I posted this possible solution in another listing, but others commented afterwards, and I’m concerned some people who may be interested in trying this didn’t get the opportunity to read it – hence the new post.

I had the same issue as many of you with both the Guardian Quests and Desk Guardians – no reset for GQ and high hours on next GD. I used this solution on DG for a while but haven’t bothered with it much as DG rewards aren’t, in my opinion, worth the effort.

When the issue with the GQ happened, I tried it again just to see what would happen and Hey Presto it worked first time. Second day it took a couple of tries and today it took 4 attempts, but I eventually got it.

THE SOLUTION -

Ø  Reduce the game size and set it so that GQ and DG are out of sight slightly so that you can still collect trophy rewards.

Ø  Calculate the number of days/months you need to go back to cancel out the time required for DG and add 5 or 6 weeks.

Ø  TT back a little bit further than needed - I usually go to the first of the month in question or sometimes the first of the previous month depending on how close I need to set to the first. Usually I just go back to the first of the previous month.

Ø  Send out 5 or 6 weeks of gifts.

Ø  Open the gift box on send and minimise the screen

Ø  Reset the clock to auto sync and wait for it to reset to today. You can of course change the clock yourself to today’s date, but I have found that a lot less effective.

I get the impression that GQ is tied to DG as whenever it resets DG, I also get the GQ games back for that day.

Some things I should point out

Ø  the timer will start to count down when you finish GQ and next morning it will reset again to 24 hours on the GQ and untold hours on the DG.

Ø  It will probably increase the waiting time on DG – I’m now between 7000 and 9000 so I am often going back as far as March last year.

Ø  It can take several attempts and is not guaranteed to work every day.

Ø  This was done on a PC so I have no knowledge of if or how this would work on other devices.

I have only done this with GQ 3 times since it started due to RL issues, but personally I feel it is worth a try as it only takes minutes or sometimes just seconds – if it works great, if it doesn’t all I’ve lost is a very small amount of time.

Best of luck if you give it a go.
