Tasks

Tasks are structured objectives that can be assigned by NPCs (or manually, if needed). They are tracked automatically as you play.

Syntax:

 task
 tasks
 task info <task_id>
 task assign <task_id>
 task abandon <task_id>
 read board
 refresh stories
 accept story <number>
 forego story <number>

What each command does:

 task / tasks
  Shows your current active tasks, progress for each activity, and completed tasks.
 task info <task_id>
  Shows detailed info about a specific task: title, description, level range,
  repeatability, and each objective.
 task assign <task_id>
  Attempts to assign a specific task to you (must pass normal requirements such as
  level range, enabled status, and repeatability rules).
 task abandon <task_id>
  Fails and removes an active task from your active list.
 read board
  In the Void, shows generated story tasks from the story board.
 refresh stories
  In the Void, redraws the generated story task offers.
 accept story <number>
  Accepts one generated story task from the Void story board.
 forego story <number>
  Removes one generated story task offer from your current Void story board.

How progress works:

 Progress updates automatically from gameplay events, including:

Target names:

 Task objectives show readable names when available.

Tips:

 1. Use `task` often to check what step is currently active.
 2. If an NPC offers multiple possible tasks, the system will assign one valid task.
 3. For general quest interaction basics (hail/say/trade), read `help quests`.
