Daniel the Tavern Keeper
Rest in the Inn button
Daniel, the Tavern keeper, welcomes everyone to The Tavern and offers to let you Rest in the Inn. Simply press the button at the bottom of his dialogue box and enjoy your vacation. On the app, go to Settings or Tavern and then click Rest in the Inn; this functions in the same way as on the website.
Daniel will then show you this helpful message that explains how resting in the Inn works:
"You're resting in the Inn! While checked-in, your Dailies won't hurt you at the day's end, but they will still refresh every day. Be warned: If you are participating in a Boss Quest, the Boss will still damage you for your party mates' missed Dailies unless they are also in the Inn! Also, your own damage to the Boss (or items collected) will not be applied until you check out of the Inn."
Avatar Changes
The avatar of a player who is resting in the Inn
While you are in the Inn, Habitica alters your avatar to show that you're resting. Your avatar's eyes will close and "Zzz" will be displayed. If you're using the Data Display Tool, it will show "Zzz" as well.
Dailies, Habits, and To-Dos
Reminder shown when you are resting in the Inn
While you're Resting in the Inn, a reminder will appear at the top of your Dailies column to remind you of your status.
You will not lose any health or Streaks for Dailies that you do not complete. If you are on a boss quest, you will not cause damage to your party for Dailies that you do not complete.
However, you still have the option to check off Dailies if you want to. Any Dailies you do complete will still earn immediate gold, XP, and mana, as well as a chance of a Drop. Dailies will become unticked every day as normal.
In other words, while resting, you get credit for completing Dailies, but do not get penalized if you don't. This is useful for when you want to keep track of some of your Dailies while on vacation or recuperating from illness.
You can also click on Habits and To-Dos while you are Resting in the Inn. To-Dos and positive Habits will still earn immediate gold, XP, and mana, as well as a chance of a Drop.
While you are Resting in the Inn, values of Habits and To-Dos will not change when you log in for the first time after Cron. This means that To-Dos and Habits will not get redder or yellower.
Cron
Resting in the Inn prevents most normal Cron processes from occurring. There are three notable exceptions:
- Drop count will still be reset to zero at normal Cron time (allowing you to find more drops today even if you reached your drop cap yesterday),
- All buffs (including cosmetic buffs such as Snowball) will still expire at normal Cron time.
- Boss damage from other party members' missed Dailies will still be added at their normal Cron (see below).
One normal Cron process which does not happen while Resting in the Inn is the change to task values. Normally after Cron, To-Dos get redder, incomplete Dailies get redder, and habits with only one button get more yellow. While Resting in the Inn, this does not happen. (Task values will still change normally in other ways, for example they will still change when a habit is clicked or a spell affecting task values is cast.)
Checking Out of the Inn
Check Out of Inn button
When you want to return to your active life, click on the "Check Out of Inn" button. On the website, this button is on the Tavern page; on the mobile app it is under Settings or Tavern.
Habitica will awaken your avatar (it will remove the Zzz's and open the eyes).
If, while checked in, you complete some Dailies after your most recently elapsed Cron, those Dailies will still be checked off after you check out. Dailies will reset at the next day turn-over, as normal (see Cron).
Resting in the Inn while on a Quest
Warning: If you are resting in the Inn when you are part of a boss quest, the Inn will shield you and the rest of your party from damage from your own uncompleted Dailies, but you will still receive damage from the boss if other quest participants do not complete all of their Dailies.
If you must rest in the Inn while on a quest, examine your health regularly to ensure you are not close to death!
While resting in the Inn, you will still accumulate progress on your quest as normal; however, that progress will not be applied to the quest until Cron runs on the day after you check out of the Inn.
You can still send, accept, or reject quest invitations while resting. If a quest finishes while you are resting, you will still get the rewards.
Information for Developers
A player who is Resting in the Inn has preferences.sleep set to true in their data. When not resting, it is set to false.
Cron code that runs while at the Inn:
Current version of file: common/script/index.coffee
Regardless of the player's sleep status, all code at the start of the cron block runs. If the player is Resting, the cron code is halted by a
return wrapped inside an if statement that tests for the value of preferences.sleep.
