Researching Puni Quest Help
In the free DLC area there is a quest called 'Researching Puni.' You are supposed to get gold puniballs from a small area but I can't seem to find the puni or make them spawn. For whatever reason it has to be in the quest area so the nearby (but out of range) gold puni don't count. What do I do?

I had trouble with this as well but what you have to do is inside the area, a single gold puni will spawn as a random monster quest as "The Usual Monster?" to hunt down. However only a single gold puni will spawn and you need three gold puniballs. So going back to the Atelier and sleeping to the next day will usually respawn the random monster quest.

Me personally, this was a pretty dumb way to handle the quest, I wish the puni was just there as normally.

That's so annoying, I guess I'll just fast travel back and forth.

Do you have to rest at your bed to get the quest to spawn?
HeroSusRage68 Jul 18, 2023 @ 7:37pm 
Yes that what I meant by sleeping to the next day, by resting in your bed.

Maybe my game is bugged but I have slept in the bed, teleport to the nearest landmark, run around the area. Still nothing, I have been at it for about 3 hours and not even on puni.

Unless it was in a recent update, there are re spawnable Gold Puni in that DLC. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3006820920

The issue is the gold puni don't count unless they are in the quest zone.

Oh, I see. Thank you for explaining that. It is just that when I did a search on google for Gold Puni, the only info I could find at this time was that they could only be obtained from keys with the rare monster trait, which is not true because of this DLC.

Just did that quest, and yes, VERY annoying. Took about 20 sleeps to get that particular random quest to pop three times. The funny part was there was one random quest during doing that where you had to follow a bird to get treasure, and in one of those 3 chests that spawn from that quest, inside the "researching puni" quest zone was a Gold puniball, which did not register. In other words, it HAS to come from that "Chase down the Puni" random quest to register.

Did you sleep at the nearby campfire or go all the way back to your base?
harrisone16 Jul 19, 2023 @ 10:41pm 
Because I have done a combo of both over 75 times and haven't gotten it once...

I warped back to the base, then slept, then warped back to the shrine. If the random quest was not the one I needed, I warped back to the base and repeated. Sorry to hear you are having so much trouble with that quest, RNG can be really nasty some times.

Just got some info from gamefaqs. Apparently, you can rebuild your atelier with the higher random quest rate effect if you do not currently have it configured that way.

I have a similar problem and unfortunately I haven't found a solution yet.
I have been trying my luck for more than 6 hours now and have no success with the random quest.
I have now tried several pieces of advice from various forums, but nothing seems to work.

Resetting the quest in which I ported back and forth does not work.
Also the key with summoning a rare monster only gets me 3 or 4 different monsters, but no golden puni.
I have tried it at different times of the day, set up my Atelier with the appropriate bonus and the only random quest that pops up is, a rainbow bird that takes me to 3 treasure chests, in one of which is a golden puni ball, but it doesn't count for the quest. Can anyone help me out here?

Is there such a thing as the "ultimate hint or tip"?

Or I am just out of any pissible luck here?
