Contracts
Contracts are timed tasks issued by the Contract Board. Completing them pays out Fang Marks, a currency you spend at the Mark Exchange. The Contract Board unlocks at Hunting level 10.
How contracts work
[edit | edit source]- The Contract Board deals a small hand of contracts, refreshing on a rotation every 12 hours.
- You can hold and complete up to three claims per rotation — the board itself is the real limit on how many Marks you earn.
- Only contracts you are eligible for appear: each may require a certain skill level, or that a particular biome is unlocked, so undoable tasks stay off the board.
- If the offered contracts don't suit you, a reroll deals a fresh set.
- Each contract has a completion condition — hunt a number of a specific creature, perform a number of gathers or crafts in a skill, win a number of expeditions, complete delves, harvests, tames, or trades.
- Fang Marks pay out at roughly 1 Mark per 2 minutes of directed play.
Contract types
[edit | edit source]- Culls — hunt a set number of a named creature (for example 25 Compsognathus). Higher-level culls target tougher prey in specific biomes for more Marks.
- Supply orders — complete a number of actions in a gathering or production skill (Foraging, Logging, Mining, Fishing, Cooking, Crafting, Smithing, Alchemy).
- Patrol bounties — win a number of expeditions, sometimes pinned to a specific biome or to weather (rain or snowfall).
- Other writs — winning delves, harvesting crops, taming creatures, or moving goods at the Trading Post.
Contract rewards scale from 3 Marks for the simplest tasks up to 15 Marks for the toughest endgame culls and patrols.
