FAQ

Q: Do I have to wait for my daily rewards to reset to benefit from the multiplier? 
A: No. The daily goals multiplier should be applied as soon as you claim your rewards from the relevant Syndicate tier. However, the multiplier will not be applied if you have tiered up after you completed a daily reward that you have not claimed yet.
