Landlord

Landlord is the only quest in Vettai that is not finished by anything you do in the city. It is finished by the chain.

What it would do

If the operator turns it on, every player gets a fifth quest that day. It is done when the treasury reads the player's wallet and finds an active stake of at least the configured minimum, which is 10 NIM by default. The reward is 0.2 NIM by default.

It is off until somebody turns it on

LANDLORD_ENABLED is false in the shipped configuration and in the deploy guide, so no landlord quest is generated at all. That is a product decision rather than a technical one: paying people for holding a stake is a different promise from paying people for playing, and it is not one the game makes today.

How it would be checked

Not by anything a client says. Once per UTC day, and once at boot, the treasury asks the node for the active stake of every player with an open landlord quest for that day and marks the ones at or above the minimum as done. From there it is an ordinary quest: you still sign a claim, and it still passes the three caps.

Two details keep it honest:

• Both the read and the update are filtered to the current UTC day. Without that filter one stake read would close every open landlord quest a wallet had left behind and pay several days of reward for one day of staking.
• The job is gated on the UTC day rather than on a 24 hour timer, so a restart cannot make a day run twice or skip it.

The call has been made

This is not an open question any more. Vettai runs on mainnet with LANDLORD_ENABLED=false, so the landlord quest is built and tested but never generated. Asking a player to lock up 10 NIM of their own to earn 0.2 NIM is a different promise from paying them for playing, and it is not the promise this game makes. The code stays in because turning it on is one environment variable for an operator who wants it.
