Please assist me in enabling my perpetual laziness-- which quests have to be done immediately, and which don't? I know wizard quests and blue building quests need to be done asap for maximum reward. I really only ask because Subeta loads on a slight delay for me so it's more time-effective for me to be clicking between tabs in order to finish all my quests/work on other things. Sometimes I get distracted, so I'd like to know which ones I need to power through, or is it all of them?

As far as I know, those are the only two quests whose rewards depend on how fast you finish them

I believe the only quest that can be done at your own volition are Shinwa's. All the rest have time limits on and there that affects which rewards you get, I know the Wizard is one who gives you better rewards on how quickly you finish.

what are the time limits on the other ones that are not Blue Building or Wizard? How badly is your reward reduced?

I think (other than Shinwa) all quests have a 30 min time limit. As far as rewards go, though, I'm not sure if the ones that haven't been mentioned are affected by how quick you do them.

In the past Keith has outright stated that you get better rewards for all quests when you do them faster. However, I don't know if this applies currently - quests have been tweaked a lot since I read that years ago.

I've tried tracking it, but that's really hard to do since the monetary rewards naturally vary.

Other than Wizard quests, which are pretty obvious when you do them slowly and Blue building quests, I haven't been able to confirm any others.

I know there's a 30 minute time limit (I'd be getting nothing if I went over this lol) but I didn't know if the reward variation still existed. I do remember it existing at one point, but I was also here when you had the time limit and had to shop search everything by hand. So my basis for comparison is a bit off. Maybe when I get a chance I'll spend a few days mapping out rewards and finding an average. Thanks everyone!

If you do the experiment, could you please post the results somewhere. Either here, or make a thread in the games forum. I'd be really interested in your conclusions and I'm pretty sure others would like to know for sure. Thanks in advance if you do it!

I definitely will if I do! I think it'd be neat for those who want to see. I'll ping you when I do!

I've almost missed finishing quests many times, and some of those times I got rewards that were even above average, including amulets, so I don't think time is relevant outside the two obvious one.

If you need any help I still have two weeks of vacation, so I can contribute with data or whatever in the meantime.

Thank you so much! Data from more people is always better than data from one. I was planning on doing at least two days each of quests where I finished them immediately, at 20 minutes, and then at 5 minutes (which will be a pain cos that'll take all day but). So six days total. I'll keep track of the total worth in SP and items and total it all up and look for an average at the end. I'll probably stick to just 10 quests instead of the 15 GA quests for sake of simplicity.
