Discussions about Quests

[ggranmum]

Thank you for the extra FC working quests. The cash from them is great but the FC is a bonus. Thanks.

[psycho_mommi]

i am irritated at the quests in general. in order to claim 2 farm cash, you have to complete 8 quests in 7 days. ok, not too impossible, i have done it consistently since the fc started getting awarded. most of the quests i have had have been fairly simple, and ALL-up to today- have been for facs that i already owned. today's quest required me to load a suit case into the travel service factory. i did not own the travel supply factory ($32 farm cash) or the travel service factory ($30 farm cash). so, in order to keep my stats up, and be able to complete 8 quests in 7 days, i plunked out the $62 farmcash in order to have the 2 facs required to complete the final step of the quest. now, i realize that people have to eat, including the devs. and BEFORE ANYONE SAYS IT, because i am sick of hearing the "pat answer" of "you didn't have to buy those factories", my answer is this-YES, I DID, IN ORDER TO HAVE 8 QUESTS COMPLETED IN 7 DAYS. all i am asking is for a little more thought in these quests. all i am asking is that you listen to your players. its frustrating to get a quests that requires one FC factory that i dont have, but 2?? i just think that's getting a little greedy, is all. and i honestly thought the forum is the place to mention this.

It is your choice to buy the facilities to complete the quest and keep up your string of getting 2 FC. Personally I would buy them because I can do more than just quests with them. The quests are random and not based on what facilities you own or don't own. You may think that is the pat answer, but it is the only one. Maybe they shouldn't have offered the Fc for quests.

I am losing quests because when I get to the final entry, I am told I need more of a certain entry. At the moment, I am working on Barber chair, Quilt and Trial Lens Frame. All ask for something more. Do have to go back to the beginning and start over? I have tried adding more of just the item needed. HELP. With these three quests, I reach 8 for this week. Thanks!!

Are you completing each step before that last one and have the green check in each box? Have you stored the products for those steps? You may not have enough of the items needed in storage if you haven't stored the ones you made.

Why is it quests require you to have facilities you do not have that cost farm cash in order to finish the quest? I am on a quest to create salami and I need some spice to fulfill this quest and I do not have a spice factory, cannot buy the chili powder in the marketplace, and am at the end of the quest with no ability to finish it due to the requirements placed. Several of my friends have run into the same dead end so I guess I will quit trying to do the quests because we cant complete them. If we cant work in someone else's facility to procure the ingredients we need to finish the quest then what is the sense in even trying to do the quests?

The quests are assigned randomly and does not check what facilities you own. You also have 3 possible lifelines that are randomly assigned when you click on the life ring in the upper right corner. One of those lifelines do allow you to work in your neighbors facilities for all except the last step. There is more information on the quests and the lifelines in the Game Guide Chapter 28. Even if you can't complete 1 or 2 quests as long as you can complete at least 3 in a 7 day period you will earn 1 farm cash.

Quests are one of the ways that FT makes money Advertising , quests and people buying cash. You can still have enjoyment and not do any quests. We did not have them for a long long time.

[rodneycs]

What is Ft definition of seven days?> It seems to be 8 calendar days. You can only collect the cash after eight days when two days the same have appeared AT THE BOTTOM. Why is this?

It may show 2 days the same but it is only 7 days exactly before you can collect.
You collected at 12:08 today so 7 days from today at that time you will be able to collect again.

If the quest last step finished on Tuesday and you don't claim the coins until Wednesday then the quest shows on the chart for Tuesday. When the last step was completed.

I've looked thru here a little and can't find my answer.

I collect my FC from quests Friday (tonight). I have 3 quests going right now that I will not finish till Saturday. One of them is ready for me to start the last step. (Which I have not started yet.) When they are finished they will ALL count towards the next 7 days of quests....correct??

Thanks!!!

Yes, if the last step is completed after you accept your FC they will count on next weeks FC qualification.

No. It will only looks back 7 days, so anything older than that is lost.

How are we supposed to load a Factory for a Quest we do not own and do not want to buy. I have too many factories as it is and am not spending any more farm cash to buy any.

Not a fair thing if we can' do Quest using what we own. I have spent lots of real money buying Farm Cash in order to purchase land, buy tools and even factories. I do not want any more factories!

How can I finish a Quest if I do not own the factory it wants me to load an item in????

Lifeline doesn't help with this. All I see is it is for getting goods, but not loading a factory we don't own.

NOT FAIR!!!

Quests are given out randomly and so are the lifelines. It does not check what you own for assigning them.
The lifelines offer various ways to help with your quests including getting items from facilities. More information about quests and lifelines are in the Game Guide chapter 28. Here is a link to that:

[yanafree]

Lifelines can not be used for the final step of the Quest (1st box shown top left of the Quest).

I do not own the factory so I cannot load a product and it is the 1st box shown top left of the Quest so I'm screwed!

Again...not fair for everyone. Many will never be able to acquire farm cash this way.

You are correct. You will not be able to complete that quest, so in 20 hours you can open another quest and try. It only takes 3 in a 7 day period to get 1 farm cash.

[Sandy Mae]

I finally have come around on the quest issue of being able to change a quest. I do not own every facility in the game. I hate numbers so I can only figure out to a rough figure on how much of any thing I need. But now that the quests have started to give money instead of coins for the completion of the quest, it would be nice if I can move on to the next quest that I have the facilities to finish it. Also I am frustrated with the timing involved to do a weeks quests. Today I have 2 quests and one will be finished in about an hour. Also today is the end of my week with quests. It would be nice if I could add today's quest to next weeks as it would help me get the prize easier. The length of the quest and the last hour of the week are very close in time. But I feel I am loosing the quest due to the clock. I hope I said it right. It is worth the thought. Thanks

If your time is almost up and you do not need the quest you are working on to make your goal for the week.....do NOT start the last step of the quest. Wait till you have collected the FC for the week. Then do the last step of the quest. That way that quest will count towards the next week. :)

I won't comment on being able to skip a quest and move on except to say I feel it is unfair to me for you to be able to do that.

[jamieg25]

quests should not demand a farm cash facility if person not already own one

had to let several expire since no way can level up 30 times before quest expires just to buy the building

and going to be no way will spend real world money on a thing not actually own

Yet you think it is "fair" for the company to give out real cash to you?:confused:

[ImajeanB]

This happens in real life too. Just because you don't own a new car is it right for others to buy one? Just enjoy the game with what you can do and not what you can't. I personally think they are very fair to us! It is not a charity game!

[mjsdramma]

GRRRRRR! I can understand that some quests will be for facilities that I don't own. What I don't understand is why we can't carry over finished quests into the next week. I realize, and don't expect to, that some weeks I will only earn 1 FC. But, having played the game for over five years, and spending A LOT of real money, it would be nice to have this changed. Until it does, I will not spend one more real dollar on the game.

The only way to carry quests over to the next week is to not complete the last step until after you have collected you FC for the current week. That is the only way you can carry them over.

[mjsdramma]

I tried that and it didn't work ;0(

[KnightRider]

I tried that and it didn't work ;0(

I do it all of the time, just like this time, I already had my 8 quests so I had 2 quests that I carried over to the next week. Like Taz mentioned as long as you don't start the last step til after you collect you FC it will count on the next week, sometime you might not want to start the last 2 step just in case you use start all and the last step gets started by accident. You might also wait until the next day to start the last step, so if you collect your FC on a Monday don't start the last step if time permits til Tuesday.

[mjsdramma]

Thanks for the advice ;0) I will try again.

[Shantily]

My life is not the greatest financially so i worked extra hours so i could get the cash to buy tools to make loading my facilities faster ... thats the good... the bad part is now every other quest is requiring a fc facility i dont own. coffee/tea shop on one and now i need the flower shop... so out of 3 quests i can only finish one... which i will do but wont start anymore..wish there was another way to earn fc..

