Daily & Weekly Quests/Contracts

Beyond the sprawling narrative and region-specific sagas, Assassin's Creed Valhalla offers a dynamic layer of repeatable content through its Daily and Weekly Quests/Contracts. These bite-sized missions are an excellent way to earn valuable resources, gain experience, and acquire unique gear, keeping your Viking journey fresh and rewarding long after the main story concludes. Engaging with these regularly is crucial for optimizing your progression and expanding your Ravensthorpe settlement.

Accessing Contracts: Reda's Shop

Your primary hub for these contracts is Reda's Shop, located within your settlement of Ravensthorpe. Reda, the young leader of the Thousand Eyes, is usually found near the center of the settlement, often surrounded by his loyal followers. You'll unlock access to his services early in the game, typically after establishing Ravensthorpe and completing a few initial settlement quests.

To initiate a contract:

  1. Locate Reda in Ravensthorpe. He's marked with a distinct icon on your compass and map: a small, stylized eye.
  2. Interact with Reda to open his shop interface.
  3. Navigate to the "Contracts" tab. Here, you will see a list of available Daily and Weekly Contracts.

Understanding Contract Types & Rewards

Reda offers two distinct types of contracts, each with different refresh timers and reward structures:

Daily Contracts

  • Availability: These refresh every 24 hours (real-world time).
  • Quantity: You can typically accept up to two Daily Contracts at a time.
  • Difficulty: Generally shorter and less complex than Weekly Contracts.
  • Rewards: Completing a Daily Contract typically grants you Opal (a rare currency), a significant amount of XP, and sometimes minor crafting materials or silver.

Weekly Contracts

  • Availability: These refresh once a week (real-world time), usually on a specific day (e.g., Tuesday or Thursday, depending on regional server resets).
  • Quantity: You can usually accept one Weekly Contract.
  • Difficulty: These are often more involved, requiring travel to different regions, tackling stronger enemies, or completing multi-stage objectives.
  • Rewards: Weekly Contracts offer a larger bounty of Opal compared to Daily Contracts, along with substantial XP and often higher-tier crafting materials or even unique gear pieces.

Common Contract Objectives & Strategies

While the specific targets and locations change, contract objectives generally fall into a few categories:

1. Assassination Contracts: "The Thousand Eyes' Target"

  • Objective: Eliminate a specific, often well-guarded, target.
  • Strategy:
    • Scout First: Use your raven, Synin, to tag the target and any surrounding enemies, identifying patrol routes and potential entry points.
    • Stealth Approach: For maximum efficiency and to avoid larger skirmishes, consider a stealthy infiltration. Look for high vantage points for a Leap of Faith or hidden paths.
    • Abilities: Abilities like Raven Distraction, Man's Best Friend (to distract guards), or Rush & Bash (for a quick, silent takedown) are invaluable.
    • Gear: Equip gear that boosts stealth damage or provides bonuses to assassination. The Hidden Blade is, of course, your best friend here.

2. Item Retrieval Contracts: "Stolen Goods" or "Recover the Relic"

  • Objective: Infiltrate an enemy camp or stronghold and retrieve a specific item.
  • Strategy:
    • Map Reconnaissance: Check your map for the general location of the item within the target area. It's often in a chest, a guarded room, or carried by a specific enemy.
    • Distraction & Diversion: Use environmental hazards (e.g., oil jars, hanging cargo) or abilities to draw enemies away from the item's location.
    • Swift Exit: Once the item is secured, prioritize a quick escape. You don't need to clear the entire camp unless you want the extra loot and XP.
    • Parkour Routes: Plan your entry and exit using verticality and parkour to bypass patrols.

3. Destruction Contracts: "Burn the Supplies" or "Raze the Camp"

  • Objective: Destroy a certain number of supply caches, siege equipment, or structures within a designated area.
  • Strategy:
    • Fire Arrows: Your bow is your best friend. Aim for explosive red jars near structures or directly at supply piles.
    • Torch: If you're out of arrows or prefer a direct approach, equip your torch (hold down on the D-pad) and light flammable objects.
    • Area of Effect Abilities: Abilities like Incendiary Powder Trap or Fire Strike can quickly destroy multiple targets.
    • Prioritize Objectives: Focus on the destruction targets first. You can always engage remaining enemies afterward if you wish.

Spending Your Opal

Opal, earned from these contracts, is a unique currency used exclusively at Reda's Shop. The items available for purchase with Opal rotate daily and weekly, offering a chance to acquire rare and powerful gear that might otherwise be locked behind the Helix Store (real-money purchases) or difficult late-game challenges.

  • Daily Offerings: Typically include a single cosmetic item (tattoo, longship scheme, settlement decoration) or a small pack of crafting materials.
  • Weekly Offerings: Often feature a high-tier weapon (e.g., a Mythical Great Sword or Legendary Bow), a full armor set piece, or a unique mount skin. These are usually more expensive in Opal but offer significant power boosts or aesthetic appeal.

Pro-Tip: Always check Reda's weekly offerings first. These often provide the most significant upgrades for your Opal. If nothing catches your eye, save your Opal for future rotations. Patience is key to acquiring the best gear without spending real money.

Maximizing Your Contract Efficiency

  • Fast Travel: use fast travel points (viewpoints and docks) to quickly reach contract locations across England.
  • Combine Objectives: If a contract takes you to a region you haven't fully explored, try to combine it with other activities like collecting wealth, mysteries, or artifacts in the same area.
  • Don't Overextend: Daily contracts are designed to be quick. If a contract feels too difficult or time-consuming for the reward, consider abandoning it and waiting for the next day's refresh.
  • Check Regularly: Make it a habit to visit Reda whenever you're in Ravensthorpe to check for new contracts and shop offerings. Missing a weekly refresh means missing out on potential rare gear.

By consistently engaging with Reda's Daily and Weekly Contracts, you'll ensure a steady stream of valuable resources and access to some of the most sought-after gear in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, making your journey as Eivor even more legendary.
