Quests

Quests are set objectives that provide rewards when completed. They're kept track of in the quest journal, which can be brought up by clicking the exclamation point icon at the bottom of the date/time display in the upper right of the screen, or by using the hotkey F. Current progress on a quest is shown under the exclamation point as items are collected. Quests are listed in the journal by title, and each quest can be expanded to read the text and requirements for completion. Clicking the X at the top of the window will close it and there's a button under the journal window to cancel the selected quest.

There are two major types of quests, story quests and Help Wanted quests. Story quests are typically received in the mail, but a few are automatically accepted at the beginning of the game to help teach the player about the game. Story quests can be completed at any time after receiving them; there is no time limit or expiration date.

Help Wanted Quests

Example of a randomly generated Help Wanted quest

Every day (except the first day of the game) the bulletin board outside Pierre's General Store may have a randomly generated Help Wanted quest that can be completed in exchange for money and sometimes increased friendship with the quest giver. When a new quest is available, the bulletin board will have a yellow exclamation point floating above it. Rewarded money depends on the number of items/monsters involved, the player's skills, and sometimes a bit of randomness. Once the player has accepted a Help Wanted quest they will have 2 days to complete it, the current day and the next.

If a daytime festival occurs during the 2-day period, it may not be possible to complete the quest on the festival day, since most shops and homes are "locked". See the Shop Schedules page for more information.

Achievements

There are 2 Achievements associating with completing Help Wanted Quests. Note that completing Special Order quests (both from Mr. Qi and in Pelican Town) count towards the required "Help Wanted" quests.

• Gofer (Complete 10 'Help Wanted' requests)
• A Big Help (Complete 40 'Help Wanted' requests)

Earning these achievements unlocks unique Hats at the Abandoned House in Cindersap Forest. In addition, the day after earning "Gofer", Lewis will send data-sort-value="500">500g in the mail. The day after earning "A Big Help", Lewis will send data-sort-value="2500">2,500g in the mail.

Types

There are 5 types of Help Wanted quests that can be posted. There is no penalty for accepting a quest and then not completing it.

Gathering	Clint will ask the player to collect copper, iron, or gold ores, usually 20-40, or coal for him to inspect, or Robin will ask the player to gather wood or stone. Items must be collected after accepting the quest. Items stored in inventory or chests will not work. It is not necessary to have the requested items in inventory to complete a gathering quest. Once the required number of items have been gathered (as indicated by the counter in the journal), simply talking to the villager who requested the items is sufficient to complete the quest.
Slay Monsters	Requires access to the Mines. Clint, Lewis, Demetrius, or the Wizard will ask the player to slay a random number of a specific monster. Once the required number of monsters have been slain (as indicated by the counter in the journal), talking to the villager who made the request will complete it. Note that a villager will never ask a player to slay a monster they do not have access to yet. For example, a quest to slay Shadow Shaman will never be asked until the player has reached at least floor 80 of The Mines.
Fishing	Demetrius or Willy will ask the player to catch from 1-5 of a specific fish from the current season, either to lower the population of that fish or to keep the art of fishing alive. The reward is the base sell price of the fish × the number of fish requested, and the player gets to keep the fish. Note that it is not necessary to have the requested fish in inventory to complete a fishing quest. Once the required number of fish have been caught (as indicated by the counter in the journal), talking to the villager who made the request will complete it.
Talking	Emily will ask the player to talk to all the people living in the town. Talking to Wizard, Krobus, the Dwarf, Sandy, and Leo does not count toward this quest. The player will gain 100 friendship points with everyone upon completion of this quest.
Item Delivery	This is the most common type of Help Wanted quest. Any adult villager that the player has met and can earn friendship with will ask for a random item for various reasons. This item can be: A crop, forageable, or fish from the current season. Items the player does not have access to will not be requested. For example, Sandfish will never be requested until the player has unlocked the Desert. Purple Mushrooms will not be requested until the player has reached floor 40 of the Mines. However, weather-dependent fish can be requested in any weather. A gem, once the player has reached the bottom of The Mines. A metal bar, if the player can craft a furnace. An animal product, if the player has an animal that produces it. Joja Cola, Seaweed, or Green Algae Villagers will reward the player with gold equivalent to three times the item's normal value, which may make Item Delivery quests a more efficient method of earning money from items than shipping them. The player also earns 150 Friendship points with the requesting villager for completing the quest, with the exception of divorced spouses. To complete an Item Delivery quest, the player must hand the item to the requestor. Simply having the item in inventory when talking to them will not complete the quest. Note that completing an Item Delivery quest does not count as giving them a gift. Note: Jas, Vincent, Krobus, the Dwarf, and the player's spouse will never make Delivery requests. Sandy will make Delivery requests once the player has unlocked the Desert. If the player has not yet met a villager that villager will not request any items. The chances of an "Item Delivery" quest being available do not increase as the player meets more villagers.

