Finish the task within 2 hours. A completed reward remains claimable until the wipe. Claimed contract cooldown: 30 minutes. Cancellation cooldown: 5 minutes. Final claim eligibility is checked by the game server.

A qualifying accepted BlackBox contract is completed with /contract claim and counts toward completed contracts. Without one, a win counts as an event and its reward is recorded automatically in the protected delivery queue. The reward amounts are the same; a saved receipt does not confirm physical delivery.
