Recurring Undefined Quests

While it may not be entirely all that obvious to the casual player, when a Mission or a Quest/Task is added to the game with a generic sounding goal or description, particularly when that action appears to be about as unrelated with the current story-mode, special, or Holiday Event as you can get, well then, it is most likely a Recurring Undefined Quest.

There are a small number of recurring and undefined quests already present in the game that may or may not have additional requirements (like Rank or having built a structure, or having a specific character present as a resident in your game) as such, that will require you to comply with their prerequisites. The idea being largely to fill a Content gap or otherwise provide additional action efforts in order to fluff-out an ongoing series.

That is to say, in very simple and basic terms, that these are quests with little or no requirements save for Level and the presence of the Buildings that are associated with the quests or within which they take place whose purpose is to stretch out Game Play in terms of time as well as effort so as to make the ongoing story arc make more time-sense.

It is thus our position that the purpose of this special quest type seems to be to provide a sort of pool of gap-quests that the game can use when there is no scripted and qualified quest available and where the use of a recurring quest is preferable to a lengthy period of inactivity and/or silence.

Based upon the admittedly limited History of Game Play presently available, these also appear to be used during periods between special and holiday events and, obviously, where a pause exists in The Story.

It should appear obvious that the following Quests qualify under the intentionally narrow definition used above pretty much without exception, right?

The following Recurring Undefined Quests are presented in alphabetical order - - and the order by which they are presented below has absolutely no weight in terms of the order in which these quests and missions may or may not have appeared in your game!

Enjoy these in the manner in which you are intended to do so, which is to say each being an opportunity to obtain extra XP and Income.