[Jean's Farm]

I tried that and it didn't work ;0(


I just did it starting this week. I'm two up on each week now. Just do NOT start the last step until after you collect your FC for the week. In fact, I waited till the next day to start the last step. Make sure you have enough time left on the quest to get it finished. :)

[Docperk]

Oh MAN! you got to be freaking kidding me. I had 7 Quest completed only had 1 that I thought was going to expire on Sunday, so I wasn't worried cause I had 2 that I was working on and was going to finish today so I would have my 8 completed quest. Much to my surprise today they are ALL gone. Not only are the 7 that I already had completed gone but the two that I was working on are gone so today I am starting from scratch. Something is terribly wrong with that.

I hate to tell you this, but you collected 2 farm cash today June 2 7:17 eastern daylight time. That was for 9 quests, so you must have completed them prior to collecting your farm cash. Maybe you thought you were clicking on the collect coins button and clicked on the collect farm cash button instead.

[anstar]

I am working on a "load foil in service facility" quest. I just completed the 'start stainless steel' step and clicked on the box for a new quest. "Load foil in a service facility".
I have two identical quests working at the same time. At least it's a relatively easy one with few steps.

[Docperk]

I did? Lol I must have worked em in my sleep, that would have been just before I went to work. Ok well you have people do some strange things under the influence of Ambien, I guess we can add working Farmtown Quest. :)

[rondao77]

is this the right place we get to talk to the developers of the game farmtown ? for 7 quests in a row now I have quests that I do not have the faciliites for so cant complete the quests feeling very frustrated

[Cicly]

I have 2 issues. I also agree with not being able to get help with finishing the last step in a quest when not having that facility.
I am at level 370 and have only had , at the max at one time, 2 quests. It says in the other topic that at level we will get 5 quests at one time to finish. Why can I not get any more to do? TY

Hi!

You can open a new quest every 20 hours. If you have long quests, then at your level you can have 5 quests opened and in process to be completed at the same time. It doesnt mean that you can open 5 quests at a time.

I am one of the people who is unable to harvest animals and actually all my animals in their facs are temporarily missing. I reported this early today in another thread. I just checked the progress on my Quest for the day, and I see that the apple juice I loaded into the Supermarket service facility is not there. I just reloaded, and the same issue is occurring. I don't know if the two are related (animals and Quest problem) but I thought I would try to get an answer.

I hope this is the right place to post this.........I have a question about the number of quests completed and the number of quests shown complete. I have 5 quests completed but none are shown as such. The grid runs from week to week by day and I guess I need to know when the system will show the quests are completed within the correct time span so I can collect my farm cash. This system is a bit confusing! I also would like to know when I will be able to do 8 quests in a weeks time. I am at the 250 level.

After a quest has completed its last step it shows as completed, but for it to count in the count at the bottom you must collect the coins and delaying collecting the coins doesn't delay when it shows at the bottom. It will show on the day that the last step is completed

Collect your coins for the quest when it it completed and it will show on the grid at the bottom. You need 3 for $1 and 8 for $2. When the last step is completed you can collect coins. To collect FC it will turn from black to blue when you can collect.

If you have the 3 you need for the week to get your $1......any quests you start after that do NOT do/start the last step until you have collected your FC. (As long as your time to do the quest will not run out. If it will run out before collect day you need to do it to collect the coins.)

Then after you collect the FC for the week you will have 2-3 quests ahead for the next week. If you have 2 and 7 days to finish another 6 quests....that makes 8-9 and you will get 2 FC.

Hope you understand what I explained. :)

Loving the quests, am learning how to make the most of them, it's a real challenge. My only dream is to have a little box pop up when I click on the lifeline lifesaver that asks "Use me or save me" and have option to save 1. (If I haven't used the one I already saved it would say, "Sorry, you can only save one lifeline at a time.") Happy farming!!!

When a quest is opened you can use it on this quest or save it for the next quest. Only one lifeline can be active at a time.

Hang on!!! I just reread what you said - if I get a facilities only quest (like a water valve) but my lifeline is for trading, if I don't use it it'll be there for the next quest? Did I just learn something wonderful???

Once you click on the lifeline it is set for that quest, the only way you can save it for the next quest is not to open up that lifeline. So if you have a quest for a water valve you have 2 options. 1) is to open up your lifeline and hope you get the employee lifeline (as long as it isn't the last step) or 2) Don't open the lifeline and save it for the next quest. I mainly only use the lifeline is for the basic items like crops, trees.

Love the FC for quests. It is Monday apx 8:00 pm Central and I just collected my latest 2 FC yesterday (Sunday) at 3:15 am Central and tomorrow only 2 days after collecting my fc I will be ending 4 quests that I have been holding for this week and I have 1 quest already that I will be holding til next week, it is a 9 day quest and I haven't even started it yet, this way then I don't accidentally end it too early.

[jim v]

I would like someone to explain to me what procure means. I opened a lifeline and it said I could procure goods for the quest or use gift from friends. I went to the market and paid for (procured) plums but I am not able to use them for the quest.

Procure means to obtain something. Since it mentiions use gifts I would say that you have the gift lifeline and the icon looks like a present. For this life line you can either get a gifts from friends or use the ingredient requests.

Obtain means "get" or "receive" or "collect." We know a lot of farmers speak English as a second language. (My 2nd language is Bad English.) :D

The easiest way I can explain what happened is for you to go to the Help and Support section of the forums.....then in there go to "OFFICAL: Quests". Find page 89 and read posts numbered 889, 890, 891, 895, and 896. It happened to me and a friend and these are the posts and explanation of what happened to your 8th quest.

Sorry I can't do the link thing. :)

[Tygered]

This is the most ridiculous quest ever. Not only do you have to grow and harvest a bunch of crops that take up to a day and half (with irrigation), but you have to produce champagne barrel which takes 40 hours minimum. Then you have to make champagne bottle which takes another 22 hours or more. Then it takes 6 hours to prepare the meal and another 6 hours to load the meal into the airline terminal.

Basically this quest is about 1 week to complete, even getting up in the middle of the night to move to the next step. I started this quest on Tuesday and it will be finished about 2pm today.

This is not sour grapes, but it sure makes it pretty much impossible to get 2 FC for completing 8 quests in one 7 day period. I would like to suggest that someone look at the times on these quests and see if they are reasonable or not. I mean, nobody takes 6 hours just to load a meal into a store.

What I would have done if I had gotten that quest, I would have planned that quest to go on next weeks quests. If a quest was over 7 days before expiring I would hold it if possible to the next week that is how I usually had 3 or more quests that I was holding til the next week and every week I received my 2 FC, there was a couple of times that I had to go an extra day to collect, then again I usually didn't complete a quest until 1 or 2 days after collecting my FC this way if I needed to go an extra day to collect no quests dropped off.

I Do Wish That More then 1 quest could be unlocked in a day. Got 2 that will be done today and gotta wait til tommorrow for another one.

I have a bit of a gripe about quests, particularly since the FC rewards came in. Firstly I must say that I am prepared to spend real money on the game within reason, but I don't like being coerced into buying FC factories that I really don't want. OK, so this week I have a quest to make a pinata. This requires a confectionery factory (I don't have it), plus the party supplies factory and the party shop (I don't have either of these two either). That's 3 FC factories for one quest - really??? I pulled a lifeline - it's for gifting, so no use. OK today I pull another one and it needs the Latin American restaurant - I don't have that either....
Now I have quite a few FC factories, if I want one I will get it, no problem, but I'd like to buy the ones I've chosen.
Maybe the devs could make some changes to the way this works, I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere on here that quests would be geared to the factories already owned.
Also, could we please delete the ones we can't complete, they clutter up everything.
I would love to hear anyone else's views/experiences.

