Gamepass quests Microsoft Redeem points

theteal · 06-05-2021 9:34am

How's everyones tally at this point?

Since I hit my 117k target, commitment has dropped and I've lost my daily streak a few times on the reward site - I've not actually done the mobile searches in a while come to think of it. In spite of that, I just noticed that I'm just shy of 143k as of this morning.

With the complete lack of Xbox X stock on the MS site I'm now considering Currys vouchers. I need 150k for £100 (whereas that would get me £125 in MS vouchers

) Not that I've been following the stock situation at Currys but I do think the chances are quite a bit higher just from comments I've seen posted around.

Worked for me yesterday just before the football kicked off. I just ran around whacking them with the stick. . . .until it broke

Sorry for the possible stupid question but I've never played minecraft.
I've been following Rewards Hunters guide on the quest for it, but mining doesn't appear to be working for me.

The blocks start to break up the smallest bit but never enough to give me the resources.
Any help would be appreciated

Sounds odd, like you keep whacking the wood on the trees ya? Eventually it disappears and you see your wood inventory go up down at the bottom right.
If you are following Rewards Hunter you only need about 7 wood to craft the 2 swords... 3 is better

Alternatively maybe just go around and whack then with a stick, it'll take longer but still works. Did you use the cheat code?

I went for the two achievements and killed some zombies on the way. Got the achievement for getting to rangers cabin then another one then left and whacked a few more, only when I got the achievement for something else did the quest also pop.

Do it in creative mode, you won't get achievements but you can spawn any weapon you want and the zombies (nature tab) Takes 2 minutes to kill 20 that way. Just dig a hole thats 2 blocks deep and spawn them in there so they don't run off.

Weekly Treasure is there today

Treppen · 07-05-2021 10:25am

All game quests done for this month AMA :pac:

My remote install still doesn't work though!

BTW another one for achievements is Undertale .
Some parts require a bit of time but others it's just a minute between each. Here's the guide.

Game is less than 200mb in size. Not sure if the achievements are available on PC version.

Supposedly there is a 10k punchcard up in the rewards app for some but I'm not seeing it.

The previous times this wasnt available in Ireland, I don't expect this one to be any different. I don't have the time/interest to commit to it like before but I'm sure I'll pick up a few points inadvertently

Yep, unfortunately, it's not available here.
For those abroad, it's a handy one because it's usually not an 'all-or-nothing' 10k. It'll reward you for any gamerscore you receive up to 10K.

marcbrophy · 12-05-2021 8:58pm

I just got my 2,500 bonus points for a 40 week streak!
Closing in on being able to afford 3 X €25 vouchers now

Still no sign of that damn wireless headset being available from MS store though

theteal · 13-05-2021 9:56am

I'm really kicking myself. I had the XSX in my cart on the UK MS store the other night but I just hadn't got my ducks in a row ready for it. I have Currys vouchers that have been long earmarked to buy xbox gift cards that I've simply procrastinated on. As I've just pushed on with the rewards I knew I was 2 days shy of having enough for 5 * £25 gift cards there too - in saying that, I did start cashing them in but the process has a few steps to it so I decided to revert and wait. I'm getting my shiz together today and will be ready for the next stock arrival.

Currently bashing through Rain on my Parade (I think it's called) for achievements, quite a fun little game.

It turned out I was pressing and releasing the mine button cause I didn't know you had to hold it lol..
So stupid on my part but live and learn

marcbrophy · 20-05-2021 7:21pm

Just redeemed 2 x €25 and 2 x €10 rewards, to get €70 off the Wireless Headset

I was still a few points short of that 3rd €25 rewards and the headset came back into stock!

Now, what's next to start saving for?

theteal · 21-05-2021 9:56am

Yeah as the SX has popped up for sale a couple of times in the last week on the MS site, I've had a gamble at cashing mine (5 * £25). The 90 day clock is ticking but I am fairly confident - as mentioned before, if I had my stuff ready I would have got one last week. I now have £440 sitting in my MS account - very content that none of it cost me any actual money but that last £10 I have to pay is irking me (maybe she's right, maybe I am a skinflint afterall!)

