"Contracts are a way to track the acquisition and progress of the quests they represent. A contract initially takes the form of a written parchment. These parchments can be found in various places in the game, but most often they can be purchased from contract brokers and barkeeps who sell them instead of rumors. Contracts help track quests, and sometimes they can lead you to quests.<br><br>
* The contact or quest NPC.
When you use a contract the physical parchment is consumed and the contract is added to a new panel grouped with your Quest Journal; the Contracts panel. This panel lists all of your Contracts, the progress of the quests those contracts represent, and additional information that is shown at the bottom of the panel. This additional information includes the name of the NPC that you might want to talk to, coordinates for the NPC associated with the quest, quests coordinates where you can start exploring to complete a quest (or the entrance to the dungeon that contains the quest) and notes about the quest that can be gathered from the contract itself.<br><br>
* The contact's location.
Your Contract list can track up to 50 contracts at one time. You can abandon a contract at any time to make room for other contracts. Abandoning a contract will not disturb or cancel your quest progress. To fully understand Contracts, players will probably need to realize that a Contract does not replace your tradition quests and timers. Instead a contract will help track them. If you abandon a Contract, for example, your quest flags are not deleted or replaced. If you pick up the same Contract for a quest at a later time and add it to your quest list it will essentially pick up tracking the quest in its current state.

In addition to help tracking your quests, Contracts will display a repeat timer for quests that have been completed. A contract will also display a timer for the few quests that have a timed requirement. The quest can also display the progress of kill tasks; gather quests, and the like.
 
The status of a contract can display one of three messages:
* Available (for a quest that you have yet to start)
* In Progress (a quest that you have begun)
* Done (a quest that you have completed)