Hi, they are all random, and they never said that the Quests would be geared towards your facilities, I am sorry you had this bad luck on that one Quest. I do also think that we should be able to delete the ones we can't complete for whatever reasons. Happy Farming :)I have a bit of a gripe about quests, particularly since the FC rewards came in.

This is the most ridiculous quest ever. Not only do you have to grow and harvest a bunch of crops that take up to a day and half (with irrigation), but you have to produce champagne barrel which takes 40 hours minimum. Then you have to make champagne bottle which takes another 22 hours or more. Then it takes 6 hours to prepare the meal and another 6 hours to load the meal into the airline terminal.

Basically this quest is about 1 week to complete, even getting up in the middle of the night to move to the next step. I started this quest on Tuesday and it will be finished about 2pm today.

This is not sour grapes, but it sure makes it pretty much impossible to get 2 FC for completing 8 quests in one 7 day period. I would like to suggest that someone look at the times on these quests and see if they are reasonable or not. I mean, nobody takes 6 hours just to load a meal into a store.

do you ever use the lifelines? there are 3 of them and all of very usefull in most quests. if you get the employee lifeline you can ask a neighbor if they have a particular crop you need that you can harvest for them. if you get the trade lifeline you can ask a neighbor to sell you the minimum amount of what particular crops you need. and lastly if you get the gift life line you can find a product that uses the item you need for your quest and post on your wall asking people to send it to you.

Now that at least takes care of the crops and a few other things. I do understand that some quests do take longer than others but using these suggestions definitely speed the quests up.

You have not read on here that quests would ever be geared to the facilities you own unless you read it in the suggestions. The quests and the lifelines are and have always been totally random. The quests are all taken from all the possibilities of production chains and you just happen to get a couple long ones that require a number of facilities.

[heartnrose]

I used to like the way the quests were set up, now there is a quest icon that covers up the bonus, so employees can no longer collect the bonus. Is there anyway to get the quest off...I don't do them anyway and really don't need it.

[Deluxxe]

I AGREE, THE QUEST ARE A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME FOR ME AND I HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN THEM.:mad:

[Chattin]

Yesh, I just ran into that... if you look to the right of the grey QUEST icon, you'll see the number of coins... just click on that and you'll still get the bonus.

It will get fixed I'm sure, but in the meantime there is a workaround.

I just started with this quest thing, and fill like a RAPE Victim. It sucks you in, gets you started, then Manipulates things until the only way you can proceed is get out your credit card. You have to buy this and that with coins, then when you get near completion of a quest, you have to buy something thats alway a few more Farm Dollars than you have. Choice, Stop and let the quest expire, or get out your credit card. Not me!:mad:

Before you even start with the first step you can see what facilities you need and if you don't have them then you don't have to do any of the steps, there is no manipulation, either you have the facilities and do the quests, want to purchase facilities of you own free will or you let the quest expire. Plus there are lifelines (chosen at random) that can be used as long as it isn't the last step of the quest. Quests are optional and not needed to be completed to play FT, plus the less facilities you have the better chance is that you will get one that you can't complete.

[Sesselwill]

I started a quest on Thursday, finished it today, Monday, and collected the coins for it today. When I look at when the quest was completed, it is listed under Sunday, why is that? Shouldn't it be listed as completed on Monday? I'm just afraid that it will mess me up for collecting cash, maybe not, but you never know. Thanks.

Being on Sunday or Monday won't effect your collection as your last collection was Thursday so next one would be next Thursday. What time zone are you in?

The Last Step is consider 'finished' when the green tick is there. So if you finished your Quest Sunday, but don't collect your coins till the Monday, it will be listed as a Sunday not Monday. For Example: If you start your last step on a Sunday at 6pm, and it finishes at 11pm but you don't collect your till the Monday 9am say, your finished quest will be loaded into the Sunday coz you finished at 11pm.

[Taz D]

When a certain crop is needed for a quest---do you get credit for it if you harvest it from a friends farm or does it have to be on your own farm?
Just to add to what ImajeanB said, you must harvest on your own farm yourself unless you have the the employee lifeline. Then when you harvest on their farm you must harvest 10 times what you need, because you only get 10% of the crop when working for others. So if you need 10 then you have to harvest 100. You cannot have someone harvest your crops on your own farm to count for a quest at all. There is more information in the Game Guide on the quests and lifelines and how each works:

[Taz D]

Where and how do I get the employee lifeline?
In the upper right corner of your quest is a lifering. Click on that to get your lifeline. However, the lifelines like the quests are random, so you could end up with the employee, gift or trader lifeline. If you will read the chapter in the Game Guide that I posted a link to, then it has all the information on quests.

As stated in my original question, I finished it the same day that I collected, I loaded the last step, it completed and then I collected. That's why I wondered why it was under Sunday and not Monday.

There was a glitch where that was happening as they were trying to fix it so the chart would show in your local time instead of eastern time. That has since been fixed, though it may not change the one you had show up on Sunday instead of Monday. Since that one is in the middle of your week for FC it should not effect you.

[kejarvis@sbcglobal.net]

I am frustrated with the quests. It seems to pick items that you have just harvested or facilities that you do not have. Then you are stuck waiting for it to expire and also the time in between the quest is very long making it almost impossible to get to the farm cash even if you are working every day. The other issue is that several times I have had 6 or 7 quests complete (time not expired) yet when I go in, I find I have been set back by one or two quests. That is just not acceptable. On suggestion I have though is that we should be able to cancel out a quest if we do not have the facility to complete it. If you begin and do not realize that you do not have the facility until you start, then it also ties up your lifeline for the entire time you are waiting for that quest to age off.

I moved your post to the thread for feedback on quests.
The quests are chosen randomly and not picked using any criteria.
All quests drop off the chart exactly 7 days after the last step is completed. The expiration time you are talking about having not expired is the time you have to complete the quest.
When you open a new quest if you hover your mouse over the last step it will show you what facility is needed for that. So if you don't have it and don't plan to buy it then you won't need to get the life line for that quest.

[rticen]

Is there a set order for the quest? Do we all work on the same quest at the same time? Is there a list of the quest anywhere/

[Taz D]

Is there a set order for the quest? Do we all work on the same quest at the same time? Is there a list of the quest anywhere/
No, there isn't a set order as they are assigned randomly. A Random number generator generates a number and that number corresponds to a quest that you are assigned.
No, each individual who accepts a quest gets their own quest assigned. We are not all working on the same one at the same time.
The quests are any chain of production from the facilities and services. There isn't any list anywhere that we can see.

[canadian nancy]

My only major peeve about the quests is that now we are getting FC which I love. BUT we need a timer to let us know how long it will be until we can claim it, so we don't lose out. Since the FC thing started I have had quests dropped 3 times because I wasn't checking constantly. As far as I am concerned we should have a few hours leeway. But at the least it should tell us how long we have left.

That is why it is a good idea to write down when you collect as your next available collection will be exactly 7 days later. We also suggest you not complete the last step of any quest you are going to hold over until the next day to give yourself a buffer.

I have gotten the x025 error in my quest box. Did everything that was suggested to do. Restarted the entire computer and yet it is still there. I haven't gotten any other problems, Adobe is up to date (except I CANNOT work the massive farms, screws me up every time). Please advise as to what is the Next step. I am unable to work my quest, of course and will miss my farm cash because of this.

[WyoSugar]

When I close the quest box, it is not closing. Now it is just a "blank" quest box and I have to refresh every time to get it closed. This used to happen once in a while but now it is every time. It's not a big problem, just irritating.

