In the challenging world of 99 Nights in the Forest, consistent progress is key. Among the most vital resources for survival and upgrading your gear are Diamonds and Flames, and the most reliable source for them is the Daily Quest system. However, with a limit of three quests per day, choosing and completing the right ones efficiently is crucial.
This guide will break down everything you need to know about 99 Nights in the Forest daily quests, from how to get them to a complete list of tasks and strategies for finishing them.
What Are Daily Quests & How to Get Them
Daily Quests are randomly assigned tasks that refresh every 24 hours. They are your primary method for earning Diamonds and the rare “Flames” currency. You can only complete a maximum of three quests each day, making your selection important.
To receive your daily quests:
Go to the main lobby area of your base.
Find and interact with the white slot machine.
Pull the red lever to receive a random quest.
The quest you get will be from one of three tiers: Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3. Completing any quest also counts toward your overall quest completion achievements (10, 50, and 100 quests).
Tier 1 Daily Quests (Easy)
Tier 1 quests are the simplest and are perfect for newer players or for days when you’re short on time. They reward 5 Diamonds upon completion.
Common Tier 1 Quests Include:
Upgrade any tool once.
Build one piece of furniture.
Collect a specific type of flower.
Survive one night without a campfire.
Survive one wave of cultists.
Completion Strategy:
These quests are generally straightforward. Always keep some basic resources on hand to quickly upgrade a tool or craft a simple furniture item like a chair. The “survive without a campfire” quest can be done safely inside your base.
Tier 2 Daily Quests (Medium)
Tier 2 quests present a moderate challenge and offer better rewards. Completing a Tier 2 quest grants you 5 Diamonds and 1 Random Fire.
Common Tier 2 Quests Include:
Clear one Stronghold.
Help another player in co-op mode.
Consume a specific food item (e.g., 5 berries).
Lure a Ram to charge into a tree.
Craft any type of ammunition.
Tame a wild animal.
Have a certain amount of Scrap in your inventory.
Completion Strategy:
Preparation is Key: For quests like “Clear a Stronghold” or “Tame an animal,” ensure you have the necessary weapons, armor, and resources (like bait) ready before you start.
Multi-tasking: The “help another player” quest encourages cooperative play. Team up with a friend to tackle challenges together.
Resource Management: Keep a stockpile of common resources like Scrap and Berries to quickly fulfill these quests when they appear.
Tier 3 Daily Quests (Hard)
Tier 3 quests are the most difficult and time-consuming, but they offer the same valuable reward as Tier 2: 5 Diamonds and 1 Random Fire.
Common Tier 3 Quests Include:
Craft a specific high-tier item.
Open Ruby Chests.
Defeat the Cultist King.
Unite the Gem of the Forest fragments.
Tame a Mammoth.
Clear a Level 4 Stronghold.
Completion Strategy:
End-Game Focus: These quests are designed for experienced players with strong gear and a well-established base.
Long-Term Goals: Quests like “Defeat the Cultist King” or “Unite the Gem of the Forest” are significant undertakings. It’s often best to let these be a natural part of your progression rather than rushing them for a daily quest.
Weigh the Effort: Since the reward is the same as a Tier 2 quest, consider if the effort for a Tier 3 is worth it on a given day. Sometimes, it’s more efficient to re-roll a Tier 3 quest if possible.
Efficient Daily Quest Strategy
Check Quests Early: Always pull the slot machine at the start of your session to know what you’re working with.
Prioritize Tiers 2 & 3: Since they grant Flames, prioritize completing Tier 2 and 3 quests first. Tier 1 quests are good fallback options.
Prepare in Advance: Maintain a stocked base with common crafting materials, food, and ammunition to handle a variety of quests without needing to farm.
Combine Objectives: If you have a quest to “Clear a Stronghold,” see if you can also complete “Craft ammunition” or “Consume food” during the same expedition.
