Has this Happened to Anyone?

[Pristine1281]

Whelp, this just happened. I was checking out to see if there were any quests and accepted a fishing one without really looking. Turns out Willy wanted me to catch 5 sardines and I am in Summer time, the only season when they don't appear. This kind of thing hasn't happened to me before, when I get a quest I can't fulfill. And I've been playing this game off and on for well over a year now lol.


So my question is, has anyone gotten a quest which they couldn't fulfill?

[Losk Osmanthus 路渐秋凉]

I think I had the same quest before.

Yes, I got a quest for a fish that was impossible to catch, too.

Another time, I was asked to bring some plant (that takes 12+ days to grow) in the first couple days of the first season in which they could be grown. Technically I could have previously obtained one from the Traveling Cart (or a seed and gone Joja for an early Greenhouse) , but realistically speaking, no one would have had one by then.

And I haven't played for anywhere near a year... I don't even do Help Wanted quests often (or at all).

Just one of the many bugs that still need to be fixed. Hopefully the dev will get around to it before he gets sucked into his next game, but... he's already coding for the new game so it's not a good sign.

Yes. I don't think it's really a bug because I've had lots of quests that would be at the very least, very impractical to finish by the time limit if not impossible. I imagine the logic is that you may have some spare ones leftover from previous seasons, like if you were keeping sardines as a cheap fish for recipes.

That wouldn't be very good logic considering you have to catch the Sardines while you have the quest in your journal. Old ones won't work.

Oh sure, I think the quests are random. One time I got one to bring someone a Nautilus shell in the middle of spring, but they only show up on the beach suring winter.

so?

At least then you could use a rain totem. Season Totems would be pretty crazy though.

or how about bringing Clint copper ores on day 2 of spring 1, no mine yet

I wouldn't call it a bug it's just RNG without limiters

I had the wizard ask me to go into the mine and slay exactly 0 dust sprites once.. >.>