If you are getting the X025 error for the quest manager, the only thing you can do is to wait a couple hours and try again, it usually will clear up itself after a few hours.:)

Taz, if you don't finish all the quests and they run into the next week before finishing, will they count in the new week's tally? I tried this and I thought they would and was satisfied that at the end of that week, I got to 8 quests.. but when it came to cashing them in, it only recognised 7 instead of 8! Not amused was I lol. I think its a big task to finish them, especially when the last one on the last day consists of producing oil, then off to the oil refinery to produce a petrochemical barrel.. then off to the petrochemical plant to get either plastics or nylon reel when all those things take 15 hours.. geeze I need sleep sometime! We get 1 FC for 3 quests then have to do 5 for an extra 1 FC.. I would've thought 7 was more appropriate and have at least a better chance of completing it. Im at the point I cant be bothered doing so much work and end up with 1FC. Not much of an incentive to be honest. I guess that's why Im playing less and less these days.

[sylvie48uk]

I just have to say something else, this 2FC for 8 quests is the biggest cheat ever. Last week I claimed only 1FC because 3 quests weren't completed - these were completed the next day. That should be day 1, 3 completed quests showing for Wednesday. OK so yesterday I had 8 quests completed on day 7, but no, it kept telling me that 7 days hadn't elapsed - which they most certainly had. OK, fair enough, it could be a time zone thing so today I log in because I should still have 8 quests and it's Wednesday - Tuesday the previous week had showed as nil so that should be OK. But NO, I log in and find that I have 7 completed quests. OK so I completed another by 2 hours later and lo and behold I only have SIX completed quests????? What's up with that????? If the devs don't want to give 2FC legitimately them please don't offer it, you're looking like cheapskates! I spend enough real cash in this game to expect a little better......

The quests are timed to precision. A Quest will "drop off" at the exact time that it was completed the previous week. So, if you collected your farm cash at 10am, last Sunday and then completed a Quest at 10.15 am, then the quest would "drop off" at 10.15 am , the following Sunday. This would mean that if you were a little late, claiming your farm cash, then you would've lost that quest. With regards to the time taken on your final quest, then you could always use a lifeline to speed that quest along. With the employee or gift lifeline, you could complete the majority of steps, in a very short time. :)

Avoid completing any quests on day one, and this will give you "breathing space" the following week and would avoid losing any quests, when it comes to claiming your farm cash.

Well maybe they are Seraphina, but even so I had 8 yesterday and 3 of those were left from the previous week - it's an unfair practice and if we aren't allowed to carry them over within a day's timeframe then it's nonsense. Good grief, if we were offered 5FC for completing 8 I could understand it but 2????

Im not sure you understood what my thread was about.. I do realise there are life lines but no amount of lifelines are going to get my oil and petrochemical barrels and nylon or plastics done in under 15 hours

[Taz D]

Im not sure you understood what my thread was about.. I do realise there are life lines but no amount of lifelines are going to get my oil and petrochemical barrels and nylon or plastics done in under 15 hours
The life lines would not help with getting the crude oil but would have helped with the rest of those. 2 out of 3 lifelines could have helped with those.
The point you have to remember on these quests is quests only stay on the chart for 7 days exactly to the second after the last step has been completed. So if you have one that you can't complete before collecting your FC then wait at least a day after collecting to start the last step. That will give you a buffer in case you are going to be late collecting your FC the next time.
When you click the button to collect your FC the program looks back exactly 7 days to get your total quests. Any quests older than that even if they are on the same day are not counted.

[cottom]

No one is forcing you to do the quests. Just pretend they don't exist and don't do them. :)

It is still a "relaxing, time-wasting past time". I don't find the quests stressful at all. If I get 1FC that's more than I had before.....If I get 2FC great.....but I'm not pushing to get them. I check my quests in the morning for my new one and then maybe once in the evening. What is so stressful about that??

I agree - it's not at all like the other games that you have to keep posting for help. Either you have the facilities to do the quest or you let it expire. If I get 1 FC - I'm that much further ahead. Yes, I do try to get the 2 FC but I don't always get it and I'm not stressed about it.
Just ignore the quests, they aren't required and it may not be worth buying a facility to do a quest either but that's your choice.

It relaxes me and like said, it is a personal option. Just don't do them if you don't like them. I don't do the mini games but I don't mind them being available for those who does. If I get 2 dollars great, if I get 1 great, if I don't get any, well so be it! I just like doing them.

[knolan]

I am so frustrated over this issue of the quests that are eliminated and not saved until we are able to use them. Why was it set up so that you have to have 8 done within 7 days? The timing is never right so that I can collect the farmcash before the quests are eliminated the next day. I wish this system would change. I would like to see the quests held until we do have enough, if I get 5 completed in 1 day, by the time I can get enough to turn in, the 7 days have run out & I lose all those quests!!! UGHHHH...UGH..UGH..AHWAWH.. OK, my question is> Are they thinking about changing these requirements to obtain 2 farmcash? The company really does not 'lose' money from those people who would love to earn them without paying real cash. Those people want to enjoy the game too, except that, they feel they are left out in the cold, because they are not able to fulfill the requirements for the quests within the time frame, because they don't have all the facilities, or all of the items to produce. They are not given a fair opportunity to play the game without feeling the frustration that this game is designed for those who pay real monies. The game is not designed so the beginners can earn enough farmcash to even catch up, nonetheless even to survive with the few they're allowed to earn.

I am so frustrated over this issue of the quests that are eliminated and not saved until we are able to use them. Why was it set up so that you have to have 8 done within 7 days? The timing is never right so that I can collect the farmcash before the quests are eliminated the next day. I wish this system would change.

I moved your post to the Feedback thread about quests. Even though you have asked a question it is not one that requires help as I am sure you know what the answer is going to be. Only the developers know what they are planning or not planning and they do not tell us anything before hand.
The rules are simple and straight forward. In order to get 2 farm cash you must complete 8 quests in the past 7 days period. The quests are placed on the chart at the time the last step is completed and are good for 7 days exactly.
So if you are going to have quests that you can't finish before your collection time then delay 1 day before you start the last step. That way you have a buffer of time if you are not able to collect right at the moment the button turns blue.

I just have to say this and I'm sure it's on a lot of peoples minds.

This is the developers game that they let us play. They need to earn money to pay the people who develop this game. They do not work for free. So where does the money come from??? People who play the game and spend money on it. They graciously let people play the game without spending any money on it.

I think it is very big of them to give us FC when we first start out and level up. No other game I play does that for leveling up. They have given us FC when they give us new levels. 25 a pop if you are already at the new level. I also think it is very nice of them to give us another opportunity to earn FC via the quests.

I don't feel frustrated when my quest drops off before I collect and only get 1 instead of 2.

Why should the beginners get a lot we never got when we began just to "catch up"? This is a concept that I encountered while working. People doing the same job should be making the same amount of money. Why should you, who were just hired, make the same amount as myself when I have been working her for 13 years?????

The point is they DO NOT have to give us FC at all!!

I am on a very fixed income. I choose to use my "allowance" by spending it on this game occasionally. Spending $40 occasionally is no big deal to me. I would spend that on an evening out doing dinner and a movie. And get what 4-5 hours of enjoyment for my $40. I spend $40 on here and days and days, months and months and years and years of enjoyment for my money.

We played this game for a long time without all the bells and whistles we now have. I have friends (who were good neighbors and loved the game) who no longer play. Once we hit the highest level they bought their mansion and stopped playing. I had one friend who bought her mansion.....sold everything else she had bought....left her mansion sitting in the middle of her farm and quit playing.

So if you like the game play it.....if it frustrates you no end and upsets you so much.....stop playing....block the app....turn around and walk away and never look back. I did that with Farmville years ago and have never regretted my decision. :)

I can't figure out 'why' everyone thinks the quests should be made 'easier'! A quest should pose problems or lest it be a journey! Make it easy for me, you cry! The rules most want to eliminate make it impossible to 'not' be able to finish, (unless you fell asleep and it expired) LOL
Let the devs work on more important stuff like bug fixes and something NEW besides MORE facilities, or just change the name to FACILITIVILLE! I liked it best about the time farms 2-4 became available.

