Daily activities

Resource tax

Collect the day’s free tax on the resource you choose.

What it does: Collects the day’s free tax at the Market on the one resource you chose. One run takes all the free taxes.
Where: Instances ▸ your instance ▸ Duties ▸ Daily activities ▸ Resource tax ▸ Task setup. Click the name, or the sliders button at the end of its row.
You need: The Market mapped in City Mapper. The switch on and the instance running.
When it runs: Once a day, at a free moment between your plan tasks.

The Market gives you a few free taxes each game day. They are one shared pool, spent on whichever resource you tax. Evonex walks to the Market, opens Tax and taxes your chosen resource. The game’s amount window opens already set to the whole pool, so a single run takes every free tax.

Set it up

Open the instance and click Duties. Find Resource tax under Daily activities.
Click Resource tax and open the Task setup tab. Pick the resource in Tax which resource.
Click Done, switch Resource tax on and start the instance.

Resource tax’s Task setup tab. It has one choice.

Settings

Tax which resource

Food, Wood, Stone or Ore. The free taxes are one shared pool, so one run takes all of them on this resource, and the other three rows ask for gems until the daily reset. The four give nearly the same, so pick the one you prefer. Gems are never spent. Default: Food.

Reset task settings

Puts this tab back to its shipped settings and closes the window. It asks first. Your schedule stays as you set it.

Schedule tab

The other tab holds the timing. It works like every daily activity’s schedule — Daily activities explains each control. Resource tax starts on Once a day, with Run before plan tasks off and Retry when it fails at 3 tries a day.

Record line, Reset records, Done

At the bottom of the window. The record line says what Resource tax has done today. Reset records makes it forget its turns, so it may run again today. It asks first, and nothing changes in the game. Done saves everything and closes. The ✕ or Esc closes without saving.

How it runs

Evonex walks to the Market and opens Tax.
It reads the four resource rows. A row with a Tax button still has free tax. If all four ask for gems instead, the free pool is used up.
It taps Tax on your chosen row, then Tax in the amount window. The game has already set that window to the whole free pool.
It checks that the row stopped offering Tax. If it still does, the turn counts as failed.
Then it backs out.
In the Activity Monitor on Overview the row is Collect the resource tax. The header names the resource, for example Collected today’s free tax on Stone. When nothing is left it says Today’s free tax is already claimed.
The small gift beside Resource tax’s name shows whether the game counted it. See Claim activity rewards.

Resource tax is free. A row that asks for gems is read, never pressed.

Problems?

It says the free tax is already claimed, but I never taxed today.

The free taxes are one shared pool. If anything was taxed today — by you, or by another instance that plays the same character — all four rows read as claimed.

Can it tax more than one resource a day?

Not for free. A second tax would cost gems, and Evonex never pays.

The Activity Monitor says no resource was picked.

Open Task setup and choose a resource under Tax which resource. This kind of failure is not retried, so fix it first.

The Activity Monitor says it couldn’t reach the Tax window.

The Market is probably not mapped, or something covered the screen. Check the Market in City Mapper.
