Default Repeat Coop Quests/Rarity of Finding Ingredient

Hello,

For the second time in 5 days, I have gotten the Dried Plums quest (adding them to the snack machine). What makes this annoying is that (by my count) there are exactly 3 coop quests that have plums in their ingredients. THREE.

That makes finding plums nearly impossible to do by the time the quest expires. The first time, I was extremely lucky to find someone in the trading marketplace who had one of the 3 quests last week, but for this go-round, I'm having extreme difficulty, even after trying for hours at a time - going to the hiring marketplace, accessing all of the available coop quests, going to the trading marketplace, accessing all of the available coop quests, going back to the hiring marketplace... wash, rinse, repeat. And with only one help sticky, is it more likely to find plums, or DRIED plums?! Right... So I have to save the help sticky for the dried plums. You see why I'm so frustrated?

I'm guessing there's no limitation on how many times the exact same quest can be assigned to someone, but there should be. Or make sure there are more than THREE quests that use an ingredient.

I love this game, and I love doing coop quests. It's one of my FAVORITE things. But this is frustrating.

-Christi

Hi Christi,
The quests are randomly assigned by the program on the server. There isn't any way for the program to know what quests you have had previously.

If my quests are done at 8 in the evening and I have already gone to bed, can I still claim them tomorrow?

Hi Kofe,
Yes as long as they have not dropped off of the list. They are only good on the list for 7 days exactly to the second.

Not sure I understand. If the seven days to the second are up 8 o'clock and I have gone to bed, can I still claim the farm cash when I get up the next morning?

Hi Kofe,
No as those quests would have expire. That is 7 days from the time the quest is complete. You can see how long they have been completed by clicking on the Show Quests and it will list your completed quests and a time length from the time it was completed.

So I can't claim them exactly to the second so how do I get the start time earlier in the day so I can claim a farm cash on them?

Hi Kofe,
All the information about how the quests work is in the Game Guide chapter 28 about those:
https://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=489690


The start date/time is 7 days exactly after the last time you collected. If you are going to wait until the next morning to collect this time, then the next one will be 7 days later at the same time in the morning as you collect this week.

So if the 7 days are up at 8 exactly. What is the time range available to claim the farm cash? Can it be claimed within a certain number of minutes before or after 8? I have read the info on quests in the forum guide but still trying to understand. I thank you for your patience with my questions.
