What is a Task?

EFT-Kappa tracks task progression in Tarkov, a task is a quest. These terms may be used interchangeably.

Task Status

A task can have three states:

  • Active
    • A task is considered to be active when it is not Completed or Failed in Tarkov
    • All tasks start as active, you do not need to meet the prerequisite requirements or level requirements for a task for it to be active
  • Complete
    • A task is considered to be complete when it is Completed or Failed in Tarkov
  • Ignore
    • A task that is ignored is special and does not correlate to any state in-game
    • Ignoring a task will remove it from formula calculations on the EFT-Kappa site
    • A special event task chain for pre-wipe is a good example for why you would ignore a task
      • A temporary task from an event may be picked up by EFT-Kappa, and it could persist well beyond the lifetime of the task in-game

Task Status and the UI

Setting a task's status will impact different UI elements in specific ways. Generally active tasks are shown on all pages and complete/ignore tasks will be hidden. Most pages will provide the ability to filter out information based on task state.

  • Dashboard
    • All complete and ignore tasks are hidden in the dashboard
  • Task Item Page
    • Items will be hidden if they are a requirement for a complete or ignore task
  • Task Graph
    • Tasks will be hidden by default if they are complete or ignore
    • You can toggle a setting to show complete tasks
    • you can toggle a setting to show ignore tasks
    • The UI will do its best to resolve broken prerequisite chains for complete and ignore tasks