I finished 8 quests in 7 days and now a new quest is ready to start, but every since I finished the 8th quest and try to collect the FC, it says 7 days has not passed yet?? I don't want to start the new quest until I know what is going on. I'm afraid it will start a new week... can you please help me?

The 7 days is exactly 7 days to the second from the time you collected your last FC. What starts a new week is when you collect your FC, not starting a quest. You can start the new quest when ever you want.

[xtacy48]

So I basically just lost not only 2 FC but I don't even get one? lol :p

[KnightRider]

So I basically just lost not only 2 FC but I don't even get one? lol :p

No, if the collect FC button is black that just means you just have to wait until your 7 days is up to be able to collect your FC. For example if you collected your last FC last Saturday at noon, then the 7 days would be up today at noon and you would then be able to collect your FC.

When did you collect your last FC?

[xtacy48]

Last Saturday, but I already started a new quest, is that going to matter?

[Grammy 11]

QUEST: a long or arduous search for something.

Get over it!!!

[KnightRider]

Last Saturday, but I already started a new quest, is that going to matter?

You should then be able to collect your FC sometime today if you collect your last FC last Saturday, you will have to keep an eye on it during the day to see when you can collect unless you can remember what time it was last Saturday you collected.

When you start quests doesn't matter about collecting your FC. What it does as soon as you click on the quest icon it looks back 7 days from the moment you click on it and checks to see how many quests you have completed. Let's say that you clicked on the quest icon at noon today, it would look back 7 days which would be back to last Saturday and count how many quests have been completed, plus it also checks to see if it has been exactly 7 days since you collected your last FC. If not, then the button stays black, but if it has been at least 7 days then it turns the button blue.

I worked quite hard to complete 8 quests this week. This morning when 8 showed, it wouldn't allow me to collect my FC. This evening, 2 fell off and I was only able to collect 1 FC. A better system is needed to give us proper timing on the quests. Thank you.

[JimnNila143]

I am not sure is the developers would be willing to do this but if it were possible for a player to be able to use another player's/neighbor's facility to complete a quest when he or she doesn't have a particular facility yet, that would help a lot. Many Farm Town players don't play the game using the ATM Cards. I don't, I use game money. Period. Would appreciate a response please.

You can use a neighbor's facilities by working them for the items you need, if you get the employee lifeline and it is not the last step of the quest that you need to complete.If you need information on the life lines and what each does for you then read the Game Guide chapter on Quests.

It is 8 completed in the last 7 days no matter when they where started. What you can do is save the last step of the quest till you have 3, 4, or 5 quest open then finish the last step and that gives you a buffer to work with. That way you could get 2 fc every 8 days without having to worry about getting in there and starting a new quest right at the 20 hour mark. Just make sure you have a life line to open on that 8th quest so you don't spend a day or so doing a more involved one.

further on what Jas just said.

this "week" i've had 2 quests with end facilities i don't own so can't do at all. but no worries. after i last got my FC reward, i collected up 5 quests before starting them or even caring what they were aside from WRITING DOWN THE EXACT TIME I GOT EACH QUEST.

yesterday my Claim FarmCash button turned blue and i only have 6 quests done but it's ok as my quest summary looks like this:

Sun(0) Mon(0) Tue(0) Wed(0) Thu(1) Fri(0) Sat(2) Sun(3)

so i've got 3 more days to get another 2 quests i can do.

my quest farm already has 3 and 4 day crops all ready for me and tomorrow i'll seed everything to make sure it's ready if i need it as this week it's going to be close.

i have irrigation with waste extend so maintaining a quest farm is easier but i did quests on my daughter's farm for 7 weeks to see how difficult it was with no FC facilities or tools (except the oil refinery) and it was tricky at times but definitely doable. i ended up getting 1 FC 3 times and 2 FC 4 times.

i might add that this is a basically a gift and a nice gift at that. thx devs :)

Last Monday I finished two quest and one each day after so on Sunday I had a total of 8 When I checked this morning (Monday) I still had 8 quest completed now when it is time to collect farm cash it only shows 7 completed (I have not finished the one for today) Doing the quest is a way for me to get things that take farm cash cause I can not afford to buy farm cash to get everything you need to play this game (I do enjoy farmtown ) but it is frustrating to complete 8 quest and then when you collect it shows only 7 I just went back to my farm and now it is showing that I only have 6 completed Can you tell me why this is happening?

Hi Bbb-3. Quests go on the chart when you collect the coins, but are place on there showing at the time the last step was completed. Quests are only good on the chart for exactly 7 days to the second. And when you click to collect your farm cash then the program only looks back 7 days exactly for your total. So if you collected last week on Monday at 9:00 AM, then completed a quest last step at 9:30 AM and another at 10:30 AM, then waited until 10:31 AM this Monday to coleect farm cash again, those 2 quests would no longer count.

[Bbb-3]

wouldn't it be less confusing if after you collect farm cash that the time would start either when you open that first quest or completed that first quest till the same time the following week ( lets say you start at 9am on a tue and it should end on the following tue at 9am) then any quest you have completed in that time frame would count

If you want to think of it that way then you can, but it would need to be the completetion time. If you wrote that down and then didn't collect until just before 7 days was finished for that then you wouldn't lose any quests. Nothing says you have to collect as soon as the button turns blue. It will stay blue as long as at least 3 quests are completed. However, it will only look back exactly 7 days to the minute when you do collect.

I think that they need to change the requirements to receive the farmcash, based on the demand to earn farmcash, and based on the astronomical increase in items to purchase with FC. There should be no time frame to earn the farmcash, when a person completes 8 quests, they should receive 2 FC, regardless of how long it takes them. That's fair because not everyone has every facility that the quest requires to complete the job. There is always a need for other ways to earn farmcash, & right now, this is just about the only way to earn while playing.

question i have a quest to produce yellowtail sushi in a facility,i do not own a big sea coast,can i be hired to fish someone elses big sea coast to fulfill part of the quest,or do i 1. need the big sea coast or 2. do i need a life line to do that,neither one of which are currently available to me,just thought i'd ask.

Hi Boduke,
To use anything from another's farm you have to have the employee lifeline. The lifelines are assigned randomly the same as the quests are. You can find all about lifelines and quests in the Game Guide chapter on Quests. Here is a link to that:
http://www.slashkey.com/forum/showthread.php?t=489690

[boduke66]

since i have no life lines left,looks like ill have to let this quest expire,thanks for the quick reply.

[KnightRider]

Hello boduke,

To add to what Taz mentioned, how long do you have til the quest you have that is using the lifeline will expire, since you said you don't have a lifeline and how long til the quest with the yellowtail expire? If the quest with the active lifeline expires and you still have time before the yellowtail quest expires you can use the lifeline for that quest.

[boduke66]

the quest with the lifeline on it is 2.5 days,the Yellowtail quest is 3.2 days,does this still mean i have purchase the big seacoast in order to complete the quest,which by the way i have the facility for the final step which is the sushi Restaurant.

It means you would have .7 days to get a lifeline for that quest. Any of the lifelines would work for getting the fish, so you could do have enough time to complete it with a lifeline. However, if it was me I would get the seacoast since you already have the facility to use a lot of the fish and will be able to make more coins even after the quest is completed. But that is just my way of looking at it. You have to make your own decision which way you are going to go.

[rodneycs]

Isee no reason to have the quest logo on the main page when it is in the facility manager> It is a confounded nuisance. you accidently click on it while sowing and it goes to the blank page and you lose the whole layer while planting.. extremely unhappy about this.

I get so many blank pages from the quests as also the facility manager after doing one farm and then the whole page has to be refreshed. I know others aer also un happy about this.:mad:

[dnana]

I just want to say that I appreciate having the quest box on the main page. I started playing quests when they made this change and I have had no problem hitting it while I'm working, either my own farms or for others. I don't feel the need to go so fast thru my work that I accidently hit it, it's very easy to avoid, and it has kept me on track to get 2FC every week that I have played, its a great reminder!! I think giving folks who don't want it the option of turning it off would be nice, but please don't take it away from the rest of us!! :)

[Pattipo]

I have to say this error message X025 is a problem.... my time is running out on what should have been a quick Quest and it has been about 2 hours since I started getting it.