Prize Tickets

Warning: Spoilers   This page or section contains unmarked spoilers from update 1.6 of Stardew Valley. Players may want to avoid or be cautious toward reading this article/section.

Main article: Prize Ticket

On the top left of the Help Wanted board is a counter consisting of three stars. Once three stars are reached, the next quest will contain a prize ticket reward and the counter will reset. It is limited in terms of accuracy, because the player can have multiple quests active.

Prize Tickets can be exchanged for prizes using the prize machine located in Lewis's house next to the Town Ledger.

List of Story Quests

In addition to quests posted on the "Help Wanted" board, there are several Story Quests unlocked during gameplay. There is no penalty for accepting a Story Quest involving item delivery and then deleting it from the player's journal without completing it. Story Quests do not count towards the "Gofer" or "A Big Help" Achievements.

Note that the game adds 255 Friendship points for quests that say "1 Friendship heart", rather than exactly 250 points.

List of Quest Items

Quest Items are items that do not have any use outside of their intended quests, aside from occasional easter eggs.

They cannot be sold. If a quest item is lost, it can be retrieved from the lost & found box in Mayor Lewis' house.

List of Special Orders

The Special Order board in Spring.

During a cutscene that is available starting on Fall 2, Year 1, regardless of the weather, a special orders board is installed in front of the Mayor's Manor. This board has larger orders that would not be normally found on the Help Wanted board. Unlike Help Wanted requests, these orders are automatically filled without speaking to the requestor. Additionally, the special orders cannot be cancelled from the individual player quest listing, and time must be allowed to run out. Unless specified, the resources needed for special orders must be collected after the special order has been accepted. On orders that require the player to place items in a container, resources collected before the quest was accepted may be placed in said container, however, new resources must still be obtained. For example, 24 pre-acquired eggs may be placed in the Saloon fridge, but 24 more eggs must still be harvested afterwards to complete the order.

New special orders become available on Monday. The maximum timeframe for a special order, if it is accepted on the day it is posted, varies from 7 to 28 days, depending on the special order. However, the allotted time for a special order decreases every day regardless of whether it has been accepted by the player or not. Hence, if the player starts a special order with a maximum timeframe of 7 days on Wednesday, the time given for completion will only be 5 days. If the player starts a special order with a maximum timeframe of 28 days on the 15th day of a month, they will be given only 14 days to complete the order. The table below indicates maximum timeframes.

A new special order can be accepted each week, even if another one is still ongoing; multiple special orders can be active at the same time.

When doing a special order that requires shipping items, the player can ship the remaining items on the final day. The progress bar only tracks items shipped on previous days and this can create the impression that items shipped need to be shipped before the last day, but they do not.

The table below states whether special orders are repeatable after having been successfully completed. All special orders will show up again if attempted and failed.

If the player partially completes a special order but ultimately fails, the donated goods can be picked up in the Lost and Found box in the Mayor's house.

After completing a special order, the player can collect a Prize Ticket from the box next to the special order board.

List of Mr. Qi's Special Orders

On Ginger Island, after reaching 100 Golden Walnuts, is Mr. Qi's room. Inside, he provides a special order board similar to the one in town, which refreshes with two new quests to choose from every Monday. Quests will repeat over time, regardless of whether they have been successfully fulfilled in the past.

