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: "How spooky! I was just thinking that I wanted to talk to you, and here you are! It’s like -- it’s like MAGIC or something!"
"Ready to learn another Talent Skill? I know you’ve been practicing Splash, Move and Charm. It’s time to learn DISTRACT!"
"Let’s start right away!"

Step 1

Silvermist: "Great! Lesson one -- dragonflies! When we water-talents are busy with talent work at a pond, dragonflies are sure to come buzzing."
"They’re really friendly, but they’re too curious! Sometimes they get in the way and make a mess."
"When we use Distract, they usually fly somewhere else. But sometimes they just won’t leave. So what do we do?"
"We drop cherryblossom petals somewhere far away, and the dragonflies play with them for hours. They love the smell!"
"Show me how many cherryblossom petals you can catch with Rosetta up in Whispering Winds!"

Fly to Cherryblossom Heights. Earn 15,000 points playing Petal Pick-Up in Whispering Winds. Return to Silvermist's Grotto in Dewdrop Vale when you are done! Progress: # of 15,000

Story So Far

Silvermist is teaching you your fourth Talent Skill, Distract. Show that you know understand how to distract dragonflies by catching cherryblossom petals in Whispering Winds!

First thing to do is head over to Cherryblossom Heights and play Petal Pick-Up until you reach a score of 15,000 points (whether in one shot or cumulative). Once you're done, go back and see Silvermist.

Step 2

Silvermist: "Splashtacular! Now what about weasels? Sometimes you need to distract them, too."
"Yesterday I was trying to send a really important bubble message, and I ended up playing splash with a weasel all afternoon."
"It was fun, but that important message was late. I should have distracted the weasel with a Honeycomb treat."
"Let’s see how many Honeycombs you can find to use as distractions!"

Gather 20 Honeycombs and bring them back to Silvermist's Grotto in Dewdrop Vale when you are done!
Progress: # of 20

Story So Far

Silvermist is teaching you your fourth Talent Skill, Distract. Show that you understand how to distract weasels by gathering Honeycombs!

This next step is a gathering step. To fulfill the requirement, you will need 20 Honeycombs. If you don’t have the 20 needed already, flit around the Hollow and collect them as you go. Once you have acquired the necessary amount, head on back to Silvermist and talk to her.

Step 3

Silvermist: "Ripple-rific! Now let’s talk about dangerous animals like rats and wasps. Sometimes you have to lure them away from where you need to do your talent work.."
"When I work in a pond where a dangerous animal lives, I sprinkle fireworks sparkles on the far shore to lure them away from me."
"Now, I know you’re not a light-talent, but I need to make sure you can handle fireworks sparkles, just in case."
"Go get some by helping the Minister of Autumn in Sunset Grove!"

Fly to Acorn Summit. Earn 15,000 points playing Fairy Fireworks in Sunset Grove. Return to Silvermist's Grotto in Dewdrop Vale when you are done!
Progress: # of 15,000

Story So Far

Silvermist is teaching you your fourth Talent Skill, Distract. Show that you understand how to distract dangerous animals by getting fireworks sparkles from the Minister of Autumn in Sunset Grove!

Next, fly over to Acorn Summit and play Fairy Fireworks until you reach a score of 15,000 points (whether in one shot or cumulative). Once you're done, go back and see Silvermist.

Step 4

Silvermist: "Good job, Fairyname here! But not all animals fall for a lure. Sometimes we have to scare them away."
"But no Fairy WANTS to scare an animal! So here’s a way to do it without hurting it."
"When I have to work in a lake with water snakes in it, I keep a few Feathers with me."
"The water snakes think the Feathers are from hawks, and they stay far away!"
"Why don’t you fly to Bubbly Bog and find some Feathers?"

Fly to Dewdrop Vale and enter The Bubbly Bog Wilderness. Find 8 Feathers. Return to Silvermist's Grotto in Dewdrop Vale when you are done! Progress: # of 8

Story So Far

Silvermist is teaching you your fourth Talent Skill, Distract. Show that you understand how to scare a dangerous animal without hurting it by finding Feathers in Bubbly Bog!

This is a gathering step. To fulfill the requirement, you will need 8 Feather. If you don’t have the 8 needed already, fly to the Wilderness and Go Scouting. (Be sure to have enough cookies made prior to entering the Wilderness.) Once you have acquired the necessary amount, head on back to Sil and talk to her.

Step 5

Silvermist: "Perfect, dewdrop! Now, I don’t want you to think that the only thing water-talents do with Distract is make animals go away."
"Take Fraidy Fish -- they’re scared of everything. It’s hard to even get near them!"
"We use Distract to get them to come to us! Then we can help them! The best lure for Friendly Fish is Truffles."
"Fly to The Never Mine and find Truffles to lure Fraidy Fish!"

Fly to Chilly Falls and enter The Never Mine Wilderness. Find 10 Truffles. Return to Silvermist's Grotto in Dewdrop Vale when you are done!
Progress: # of 10

Story So Far

Silvermist is teaching you your fourth Talent Skill, Distract. Show that you understand that Distract has other uses by finding Truffles in The Never Mine!

This step is exactly like the last step you did ~ more gathering. But this time, you will need 10 Truffles. If you don’t have the 10 needed already, fly to the Wilderness and Go Scouting. (Be sure to have enough cookies made prior to entering the Wilderness.) Once you have acquired the necessary amount, head on back to Sil and speak to her for the last time.

Silvermist: "Great! Now we’ll have some to give the Fraidy Fish the next time they need help!"
"Sprinkles, you’ve done it! You’ve earned your fourth Talent Skill, DISTRACT! Congratulations!"
"Keep practicing all your Talent Skills, and I hope I see you again soon!"

Your Reward

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