COOPERATIVE QUESTS ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE REGULAR QUESTS. 

IN THE REGULAR QUESTS YOU NEED TO WORK EACH STEP YOURSELF OR WITH THE HELP OF LIFELINES.

THE COOPERATIVE QUESTS ARE COMPLETED BY CHECKING AND COLLECTING FROM YOUR NEIGHBOURS AND FRIENDS CO-OP QUESTS OR WITH THE USE OF THE HELP STICKERS.

YOU EARN COINS FOR COMPLETING A COOPERATIVE QUEST.

YOU CAN HAVE UP TO 5 QUESTS RUNNING AT ONE TIME DEPENDING ON YOUR LEVEL

BEGINNING 11/23/14, YOU CAN START A NEW CO-OP QUEST EVERY 10 HOURS AS OPPOSED TO EVERY 20 HOURS FOR THE REGULAR QUESTS

LEVEL 20   1 QUEST

OPEN YOUR TOOL BOX AND CLICK ON THE BLUE QUEST BOX, A NEW QUEST IS AVAILABLE EVERY 10 HOURS
WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE BLUE QUEST BOX IN YOUR TOOL BAG AND OPEN THE QUEST , YOU WILL SEE THE BLUE BOX IF YOU HAVE A QUEST READY TO START. IF THERE IS NOT ONE READY TO START IF YOU HOVER OVER THE PADLOCK IT WILL TELL YOU WHEN YOU CAN START THE NEXT QUEST. 
CLICK THE BOX TO START THE QUEST
FOR EACH QUEST, IT WILL SHOW YOU WHAT ITEMS YOU NEED TO PURCHASE EITHER BY BUYING FROM NEIGHBOURS/FRIENDS QUESTS OR BY USING THE HELP STICKERS.
 
ON YOUR NEIGHBOURS PICTURES AT THE BOTTOM OF FARMTOWN, YOU WILL SEE A BLUE DOT FOR THOSE WITH ACTIVE QUESTS.
CLICK ON THE NEIGHBOURS PICTURE AND FROM THE  MENU CLICK 'SHOW COOPERATIVE QUESTS'. YOUR NEIGHBOUR MAY HAVE  MORE THAN 1 QUEST RUNNING AT  A TIME, SO REMEMBER TO CHECK THEM ALL.
ONCE YOU COLLECT AN ITEM, E.G. SOYBEANS AND BLUEBERRIES,  YOU CAN REFRESH THE SAME QUEST  TO COLLECT ITEMS IN THE NEXT STEP IF YOU NEED TO (BLUE INK) .
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE QUEST BOX ON EITHER SIDE OF YOUR NEIGHBOURS PICTURE ARE ARROWS, CLICK THESE TO MOVE TO YOUR OTHER NEIGHBOURS QUESTS. YOU DO NOT NEED VISIT EACH NEIGHBOURS FARMS
THIS IS THE QUEST/S WE ARE TRYING TO COMPLETE. YOU WILL NEED TO VISIT YOUR NEIGHBOURS TO CHECK THEIR QUESTS TO LOOK FOR  ITEMS NEEDED FOR YOUR QUEST. 
AS   YOU GO THROUGH YOUR NEIGHBOURS QUESTS, YOU WILL SEE THE ITEMS YOU REQUIRE FOR YOUR QUEST WITH A 'BUY' SIGN , IT DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE TICK BESIDE IT. (The tick means that your neigbour has completed that part of their own quest).   CLICK ON THE ' BUY' TO PURCHASE THAT ITEM. 
WHILE CHECKING  YOUR NEIGHBOURS QUESTS YOU MAY SEE A 'SELL'  TAB WITH A YELLOW HELP TICKET ATTACHED TO IT. YOU CAN SELL THAT PERSON 1 ITEM ON EACH QUEST   AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THAT ITEM IN YOUR STOCK, YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE IT IN YOUR QUEST.
IN THIS EXAMPLE, YOU SEE THAT I BOUGHT THE IRON ORE AND CHROMITE ORE FROM A NEIGHBOUR, IF YOU LOOK  AT THE ABOVE PICTURE, YOU WILL SEE THE STAINLESS STEEL SHEET IS HIDDEN; THIS IS BECAUSE WHEN YOU FIRST BEGIN A QUEST, IT ONLY LETS YOU PURCHASE ITEMS IN PRODUCTION ORDER. TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THE ITEM FOR THE NEXT STEP FROM THE SAME NEIGHBOUR YOU NEED TO RELOAD THEIR QUESTS. (You can do this by going to the next neighbour, then return to open the same quest)
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE HOW YOU ARE DOING WITH COLLECTING YOUR ITEMS, YOU CAN CLICK ON YOUR QUEST TO CHECK WHAT ITEMS HAVE THE GREEN TICK BESIDE THEM
WHEN YOU HAVE CHECKED YOUR NEIGHBOURS QUESTS AND YOU STILL REQUIRE SOME ITEMS, THIS IS THE TIME TO USE YOUR YELLOW HELP STICKERS AS THE ITEMS NEARER THE END OF THE QUEST ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND. YOU WILL NORMALLY FIND THAT YOU HAVE STICKERS WHICH CAN BE USED ON AT LEAST HALF OF THE STAGES SO--THINK BEFORE YOU USE THEM IF YOU WANT TO COMPLETE THE QUEST.
WHEN A NEIGHBOUR HAS SOLD YOU THE PRODUCT THEIR PROFILE PICTURE AND A GREEN TICK WILL APPEAR TO SAY THAT STAGE IS COMPLETE. SOMETIMES, YOU MAY FIND YOU NEED ITEMS YOUR NEIGHBORS/FRIENDS DON'T HAVE, AND YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH HELP STICKER TO COMPLETE THE QUEST. YOU MAY PURCHASE ITEMS FROM STRANGERS (THROUGH FRIENDS, OR FROM THE MARKET) BUT WILL PAY 20 TIMES MORE THAN IF PURCHASED FROM A FRIEND.
YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE FINAL STAGE OF THE QUEST YOURSELF.

