Need Help...

[mk_thot]

New to Stardew Valley, recently took a job for Robin to gather 80 Hardwood, except I already had 80 Hardwood in my storage. So I messed around for a bit and finally put it in her storage, except it won't let me turn it in because it say I still have to GATHER 80 Hardwood. I only have 2 Days left to finish I have 49/80 on the gather bar and the only way for me to get any is in the Secret Woods. It says I placed the 80 in her storage so am I screwed or is there a way to get the "gather" task bar to fill up?

Also I can see a tree stump in the little clearing at the bottom of the map, is there a way to get there?

NOTE: The Secret Woods and the Train Station are currently the only new areas I've unlocked.

There is a way to the bottom of the Secret Woods by passing through one of the bushes at the top left of that section.

Other than there being some grown mahogany trees or you being lucky enough to find a lot of barrels quickly in mines, I doubt you could get it in time. The quest will come around again though so no need to worry if you miss it.

So I'm just out the 80 Hardwood I already gave her?

if you fail the quest, the stuff will end up in the Lost and Found bin in lewis' house.

at your point in the game no, you won't be able to complete that quest.

there are other ways later on, so keep at it.

and at the bottom right, but you have to shimmy through.

That's so stupid though. "Oh, looks like you couldn't get me 80 units of hardwood in time even though you did, oh well here's the 80 units hardwood you already gave me back, better luck next time!"

I think the idea is that you have to collect all of the stuff for those quests because otherwise it would be too easy that late in the game. That is why almost all of them require the collection too even though you will likely have the stuff in chests.

Yeah.
I have a feeling those special order quests might get tweaked a little in the future.

(If you're desperate, and willing to mod, you can use the DeepWoods mod.
It creates a special dungeon in the Secret Woods. It spawns endless randomly generated floors of a forest dungeon (similar to Skull Cavern's floor generation), with all kinds of trees and things.
That includes a bunch of hardwood logs and tree stumps to chop.
Just remember to always have a Warp Totem with you, or you'll be lost in there (there's no exit after floor 1, so you have to warp out (or pass out, I guess))

the thing you get for the quest is literally useless anyways... so don't sweat it.

There are 2 entrances to that section. One on the top left of it and another on the top right. You're both correct.
