Robert

Robert is asking for an item he couldn't find himself, or maybe there is more to it? Bring Robert what he requested on the digital board. The requirements of this quest will change, as each character has a different list of items they can potentially request. The number of items will also vary within a range specific to that item. This also means the reward for this mission varies based on the specific item and amount of items requested.

The bulletin board can be found to the right of Chip's Canteen on the plaza deck (04). Every few days the bulletin board will have a marker above it, letting the player know there is a new request to pick up. There are three types of bulletin missions: to kill enemies, to find a certain type of microbe, or to bring various items to the character who posted the request.

Overview

1. Pick up the quest from the bulletin board.
2. Obtain the requested item(s).
3. Turn in to Robert

Walkthrough

Bulletin Board

When this mission is selected, the player will see a generic bulletin request that says:

Hey Guys,

I can usually acquire what I'm looking for, but it would help me out if anyone could lend me these items.

-Robert

Each character has a pool of several items the bulletin board mission can potentially ask for. The quantity requested for each item is unique to the item requested, the player will always get a number within this request range. The reward range in the below table is calculated off of the quantity requested range. The player can calculate their specific reward using this formula: $(itemBuyValue*quantityRequested)+20=creditReward$

Item Name	Request Range	Reward Range
Neptunian ale	1	90
Meteorite extractor	1	540
Aluminium	2 - 5	68 - 140
Jute	2 - 4	116 - 212
Pepper	1 - 3	60 - 140

Active

Once the quest is active, the player will need to gather the requested items within the designated time frame. The player can open the mission log, on the left side of the screen, at any time to check their progress. Once the player has gathered enough of the requested items, the mission log icon will have a green check mark on it. It is suggested the player confirms they completed this specific mission, as the green check mark just tells the player that one of their current missions are complete.

If the player speaks with Robert while this mission is active, he will say:

So you're the one who picked up my posting.

I guess we all need help from time to time, right?

Turn In

Once the player has obtained the requested item(s), they need to return to Robert. When the player speaks with him, the quest will automatically turn in and he will say:

Hey, this is just what I asked for.

Much appreciated.

The player will then automatically obtain their  credits reward, based off the number of items requested.
