Summer Luau reward

[Natu]

Yesterday, I got out of my house and a message popped up talking about some yearly summer luau. I wasn't planning on going anyway so I didn't really pay much attention, and I went on with my chores.

Took a few in-game hours and after I was finished I remembered that I had to try my new fishing pole. I grabbed it, went through town and to the beach in order to hopefully catch some fish.

As soon as I enter, I'm met with a huge beach party and I suddenly remembered the luau that I was invited to. I tried to leave but I couldn't, so I just talked to some of the guests who all said that I was supposed to bring something to put inside the huge kettle in the middle and add the ingredient to the stew. "oh boy i've been looking forward to this stew all year" the governor said

I'd brought jack ♥♥♥♥ since I didn't even think about this event, and all I had was this beet or whatever that I found on the ground on my way to the beach. But it had a silver star, so I figured it'd be good enough.

>"smh natu this some nasty ♥♥♥ stew"

I don't even know what you're supposed to get if the governor likes it. Did I miss out on something here?

EDIT: Typo.

You do not get anything. The governor will either say its missing something if you dont add anything. He will say it is good but nothing special if you add a mediorcre thing. Or he will say it is the best soup ever if you add something really good. There is no reward though.

[Natu]

Thanks for the response. Guess I didn't miss too much then!

I remember an npc told me a day before it would be funny to add something I don't quite remember to ruin that thing.. does anyone tried it yet?

Well, I added a slimy green algae and the governor, after tasting, said that the soup is horrible and that he would forego eating the soupo this year


Well, unfortunately (being my first Luau) I forgot to bring anything and the slimy green algae was the opnly edible thing I had in my pockets at this time

:D

I added nothing too, I brought a crab thinking I could add it, but you cant add crab.

[Monkeysaur]

I added a fish, didn't go down well at all.

I quite like fish.

There are afew items which are poisonous, would be interesting to see if anything happens if you add one of those...

[GrandTickler]

sadly you receive absolutely nothing, so next year im gonna add a poisonous red mushroom lol

I assume, that a good soup raises the affection of some (random?) or all NPCs a little bit.

Right after the Luau, i've seen 1 heart on NPC's, i've never spoken to, except for the introduction. "Never spoken to" includes gifting presents or helping/questing.

I'm not sure about this, tho. I may have done something else, which increased their affection somehow.

I can confirm that you LOSE faction if you put something bad in the soup. I've been romancing Sebastian and had just finished the 6-heart cutscene. I forgot and sold my gold-star items, so I dropped a nq sweet pea in the soup that I had harvested that morning. Even though Seb tells you to put something bad in as a joke, that night when the Luau was over I was down to 5 hearts.

In my first year I ended up there and all I had was my 1 precious energy bar, that thing that would save me in the mines. In my impoverished state it was very valuable to me.
I put it in and the Gov said the soup was disgusting.
I began to really hate the towns folk at that point. I made plans to put the most toxic mushroom I could find in the next year.
