Rice and Precious Bait (spoilers)

[Witcher]

Divine Child is taking days/weeks to harvest another batch of rice for me.

Similarly Great Carp's servant doesn't want his master to get fat and refuses to give more treasure carps scales for feeding this master.

Anyone knows how long is the wait for either of the above?

as long as you still have a rice in your inventory she won't give you anymore rices. and for the great carp i believe that is the limit of the bait you can feed, but you could give him a trully precious bait instead in order to progress the questline.

[Witcher]

Aww, what's the point in a max limit of 3 rice servings and why didn't she tell me to eat my rice previously given? ;) I have one more persimmon left - gave her 3 excluding the 2 dragon organs. Should I give it to her or save it for later?

If I give great carp a truly precious bait, he will die. How can I get more treasure scales to exchange another Lapis Lazuli from Pot Noble in Fountainhead Palace? Hence, I haven't killed great carp yet cause he's become friendly after I feed him ;P

Cheers.

you can also give the rice to the old praying lady if you remember where she is.

actually you only need 1 persimmon to do the girl questline so it is up to you in case you wanna make a persimmons juice for your diet. also a good idea if you mix it with a 4 different sake, probably? :p

yes, the carp will die. you can get more treasure scales by exploring the world (mostly in water areas) and also by killing the carp fish too.

just fyi, there is a limit amount of carp scales and lapis lazuli you can get for each playthrough. and by that i mean you have to do at least the 2nd playthrough in order to get all the prosthetic upgrades.

Yeah, I give one serve of rice to old woman and she told me where to look for 2nd great serpent. I remember seeing her dying in Senpou Temple.

I know Pot Noble will give me another Lazuli when I kill great carp but I was hoping to exchange the 2nd one in his inventory ;P Think I have killed all carps who would drop treasure scales unless you know a place where many players didn't know?

There are 42 scales in one playthrough, and all the items together cost 40, so if you can't afford an item on sale, you have not found all the scales.
You can get 4 scales maximum from the attendant, either by feeding the great carp, or by killing it, or both.

It may be easier if you looked at the list in the wiki to find the scales you are missing. We can guess places that took us a while to find, or something like that, but in the end we would give you the same info as the wiki, just slower. :D

You can get one serving of rice no matter what per playthrough, so if you do not use it, and play through multiple ng+, you can have more than one serving on you, and even some in storage.