[Ally-Kat]

:mad: This is something that I know I have mentioned more than once, and it would be beyond surprising if no one else has!

Would you PLEASE move that Quest icon from our top left screen??? When you have to scroll to get to another area of the farm to work, that icon is very easily clicked by mistake! I have also often hit the Fuel icon accidentally, even the coin and Farm Cash info. But they do not remain open and lock the game!!

The Quest icon has REPEATEDLY caused me to have to quit a job I was hired for, thus losing coins, xp and bonus coins/xp when not hired by a neighbour. What harm is it in having this icon somewhere else, if freezing you out of the game cannot or will not be fixed??

It is really frustrating that nothing has been done about this, nor is it even considered a problem you are working on.

Hi Ally-Kat,
I moved your post to the General Feedback thread for Feedback on Quests. Since your post is not asking for help or a problem that we can answer in the Help & Support by the moderators or helper. There have been posts here on both sides of the issue, so you are not the only one who has posted about it, but the feedback is the place to voice that rather than in Help and Support. You can also make a suggestion in the Suggestions section about this as well.

[cottom]

:eek: Please tell me it isn't so..The one reason I love FT is NO quests and begging for stuff..I hope they aren't going to start quests as it will ruin a great fun game..

A few days more and I may not have to set here in my chair and put up with quests. I'm having surgery tomorrow to repair my legs and give me mobility. In the meantime I will grudgingly tolerate QUESTS. I don't like them! They are waste of my time, and they don't produce the profits one would expect for the level of computer work required. I suggest QUESTS be TERMINATED!

I still strongly suggest a way to generate more Farm Dollars. How about SELLING bundles of Farm Cash? Say a bundle of 25 Dollars for a million coins?

[cottom]

If you look in the toolbox there is already an Icon for Quests. This would strongly imply that a farmer must CHOOSE to open the Quests and participate.

or not

A few days more and I may not have to set here in my chair and put up with quests. I'm having surgery tomorrow to repair my legs and give me mobility. In the meantime I will grudgingly tolerate QUESTS. I don't like them! They are waste of my time, and they don't produce the profits one would expect for the level of computer work required. I suggest QUESTS be TERMINATED!

I still strongly suggest a way to generate more Farm Dollars. How about SELLING bundles of Farm Cash? Say a bundle of 25 Dollars for a million coins?

Why do you act as if you have to do the quest?No one is forcing you to do them.They are not required.25 FC for a million coins?Ummm...so trade virtual money to take real money out of the devs pockets...99.9999% sure they will never do that.If you owned a business...would you give away more than you take in?

I had a quest today to make 2 Pinata. It was 17 steps. Because I (at almost all times) have all the crops growing, I was able to knock out 14 of the steps right away......wait a couple of hours for sugar to be done and then complete 2 more, and an hour later I started the last step.

This was one of those quests that makes me LOVE doing quests. It was an absolute pleasure to do it.

Just wanted to share. Loving the quests. I always did them. Now to get one or two FC (mostly 2) just for doing what I already loved to do is such a bonus.

Thanks development team.

I guess you, like me, feel a bit cheated when we open a new quest and find that it only has two steps, or when you have carefully made sure you have every crop covered, and the two step quest needs none of them :( I love the longer, more complicated ones.

Shhhhhh, don't let the mayor know that or he might never give me any easy ones. I must admit that sometimes when I am very short on spare time an easy two step comes in handy :)

The lifeline I got said "This employee lifeline lets you procure goods for this quest also as an employee working others factories or facilities." First, this would be more clear without the word "also". Second, it does not work. I had everything I needed harvested and pine lumber, yellow ink and black pigment started. I worked several peoples' farms and the lifeline did not do anything. The time on the products is the same as it was before I worked the other farms. I saw the facilities being worked when I was at their farms. Is there another meaning for you can procure goods by working other peoples farms that I don't know of

So true Helen. Growing my quest farm is just part of my farming. I know I will have something to maintain every day, but it is a little disheartening when quest after quest is oil pump related and generally doesn't require any crops at all.

I think (hope) I'm going to like the new cooperative quests. Seek and Help missions appeal to me. Not the Need and Beg ones though. lol

[KnightRider]

Since they have started the FC in the quests, I go mostly by the time to expire, like today I received a 3 step quest, but what I noticed is that it takes 7 days to expire and I qualify for the FC on Fri, so that 3 step quest I can hold it over and do it next week. If this week is like the other weeks, I will have 3 quests held over for next week.

"This employee lifeline lets you procure goods for this quest also as an employee working others factories or facilities." This lifeline is for you to work one of your neighbors' facilities or factories for the product(s).

So this is the second day of the "7-day" framework. I have 5 Quests done. Gee, I sure hope I can do the other 3 in the next five days....:p

Same at the other acct.

Sure pays to let them only go close to the the finish line, then pop a few at once.

Actually all it does is put off the start of one 7-day after another 7-day has finished. But the few days in between is a nice break each week.

[Rob T]

My lifeline said I could harvest from another farmer, but the harvest didn't show up.

Hi Pattipo,

When you use the employee lifeline, You only get 10% of the crops you harvest, so you would need to do at least 10 plots in order to get 1, unless they are fertilized, then you can get away with half.

If you need 10 plots for your quest, you would need to harvest anything between 50 and 100.

As you harvest, click on the quest icon until you have done enough for the checkmark to appear.

I hope this helps

Hi Presentsand Decor,
Sorry but with the trader lifeline there isn't any way for you to get the wall paper without the factory. You cannot buy factory produced products. Either you will need to purchase the factory or let the quest expire.

[Sandy Mae]

:eek: Please tell me it isn't so..The one reason I love FT is NO quests and begging for stuff..I hope they aren't going to start quests as it will ruin a great fun game..

The way I see things is Facebook puts out certain rules each game company has to do in order to be allowed to play on said facebook. GGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! Then I see certain things that should appeal to people of the younger players. This is the only game that is capitalism at it's finest. I would love it to stay on those basis. But alas things do have to change just a little bit so that old timers like me keep coming back day after day, year after year. So on all of that the quests will be around as well as the new quests on the way.:(

[Sandy Mae]

I see no LARGE begging for any quest and I have been working them a long while! Just saying and you do not have to do any quest at all. just saying that too

[anstar]

The quests here are different from the ones on Zynga games. When I saw them pop up in here I had the same reaction. Nooo! I don't want to spam my friend's timelines begging for things, or have to try to "sign up 5 new players" to get the bonus or whatever. You have the option to use a lifeline and ask for help if you need it but those lifelines are very limited...totally unlike the daily "I need 10 hammers to complete step 1 of my quest" posts you are required to do for quests in other games. So aside from the very confusing (for many people) rules and the lack of a visible clock on a game with a to the second time limit, the quests here are not too bad. They're unobtrusive anyway.

[sharfar]

Quests are an option. Unlike many games you don't have to do them.

Initially, I had posted in the forum when the stupid question-mark box, in the top left corner, appeared, and I didn't like seeing the readings. It is distracting AND (most importantly,) I knew I couldn't follow the exact rules, for it; I am still learning how to use the forum, and also how to play the game. But even with these feelings, I secretly wish I could participate, to earn Farm Cash. But not the expense of being confused about following the exact rules. So now, I just ignore the box, and play, to enjoy myself--how it should always be (some players questing only want certain jobs for quests, which I think creates a sort of competitive market, I don't like.

Hi lmacgregor!

To be able to harvest crops in other farms for a quest, you need to get the Employee Lifeline. For harvesting crops in other farm you need to know you only receive 10% for the harvesting, so if you need 10 blueberries you need to harvest 100 spots.

