So, for about two days I was not really paying attention to the tasks on Farmville Tropic. The tasks can be accessed by selecting the clipboard usually located on the lower lefthand corner of the screen.
When you select the Clipboard, a screen similar to the following will pop up...
As such, each person has a Quest for you to complete. These Quests can usually be completed without intention by filling orders on the Guest Orders. If you select the person, the details of the Quest are given as well as the reward that you will get if you complete the Quest.
When you complete the Quests, the Quest will have a "Complete" sign on the individual.
***Important: if you want to get your reward and get more Quests, you need to select on the completed Quest and claim your reward.*** I was being silly and for the first two days of playing this game I just thought "cool" I completed the Quest, guess I don't need to do anything else... WRONG!!
So, once I selected the "Completed Quest", new Quests popped up to be completed and the madness of Island fever continues.
