Quick Steps

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: "Oh good, a helper! The rainstorm in Spring Valley is turning everything dark, including everybody's mood. I want to brighten things up!"
"But I can't ask Rosetta for help because all the garden-talents are busy preparing spring seeds for the mainland."
"Fawn is helping soggy animals, Silvermist is guiding overflow rain into the stream, and Tink is busy building dams to hold back the flooding."
"So it's up to us to brighten everyone's spirits and make sure the big Spring Celebration goes well. Can you help me out, sunshine?"

Step 1

Accept this Quest?

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

Iridessa: "Shimmerific! First let's slow the rain down."
"You know my hero is the legendary light-talent, Haylo. She discovered that we can use Yellow Gems to help slow rainfall."
"What you do is heat the gems and toss them into rainclouds. They make the clouds warm up so that fewer raindrops can form!"
"So I need lots of Yellow Gems. Will you fly into The Silver Trees and gather Yellow Gems?"

Fly to Pumpkin Patch, enter The Silver Trees Wilderness, and gather 10 Yellow Gems. Return to Iridessa's Glade in Sunflower Gully when you are done!
Progress: # of 10

An ingredient collecting task! Leave Iridessa's Glade and fly to The Silver Trees located in Pumpkin Patch. You are searching for Yellow Gems in the wilderness, if you don't have 10 already. Once you get the required 10 Yellow Gems, hurry back and give them to Dessa. Make sure to have enough baked goods made prior to entering the Wilderness!

Step 2

I have Yellow Gems for Iridessa!

Iridessa: "Flashtastic! I'll need to fly right into the clouds to place those Yellow Gems. It will be hard to see through all the rain."
"I should wear goggles. Will you fly to Zephyr's Zoom Room and buy me a pair of Racing Goggles? You can pick any color you like!"

Fly to Zephyr's Zoom Room in Fairy Coliseum. Buy a pair of Racing Goggles in any color you like. Fly to Iridessa's Glade in Sunflower Gully and give this item to Iridessa when you are done!

Step 3

Iridessa: "Alright, I've warmed up the Yellow Gems, so I'm ready to fly into the rainclouds. While I'm up there, will you do me a favor?"
"I want to catch some sunbeams and release them in Spring Valley. Talk about lighting things up!"
"So I'll need bags that can hold sunbeams. Oak Leaves make good sunbeam bags. Go gather Oak Leaves!"

Gather 20 Oak Leaves and bring them to Iridessa's Glade in Sunflower Gully.
Progress: # of 20

Step 4

I have Oak Leaves for Iridessa!

Iridessa: "Good news, sunshine! The Yellow Gems are helping slow the rain down!"
"Bad news. I discovered a bunch of fireflies that are stuck up there in the rain."
"I'll go rescue them! You fly to Copper's Tinkering Nook and make a Leaf Blanket to bundle them up nice and warm! Use Velvet Red Dye!"

Fly to Copper's Tinkering Nook in Maple Tree Hill. Use Personal Tinkering to make a Leaf Blanket. Use Velvet Red Dye from Daisy's Dyes in Cherryblossom Heights. Fly to Iridessa's Glade in Sunflower Gully and give this item to Iridessa when you are done!
Progress: # of 1

You're helping Iridessa brighten up the Spring Celebration. Fly to Copper's Tinkering Nook and Personal Tinker a Leaf Blanket using Velvet Red Dye from Daisy's Dyes.

The first thing you need to do for this task is to make sure you have a Bottle of Velvet Red Dye. If you do not, flit up to Cherryblossom Heights and enter Daisy's Dyes. Purchase your dye for 10 Spider Silk or 1 Pixie Diamond. Now, flap over to Maple Tree Hill and enter Copper's Tinkering Nook. Choose Personal Tinkering and make a Leaf Blanket using your bottle of Velvet Red Dye. Make sure you have the ingredients required for tinkering the item. Despite Rosetta requesting you use Velvet Red dye, you may choose any shade of red to fulfill the requirements of this task. When you are done tinkering the blanket, return to Iridessa.

Step 5

I tinkered a red Leaf Blanket for Iridessa!

Iridessa: "Excellent! Let me use it to wrap up those poor cold fireflies."
"Here you go, guys. That's it, snuggle in and get your glows back."
"Now let's catch some sunbeams by playing Sunbeam Bend. Come on!"

Fly to Sunflower Gully. Earn 15,000 points playing Sunbeam Bend. Return to Iridessa's Glade in Sunflower Gully when you are done!
Progress: # of 15,000

Story So Far

It’s talent game time! Play Sunbeam Bend until you reach a score of at least 15,000 points (whether in one shot or cumulative), then return back to Dessa.

Your Reward

I played Sunbeam Bend with Iridessa!

Iridessa: "You outshined yourself, Pixie Name Here -- we caught a wingful of beautiful sunbeams to brighten up Spring Valley!"
"Thank you so much for all your help. I couldn't have done it without you. In fact, you're the sunniest pixie I know, so here you go..."
"Hey, I heard that the Minister of Spring is moving the Everblossom into the Ballroom to protect it from the rain."
"The Everblossom will get lonely in there by itself, so be sure to visit the Ballroom, alright? Fly with you later, sunshine!"

You'll receive the Sunbeams for Spring badge, as shown below. You will also earn 80 Talent Points.
