Travel Log

The Travel Log is a feature introduced in the 3.5.1 update of Plants vs. Zombies 2. It tasks players with completing quests such as unlocking a certain plant or world, or defeating a number of zombies. The player is then rewarded with Coins and Gems for completing these tasks. It also uses a ranking system to give the player a rank before the 5.6.1 update, which is then scored in Game Center or Google Play under the name of "Travel Log's Plank Ranks"

Update history

  • 3.7.1: New repeatable quests have been introduced in order to give challenges to players that already completed all the primary quests. Those are completed by defeating X determined zombies and by beating levels on Endless Zones.
  • 4.0.1: The player can play a Piñata Party level featuring a premium plant to "test it out" for free. Once completed, the player will be awarded 10 points and a money bag (if one counts the bag awarded through clearing the level, alongside money from lawn mowers)
  • 4.5.1: The Travel Log could be accessed through the main menu.
  • 4.7.1: New repeatable quests have been added for the Frostbite Caves zombies. Also, the quests for completing the number of levels in Greatest Hits, La Brainsa Tarpits and Highway to the Danger Room have been added.
  • 5.3.1: The Travel Log's look has been changed, it now contains a list with check boxes on the left nailed to it. Though there is text present on the list, what it says is unclear as its present is in the form of squiggly lines.
  • 5.6.1: Rank system and primary quests are no longer available. However, repeatable quests now gives coins when completed, up to 3000 coins. Repeatable quests now have a time limit of 24 hours.
  • 5.7.1: Repeatable quests now gives piñatas that contain coins and seed packets that would help you level up your plant. They also have a time limit of 4 hours. However, for some reason, the repeatable quests in Jurassic Marsh would give you 5 Gems instead.

  • 6.1.1: Repeatable quests are restricted to one at a time, but give you the same amount of packets as they would before this update. In addition, more Leveled Up Plant trying quests, Plant Epic Quests, a Severe World Level quest, and a gem quest were added to the Travel Log. These can be played every day or week.

Repeatable quests

Three new quests appear every 4 hours (requires internet connection), usually in the same world (but sometimes different), and each quest awards one piñata of the corresponding world. Each piñata contains either 25, 50, 75 or 100 coins, 6 to 8 seed packets of two plants (3 to 4 for each plant), with a chance to award 5 bonus seed packets of a random premium plant, even those that are currently not available.

Epic Quests

Main article: Epic Quests

Introduced in the 4.6.1 update, the Epic Quests consist of a 10 or 5 level quest that offers an exclusive reward when completed, that can be either Gems, coins or new plants, like Gold Bloom and Electric Currant. These levels are modified versions of existing ones, and cannot be replayed once completed.

Premium Plant Quests

These are levels comparable to Piñata Parties that usually take place in the Player's House, but can be anywhere. They are available to play once a day and are usually Special Delivery levels, but can also be Locked and Loaded. They always feature at least one Premium Plant for use and used to give 10 points upon completion, but now just give a Money Bag.

Leveled-up Plant Quests

It is similar to the Premium Plant Quests, but it uses plants with high levels. All quests so far uses Player's House and Ancient Egypt plants and all are featured in Ancient Egypt - Day 20. After completing the level, it will give you a Pinata with the given seed packet is depending on the leveled-up plant used.
