NPC Story Quests: Complete Unlock Order

Last Updated: July 19, 2026 · 23 story quests, ~140,000 Gold total rewards, 60+ unique items

TL;DR

Story quests give 5,000 Gold each + 1-3 unique items. The full set takes ~14 hours and unlocks 60+ items you cannot get elsewhere.

Optimal order: do Mira, Taro, Eli first (their quests unlock 3 new systems). Skip the seasonal NPCs until the event returns.

2. Personal Test Notes

Marcus: The order above is NOT the in-game quest log order. The game suggests Greta first, but Mira's quest unlocks the cooking system, which gives you food for other quests. Reorder saves ~2 hours.

Lin: Quest #11 (Kai's Wreck Dive) requires the Ocean West map unlocked. Don't attempt it on Day 1 —you'll swim forever. Wait until DG 8.

Sofia: The Wanderer's quest has NO marker. You have to find the Wanderer at a specific spawn point (Twilight Forest, full moon only) and use the dialogue option "I seek the way."

3. Step-by-Step: Mira's First Dish (Screenshot Guide)

  1. Step 1: Locate Mira in the Town Square (north building with the chimney).
  2. Step 2: Talk to her, select "I'd like to learn cooking."
  3. Step 3: She gives you 3 Wheat, 3 Sugar, 1 Apple.
  4. Step 4: Walk to the kitchen (left of her shop). Press E to use stove.
  5. Step 5: Place 1 Wheat + 1 Sugar + 1 Apple. Click "Cook."
  6. Step 6: Wait 30 seconds. Apple Jam appears in inventory.
  7. Step 7: Return to Mira. She accepts. 5,000 Gold + Cooking system unlocked.
