sprites on islands? +Mounts

[queer_gleam]

I keep seeing unattainable sprites with the acorn things I'm supposed to give to the statue. They're in the middle of ponds or below a cliff with no way around/down. Any way to get these or are they messing with me?

Do I have to feed the mounts? I'm losing it with the garbage stamina but just feeding the chicken they foisted upon me is taxing.

You can feed them and pet them, I think each animal once a day. I just load up on the mushrooms and apples I find. I’ve been eating and giving everyone apples. So far they are a hit with people and animals alike lol

I can't be certain but I believe that you might not have to feed pets/mounts. I have a fox and a horse who haven't run away after several days of only petting them. Still no clue about the out of reach sprites

By the time we find out what gets us access to those sprites, we're gonna have a massive stamina/bag boost, cause most gold sprites I've seen are on those islands, and are NOT hard to re-find.

Not sure if you already discovered it but you have to wait for certain seasons to reach the ponds. Winter will create a way and summer drys them out. When they're available, you can see them on the map 😉

And for the mounts.. yes, you have to feed all your animals. Sometimes when there's weed near your barn they eat it themselves.

They’ll feed on the weeds on their own if you let them out of the barn using the Graze option or will they only eat it if you use them as a mount and dismount them and leave them standing next to a patch of weeds?

They only eat from animal feed, grazing only improves mood

Yeah, I understand that but the part where they said they’ll eat weeds, do they only do that if you let them out using the Graze option or will they eat the weeds if you use them as a mount and get off them and they are just standing there waiting for you to remount them?

I'm not sure about the mount tbh.. I just accidentally observed my cow and my sheep eating the weed next to the barn 🤔

Okay, that’s a different story then as those are animals you can only call out using the Graze option. Your leading there with “mounts” in your original statement is why I brought this up to begin with here.

I could see mounts eating the weeds as well if called out using the Graze option. However I was only interested in knowing if this was the case after calling them out as a mount to begin with. Not sure if the programming logic that Graze utilizes in the game still works and kicks in if having whistled and called out any of our mounts without them having been called out using the Graze option to begin with?

Like maybe if they are standing idle waiting around to be ridden again, after waiting so long will they start eating the weeds on their own at some point? 🧐
