Gek "contracts" not counting for the quest

[RabbitCatRobot]

So am at the quest "patterns in time" where you have to do 2 Gek contracts, what I have done about 5 or 6 from the mission board and turned them in , yet it says 0/2 one. whats the deal? am i doing the wrong "Contracts" ?

yeah i had the same issue, i just ended up doing a whole bunch and slowly submitting them to the contract guy while i had the storyline quest open. It took me like 10 quests for it to accept just 2 of them.

Often there's only one Gek mission you can take on a given Gek mission board at time; usually it's the one at the very top of the list. If you accidentally picked some Vykeen, Korvax, or any of the three guild's missions, you will not get credit for completing them. It has to be an actual Gek mission. To tell the missions apart, look at the icons at the left of each listing. Gek missions will have a icon that looks kinda like a cartoon "duck-bill" to me.

yes I just noticed that, I thought all missions in Gek mission boards counted . thanks for pointing that out

[LazOfSteel]

Yes . Your doing the wrong ones. They have to be the ones for the gel not for one of the guild

[Mr. Bufferlow]

The only ones that count for a specific species are designated with their glyph. Beak for Gek.

It is a lot easier to just give them Gek artifacts...if you have some and they ask for it. Had a dry spell on Gek Nip.

Omg, why are they so cruel like this,., ?

[Callisto Prime]

I was able to fix this by making the mission active and then teleportaling to the base that has the crescent mission icon by it in the list. If the Gek mission agent had the crescent over their head, I spoke to them and turned in the mission. If the crescent was absent, I used the portal to travel to the same base. After a couple tries it worked.

Must have Gek symbols next to them & mission must be active.

All missions have very specific but easy-to-overlook symbols that are directly tied to specific groups. Always make sure you look up the guild symbol FIRST for any quest asking for a specific race or guild. Also, if you need to raise rank fast in order to take an ethnic group quest, plaques and monuments (in systems of the appropriate ethnicity) are easy to find and automatically raise rank, esp. if you've talked out the locals in the space station already.

If the quest is to increase standing, then you can just give them artifacts. I don't recall any missions telling you specifically to complete "contracts"
