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 Rosetta's Garden in Cherryblossom Heights and ask Rosetta if she has any quests. The quest should pop up immediately and you'll be able to begin. Upon starting the quest, Rosetta will greet you:

Rosetta: "Hi there, peaches! Have you come to help me pack up the lily pollen? We’re going to need it on the mainland!"
"Oh, you’re here for more Talent Skills training! Well, it’s about time! Let’s teach you ILLUMINATE!"
"Illuminate will help you with your garden-talent work after dark. Plus you’ll be able to investigate just about anything, find your lost --"
"Hold on, I’m gettin’ ahead of myself, aren’t I? Let’s start at the beginning. Ready, sugar?"

Step 1

Accept this Quest?

Rosetta: "Great! Lesson number one, Basic Illumination. If you’re ever in the dark an’ you have no pixie dust to power your Talent Skills, what do you do?"
"Why, you light a firefly, naturally! Go visit Iridessa in Twilight Glen an’ show me how many fireflies you can light up!"

Fly to Springtime Orchard. Earn 6,000 points playing Firefly Light-Up in Twilight Glen. Return to Rosetta's Garden in Cherryblossom Heights when you are done!
Progress: # of 6,000

Story So Far

Rosetta is teaching you your fifth Talent Skill, Illuminate. Show her that you understand Basic Illumination by helping Iridessa light fireflies in Twilight Glen!

Flit down to Springtime Orchard and play Firefly Light-Up until you reach a score of at least 6,000 points (whether in one shot or cumulative). Once you're done, go back and see Rosetta.

Step 2

I lit up fireflies with Iridessa!

Rosetta: "Great job, sugarplum! I’m proud o’ you! Now for lesson number two, Emergency Illumination."
"What do you do if you can’t use Illuminate an’ there are no fireflies around? You have pixie dust, right? Flick a little on a Yellow Gem to make it glow!"
"O’course, you have to HAVE a Yellow Gem to do that. Fly into the Wilderness an’ gather up some Yellow Gems!"

Fly to Chilly Falls and enter the Never Mine Wilderness. Find 20 Yellow Gems. Return to Rosetta's Garden in Cherryblossom Heights when you are done!
Progress: # of 20

Story So Far

Rosetta is teaching you your fifth Talent Skill, Illuminate. Show her that you understand Emergency Illumination by finding Yellow Gems in the Wilderness!

This next step is a gathering task. To fulfill the requirement, you will need 20 Yellow Gems. If you don’t have the 20 needed already, fly to The Never Mine and Go Scouting. Once you have acquired the necessary amount, head on back to Rosetta and give them to her.

Step 3

I have Yellow Gems for Rosetta!

Rosetta: "Flaptastic, sugar! Lesson number three, Warming Gems. Illuminate not only lets you make Yellow Gems glow, it helps you make them WARM."
"We garden-talents use warm gems like little heaters. When the weather gets cold, we scatter warm gems in the garden to keep the plants warm."
"But warm gems start to get awful hot if you carry them too long. So I carry them in tongs made from Twigs. Go get some Twigs, would ya?"

Gather 35 Twigs and bring them to Rosetta's Garden in Cherryblossom Heights.
Progress: # of 35

Story So Far

Rosetta is teaching you your fifth Talent Skill, Illuminate. Show her that you understand about warming gems by gathering Twigs!

So, once you're finished talking to Rosetta, it's time to gather up some Twigs, if you don't have 35 already. Once you get the required 35 Twigs, head back to Rosetta to continue the quest.

Step 4

I have Twigs for Rosetta!

Rosetta: "By my wingtips, you can hardly carry all of those! I’ll put ‘em over here for you."
"Now let’s move on to lesson number four, Finding Weeds!"
"We garden-talents NEVER pull weeds. But sometimes we need to use our Move Talent Skill to get them to make room."
"Sometimes they try and hide, too. Well, Illuminate helps us FIND ‘em! Show me how well you can find an’ move Weed Seeds in Silver Trees!"

Fly to Pumpkin Patch and enter the Silver Trees Wilderness. Find Weed Seeds. Return to Rosetta's Garden in Cherryblossom Heights when you are done!
Progress: # of 1

Story So Far

Rosetta is teaching you your fifth Talent Skill, Illuminate. Show her that you understand how to find things by finding Weed Seeds in Silver Trees!

Leave Rosetta's Garden and fly to the Silver Trees. Start a new quest and select Learn to Illuminate. Complete all the challenges and report back to Rosetta. Be sure to have enough cookies made prior to entering the Wilderness!

Step 5

I found Weed Seeds in Silver Trees!

Rosetta: "I knew you could do it, sugar! Now here comes your fifth an’ final lesson in Illuminate, Investigating New Plants!"
"When we fly to the Wilderness or the mainland, we garden-talents always look for interesting new plants. Sometimes we bring back seeds."
"So we always carry a little jar with us to store the seeds till we flap back home. The best thing to use is a pollen carrier."
"Fly to Treetop Housewares an’ get 3 collections of Pollen Carriers from Trinket, okay?"

Fly to Treetop Housewares in Treetop Bend and 3 Pollen Carrier Collections. Bring them to Rosetta's Garden in Cherryblossom Heights when you are done!
Progress: # of 3

Story So Far

Rosetta is teaching you your fifth Talent Skill, Illuminate.

Your last task is to go shopping! Fly over to Treetop Bend and enter Treetop Housewares. Purchase 3 Pollen Carrier Collections. They are 13 Twigs each, so you will need a total of 39 Twigs. Return to Rosetta and give them to her.

Your Reward

I got 3 Pollen Carrier Collections from Trinket!

Rosetta: "Oh, I just love those pretty little jars, don’t you?"
"Well, guess what, Fairyname here? You just earned your fifth Talent Skill, ILLUMINATE! Congratulations!"
"Now fly into the Wilderness an’ get yourself some practice, you hear? Fly safely!"

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