Quest Name	Quest Text	Maximum Timeframe	Requirements	Rewards
Qi's Crop	I've hidden Qi Beans throughout the world. Find them, grow them, propagate them, and ship 500 Qi Fruit within the time limit.	28 days	Ship Qi Fruit (500). Note: Ship using the Shipping Box for credit. Selling to Pierre does not count.	data-sort-value="100"> 100
Let's Play A Game	Think you can score 50,000 points in Junimo Kart endless mode? Prove it.	7 days	Score 50,000 points in Junimo Kart endless mode.	data-sort-value="20"> 20
Four Precious Stones	Find 4 prismatic shards. Place them in my collection box.	28 days	Collect Prismatic Shard (4). Must be collected while the quest is active.	data-sort-value="40"> 40
Qi's Hungry Challenge	Your task is to make it to level 100 in the Skull Cavern. However, you can't eat or drink anything while there.	7 days	Reach floor 100 of the Skull Cavern without consuming any food or drink items. This can be done using Staircases. While this quest is active, Big Slimes will occasionally spawn with a heart in them that will recover 10 HP when dropped. Another way to regain health during the quest without eating food is to use equipment with passive healing bonuses, such as the Vampire Ring, Fairy Box, or a weapon with the Vampiric enchantment. Buffs from food or drinks (better prepared with Qi Seasoning) consumed before entering the cavern stay active for their normal duration.	data-sort-value="25"> 25
Qi's Cuisine	Ship 100,000g worth of freshly cooked items.	14 days	Ship data-sort-value="100000">100,000g worth of freshly cooked items. Only items cooked after accepting the special order count, and these items have the word "Fresh" in front of their name. Two easy ways of completing this special order are: Buy or brew 669 Coffee (costing data-sort-value="200700">200,700g, if purchased from The Stardrop Saloon) and cook 223 Fresh Triple Shot Espresso. Grow 1667 Wheat, turn them into Wheat Flour (or purchase 1667 wheat flour, costing data-sort-value="166700">166,700g if bought from Pierre's General Store, or data-sort-value="208375">208,375g if bought from JojaMart), then cook 1667 Fresh Bread.	data-sort-value="25"> 25
Qi's Kindness	Give 50 loved gifts in one week.	7 days	Give 50 loved gifts in one week. One gift can be given to each villager per day (a total of two gifts per week, per villager), and there are a total of 34 giftable villagers. Therefore, this quest can be completed in at least two days by gifting all 34 villagers on the first day, then 16 villagers the next day for a total of 50 gifts. Tips  If done long before this quest, building a Deluxe Coop filled with rabbits for their universally loved Rabbit's Foot is a great way to gift every giftable villager in town (with the exception of Penny). Other universally loved gifts can also be used, but are much harder to get in massive quantities. Crystalariums can be used to make Diamonds, which are loved by 8 villagers. As for the other gems, all of them are loved by at least 3 villagers. The Prismatic Shard is a special case in that it is universally loved (apart from by Haley) but it cannot be replicated in a Crystalarium. Other items which are loved by at least 3 villagers and are also relatively easy to stockpile are Cactus Fruit, Chocolate Cake, Iridium Bar, Pink Cake and Pumpkin. Penny's hate of Rabbit's Foot can be easily bypassed by Poppy, as it is easy to produce and she is the only one who loves it.	data-sort-value="40"> 40
Extended Family	Family members of the legendary fish have returned to the valley. You have three days to catch Ms. Angler, Glacierfish Jr., Son of Crimsonfish, Radioactive Carp, and Legend II.	3 days	Catch Ms. Angler, Glacierfish Jr., Son of Crimsonfish, Radioactive Carp, and Legend II. They can be caught in the same locations as the older generation of fish but the fishing bar is not distinctly marked as it is with the original legendary fish. It does not have to be raining for Legend II to appear, as the original Legend. Note: The same level requirements for the original legendary fish apply for these fish as well. This means that it is impossible to complete this quest without either reaching fishing level 10 or getting there temporarily via Buffs, as that is the level requirement necessary to hook a Legend II, as with the original Legend. This Quest is impossible to complete during week 3 of Winter, due to the Son of Crimsonfish unable to spawn during the Night Market	data-sort-value="20"> 20
Danger In The Deep	The mine elevator system has been reset, and new dangers have emerged from deep underground. Make it to the bottom of the mines in one week.	7 days	Reach the bottom of the Mines in the Mountains. This can be done using Staircases. Note that this quest will also reset unlocked purchasable gear from the Adventurer's Guild.	data-sort-value="50"> 50
Skull Cavern Invasion	The Skull Cavern has been invaded by powerful monsters. Make it to level 100 in one piece.	7 days	Make it to floor 100 of the Skull Cavern. This can be done using Staircases.	data-sort-value="40"> 40
Qi's Prismatic Grange	Find 100 each of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple items. Place them in my collection box.	14 days	Place 100 x red, 100 x orange, 100 x yellow, 100 x green, 100 x blue, and 100 x purple items into Qi's collection box. Note that the quest is more strict than dye pots are. For a list of eligible items, see the bold items on the dye pots page. The items do not need to be collected while the quest is active. Deposited items will not be returned. Tips  The following items are easy to obtain, especially if the player has extra money: Red: Spaghetti from the Stardrop Saloon (Cost: data-sort-value="240">240g x 100 = data-sort-value="24000">24,000g) Orange: Copper Ore from the Blacksmith (Cost: data-sort-value="150">150g x 100 = data-sort-value="15000">15,000g) Yellow: Sap, or Hay from Marnie's Ranch (Cost: data-sort-value="50">50g x 100 = data-sort-value="5000">5,000g) Green: Fiber, or Salad from the Stardrop Saloon (Cost: data-sort-value="220">220g x 100 = data-sort-value="22000">22,000g) Blue: Joja Cola from the vending machine in the Stardrop Saloon or at JojaMart (Cost: data-sort-value="75">75g x 100 = data-sort-value="7500">7,500g) Purple: Bug Meat	data-sort-value="35"> 35

