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.

Head over to Tinker's Nook in Cottonpuff Field and ask Tinker Bell if she has any quests. The quest should pop up immediately and you'll be able to begin. Upon starting the quest, Tink will greet you:

Tinker Bell: Pixie Name Here! Have you come to help me with the Changing of the Leaves? Aw, that's sweet, but you know what?"
"I don't need any help! Everything is going great!"
"Not like last year when I got my wings in a twist because I was afraid something would go wrong but nothing did. How silly was that?"
"So this year, I'm going to relax. In fact, I'm going to make sure EVERYBODY relaxes! Wanna hear how I'm going to do it?"

Step 1

Accept this Quest?

Accept the quest and Tinker Bell is thrilled and gives you the first step.

Tinker Bell: "You know I'm the one who made the machines that help the leaf-painting-talents prepare autumn leaves for the mainland, right?"
"Well, today I designed a widget that will speed the machines up! I call it a Quick-Gear."
"The machines will go faster, the work will get done quicker, and everyone will relax sooner. It'll be tinker-tastic!"
"I need Twigs to make my Quick-Gears. Will you gather Twigs for me?"

Gather 10 Twigs and bring them to Tinker's Nook in Cottonpuff Field.
Progress: # of 10

You're helping Tinker Bell speed up work for the Changing of the Leaves. Gather twigs!

An ingredient collecting task! You are looking for Twigs if you don't have 10 already. Once you get the required 10 Twigs, give them to Tink.

Step 2

I have Twigs for Tinker Bell!

Tinker Bell: "Thanks! I think I'll speed up the juicing machine in Acorn Summit first."
"It might not squish the berries as well as usual once it runs faster. The color may not be as red. But I've already got a solution."
"We can add dye! Go get a bottle of Strawberry Red Dye at Daisy's Dyes, would you?"

Fly to Daisy's Dyes in Cherryblossom Heights and get 1 bottle of Strawberry Red Dye. Bring it to Tinker's Nook in Cottonpuff Field when you are done!
Progress: # of 1

Let's go shopping! Head on over to Cherryblossom Heights and enter Daisy's Dyes. Buy one bottle of Strawberry Red Dye, which costs 10 Spider Silk. Once you have the dye, flap back to Tink to give it to her.

Step 3

I have Strawberry Red Dye for Tinker Bell!

Tinker Bell: "Flitterific! The juicing machine is working faster now, so next I'll speed up the leaf-painting machine in Cottonpuff Field."
"While I do that, you need to make something that will help the leaves dry faster at the drying station in Maple Tree Hill."
"Go tinker a Seedpod Fan at Copper's Tinkering Nook!"

Fly to Copper's Tinkering Nook in Maple Tree Hill. Use Practice Tinkering to make a Seedpod Fan using any color of dye. Fly to Tinker's Nook in Cottonpuff Field when you are done!
Progress: # of 1

Step 4

I made a Seedpod Fan for Tinker Bell!

Tinker Bell: "Flaptastic! Now we need a way to speed things up at the leaf bundling station in Pumpkin Patch. Hmmm..."
"I've got it - cuddle vines! I bet they can bundle leaves quicker than any pixie can!"
"I think I have a spool of cuddle vines somewhere in the Sorting Station. Come on, let's find it by playing Tinker Toss!"

Fly to Cottonpuff Field and earn 5,000 points playing Tinker Toss. Return to Tinker's Nook in Cottonpuff Field when you are done!
Progress: # of 5,000

You're helping Tinker Bell speed up work for the Changing of the Leaves. Play Tinker Toss!

It’s talent game time! Play Tinker Toss until you reach a score of at least 5,000 points (whether in one shot or cumulative), then return to Tinker Bell.

Step 5

I played Tinker Toss with Tinker Bell!

Tinker Bell: "Yay, we found the cuddle vines! While I take them to the leaf bundling station, will you do something REALLY important?"
"BAKE COOKIES! Hee hee! I want to celebrate! Go to Dulcie's Kitchen and bake a batch a Acorn Cookies, yum yum!"

Fly to Dulcie's Kitchen in Neverberry Thicket. Use Practice Baking to make 1 batch of Acorn Cookies. Return to Tinker's Nook in Cottonpuff Field when you are done!

Step 6

I made Acorn Cookies for Tinker Bell!

Tinker Bell: "AAAGH! Help! Disaster! Pixie Name Here, I'm getting reports from all over the Hollow! Everything is going wrong!"
"The cuddle vines cuddled themselves into a happy little knot and let all the finished autumn leaves blow away!"
"And the machines are speeding up TOO fast and overloading! Leaves meant for the mainland are flying all over the place!"
"Hurry, we have to find them! Look for Autumn Leaf Piles in meadows where autumn leaves don't belong! Go on, get flapping!"

Search each of the non-autumn meadows to find 6 Autumn Leaf Piles that don't belong. Return to Tinker's Nook when you are done!
Progress: # of 6

Story So Far

The autumn leaves for the mainland have scattered across Pixie Hollow. Search all the non-autumn meadows for 6 Autumn Leaf Piles!

This task can be a little tricky. You must help Tink search all of the non-autumn meadows (i.e. Winter, Spring, and the Summer meadows) carefully for the six Autumn Leaf Piles. When you find one, click on the Autumn Leaf Pile to collect it! Click here for the locations of all the Autumn Leaf Piles that were scattered across non-autumn meadows. Once you have collected the required six, flit back to Tinker Bell.

Your Reward

I found all the Autumn Leaf Piles for Tinker Bell!

Tinker Bell: "Oh, I am so relieved! You saved autumn on the mainland! And, um.. well, I made a mess. Again. I'm kinda good at that, huh?"
"Luckily, the fall Fairies are flaptastic at their jobs. The leaves are being bundled again, more slowly but without any disasters."
"Here, Pixie Name Here. You've really earned this."
"You're brave, do you know that? I mean, today proves that it takes a brave pixie to be friends with ME!"

You'll receive the 2012 Changing of the Leaves badge, as shown below. You will also earn 75 Talent Points.
