In Depth Quest Guide

This is a full walk through for the quest, so if you're confused by any of the quick steps, hopefully these can help you out.

Head over to Silvermist's Grotto in Dewdrop Vale and ask Sil if she has any quests. The quest should pop up immediately and you'll be able to begin. Upon starting the quest, Silvermist will greet you:

Silvermist: "Goodness glaciers, it’s my little sprinkle! I’ve been expecting you! It’s time for you to learn your fifth Talent Skill, GROW!"
"Garden-talents will always grow things best, but we water-talents can do pretty well with our Grow Talent Skill."
"There are times when it’s really important for us to be able to use Grow. What do you say -- are you ready to learn Grow?"

Step 1

Accept this Quest?

Silvermist: "Splashtacular! Fish and other animals live in water, right? They need underwater homes. Plants are perfect for that!"
"By using Grow, we can help certain water plants grow in just the right places to provide good homes."
"The Wetleaf plant is a favorite with the fish in Soapstone Stream, but the seeds can only be found in Bubbly Bog."
"Fly to Bubbly Bog and find some Wetleaf Seeds!"

Fly to Dewdrop Vale, enter the Bubbly Bog Wilderness, and find Wetleaf Seeds. Bring them to Silvermist's Grotto in Dewdrop Vale when you are done!
Progress: # of 1

Story So Far

Silvermist is teaching you your fifth Talent Skill, Grow. Show her that you understand how to provide underwater plant homes by finding Wetleaf Seeds in Bubbly Bog!

Leave Silvermist's Grotto and fly up to the top of Dewdrop Vale. Enter The Bubbly Bog and lead a new adventure called Learn to Grow. Complete all the challenges and report back to Sil. Be sure to have enough cookies made prior to entering the Wilderness!

Step 2

I found Wetleaf Seeds in Bubbly Bog!

Silvermist: "Ripple-riffic, raindrop! Now, along with growing water plants, we can help water flowers like Rain Lilies bloom!"
"We give each plant a sprinkle of Blossom Water to keep it extra healthy. Rosetta makes Blossom Water with flower petals from Whispering Winds."
"Go find Rosetta up in Whispering Winds. You can help her collect flower petals for her next batch of Blossom Water!"

Fly to Cherryblossom Heights. Earn 5,000 points playing Petal Pick-Up in Whispering Winds. Return to Silvermist's Grotto in Dewdrop Vale when you are done!
Progress: # of 5,000

Story So Far

Silvermist is teaching you your fifth Talent Skill, Grow. Show her that you understand the importance of Blossom Water by helping Rosetta catch flower petals in Whispering Winds!

Head up to Cherryblossom Heights and play Petal Pick-Up until you reach a score of 15,000 points (whether in one shot or cumulative). When you have finished playing, go back and see Silvermist.

Step 3

I caught flower petals with Rosetta!

Silvermist: "Good job, raindrop! Now, not all Grow tasks are easy. For example, think about how we water-talents help frogs."
"Before a frog grows up, they live in the water and look like ... well, like cute little fish called tadpoles! And tadpoles like nice, calm water."
"Show me that you can keep things calm by calming “Frantic” Freddy Frog in Bubbly Bog. If you can calm him down, you can calm anything!"

Fly to Dewdrop Vale, enter the Bubbly Bog Wilderness, and find Freddy the Frog. Return to Silvermist's Grotto in Dewdrop Vale when you are done!
Progress: # of 1

Story So Far

Silvermist is teaching you your fifth Talent Skill, Grow. Show her that you understand how to calm water for the tadpoles by finding “Frantic” Freddy Frog in Bubbly Bog!

Another adventure in the Wilderness! Leave Silvermist's Grotto and fly up to The Bubbly Bog again. Lead a new adventure and select Learn to Grow. Complete all the challenges and report back to Sil. Be sure to have enough cookies made prior to entering the Wilderness!

Step 4

I calmed down “Frantic” Freddy Frog!

Silvermist: "Splashtacular! Another important part of Grow is teaching. For us water-talents, teaching baby fish to swim is a regular thing."
"I use whistle reeds during guppy swim lessons. They whistle at just the right pitch for guppies to hear underwater."
"You need very delicate Spider Silk to make reed whistles. Let’s fly to Spider Silk Grotto and get some. We can gather dewdrops while we’re there!"

Fly to Neverberry Thicket. Earn 5,000 points playing Water Web in Spider Silk Grotto. Return to Silvermist's Grotto in Dewdrop Vale when you are done!
Progress: # of 5,000

Story So Far

Silvermist is teaching you your fifth Talent Skill, Grow. Show her that you understand the importance of teaching fish to swim by helping her catch dewdrops in Spider Silk Grotto!

Talent game time! Flit over to Neverberry Thicket and play Water Web until you reach a score of at least 5,000 points (whether in one shot or cumulative). When you are finished playing, go back and see Silvermist again.

Step 5

I got delicate Spider Silk in Spider Silk Grotto!

Silvermist: "Great! So now you know that the Grow Talent Skill helps us make sure that all water plants and water animals get the best of care."
"Sometimes Growing is talent work. And sometimes it’s just plain fun, like giving cookie crumbs to water bugs. But only when they’re good, of course."
"The water beetles have been really helpful lately, so let’s reward them with Sunflower Cookie crumbs. Go make 6 Sunflower Cookies at Dulcie’s Kitchen!"

Fly to Dulcie's Kitchen in Neverberry Thicket. Use Personal Baking to make 6 Sunflower Cookies. Return to Silvermist's Grotto in Dewdrop Vale and give them to Silvermist when you are done!
Progress: # of 6

Story So Far

Silvermist is teaching you your fifth Talent Skill, Grow. Show her that you understand the importance of nurturing good behavior by Personal Baking 6 Sunflower Cookies at Dulcie’s Kitchen!

This baking task must be completed in Dulcie's Kitchen, which is located in Neverberry Thicket. In order to Personal Bake the Sunflower Cookies, the recipe must be available and completed. To unlock the recipe, you must first complete the Acorn Cookie Recipe. Complete the Sunflower Cookie Recipe using Community Baking so that it is open and available for Personal Baking. Once you have the recipe ready for Personal Baking, bake your cookies! Try for a high quality score so that you earn all 6 cookies in the first batch. If you don’t make the 6 Sunflower Cookies needed the first time baking, continue to Personal Bake until you do. Fly back to Silvermist when you have completed your baking task.

Your Reward

I made Sunflower Cookies for the water beetles!

Silvermist: "Oh, the beetles will be so happy! They have a real sweet tooth, you know."
"Well, little sprinkle, you’ve done it again! You’ve earned another Talent Skill, GROW! Congratulations!"
"Be sure to fly into the Wilderness and practice all your Talent Skills, okay? Fly safely!"

You will now be able to perform the Talent Skill Grow in all wilderness areas of Pixie Hollow.
