Open the panel before you grind
Press T. Open Statistics. Open Act Milestones. Newcomer 1 and Cleaner Rank 1 both live there. They are not givers on the quest list. The cleaner role on the hiring page is the employee who sweeps. Cleaner Rank is the milestone named after that work. Mixing the two is how a search for “rank 1 quest” lands on the wrong UI.
The thread that walks through a stuck Newcomer 1 says one tier item is not enough. Story progress, the rank itself, deliveries to the undertaker, and deliveries to the doctor are listed together. The author’s counts are ten and ten. The 1.0 notes mention goal text of five bodies and five patients. Both strings are public. I will not decide that one of them is a typo.
What I will not fill in
Sweep counts, dirt thresholds, and Rank 2 requirements are not in that thread and not in the hotfix. The hotfix does say chapter progress is food, drinks, sleep, and a reputation update. That is a different meter from Cleaner Rank, and it is written up on chapters. If your milestone list shows a blank Rank 2, that matches the sources I have, not a missing paragraph on this page.
Questions players actually ask
How do you reach Cleaner Rank 1?
The milestone thread says a tier wants several things at once: story progress, Cleaner Rank 1, ten bodies to the undertaker, and ten more to the doctor. The 1.0 notes also mention objectives worded “Bring 5 bodies” and “Bring 5 patients.” I am not merging 10 and 5 into one number.
What about Rank 2?
I do not have a separate source for Rank 2’s conditions. The cell stays empty rather than a guess.
