One of the easiest ways for your builder to make money in their new home in is to accept as many commissions as they can. Commissions are requests for products that have been left at the Commerce Guilꦺd by the townsfolk in Sandrock, asking for various items in varying qualities in exchange for Gols – and reputation points.

Be sure to comb through the commission b🌃oard daily to see which tasks you’re up to completing, as commissions are not only a great way t൩o earn cash, but they’ll help improve your relationships with the people of Sandrock.

What Are Commissions?

In My Time at Sandrock, Commissions are optional quests your builder can accept that see them making and delivering all manner of items for the people of Sandrock.

Your neighbors can ask for just about anything, from processed resources to Assembly Table builds to cooked dishes, and when they have something they'd like, they'll leave a request for it at the Commerce Guild.

When you enter the Commerce Guild, on the wall to your immediate left is a bulletin board showing the available commissions for that day. Simply hover over a commission, read its details, and accept any you can manage within their time limit.

Once you accept a commission, you can track it if you need to. Commissions are marked in your quests menu as green dots with white exclamation marks.

Tracking a commission will allow you to follow a map marker directly to the person who posted the commission once you're finished, so you never have to guess where you're turning anything in!

Every commission completed rewards you with relationship points with the person who posted the request, reputation points for your workshop, Gols in amounts that vary by difficulty, and occasion🥂al bonus perks as well.

Every Commission Has A Deadline

When looking at the commission posts, you'll see a clock icon underneath the name of the object being requested. Beside it, the post keeps track of how much time you have to finish this commission.

Lower-level commissions have faster turnaround times than their more complicated counterparts, as it's unlikely you'll need much time to source an early-game resource. These are most typically simple commissions that involve processing parts or scrap for your neighbors.

Some may have as few as 24 hours before the deadline, so be wary♏ when a🐼ccepting commissions late at night!

Meanwhile, time-consuming tasks have deadlines further out. These will most frequently be long-standing tasks that t𒁃ake time to comple🌠te, or ones that require more involved materials to make. Tasks like making machinery or growing crops are tough to do in just a couple of days!

When accepting timed commissions during festivals, be mindful that the deadlines are often far more severe - the festival isn't being moved just because you didn't finish a decoration in time.

Below the client's name, you'll also see the exact time and date the commission expires, which should help you plan your c🎃ourses of action for the ne🧸xt few days to ensure the commission is turned in on time.

What Are Building Commissions Versus General Commissions?

When checking out the commission board, you'll see your potential quests designated into two categories: the Building Commissions first, followed by a page of General Commissions.

Building Commissions require your machinery at the Workshop. These often see♈ you either refining raw materials into useable parts for your neighbors, or possibly even building them entire machin🍎es of their own.

Meanwhile, General Commissions can center around fishing, planting, and more. You'll often see requests for specific crops, meals, or fish on this tab.

Commissions Have Various Difficulties And Require Different Product Qualities

Noted by the small banner on the request post itself on the bulletin board, commissions are ranked for difficulty based on what they're asking for and which quality the end product needs to be.

The difficulty levels are:

• A bronze banner with one star are easier commissions that require little to no mid-game machinery or functionality to complete.
• A silver banner with two stars denotes a commission that's a bit more challenging, as it often requires more advanced techniques or machines.
• A green banner with three stars is given to commissions that are meant for later-game players, as you'll often need far more materials, advanced machinery, or end-game gear.
• A purple paper is a limited-time commission, and these are typically only posted around festival times.

Sift through the commission board each day to see which quests you're capable of doing, and be sure to accept as many commissions as you feel comfortable completing.

Just keep in mind, though, that some commissions require higher-quality goods to complete. It's not enough to simply make the product, it needs to be made well.

Double-check the quality standard requirements before accepting a commission, as you'll likely not be producing many high-quality products until later in the game.

You can research t൲he blueprint for a Ref𝓰iner at the Research Center, which can boost the quality of a finished item and help you finish that tricky commission.

Raise Your Workshop Level To Accept More Commissions

At the beginning of My Time at Sandrock, you can only accept one commission at a time. It's a limit set to get you familiar with the commission system, but you'll inevitably feel comfortable taking on more work as you grow more familiar with the game.

If you want to take on additional commissions each day, you'll need to raise your Workshop's level. This is done by not only completing the main story quests, but by finishing commissions in a timely manner.

Workshop evaluations take place at the end of each season, and once your level has gone up and the new ranking has been posted on the board at the Commerce Guild, you'll be able to accept more commissions.

• Coming in second or third allows you to accept two commissions at a time.
• If you should oust Yan and place first, you'll be able to handle three commissions at a time instead.

Though it may be frustrating to wait, the good news is that you'll have the entire season to work steadfastly on commissions. Be sure to always deliver on time (early, if possible) and with the right quality, and you'll be accepting more commissions in no time.

Not Completing Or Canceling Commissions Hurts Your Relationships And Workshop Reputation

When you accept a commission from the board, the NPC who posted it is, apparently, immediately notified, since you lose relationship points with the person who posted a request if you don't finish it before the deadline expires.

Similarly, you'll also face this penalty for manually canceling a commission if you realize you can't finish it or have accepted it by mistake.

Not only will your relationship with the poster take a hit, but your Workshop reputation goes down a bit as well, which is a bit tougher to recover.

Therefore, you should only accept commissions you're really confident you can finish in time! It's better to not accept the commission than to accept it, cancel it, and lose relationship and reputation points.
