on a product made or stocked in a facility to prevent that last step from being completed. You just have to remember that you need to know how long that last step will take to complete so that it's done in time for you to collect your FC and before any of your completed quests get to 7 days old. Then you also need to remember to put that check mark back on the product in the facility so you can continue making or loading it after then.

I wish not all timers were by the seconds.

The Train timer is by the minute
I wish the collection of Quest and Co Quests were by the minute

That means the collection of Q or CoQ keeps moving forward so that within a year it can increase by almost 52 minutes or an hour.

I now write down the tenths of a minute so I can better guess when a job will be completed. example 8:43:5

Oh and lakes and ponds timers are even harder for me to estimate when they will be ready to fish.

THANK YOU for such a great game.
