Daily / Weekly Quests

A task system unlocks progressively through chapter progression. Basic tasks guide players through core mechanics; later tasks direct attention toward underexplored systems. Three task types: daily tasks (reset each day), one-time tasks (permanent completion markers), and chapter-specific tasks. Tasks award gold coins, gems, and activity-specific currencies. The task hub is accessible from the home screen with Go buttons navigating directly to the relevant game section.

The progressive task unlock ensures players are introduced to each system at the moment it becomes available, guild mechanic, black market, dungeon, rather than being presented with all objectives simultaneously from the first session. Tasks function as a guided discovery layer that reveals the full game depth gradually.

Tasks are listed in the task hub with completion progress tracked. Chapter-gated tasks reveal new objectives as chapters are cleared. Go buttons link directly to the relevant section.

Task unlocks are gated behind chapter progression, the full task library is only accessible after significant play investment.

Daily tasks reset each day with four tasks: complete a skill game or match, complete tackles, earn Dream Chaser tokens, and watch an ad. Completing all four unlocks a bundled reward of 3M FC coins, 300 gems, 300 Star Pass Credits, and 750 XP. Individual tasks can be refreshed for 10 gems. Kickoff Missions structure the first seven days of play as a staged onboarding quest line with time-gated unlocks: Day 2 opens 8 hours after Day 1 completion, Day 3 after 32 hours, Day 4 after 3 days, scaling gem rewards to 7,500 at Day 6 and 10,000 at Day 7. A third system, Dream Chasers Celebration, runs parallel to Kickoff Missions with largely identical tasks.

The time-gated Kickoff Mission cadence is a retention mechanism embedded in the onboarding layer, holding back content to create daily return reasons across the first week. The parallel quest systems, daily tasks, Kickoff Missions, Dream Chasers Celebration, league quests, and event-specific quest lines, create overlapping tracking surfaces that maximize daily interaction points.

Three tabs within the quest hub: Kickoff, Tasks, and Login. Each task card has a Go button that navigates directly to the relevant game section. Day-locked future Kickoff tasks show countdown timers.

An observed inconsistency: 'Train a player once' marked complete in Dream Chasers Celebration but not in Kickoff Missions within the same session, the parallel systems share missions but not completion state.

The City Bulletin Board functions as the quest hub, accessed from a map icon that replaces the City Management Guide after onboarding. Three quest types run simultaneously: the Flyer Board (salesman ad watch, reward 1 diamond), Citizen Classified Level 1 (find an object in the city, reward 1 diamond, 59-minute cooldown), Level 2 (1 diamond, triggers interstitial on completion), and Level 3 (2 diamonds). Quest narratives use the city's character cast, the salesman, citizens with missing objects, Kashi. The Level 1 classified quest refreshes after 59 minutes, making quest cycles sub-daily rather than daily.

The salesman quest bridges the quest system and the ads system, the Flyer Board quest reward and the salesman ad reward are the same action. Completing a quest means watching an ad; the quest framing gives the ad watching a narrative context and a diamond reward. The 59-minute cooldown makes quest cycles available multiple times per day, creating structured return pressure at sub-daily intervals without requiring a long session each time.

The bulletin board is a city map object with a notification bubble showing available tasks. It is not in the navigation bar, it requires tapping within the city view. Go buttons in each quest navigate to the relevant city area.

The 59-minute classified quest cooldown allows multiple quest completions per day, creating denser return pressure than daily-only quest systems.

Four parallel quest systems in one Quests tab: Journey Quests (sequential onboarding objectives from start, no reset), Daily Quests (7 tasks resetting at midnight, unlock at level 6, examples: use 100 energy, finish 3 Light Side battles, open 1 data card, buy 3 shipments, completing all 7 unlocks the Daily Activity Prize Box with variable contents), Episode Quests (daily tasks generating Episode Points for the battle pass, some pass-gated), and Character Quests (episode-specific tasks tied to the featured Marquee character). A fifth subtab, Achievements, surfaces through Apple Game Center.

Four parallel quest systems create overlapping daily engagement loops across different content areas, campaign battles (Journey), any battle type (Daily), era-specific battles (Episode), and Marquee character battles (Character). The episode quest badge behavior, showing a notification for pass-gated content, was identified in the session as a deliberate design choice: persistent notification pressure that resolves only with a purchase.

All four quest types appear in subtabs within the Quests section. Episode quest notification badges appear even for pass-gated quests, the badge shows something to collect, but clicking reveals the quest requires the Episode Pass. The Quests tab is accessible from the cantina hub's main navigation.

Episode quest notification badges appear for pass-gated quests that require the $19.99 Episode Pass to claim, the notification creates persistent "something to collect" pressure that reveals itself as purchase-gated only on clicking.
