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 her if she has any quests. Once you have reached Talent Level 24, the quest should appear in the list of quests you may do and you'll be able to begin immediately. Upon starting the quest, Silvermist will greet you:

Silvermist: "Oh, raindrop, just look at you -- you've earned all 8 Talent Skills."
"I'm so proud! And I have a great way for you to practice, too!"
"We pixies don't just fly to the mainland to change the seasons. Sometimes we need to take supplies there for the animals and plants to use."
"I'm packing supplies for one of those trips. Would you like to help me? I'll make sure you use those Talent Skills!"

Step 1

Accept this quest?

Once you agree, Silvermist is thrilled and gives you the first step.

Silvermist: "Splashtastic! Let's get you into the Wilderness right away!"
"While I finish making my supply list, I want you to fly to The Never Mine and help, oh let's see... help two Lizards, a Bird, a Squirrel, and a Frog!"

Fly to Chilly Falls, enter The Never Mine Wilderness, and help two Lizards, a Bird, a Squirrel, and a Frog. Return to Silvermist's Grotto when you are done!

Silvermist: "Ripple-rific! Next I've created special water-magic pixie dust that I'll use to clear up several muddy lakes on the mainland."

Silvermist: "Ooo, this Leaf Blanket is so soft! Those little gophers will snuggle right into it!"
"Next I want to check on the seeds that the garden-talents planted along the stream banks. Lots of fish and water animals depend on those plants."
"If the seeds didn't sprout, the garden-talents will have to try again with new seeds. Will you get the seeds they'll need by playing Seed Sorter?"
