Positive Habits will provide you with rewards, like Gold and Experience (Exp), while Negative Habits will cause you to lose health points (HP).\n\nDailies are repeated tasks you want to complete on a more structured schedule. For example, once per day, three times a week, or four times a month. Missing Dailies causes you to lose HP, but the more difficult they are, the better the rewards!\n\nTo Do’s are one-off tasks that provide rewards after you complete them. To Do’s can have a due date, but you won’t lose HP if you miss it.\n\nPick the task type that best fits what you want to achieve!", "faqQuestion26": "What are some sample tasks?", "webFaqAnswer26": "Positive Habits (Behaviors you want to encourage; should have a plus button)\n\n * Take vitamins\n * Floss teeth\n * One hour of studying\n\nNegative Habits (Behaviors you want to limit or avoid; should have a minus button)\n\n * Smoking\n * Doom scrolling\n * Biting nails\n\nDual Habits (Habits that involve a positive vs. negative option; should have both plus and minus buttons)\n\n * Drink water vs. drink soda\n * Study vs. procrastinate\n\nSample Dailies (Tasks you want to repeat on a regular schedule)\n * Wash dishes\n * Water plants\n * 30 minutes of physical activity\n\nSample To Do’s (Tasks you only need to do once)\n\n * Schedule appointment\n * Organize closet\n * Finish essay", "faqQuestion27": "Why do tasks change color?", "webFaqAnswer27": "The color of a task is a visual representation of the task’s value. All tasks start as yellow for neutral, blue is better, and red is worse. Here’s how each task type determines the task’s value:\n\nHabits become more blue or red based on whether you tap the plus or minus button. Positive and negative Habits degrade to yellow over time if you don’t complete them. Dual Habits only change color based on your inputs.\n\nDailies change color based on how often they are completed, becoming more blue as they’re completed or more red if they’re missed.\n\nTo Do’s gradually get more red the longer they stay incomplete.\n\nThe more red the task, the more Gold and Experience you’ll earn for completing it, so be sure to take on even your toughest tasks!", "faqQuestion28": "Can I pause my Dailies if I need a break?", "webFaqAnswer28": "Yes! The “Pause Damage” button can be found in Settings. It will prevent you from losing HP for missed Dailies. This is helpful if you are on vacation, need a rest, or for any other reason you might need a break. If you are participating in a Quest, your own pending progress will be paused, but you will still take damage from your Party member’s missed Dailies.\n\nTo pause specific Dailies, you can edit the scheduling to make it due every 0 days until you’re ready to restart it.", "faqQuestion29": "How do I recover HP?", "webFaqAnswer29": "You can recover 15 HP by purchasing a Health Potion from your Rewards column for 25 Gold.

You can rebuild by completing tasks and leveling up again.", "faqQuestion31": "Why did I lose HP when interacting with a non-negative task?", "webFaqAnswer31": "If you complete a task and lose HP when you shouldn’t have, you encountered a delay while the server is syncing changes made on other platforms. For example, if you use Gold, Mana, or lose HP on the mobile app and then complete a task on the website, the server is simply confirming everything is in sync.", "faqQuestion32": "How can I choose a class?", "webFaqAnswer32": "All players start as the Warrior class until they reach level 10. Once you reach level 10, you’ll be given the choice between selecting a new class or continuing as a Warrior.\n\nEach class has different Equipment and Skills. If you don't want to choose a class, you can select \"Opt Out.\" If you choose to opt out, you can always enable the Class System from Settings later.\n\nIf you’d like to change your class after Level 10, you can do so by using the Orb of Rebirth. The Orb of Rebirth becomes available in the Market for 6 Gems at level 50 or for free at level 100.\n\nAlternatively, you can change class at any time from Settings for 3 Gems. This will not reset your level like Orb of Rebirth, but it will allow you to re-allocate the skill points you’ve accumulated as you’ve leveled up to match your new class.", "faqQuestion33": "What is the blue bar that appears after level 10?", "webFaqAnswer33": "After you unlock the Class System, you also unlock Skills that require Mana to be cast.

Partying with other Habitica players is a great way to take on Quests to receive Pets and Equipment, receive buffs from Party members’ Skills, and boost your motivation.\n\nAnother way to increase accountability is to join a Challenge. Challenges automatically add tasks related to a specific goal to your lists! They also add an element of competition against other Habitica players that may give you a motivation boost as you strive for the Gem prize. There are official Challenges created by the Habitica Team as well Challenges made by other players.", "faqQuestion43": "How do I take on Quests?", "webFaqAnswer43": "To begin a Quest, you will need to be a member of a Party.

Complete your tasks as you normally would to progress on the Quest! You’ll either build up damage against a monster if you’re taking on a Boss Quest, or have a chance to find items if you’re taking on a Collection Quest.
