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.

Stop by Iridessa’s Glade in Sunflower Gully and ask her if she has any quests. The quest should pop up immediately and you'll be able to begin. Upon starting the quest, Dessa will greet you:

Iridessa: "Hi, sunshine! Today I'm Bright Eyes, Fairy Detective, and I'm on a very important case!"
"Dulcie baked some muffins to go into the cornucopia for the Fairy Feast, and now they're missing! Will you help me solve this mystery?"

Step 1

Accept this Quest?

Accept the quest and Iridessa is thrilled and gives you the first step.

Iridessa: "Shimmerific! Now, when I spoke to Dulcie, she said she put the muffins outside to cool. The next thing she knew, they were gone!"
"I inspected the area and found a pink cherryblossom petal. That leads me to suspect Perry Opossum."
"Perry loves to play in cherryblossom trees, and he also loves Dulcie's muffins."
"Will you go look for him somewhere in the spring meadows? Check for any muffin crumbs in his fur."

Search the spring meadows for Perry Opossum. When you find him, check his fur for muffin crumbs. Return to Iridessa's Glade in Sunflower Gully when you are done!

Step 2

I found Perry Opossum, but there were no muffin crumbs in his fur!

Iridessa: "It looks like Perry isn't our muffin culprit after all. Good thing I found another clue while you were out."
"There are some strange paw prints near Dulcie's Kitchen door in the exact place where she put the muffins to cool."
"I need to see them up close to determine what kind of animal made them. Will you get me a Tinkering Glass from Treetop Housewares?"

Fly to Treetop Housewares in Treetop Bend and get a Tinkering Glass. Bring it to Iridessa's Glade in Sunflower Gully and give it to Iridessa when you are done!

Step 3

I have a Tinkering Glass for Bright Eyes!

Iridessa: "Thank you, sunshine! Now let's see what kind of animal prints I found."
"Otter prints! I wonder if our muffin culprit is Anderson Otter. He's been known to sneak a treat or two from Dulcie before."
"Will you go look for him? He'll be in one of the meadows with a stream running through it. See if he has any muffin crumbs in his whiskers."

Search for Anderson Otter in the meadows with a stream running through them (Sunflower Gully, Cottonpuff Field, Dewdrop Vale, and Havendish Square). When you find him, check his whiskers for muffin crumbs. Return to Iridessa's Glade in Sunflower Gully when you are done!

"She found a robin's feather stuck under her door right where the muffins were sitting. I bet that feather belongs to Rebecca Robin!"
"Rebecca adores Dulcie's muffins. You'd better go find her in one of the autumn meadows. Check if she's got muffin crumbs in her feathers."

"I need you to go get me a bottle of Pale Rose Red Dye from Daisy's Dyes!"

"Okay, so what does that mean? I found muffin crumbs at the crime scene, but not sand. And who is T.A.F.?"
"Wait - T.A.F.! Tallulah the Arctic Fox! She's sneaked away with goodies from Dulcie's Kitchen before! Maybe it's her!"

Step 8

I found Tallulah the Arctic Fox, but no muffin crumbs were in her fur!

Iridessa: "Tallulah is innocent? And you say that she wrote such a mysterious note because she didn't want 'Bright Eyes' to suspect her?"
"And she kept writing 'sand' in the snow with her paw? How interesting! I didn't know she could write, that sly fox!"
"Hold on… sand… BEACH! I bet Tallulah is trying to tell us to search Palm Tree Cove! Sunshine, go see who's there, hurry!"

Search Palm Tree Cove and see who is there. If you find someone, check them for muffin crumbs.

Iridessa: "YYYYES! Oh, I should have known! Mungo sneaks treats from Dulcie all the time! I mean, his nickname is Munchy!"
