Change quests locking out companions

[BbyGurl_6969 ♡]

Being soft locked out of Chocoat/Hello Kitty constantly because of a quest missing tons of supplies making it unable to use their companion abilities is a horrible mechanic. Please fix this. We should still be able to use them for crafting. I am soft locked out of choco AGAIN for 50 magma plants which will take ages to get myself after having the same issue with chocolate/iron before with him. HK and Choco are two of the most important characters for companion abilities and being unable to use them for an extended period of time is very poor game choice.

Yes please. I got locked on the quest to craft the crafting table. Had to wait to use Chococat for his bonus. I didn't get to use him at all to craft that table. I do hope they change this in the future. For those who have not encountered the quest, make sure you have everything to craft the table before you start it.

You don't have to wait to use Chococat. You craft without him.

Sure you may get a bonus if you choose to have him in your "party", which is optional.
I'd say, plan better, or don't rush the game. wait for daily resets. take your time

That's what I'm saying here. I always use chococat for the bonuses. The problem is you start a quest and most of them are easy and quick to do. Every now and then you have a craft quest for Chococat that takes several days if you don't have everything right away. You can't really plan for that unless you follow a guide that will ultimately ruin the experience to a point. I don't wish to spoil everything and most players are not going to use a guide. Most players will be caught off guard for that quest and won't get their bonuses from Chococat until they complete it.

I know you can keep crafting without Chococat but it sucks that you lose out on all the extra material you could have been making just because he can't be following you during the quest.

Yep! Thats the one that locked me out too! I finally finished it and now i'm locked out AGAIN! It's unreal

Fully agree that it'd be great to ensure characters don't lock us out of using them (or lock us out of unrelated quests). I'm currently locked out of multiple quests/characters because of Mr. Chococat.

To not spoil for others, this is post-workbench quest. He asked me to craft something, which I did, and immediately upon completion he said, "Hey, let's craft another one of these!" I was like, "heck no, not now - I'll leave it for later." Except now there are 2-3 other unrelated quests that can't progress because he's involved in them, plus I'm locked out of using any characters involved in those quests because they're standing at the quest starting point and are "busy", so I'm forced to complete Chococat's quest first.

It's going to take me 3-4 days to collect enough materials (and finally be able to do the other quests), as one material only spawns 15 at a time and I don't have a ton because they're also used in crafting loved items to boost friendship. Using blossom bouquets seems like a total waste just to collect enough of this one material, as I don't have time to run around the island repeatedly to take advantage of using the bouquets. (And, much as I'm loving the game, I wouldn't want to do 4 resource runs in a row, heh.)

I thought they patch fixed this quest to not lock out now?

This is annoying. Especially, because I crafted a rain stone for the Aquafaller and then Chococat starts another quest requiring....another rain stone. I am locked out of having HK with me for daily gifting for at least one more day till I got enough items to craft that stone again -_-

They fixed the workbench quest lockout in a recent patch, but this fix doesn't seem to extend to later quests, sadly, like the rainstone quest Reimu mentions above. :( I hope they do further patches to free Chococat up, along with all the quests and characters that get stuck behind him (or should we call him Lock-ocat now?).

came here hoping to find an answer to unlocking them :c no island bouquets left and need the second rain stone quest done to unlock chococat and the mount mystery quest to unlock hello kitty (getting ahold of iron is painful)

Hey! Did you know the mining game gives you Iron? I was stuck too cos I never really played the mini games. Play that and you will get a bunch of iron to keep going!

Yep I am on the same quest. I had enough chocolate for the first one but not the second one. Now I am also locked out of chococat and hello kitty AT THE SAME TIME and I dont want to craft anything else until I have chococat back because the bonus is too good to waste.
