Taskman Tutorial: Passives

Passive tasks are not optional. In fact, completion of a number of them are required to progress between each tier. They are located in the Passive tier, which you may have noticed at the end of the tier list.

Anatomy of passive tasks

• The tasks in the Passive tier follow the standard Taskman rules, but they have a unique feature; you can complete them even when they're not your active task.
• You cannot work on a passive task unless it offers experience relevant to your active task. For instance, if your active task involves gaining Fishing levels, you can't complete a passive task that requires Mining. Remember one of the key rules we discussed above!
• Many passive tasks don't require any experience, or award solely combat experience, and these can be worked on and completed at any time (provided they cannot complete tasks in the active tiers). This is particularly true for some minigames like Castle Wars.

Passive tasks are necessary to advance to the next tier, so don't overlook them!

Working on a Passive Task

Let's focus on a passive task now: "Taskman Tutorial: Passives." The task description will guide you on how to complete it.

• You might wonder, "How do I complete this if it requires farming experience?

Farming is unique because a significant portion of the skill can be trained passively due to the time requirements involved.

• We don't want you to roll a task that would take 10 real-life hours to complete without being able to play your account.
• Go ahead and do as much of the task as you can, and proceed to the next section.

Timegating

Many tasks will require real-life time to complete during which it is impossible to actively progress your task. These can range from waiting for your kitten to grow up to fulfill a task to waiting for a tree to grow for a task.

• When a task demands a significant amount of real-life time to finish, you have the option to timegate the task.
• Timegating a task involves marking the task as completed, even while you are still waiting for it to finish. As long as you've completed every aspect of the task that's possible before timegating, you can mark it as complete.
• Just remember to return to the timegated task later to actually complete it!

Once you have fully completed "Taskman Tutorial: Passives", and not just timegated it, you can now complete the passive task "Complete the Taskman Tutorial." You can find this task by searching for it, or manually finding it in the passive task list.