Trivia

• To fulfill Pierre's Prime Produce special order, you must harvest 25 gold-quality vegetables and you must place 25 gold-quality vegetables in Pierre's special bin. The shipped vegetables need not be the same items as the harvested ones, nor the same type of vegetables, nor all of matching types, nor even vegetables from the same season. All that matters is that you have counts of 25 harvests and 25 shipped.
• Produce harvested by Junimos will count toward the special orders' harvest only after the Player retrieves the items from the hut's inventory, produce that remains inside the hut will not be counted.
• There is an unimplemented quest reward in Data/Mail.xnb indicating Mayor Lewis would send data-sort-value="10000">10,000g apparently after completing 100 Help Wanted quests.
• If the player decides to purchase Joja Cola instead of Fishing for it, the cost for one can is 75g, exactly the same as the reward the NPC will give. Therefore, it will net 0 gold, although it might still be beneficial to do it for friendship points and progress towards a ticket.
• If you complete Jodi's Request and talk to Vincent the same day, Jodi will say that it will be useful for her yellow curry, and Vincent might say "Eww... it's boiled beet again."
• Items collected from a deconstructor are counted toward special orders. For example, "Robin's Resource Rush" can be completed quickly by crafting and deconstructing 20 wood chests.

Bugs

• Once the Dark Talisman quest appears in the Journal, visiting Krobus will make the quest disappear from the journal. It is not necessary to enter the Mutant Bug Lair, nor to get the talisman itself to complete the quest. However, these things still must be done to trigger the Goblin Problem quest, enter the Witch's Swamp, and meet the Henchman.
• A divorced spouse may make a "Help Wanted" request. When fulfilling the quest, the spouse will express gratitude before going back to the angry/hurt dialogue. Fulfilling a quest for an ex-spouse does not grant any friendship points with the ex-spouse.
• Mobile only: Wood or stone purchased from the Carpenter's Shop does not count towards "Robin's Resource Rush" special order.