IN THE MARCH 2015 UPDATES S/K ADDED THE LINK TO THE FINAL STAGE OF THE QUEST TO TAKE YOU DIRECT TO THE FACILITY NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE LAST STEP. JUST CLICK ON THE OPEN TAB.
YOU HAVE TO START THE ITEM MANUALY IN THE FACILITY. NO START ALL BUTTON IS AVAILABLE TO FILL ALL ITEMS IN THE FACILITY. IF YOU NEED TO USE THE FACILITY FOR OTHER QUESTS EITHER THE REGULAR OR THE COOPERATIVE DO NOT FILL ALL ITEMS AT THIS STAGE, JUST WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THIS PARTICULAR QUEST.
JUST CLICK THE 'X' TO CLOSE THE FACILITY BOX TO RETURN TO YOUR QUESTS.
ON RETURNING TO YOU COOPERATIVE QUESTS YOU WILL SEE THAT THE FINAL STAGE HAS ALREADY STARTED.
WHEN THE QUEST IS COMPLETE CLICK ON THE COLLECT COINS TAB. 
ON COMPLETION OF THE QUEST YOU WILL BE AWARDED COINS - THE TOTAL WILL VARY DEPENDING ON THE QUEST
YOU CAN EARN FC BY COMPLETING  COOPERATIVE QUESTS, YOU CAN SEE HOW MANY YOU HAVE COMPLETED AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR QUEST BOX. YOU CAN ALSO CLICK ON THE SHOW QUESTS TO SEE HOW LONG IT IS SINCE YOU COMPLETED THE FIRST QUEST

TIPS TO HELP YOU WITH THE QUESTS

   
1 Do not use the stickers until after you have visited your neighbours quests. You only have a limited amount of stickers
2.  Check that your neighbours are actively playing Farmtown, to do this go to the Neighbour tabs in Farmtown then select 'Activity''. CLICK HERE. To see how do it. If a neighbour has not been active for 28 days they also do not count towards your fuel supply when you refuel
3 If you are not neighbours with a friend, to check there quests go to your neghbours tab and just click their picture and it takes you to their farm.
4 If you manage to get an item from a neighbour e.g. soybean and blueberries, reload their quests then you can get the yellow ink etc.
5 You can purchase items from people who are not your neighbors but it will cost you 300x the market value to do this
