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. If you have finished the quest Advice for Silvermist, the quest should appear in the list of quests you may do and you can begin immediately. Upon starting the quest, Silvermist will greet you:

Silvermist: "Hi, raindrop. *SOB* Oh, don't mind me, I'm just *SNIFFLE* a little teary. The sparkles on the stream are so *SNIFF* pretty -- it makes me *SOB* cry!"
"We *SOB* water-talents cry a lot. It's just *SNIFF* the way we are. And you have to admit, *SNIFFLE* the sparkles are pretty..."
"Uh-oh, *SNIFF* I'm out of leafkerchiefs! Can you *SNIFF* ask Tinker Bell if she has any more?"

Step 1

Accept this Quest?

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

Silvermist: "Thanks. I'd fly to her myself *SNIFF* but I can't see very well with my eyes all teary."
"Hurry if you can. *SNIFF* My nose is getting stuffed up!"

Fly to Tinker's Nook! You can get there from Cottonpuff Field.

Story So Far

Silvermist is stuck in a water-talent sob fest. Hurry and see if Tinker Bell has any spare leafkerchiefs!

So, once you're finished talking to Silvermist, fly to Tinker's Nook in Cottonpuff Field and talk to Tinker Bell.

Step 2

I’m here to see Tinker Bell!

Tinker Bell: "As Clank would say, heydee-hi heydee-ho, Pixie Name Here! What brings you to Tinker's Nook?"
"Silvermist needs leafkerchiefs AGAIN? But the sewing-talents and I made a whole bunch of them for her awhile ago!"
"Okay, let's get the materials first. Can you gather some Dandelion Fluff? A little bit of Dandelion Fluff can soak up a lot of tears!"

Gather 15 Dandelion Fluff and bring them to Tinker's Nook in Cottonpuff Field.
Progress: # of 15

Story So Far

Silvermist is stuck in a water-talent sob fest. Help Tinker Bell make leafkerchiefs by gathering Dandelion Fluff!

''Editor’s Note: The original text of this quest included these lines of dialogue, which were changed.
"Silvermist needs leafkerchiefs AGAIN? I worked with the sewing-talents before, and we made a whole bunch of super-strong leafkerchiefs for her. They seemed to really work."
"Well, I guess it's just time to make more!"''

Step 3

I have Dandelion Fluff for Tinker Bell!

Tinker Bell: "Flitterific! Now, I usually use leaves for leafkerchiefs, but maybe we should use cherryblossom petals instead. They’re soft but strong."
"I guess that means we'll need to call these "petalkerchiefs", right? Silvermist will love them!"
"Go get cherryblossom petals by playing Petal Pick-Up!"

Fly to Cherryblossom Heights. Earn 2,000 points playing Petal Pick-Up. Return to Tinker's Nook in Cottonpuff Field when you are done!
Progress: # of 2,000

Story So Far

You need to play a talent game now. Head over to Cherryblossom Heights and play Petal Pick-Up until you reach a score of 2,000 points (whether in one shot or cumulative). Once you're finished playing, go back and see Tinker Bell again.

''Editor’s Note: The original text of this quest included these lines of dialogue, which were changed and removed.
"Right! I was going to use Ivy Leaves for the leafkerchiefs, but maybe we should use cherryblossom petals instead. They’re soft but strong."
"Go get petals by helping Rosetta up in Whispering Winds, just through Cherryblossom Heights!"
"I'll stay here and get the Dandelion Fluff ready."''
The following original instructions for this step were also changed.
Earn 2,000 points playing Petal Pick-Up in Whispering Winds.

Progress: # of 20

"I think that's everything! Maybe you should check on Silvermist and make sure she's okay."
"Oh, and give her this. It's my very last regular old leafkerchief -- you know, to tide her over."
"Hey, TIDE her over! That's water-talent humor, right?"
"While you're gone, I'll bring all the materials for the new petalkerchiefs to the sewing-talents!"

"What? You and Tink have a *SOB* surprise for me? *HONK!* That's so sweet! But oh dear, it's just making me cry *SOB* harder!"
