What does this setting do?
The format is hours:minutes:seconds; the default 23:59:59 is effectively one day. After this time SCUM resets the counters: anyone who had exhausted their quest allowance with a trader may accept again.
Together with the number of quests per cycle, this value produces the quest income per day. Halve the cycle and you double the income without touching a single quest limit — a connection easily overlooked.
Which value suits my server?
Relaxed PvE
12:00:00. Fresh quests twice a day.
Classic PvP
23:59:59 (default).
Hardcore
23:59:59.
What to watch out for
It acts like an income increase
A shorter cycle raises money in circulation just as higher quest limits do. To keep the economy in hand, change only one of the two.
