{{for|other uses|Quest (disambiguation)}}
In [[Bloons Card Storm]], '''Quests''' are objectives that can be completed to earn rewards. Quests can be accessed from the main menu. As the player progresses a quest, its progress increases, and its rewards can be collected once fully completed. Quests were introduced in the [[Bloons Card Storm Full Playable test|Full Playable test]].

'''Quests''' are objectives in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'' that can be completed to earn rewards. Quests are accessed from the main menu. The game tracks progress towards all active quests and displays any quests that the player has made progress on at the end of a match. Once completed, the player can claim a quest's rewards. The player cannot make progress towards quests in the [[Tutorial (BCS)|Tutorial]], [[Training]], or Private Matches. Quests were introduced in the [[Bloons Card Storm Full Playable test|Full Playable test]].


There are two types of quests: Daily Quests, which reset daily, and Weekly Quests, which reset weekly. <!--There is a bug where players that log in between 8 hours before reset and the daily reset will have infinitely refreshable daily quests, letting them infinitely repeat quests and reroll their objective until the next daily reset. This was patched 6-7 hours before the daily reset on 28-29 Nov.--> Daily Quests reward {{BCS mm|20|name=y}} and 150 [[Token (BCS)|Token]]s of a random type, while Weekly Quests reward {{BCS mm|150|name=y}} and 1,000 Tokens of a random type.  
There are two types of quests: Daily Quests and Weekly Quests. Each quest type has three slots, and the player can have up to two quests per slot (one active quest and a second quest that replaces it once completed). If a quest slot has two quests, the player can remove the active quest (even if it is already complete) to replace it with the next quest. Daily Quests are unlocked each day at 8:00 AM UTC and reward {{BCS mm|20|name=y|link=y}} and 150 [[Token (BCS)|Token]]s of a random type (prior to Full Playable test, each Daily Quest rewarded amounts of Monkey Money, but the same amount of Tokens). Weekly Quests are unlocked every Monday at 8:00 AM UTC and reward {{BCS mm|150|name=y}} and 1,000 Tokens of a random type.


Each quest type has three slots. There is a reroll feature for quests that can be used even when quests are completed, but rerolling is tied with the daily/weekly reset timer. Quests can only be progressed by playing in [[Duel]]s, [[Ranked]], or [[Amelia's Adventure]], and will not progress in private matches or [[The Basics]].

Daily quests reset each day at 8:00 AM UTC. They reward {{BCS mm|20|name=y}} and 150 [[Token (BCS)|Token]]s of a random type. Prior to Full Playable test, each daily quest would reward different amounts of Monkey Money and no Tokens.<!--assuming fpt had no token rewards; the page not mentioned it-->

==Tips==
==Strategy==
{{BCS last updated|6.2|section=y}}
The general strategy for completing quests is to grind multiple games on [[Amelia's Adventure#Prologue|Prologue of Amelia's Adventure]] or the [[Daily Challenge (BCS)|Daily Challenge]]; those game modes have more leniency to focus on grinding quests, unlike in [[Duels]] or [[Ranked]]. Create decks specifically catered to grinding quests, and adapt them based on the type of quest(s) available. [[Striker's Adventure]] can also work for quests that involve grinding general quests.

Amelia, Zee Jay, and Mountain Obyn should never be used, since none of them can contribute progress for this Quest.
