The Contract Board

The contract board is its own screen, opened from the Contract Board button in the top row of the /quests menu. It holds 3 daily and 3 weekly contracts, each a short job drawn from things you already do, and each pays Ancient Energy and a reward box.

How the board works

  • The third contract of each set unlocks once you have claimed the first two.
  • Dailies reset at 11 AM Pacific. Weeklies reset on Friday at 11 AM Pacific.
  • You claim a finished contract by clicking it on the board. Clicking the "contract ready" message in chat opens /quests.
  • A finished contract you have not claimed by the reset is lost.
  • You cannot claim inside the Tartarus Rift. Leave first.

The contracts

Contract What it asks
Quota Run Mine blocks
Calcite Quota Mine calcite
Meteorite Haul Mine meteorite blocks
Wormhole Work Apply enchants
Monster Cull Kill Expedition Monsters
Magic Hunt Kill Magic Monsters
Rare Hunt Kill Rare Monsters
Bounty Work Earn hunter points
Boss Assault Deal damage to bosses
Mark Harvest Earn rift marks
Rift Descent Complete rift runs

A new player's first contracts come from mining, wormhole enchants, monsters and hunter points. A daily rift contract is not drawn on a day when your rift time is already spent, and a weekly one is not drawn when too few days are left in the week to finish it.

Targets scale with your level

Most targets come in three sizes that grow with your level. After any Ascension you always get the full size. Rift Descent asks the same number of runs at every level. Ancient Energy rises with each size, and an Ascended player is paid more again for the same full-size target. The size is fixed when the contract is drawn.

Quota Run is sized more finely. A Daily I or II asks about 1,000 blocks up to level 30, rising to 18,000 at level 56 and above. Daily III and the weeklies ask more.

Reward boxes

Contract Pays
Daily I and II Ancient Energy and a Contract Reward Box
Daily III Ancient Energy and 2 Contract Reward Boxes
Weekly I and II Ancient Energy and a Contract Coffer
Weekly III Ancient Energy and a Contract Vault

All three boxes hold enchanting supplies and booster boxes. The Coffer and the Vault give more items per box and better ones, and the Vault is the best of the three.

Contract rewards follow the same shared-connection rule as quest rewards. See Quests.
