Red Dead Online Daily Challenges

Today’s Daily and Role Challenges – 16 August

Here are today’s Red Dead Online daily challenges and role challenges, along with quick guides for the individual challenges and a general guide to help you get today’s challenges done quickly.

Daily Walkthrough

Starting in New Hanover today folks!

We can start at Emerald Station for the challenges today. We can pick oregano, get some goats and prairie chickens, then look for train clerks. Let’s get into it…

Oregano

Start off at Emerald Station. Open your map and look at where the words Emerald Station are on the map. There is a patch of oregano just below the first letter ‘T’ in the word Station. There is another patch just past the letter ‘N’ at the end of the word Station, and then turning north there is another patch just past the letter ‘D’ at the end of the word Emerald. There should be more than enough plants here to pick the five needed to complete the challenge.

Alpine Goats

Alpine Goats are the domesticated goats in the game you find on farmsteads and ranches. Ride down to Emerald Ranch from Emerald Station. There are goats in the same pen as the chickens, next to the largest barn. If you are lucky, there will be two in there and you can complete the challenge. Another good place to look for a goat is outside Joe’s cabin. You can find his cabin just to the east of Emerald Ranch. Ride between the two spots until you have managed to get both the goats needed for the challenge.

Prairie Chickens

Ride back south into the Heartlands and hunt for Prairie Chickens. Near the letter ‘H’ at the beginning of the word Hanover on the map is a good place to hunt them. East of Emerald Ranch is another good spot. There in the grass at the eastern end of Twin Stack Pass too. Shoot and skin three of them as you spot them.

Train Clerks

There is a Train Clerk at Valentine Station who you can speak to and he will give you a mission. If there isn’t a clerk at Valentine then try Wallace Station or Emerald Station. You can spot them because there is an orange stranger mission type marker at the station. Speak with one of the clerks, accept and complete one of the available missions.

Animal Claws

Travel to Manzanita Post in Tall Trees. There is a Grizzly Bear at Bear Claw in the south of the region and there is also a Black Bear that roams around a bit further north. Search around the area for one of the bears and then kill it when you see it. Skin the bear to get a claw, then take the claw to Gus in the south of Tall Trees, or over to the Butcher in Blackwater and sell the claw.

Finishing Off

Posse Up and have the leader start some Posse Races. Complete three races then head into a Showdown to get the melee kills. That’ll do it for today…

Good Luck out there!

Quick Guides

‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪2 ALPINE GOATS KILLED – Alpine goats are domestic animals so look at Ranches or Farms Rathskeller Fort in New Austin is also a good location.

1 ANIMAL CLAWS SOLD – Bears and Badgers will all give Claws. Take the claw to a butchers and sell it. I’ve heard Talons also count!

5 OREGANO PICKED – Oregano is a common herb all over the map. A good spot to get all 5 is along the north bank of the Dakota River just round the bend from Caliban’s seat.

3 PLAYER KILLS WITH MELEE IN SHOWDOWNS – I recommend defensive ability cards for this one if you have them. You will have to be in the lobby before the match starts for the kills to count. Try and get melee kills during the match

3 POSSE RACES COMPLETED – This is started from the Posse Vs menu. Join or start a posse of more than one player and have the leader startup the races. Complete three of them to tick this one off.

3 PRAIRIE CHICKENS SKINNED – Prairie Chickens can be found in the Great Plains and The Heartlands, usually flying over head. Shoot 3 of them and skin them.

1 TRAIN CLERK MISSIONS COMPLETED – The Train Clerk is one of the strangers who issue free roam missions. He can be found at major railway stations. Simply visit him, accept and complete the mission he gives you.

What are Daily Challenges in Red Dead Online?

Red Dead Online Daily Challenges are a set of tasks that change every day at 6am UTC. Challenges include things like killing three players with a rifle in showdowns or skinning an alligator. There are 7 general challenges and up to 3 Role specific challenges per Role. The payout for completing these challenges is 0.1 gold per challenge. There is also a bonus of 0.3 gold for completing all of the general challenges and 0.3 for completing 9 of the role challenges. The role challenges are capped at 9, even though there are potentially 15 available challenges. The best thing about daily challenges is you can earn a multiplier by completing at least one challenge a day. Building a streak will reward you with up to a 2.5x multiplier. So for completing all challenges you can earn a staggering 5.5 gold a day!.

0-7 Days (no multiplier): 0.1 gold per challenge, 2.2 bars max
8-14 Days (x1.5 multiplier: 0.15 gold per challenge, 3.3 gold max
15-21 Days (x2.0 multiplier): 0.20 gold per challenge, 4.4 gold max
22-28 Days (x2.5 multiplier) 0.25 gold per challenge, 5.5 gold max

As you can see, this is an excellent way to earn gold, especially if you can dedicate a month to play every day. If you were to max out all 7 regular challenges every day for a month you would have 49 gold bars form just challenges alone. That’s enough to buy all three Frontier Pursuits Roles. Or put another way, almost $20 of real world money.