If, Santa forbid, there is a threat of the £125 expiring, I think I'll just spunk it on an Elite controller

Anyway, apparently I first signed up for Rewards 3 years ago today, there was 500 points waiting for me on the web page.

marcbrophy · 22-05-2021 12:49am

500 points for an achievement in one of 10 Bethesda games!

Only another 5 more years of doing every single quest then I might be able to contribute towards an X with my points.

The status page says it "Up and Running" but it still won't launch for me!

25-05-2021 9:13pm

Handy ones this week, both games you just need to launch Star Renegade can be done from XCloud in the browser if you have access to it. Only a 3 gb install otherwise.

Treppen · 26-05-2021 7:04pm

Gone back to killer instinct on Mobile again for the daily 50 amem.
Win game for every player is all done.

Next is get every player up to level 3 to get the stylish/color achievement , which is basically win another match (sometimes 2) on top of what you already have.

Then back to day of the tentacle or undertale when finished.

Anyone doing the separate Xbox ambassador missions? It's a bit of a chore but just clicking on the mission usually gives you the points straight away. I'm not far off a month free ultimate.

marcbrophy · 26-05-2021 9:44pm

The gardens between is a really handy one for daily's!
17 achievements, so will keep you going for over 2 weeks!
Or if you want to splurge for a quick 1,000G it's less than 2 hours playtime

Never even heard of this one :eek:

Darren 83 · 27-05-2021 7:01am

Is it possible to redeem enough points to pay for ultimate each month? I’ve 22,000 points but might hold off until I have enough for the three months ultimate.

So looking at earning 35,000 points every three months?

Not in Ireland anyway. Doing everything would get you about 5-6K a month.

When is your Ultimate running out? Have you read the other threads on stocking up on the 3 years of Ultimate?

I started out hoping to pay for 3 months but my Ultimate wont be up for a while so I just kept clocking up the points. Might just keep going for the X console for a few years if I can get the Ultimate Stack up trick to work.

It'll take a lot of clicks to build up to the free month of Ultimate, and it resets if you don't make it. but there's no quests just click on the missions link and you get the points.

I just pay 12.99 a month, I’ve done the stocking up so don’t think it will work again.

Others say it will but you won't get to use the €1 offer, just the regular gold, then add ultimate... Or use Brazil....or something :pac: I'm not exactly sure

28-05-2021 8:17pm

It's in the sticky at the top of the forum, I've gone again with it. Second time out insteam of the €1 off you use a month of GPU to convert the sticked years of gold membership.

The Outriders quest doesn't seem to be tracking for me.
Anyone know of a solution?

recyclops · 03-06-2021 4:45pm

unsure how you played it but I just booted up an expedition and it logged as soon as I got 30 kills

03-06-2021 9:26pm

I did in an expedition also, wasn't really keeping count but popped as I was playing (on console)

Quests and tips for completing them and /or avoiding achievements here https://www.trueachievements.com/n45700/xbox-game-pass-quests-guide people report problems with the Outriders one there

One of the daily quests is worth 20 points this week, so thats a nice bonus.

Treppen · 04-06-2021 11:38am

What are yis doing for Human Fall Flat, it's a bit different to last time in that it's climb instead of travel a distance. Any obvious climbing levels?
Can't stand that game so will have to persuade the kid to do it.
I think last time if there were 2 players you could half the distance needed!

John Horgan · 04-06-2021 11:53am

Have a look at Rewards Hunter on YouTube, he usually has all the guides, especially for games that have come up before, so theres new solutions.

I think it's the first of second level where there's a dumpster at the start.
You basically move it out of the way of the door, but keep it against the wall.
Climb up on the dumpster, climb up on the wall behind it, come back through the door and repeat.
Think it takes about 10-15 rounds to pop.
That's how I remember doing it before anyway

exactly the plan I'd suggest (If you're selecting levels it's the first Train level) works like a charm.

Expeditions are end game content, so you won't be able to use them unless you've finished the story.

I'll keep tipping away but by no means as attentively as I was from Sept to April. For example, I've not done any mobile searches since I hit my stated target and also gave last months 10k challenge very little effort. I'm already back to 14k since I "cashed out". I never did the 2 accounts thing
