Daily task regarding Workshop

    https://ikariam.fandom.com/wik…#cite_note-workshoptask-3

    based on the wikiriam page listed above, there is a daily task for 100 favor requiring us to improve something in the workshop.

    there is a note next to it on wikiriam which says: "This task appears only if you have at least a workshop in any of your cities and at least one update to be completed".


    with the introduction of infinite horizons 2 and so called "unlimited" upgrades, in theory, if we have at least one level 1 workshop in any of our cities and we haven't capped those "unlimited" upgrades for all units and ships, we won't be eligible for bonus of 100 favor for finishing all daily tasks, unless we upgrade something. doesn't this present a handicap, for later and quite expensive upgrades, by not being able to finish all daily tasks, for those who are in the process of upgrading units and ships, because it would take considerate amount of time and resource to finish those upgrades, in order to opt out this task from daily tasks pool. it is not an everyday task, it shows at random, but still it may be a little too much to have it as a daily task with this new update. based on wikiriam we have an option not to have a workshop, but do we?


    In my little investigation half a year back when I did not have all units and ships to the maximum, I came into conclusion that you get this task to improve something in the workshop if you have researched a unit or ship which is not fully upgraded, even if you don't have a workshop which does not match the task requirement from wikiriam. after finishing with upgrading those units and ships, that daily task did not show up again. after researching a new type of unit or ship, the task was again in the daily tasks pool.


    Latest information I was able to come across, regarding changes being made to daily tasks date to 08. August 2023 and patch 8.12.0. which is earlier than the mentioned situation occurred.

    I point out that if this "bug" is still in effect, everyone might get this daily task, starting from introduction of version 13.0 until exactly all available upgrades in workshop are capped.

    It might not be a "bug" but rather how developers intended it, where in that case, in my opinion, a review of this item being a daily task should be revised.


    What are your opinion on the matter, do you think the Workshop daily task should be removed from daily tasks or at least adjusted not to show up if we dont have a workshop?

    Luck of the draw, I'm afraid, if some tasks cannot be done.


    I doubt I can do all 8 more than 1 day in 4. I guess most accounts can't do all 5 passive production tasks, so that means 40% of the time they can't do all 8, even if producing enough on 4 of 5 goods. Some accounts already completed all workshop upgrades and/or all future researches, so those tasks weren't/aren't possible for them. Trades or battles might need too much shipping time to achieve in one 24 hour period, some of those hours being offline too.

    Since the new version came out, has anyone who previously had everyone maxed out had the "improve something in the workshop" task show up?

    Turmoil's in the air

    Hold your breath be deadly calm

    Make a final prayer

    Don't forget what you have done

    yes, I was maxed on everything in the workshop, since the update I have collected the favour upon completing an upgrade in the workshop

    I can also confirm the return of the this task since the mentioned update came out, and that it occurs even if you dont have workshop.

    As I was browsing the forum, I came across a message in other topic related to this new update, which enforces my stand on the subject.


    Infinite Horizons 2

    In the link above, one of us shared an information, mentioning how much upgrading spearman from level 31 to level 32 costs, and the mentioned cost is 350M gold and 73M crystal. Let's have in mind that you need to invest considerable amount of resources to reach the mentioned level 31, and also let's have in mind that there are over 10 types of units and over 10 types of ships.


    The question in order would be, how much gold and crystal would you need to complete all the upgrades if that is the cost of only one upgrade, and how much time would you need in to gather all that crystal and gold? The sum may be too large for something which is a daily task, considering there will come a time when you may need to spend months of collecting resources for one upgrade alone, and in those months you may lose 100 favor per time, or even 200 favor if you can finish the other 5 daily tasks. While it was quite possible to gather resources for even the most expensive upgrade in workshop in a day, before the update it was easy to do that task day-to-day if it shows up.


    Infinite Horizons 2

    Based on one other post I came upon in same topic I shared above, it appears that higher level than 32 will be possible for upgrades, which will mean more resource will be needed for an upgrade, and if I understood exponentially more than the level 32 we have information of, thus prolonging the remain of this task in daily task pool, If this were to happen.


    With the increase of number of available colonies and generally levels of all building, freighters, god's shrine, rework of military with these workshop upgrades, I think that Gameforge has been doing amazing things in improving the game and I hope they might consider reviewing how much it may eventually cost to do an upgrade in workshop at late levels, and the impact that may cause on finishing all 6 daily tasks, to an end of removing this item as a possible daily task.

    Regarding "improve something in the workshop" and it being removed because of 'high costs/time consuming collecting of needed resources' I very much doubt this will take place.

    We still have the "finish a research" or similar in the daily tasks which for many players is only seldom possible. We will just have to live with it I guess.

    If I'm getting it right, before the latest update it never happened with me, as a fact after missing few "100% daily achievements", this "task" made me to construct the workshop again.

    13.0.0 08.04.2025
    • Changes:
      • Preparations for the next update
      • Changed all the building costs/times for all buildings and mines
      • Changed the values of various building effects
      • Updated the tutorial to match the new building costs/times
      • Increased the base stats of all units and the Town Wall
      • Removed limits on unit improvement levels in the Workshop; each improvement will still require a certain minimum Workshop level
      • Added new improvements for Merchant Ships and Freighters to the Workshop
      • Improved the process when developing improvements in the Workshop with missing resources
    • Bug fixes:
      • Fixed an issue where the tutorial hand did not point at the Research button
      • Fixed display issues in the “Get Resources!” window when certain items were in the shop
      • Fixed an error where daily login bonus UI elements were in the wrong position

    Despite the statemen above, may be there are limitations for units too, since right now "Merchant ships and Fright ships" are not upgradable to lv 5 dew to workshop's "insufficient building level" which already is level 32.

    12 days since the release and none of my accounts that had completed all the unit upgrades have sent me the message yet.

    Maybe you didn't have all the units upgraded? If you go to achievements, does it show you the inventions at level 6?

    It impresses me.
