I've been a daily player for a year. You set an activity in game, then your daily steps grant you progress. I set it to cut trees, and it gathers wood. Then I travel back to town, get the hemp out of the bank, and make bow strings. Then I craft a bunch of hunting bows and hope I get one with extra bonuses. Then I equip the bow and go hunt wolves.

It makes it so that you look forward to your steps each day and can plan out your game progress based on how much you walk.
