Contracts Xterium— missions for rewards

Contracts in Xterium are missions that offer rewards. You accept a contract and complete its objective within the allotted time: deal damage in combat, go on an expedition, gather resources, defeat bosses in the “Hostile” sector, and more. Completing contracts rewards you with resources, dark matter, fleet units, and points.

Contracts come in three durations—short (about 30 minutes), standard (about 60 minutes), and long (about 90 minutes), as well as varying levels of difficulty (the more difficult the contract, the less time you have, but the greater the reward).

The contracts here are grouped by target sector: Expedition & Ruins (flights and gathering in the Endless Expanse and Ruins), Barbarians, Pirates, and Devastators & War (combat, war points, and PvP). Contract difficulty is shown with stars (1–3). Tap a card to see the contract objective.

Contracts are tasks you take on and complete for a reward. Any contract grants points and a random prize — resources, fleet, dark matter, or a bonus. The same contract comes in three lengths: quick (1★), normal (2★) and long (3★) — the longer it is, the bigger the goal and reward.

What rewards you get

For every completed contract you always receive points and experience, plus two random prizes from one group. What exactly drops is up to chance, but the odds are known:

Contract pointsalways · grow with star

+ 2 random prizes. First one reward group is chosen at random (all groups are equally likely, but resources appear in most groups — hence 67%), then two prizes drop from the chosen group. Within "Fleet" and "Defense" all three rewards drop roughly equally.

Special "parts" contracts — 15% of all contracts

About one in seven contracts gives fleet upgrade parts from the Arsenal instead of resources, fleet and defense. Here is what such a reward can contain:

Star ore is the rarest prize among resources.