Hi Mare,
The only expiration date on the FC collection would be if you waited long enough for all of the quests on the chart to fall off (after 7 days from their completion) down until you only had 2 left (less than the minimum of 3).

Mary, Once the button turns blue to collect FC...collect it. Any quests you finish after it turns blue will not count towards the FC. Your 7 days to complete quests are up when it turns blue. So any quests you finish after it turns blue will not go towards that FC. In other words if you only have 7 completed and it turns blue it will not add an 8th to it to give you more FC.

Hello Jean,

Sorry, but that isn't true, quests will still count after the button turns blue, they still count until the FC is collected not when it turns blue. When it turns blue that is just an indication that you have now qualified to collect your FC.

[deenites]

I am doing the quest for first class meal and it is telling me that it will take 26 hours to produce one champagne barrel... this is absolutely ridiculous... it only takes 6 hours in the winery... why is it so long in the quest.... it will take 2 days at least to complete this quest, assuming I don't go to bed tonight :( How much harder can you make it to earn FC... stupid stupid stupid

[deenites]

In reply to Jeans farm regarding quests... I find that once it turns blue and the 7 days up if you don't collect it then you loose some... I was waiting for 1 hour for the 8th and then when i collected it I lost the previous 2 that I had on one day taking me back to 6.... it is a joke trying to get the 8th one. And now 26 hours to produce a single champagne barrel on one quest, with still 4 elements to go after that so heck knows how long this one will take :(

Hello deenites,

As mentioned the comment in Jean's Farm is incorrect.

For your quest you need 10 barrels of champagne that is why it is taking so long, it takes 6 hours for a batch of 2 barrels of champagne, so it has to make 5 batches, if you have more than one winery, you can start the production in those and that should work to lower the time it takes.

For your quests that you are losing, they are probably dropping off, due to being completed for more than 7 days. It is best if you wait a day before you complete the last step of a quest after collecting your FC, this way you will have a buffer.

[deenites]

i have 10 wineries and it made not a scrap of difference, still wants 26 hours to complete the 10 barrels, so your suggestion of starting more than one winery doesn't work :(

[Queen.of.Clutter]

i have 10 wineries and it made not a scrap of difference, still wants 26 hours to complete the 10 barrels, so your suggestion of starting more than one winery doesn't work :(

You have to start a SINGLE BATCH in each winery .... not click the START ALL. If you click the START ALL on a winery, then you are stuck. For quests, I always only start single batches, and it's worked out wonderfully. Remember, if you fill your facilities to post, and a quest needs something, it will go toward that, it's best to do quests first, before posting facilities for work.

My button to collect FC NEVER turns blue till the exact time that 7 days have elapsed. How can it add another quest I finish to count towards FC after the 7 days are up??? (I'm talking CASH here...not coins.)

Hi Jean!:)

I think you have misunderstood KnightRider response. I will try to explain:

The farmcash button will turn blue exact to the second you last collected farmcash the previous week. Lets say at that time you have 7 quests completed and another one in progress. Suppose you need 2 more hours to complete that quest and be able to collect 2 farmcash instead of 1. In this case you need to know the exact day and hour you completed the first quest for that week.

Suppose, the button turns blue, Monday at 07:00 am, your 8th quest will be completed at 09:00 am, and your first quest for that week was completed at 11:00 am, then you can wait till completing the 8th quest and then click in the button and receive 2 farmcash.

In case the first quest for that week was completed let say, at 08:00 am, then you need to collect the cash because although the last one will be completed at 09:00 am, when you try to collect at this time (09:00 am) the first one will dropp off the chart because for it the seven days have passed.:)

Ok I understand now, marymarcel. Thank you.....I was under the impression that once it turned blue that you could not add anymore completed quests to it. Hmmmm...now I'm thinking of how many times I missed the 2 FC because I did not understand this. :)

[Vickie2009]

I had 9 quests completed but could not claim my farm cash because 7 days were not complete. When I next tried, my score was only 7, so I could only claim 1 farm cash. I have spent a lot of real money on this game over the years and now feel I have been robbed. I am finished. You have lost a real regular player. For the sake of 1 farm cash, you have lost a lot more.

Hi Vickie,
I anm sorry you feel that way. Unfortunately there have to be rules on how the game works. A computer program cannot work on variable rules because it can not make decisions based on that kind of variable. There are only 2 things you need to remember on the quests to get your farm cash. One is that a quest is only good for 7 days exactly to be on the chart. And two is when you click on that button to collect your farm cash the program can only look back 7 days exactly to figure out how many quests you have. If you completed the last step of a quest on Tuesday at 11:30 AM then it will no longer be counted after the next Tuesday at 11:31 AM. If you delay until Tuesday at 11:31 AM to collect then that quest will not be counted.
This is why we suggest two things. First is to write down the time and day you collect on. The second is to not start the last step of any quests you can't finish for the current week until at least a day after you have collected your farm cash. This way you have a buffer in case you can't get to the computer to collect at the same time. Do these two things and you will not have any problems with the quests.

[carolann43]

I too have hundreds of dollars invested in this game. If I lose 1 FC...so be it. I start again. It's not a deal breaker. Losing stuff out of inventory though is getting on my nerves LOL.

[joy_of_oz]

I find it distressing , when you reach quest number 7 and the first quest you completed expires before 8 can be done. Surely, if a quest is complete the expiry date no longer applies ? This is particularly harsh when you have been slowed down by quests which you have no facility to complete !

Hi Joy,
The expiration date time you see in the quest is no longer valid once you complete the last step of the quest. At that point a quest is good for 7 days exactly for the collection of farm cash.
The way the rules were set down from the beginning is to complete at least 3 quests in 7 days to collect 1 farm cash or complete at least 8 quests in that 7 days to collect 2 farm cash.
If it was not this way then you could collect 2 farm cash every time you completed 8 quests regardless of how long it took you to complete them.

I persoanlly have been enjoying the Quest. Yes, I had to lose a FC or two to learn the rules, but isn't that like most things in life.

I would like to understand one thing though, When the blue light comes on that you can collect your FarmCash for completing the number of Quest, how many hours is that available. I have gone from Quest collections on Thursdays and now Quest collections are on Saturdays.

Hi gingerbread rob ertson!


When the Farm cash button turns blue allowing you to collect them, it will stay blue until you collect farm cash. But depending on the time the first quest was completed, if you wait for collecting, that first quest could dropp of the chart.
So lets say you collected cash on September 6th at 09:00, after that you completed your first quest for the next week at 11:00 that day, the button will turn blue on September 13th at 09:00. At that time you have 7 completed quests and you have the 8th quest in progress, which will be completed at 10:00 then you can wait to complete it and collect 2fc. but if that quest will be completed at 12:00 then although you have completed 8 quests, when you click in the blue button you will only get 1 farmcash because your first quest will dropp of the chart because for that quest the 7 days have just passed.:)

[anstar]

I just came to grumble because I'm having a run of bad luck. First I got two long complicated quests in a row (which I usually like) where I didn't have the means to complete a step and (of course) got the wrong lifeline, meaning days of waiting for it to fall off before I could try for another one. Then I got 3 quests in a row where the last step required a facility I didn't own. :cry: My FC collection time will still be on Sunday, but it definitely moved a few hours because it's taking so long to eke out a third quest in the 7 day limit.

Oh, and I'm just curious...mods, don't y'all get tired of answering the same question over and over again? Where's my 2 FC? This morning I had 8 quests but the button was black. Now it's blue but there are only 7 (or 6 or 5) quests showing.......... I don't want the devs to make it easy, 'cause "quest" but they might want to consider clarifying the instructions before the mods develop carpal tunnel (or just run screaming into the night.)

