In The Witcher: Monster Slayer, Contracts are optional small quests which the character can undertake in exchange for gold coins.
Contracts are accessed through the contract menu in the lower right corner of the map view.
Daily Tasks[]
After the November 2021 update, 3 contracts are given a day. If a contract has not been completed, completing one the next day frees up a slot and the third (or second, etc) contract of the new day will appear again.
One contract can be changed once a day by pressing the circular-arrow reload icon in the upper right corner of the page. After this it is possible to 'delete' a contract by pressing the trashbin icon, which has the same effect as completing it would be, without rewards.
Daily Hunt[]
In addition, the first kill of a day gives a stamp shown on the Daily Hunt stamp list. One stamp can be earned a day, and collecting 5 stamps rewards a summoning scroll.
Timed Tasks[]
An additional set of themed "Timed Tasks" have been added in the November update into a tab behind the daily, which can provide additional rewards and coins if they are all completed. Occasionally, there have been bugs in claiming specific missions even though they show up as complete, and the fixes have been prompt.
It is worth noting that in the timed tasks, the phrasing "Kill <monster> while using only <something>", for example "Kill any monster from the OGROID class while using only SIGNS", means that:
- You can do damage with signs, obviously, but also
- You may use potions and oils, AND
- It is also ok to cause and avoid damage as a side effect of normal or perfect parrying.
In other words, to "kill only by using signs" means you must kill without using fast or strong attacks or bombs, but all other boosters are fine. Similarly killing only with bombs allows parrying, but probably not any signs.
Inventory of Potential Daily Tasks[]
Note: After the May 2022 update, task rewards have changed (seems that they have increased). Those appearing above "Craft oils" are validated to have appeared after the update.
| Name | Description | Reward | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Witcher: The Professional | Kill 4 monsters while using oil | 60 | Use an oil and kill 4 monsters. Note that bear fat (25) and repair (30) costs of one oil mean that using this contract to kill commons is only worth 5 coins, so you may want to switch it if you have no other uses for oil. |
