Ghosts?

[Fizzbiscuts McGuffin]

So I'm in a biome that has ghosts showing up and giving me quests in my glades but I can't seem to finish the quest. One seems like it needs some clearance water and 2 level 3 hearths (literally still year 1 my first glade I opened here) do I HAVE to do both for a reward? It seems pretty dumb to have such high demands for quests like this especially right next to my starting point. Like the water is easy and the question mark says I can do 1 or the other but I can't seem to complete the request even with the water

Yes...thats the haunted modifier
Most ghosts won't do anything if you just ignore them, some have nice rewards and others can kill your villagers (they will be clearly marked, you won't miss those lol)
Basically, just ignore it if you cannot do it.

Yeah, you'll need to fulfil both the resource requirement and the request; for this reason, ghosts typically have a longer timer than other glade events.

Once you've fulfilled both requirements, the button on the ghost's panel changes to 'Calm Spirit'; click that and it'll drop you a chest to open (no tools required, just open it!)

I do like that modifier it's kinda fun just wish some of them wouldn't be so hard early on. Or impossible for some. The impossible ones wouldn't be so bad if they weren't the red ones half the time

This is pure random "additional reward" in the cursed wood.
It is not usually we can get all reward also.
I would say 50-60% is what you can get, which is already seriously good enough.

The game don't has anything about "early/late difficulty".
Example if you open a forbidden glade, then it will just roll from the pool.
Same as ghost request regardless of your current year.

See, it is things like this. No, it is not dumb that you got a bad roll. You got a bad roll. It is not "high demands" or "so hard" or "impossible". It just happens that you don't have the resources to complete this one in time (a lot of the time, you can complete it if you decide to focus on it).

It is no different than opening any dangerous glade early. Cursed woodlands biome just mixes things up a little with increased risks and rewards; you know that going in, and it is your choice whether to try and settle there or not.
