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.