[mrschar]

Right now I am very disappointed and ticked. I earned 1 FC last Sunday evening. I had other quests working, but held off on the final step until I earned the 1 FC so I did't lose them.Some were quick, so I got them completed later that evening. I have had 8 quests completed for a couple of days, just waiting until tonight. I tried to cash it in before I went to Sunday evening worship and it was too early, so it wouldn't let me. I got home, ate, got on the computer and go to collect it immediately, only to find that I only have 6 showing. This stinks and it is very discouraging. I wish I knew the exact time quests were completed and the exact time I can collect my FC. I have worked so hard this week, only to feel gypped. I have 2 started, but know I won't be able to get them done before I lose one I've already done. Yesterday's is quite complicated, starting with about 5 items from the mines and they take a long time to be ready to use. GRRRRRR!!!

I had other quests working, but held off on the final step until I earned the 1 FC so I did't lose them.Some were quick, so I got them completed later that evening. I have had 8 quests completed for a couple of days, just waiting until tonight. I tried to cash it in before I went to Sunday evening worship and it was too early, so it wouldn't let me. I got home, ate, got on the computer and go to collect it immediately, only to find that I only have 6 showing. This stinks and it is very discouraging. I wish I knew the exact time quests were completed and the exact time I can collect my FC. I have worked so hard this week, only to feel gypped. I have 2 started, but know I won't be able to get them done before I lose one I've already done. Yesterday's is quite complicated, starting with about 5 items from the mines and they take a long time to be ready to use. GRRRRRR!!!

I don't understand how you can "lose" your quests. I think I have missed the 2FC reward maybe twice. I ALWAYS collect my coins the moment each Quest is done and then on the final day, I get the 8th and collect 2FC. Why would you save the last step for anything ??

If you have a quest that you don't need for your 8 or one you could finish shortly after having collected, then by saving the last step for an extra day you would leave yourself a buffer of time just in case you can't get to the computer to collect at the same time as you did last week.

I am ahead for each week now, so I "save" the last step of any quests that are over the 8 I already have done. I don't start them till I am into the second day of the week. So, I have a buffer starting the next week. I want to know that I collect my FC cash on the same day....same time EVERY week. I don't want it jumping from one day to the next.

For example, I had three quests that I waited to start this morning. I collect on Sundays at 9:00 am.

Not sure if this is the right place.. but it does have to do with my quest... I posted 2 different ingredient requests for things I needed for my quest (Yes I do have gift lifeline) Went to post a third and its telling me that I can only request items from my friends 5 times every 12 hours and to try again later.
ERmmmmm I haven't posted any ingredient requests for days... only the 2 that I posted today.
I realise there is an update due and everyone seems to be experiencing some glitch or other but its so annoying.

The biggest problem that I have with quests is some of them demand that you use certain tools that one doesn't always have in their inventory. The second option is to go to the Market and trade for what you need, the problem with that is there are very few and often none that go to this part of the Market. What to do when one doesn't spend $$$ out of his pocket to buy things?

Hello JimNila143,

Are you talking about facilities instead of tools, cause any tool can be used to work quests, but the quests use a random number generator to pick a number and the quest that corresponds with that number is what you get.

With going to the market you need to receive the trader lifeline in order to be able to trade in the market place.

If you don't have the necessary facilities to finish a quest and can't purchase it, then you would need to let that quest expire.

Here we go again, I am missing credit for my quests that are finished. This is the third time this week it has done this. :confused:

Hi Diana,
You collected 1 farm cash on the 28th at 8:51 AM eastern time. You have only completed 1 regular quests since that time, but have 2 in progress.
If you are referring to the co-op quests, they have not counted for farm cash since Oct 1st. You only currently get coins for those.

[dojewo]

I've noticed there is a way for the Mods to see when quests were collected, I was just wondering if there is a way that I could check when my quests for farm cash would be ready other then writing the time down each week? Is this something that we will eventually have?

[Bevcruises33]

Please dont keep sending me replies to quests sent by other people. I only asked one question in 10 years and all I get is replies which should be going to someone else. Very very annoying

Hi dojewo,
Currently writing it down is the only way you can be sure of the time. If a way to tell within the game will be available in the future is something only the developers know and they don't tell us.

Thank you Jean ,I know if you wait to collect (wonder what the time space is)you mess up and only get 1,when you would have gotten 2

I never wait to collect. If I get 1 FC that's one more than what I had before and if I get 2 even better. If I have uncompleted quests and they won't finish before I collect I wait to start the last step till much later in the day. Then I have a head start on the next week.

It's free money so I don't care what they give me. If I screw it up, it's my fault not the games fault. Rules are rules.....if someone doesn't like them they don't have to play the game.

Sorry, Petuniaflower.....I had to get on my soap box. I read to many complaints here that "it's not fair, etc, etc." that I just had to say that.

Getting off my soap box now. :)

Get it off your chest :D It doesn't bother me much one way or another.But was just wondering do you have 1 hour ,2 hours.I am a BIG buyer. If I want something,I figure out what I can do without(real life) to get it LOL

Hi Petunia,
Let me see if I can explain it. As an example, if you collect your farm cash at 10:30 Am on Sunday, then your next collection time starts at 10:30 AM the next Sunday. Let's say you complete your first quest at 4:15 PM on that first Sunday. That means you have a window to collect the next Sunday from 10:30 AM to 4:14 PM before you lose that first quest. You have from the time your button turns blue until the time you completed the first quest. It is not a specific time amount.

If my original quest reward comes in Wednesday morning and I do nothing and have no quests going until the following Tuesday, will my accounting day/time stay the same? Will it just skip the empty Wednesday and take up again after another 7 days? I want to know when to start finishing quests again once I return to play after a week off. Thank you.

[garden ho]

There are a lot of posts about quests expiring and weeks ending and having to start over for a quota to get the 2 FC. . .My week has never started over - If I lose a quest at the end of the 7 day time frame, my 7 days carries on until such time that I do make the quota and collect my FC - THEN my week starts over from scratch. . .

Thanks for your reply. The last time I stopped questing for 6 days I was told my new time frame would commence as soon as I COMPLETED a quest. However, as soon as I collected 3 completed quests (3 days after I returned) the COLLECT REWARDS bar turned blue and I received 1 FC. Is that what you are saying? If so, that's fine - Is the quota for 1 FC, not for 2, and then the week, as you said, starts over from there? It's NOT a big deal, but I sure would like to understand it. Again, thanks for replying. Happy questing!

I used the lifeline to obtain blueberries which said I could procure goods by working on my own or another farm. I was hired by another farmer, harvested 3 crops but when I returned to my own farm I still need the blueberries What???
This isnt the first time this has happened but always seems to be when i am close to 8 quests to get $2 Come on sort your game out please

Hi DizzyMiss:)

I'm sorry about your problem with your quest.

Did you get the employee lifeline? When you harvest in another farm, you only obtain 10% from the harvesting, so if you need 1 blueberry for your quest you need to harvest 10 spots. While you are harvesting, you can open your tool box and then click in the quest icon to check if you have got the green tick for that product.

If you got an intermitent glitch which doesnt allow you to get the green tick, then you will need to wait some hours and try again. As it is intermitent it is not easy for the developers to pin it out and fix.

[gingerbread rob ertson]

I too, used the lifeline to work someone's farm to get ONE blueberry.
Found someone w/ 9 and then another person w/ 2 = 11,
I still don't have the green check mark, saying that part of the quest is complete.
I was also close to the 2 farm cash for the week,

I gave in and accepted the 1 for the week.

Hi, sorry you misunderstood, but as Mary said and you found out, you have to harvest 10 at a time to get one, you cannot split them up between hires. We only get 10% of what we harvest, this is why.

Also, you do not have to give in, you do not have to collect your FC as soon as the button lights up! keep on going and get as many done as you can! Your blue light will not go off unless you drop below 3 quests in your timeline OR you collect and start a new week, so keep going. :)
