Contracts & Tasks

Contracts are Quests in the world of Stoneshard. All Contracts are tracked by the game, you can check their status in your Journal at any time. Clicking a Contract entry in your Journal will set it as your active Contract and the current objective step will be displayed while adventuring.

Main Quest

Main quests track your progress through the game's story. Your character starts the game with the main quest already active. There are currently two main quests in the Early Access version of the game.

Escape the Dungeon is the main quest for the Prologue.

Gathering the Caravan is the main quest for the story for the Adventure Mode.

Village Contracts

Village Contracts are the "official business" type.

• They are always tied to a specific village or town and only provided by the village elder.
• Village Contracts have a time limit in which you have to complete it.
• If you fail to complete the contract in the time limit, the contract is voided, you get no rewards and you lose some Reputation with the village.
• Contracts must be turned in to the village elder who issued it after completion.
• Completing a contract raises your Reputation with the village and always comes with a fixed reward in Crowns.

The objective may require you free a captive person, bring back a stolen item, or simply clear out a Dungeon. Sometimes you will be required to bring a proof of your deed.

Contract mechanics

Offered contracts are randomly selected from a list of possible Contracts each reset. Contracts will reset every 4 in-game days.

Each contract is tied to a specific Dungeon on the map. When you set a contract as your active quest, the Dungeon in question will become marked with a small red X on your Local Map. Until you complete a contract by turning it in to the village elder, you can enter the Dungeon as many times as you want. Completing the contract will seal the respective dungeon's entrance, so you will be unable to enter until the reset.
