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
- 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
- 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, and now run all the way up to Hunting 92 (the Cull Purussaurus writ) after the late board was filled in.
- 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. Weather-pinned bounties (Rain Runner, Snow Strider) now only appear when their weather is actually in the forecast window, so you can never be handed a rain job in a dry week.
- Other writs — winning delves, harvesting crops, taming creatures, or moving goods at the Trading Post.
Contract rewards scale from 6 Marks for the simplest tasks up to 16 Marks for the toughest endgame culls and patrols.
Every contract
The board draws from 33 contracts in all. Only ones you're eligible for (skill level and biome met) appear, and only three are claimable per rotation. "Requirement" lists the skill level and/or biome needed before a contract can be dealt.
