Malachite or more unordinary stones?

[CourageDearMars]

I’ve completed the first dungeon (which I guess means that I’ve cleared all of the rooms, opened all treasure chests (which drop gems and unordinary stones), and the first boss. So I earned the ruin for the second dungeon. To open it, I need a water sap. For that type of tree, I need to craft a special tap and the recipe requires 1 malachite. Malachite didn’t drop for me as I was clearing the dungeon. Now, since I have opened all of its treasure chests, it is not clear how to find more gems or unordinary stones to break open for the chance it’ll drop malachite. Maybe the answer to this is much simpler than I’m finding, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m soft locked. Where else can I find a source for unordinary stones?

Hey, if you have discord, please join this server:

And follow this link afterwards where I describe where you could get unordinary stones daily:

But what should be happening is you should already have a delicate tapper by this time.
Did you complete the Tapping Kit quest from Tobias? If so, when you bring Tobias a Maple Syrup, he will give you a Delicate Tapper, which you can use to easily get this quest item.

This quest line may be unintuitive and may not happen the way I was planning it to, so I will revisit this and make the process a lot simpler.

Thanks a lot!

It's incredibly unintuitive how the quests link up like that. After the fact it makes sense and it works well to push progression along, but I was grinding malachite in the first dungeon to make the tapper while I was still generating the maple syrup. The whole sequence can end up being a season+ of waiting with no clear direction how to move things along.

I see. That promise to Tobias didn’t stay on my quest list after he gave me the first tapping kit, I’m like mid-Autumn now so I forgot about it until you mentioned it here. Thanks, and will join the Discord.

I also agree with this feedback, it has been my experience with some of the quests. I’m still enjoying the game A LOT, I really love it, but I’ve gotten “stuck” a few times because the solution was unintuitive or the quest narrative just hadn’t played all the way out yet.

And also, the grinding takes a looooonggg time and requires resources that aren’t abundant.
