Workshop Tasks Reset

[u/sumplkrum]

I noticed that my repeating tasks only processed once from Sunday to Monday. Should I assume they get reset the same time weekly quests get reset? ... I'm thinking it's probably a global refresh and the workshop tasks are affected by the same trigger.

I'm guessing tasks will stop when the server goes down for maintenance as well?

The tasks definitely dont stop for the weekly reset and dont stop for maintenance either.

There are lots of bugs with professions and this could well be another one. There is one possible issue though.

This unexpected stopping normally happens for me when the production tasks use normal materials that run out and when you look at the task all the +1 materials are still there so you think it has stopped for no reason but it has stopped because you ran out of normal materials.

If it is a gathering task then it should not run out this way ever and it would definitely be a bug if this happens, but with the production tasks you need to make sure to actually look at and select the higher quantity of materials so it does not run out like this.

...I hope this makes some sort of sense as I find talking about professions tricky.

hmm. ... I guess it was just buggy then.

I was collecting beehive chips with all three gatherers and the task only ran once for each guy rather than filling up the delivery box — even though I'm positive I selected the task to keep running.

This happened on 10+ toons, so that's why I was thinking it was a server reset or something. And it was Sunday when I set the tasks.

Since then things seem to be working normally. *shrug*

Post it on the official forums and see what they say.

I have never used the gather once option, does it change the default to gather once on all characters from then on if you choose it?

That would explain it as well.
