Gathering Quests

I think it's worth mentioning, that at least wood(don't know about rocks, but I assume they do the same) counts towards the quest's goal only if collected after taking the quest. Precollected wood doesn't work, sadly. I've found it the hard way. Blackraven6 (talk) 21:11, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Done! Thanks for pointing that out, since all the exploits were removed, it's an important thing to mention. margotbean (talk) 21:42, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Fishing Quests

I don't know if this is worth mentioning, but for the quests Biome Balance and Aquatic Overpopulation, if Demetrius requests a "basic" fish like Sardines, then switching to the training rod for the duration of the quest makes it go much, much faster.

Thanks for your effort to improve the Wiki. Please sign your comment using four tildes as shown in the header of this page.

For catching the less difficult fish, I've had success using Wild Bait and Dressed Spinner and casting into shallower water. I think the player's circumstances in the game affects how they go about any particular task, so specific "do this" can be misplaced. And it's only tangentially related to Quests. Perhaps there might be a place for something like this on the Fishing Strategy page, which tends to focus on hard to catch fish. Zendowolf (talk) 18:34, 12 June 2021 (UTC)

Aquatic Overpopulation

I think the Carp is missing in Quests#Aquatic Overpopulation (the fish is here in three other langages at least) but I don't know in which season it should go. Momoche (talk) 17:16, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

The data file SpecialOrders.xnb does not include Carp, so it should not show up in the quest. It should be removed from the other languages. Thanks for updating these pages, btw! margotbean (talk) 18:41, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Here is the relevant portion of the data file, it specifies which fish can be chosen in which season:

          {
            "RequiredTags": "season_spring",
            "Value": "PICK_ITEM Sunfish, Sardine, Flounder, Largemouth Bass, Halibut"
          },
          {
            "RequiredTags": "season_summer",
            "Value": "PICK_ITEM Rainbow Trout, Dorado, Tilapia, Tuna, Red Mullet"
          },
          {
            "RequiredTags": "season_fall",
            "Value": "PICK_ITEM Tiger Trout, Albacore, Midnight Carp, Salmon"
          },
          {
            "RequiredTags": "season_winter",
            "Value": "PICK_ITEM Squid, Perch, Lingcod"
          }

Special Orders Friendship Reward

I was unable to find the friendship reward amount in data files or game code for 4 special orders that specify "friendship" as a reward in the data file SpecialOrders.xnb. I was able to test 3 out of the 4 of them by comparing save files, and they each gave 250 friendship points. I was unable to test Pam's "The Strong Stuff" order (my current save is at the end of Summer), but it's fairly safe to assume the reward will be 250 friendship points with her as well. If anyone finds a different result, please edit the page or comment here! ...And if anyone knows where that value is set in game code or data files, please definitely leave a comment!
