Solved [BUG] Danger in the Deep quest only lasted 2 days

[imyellingkimber]

Im new to this forum and I didn’t see this thread posted anywhere else, so sorry if there’s already an existing thread.

The Danger in the Deep quest assigned in the Walnut room on Ginger Island is supposed to last 7 days.

You have a week to get to the bottom of the mines again.

I started the quest on the 27th day of fall and was only given two days to complete the quest, even though in the text description it literally said “reach the bottom of the mines in a week”.

Not sure if the end of the fall season had something to do with it.

Needless to say it was literally impossible to go down 120 floors in two days, and I didn’t complete the quest.

That's because you let the quest sit on the board/panel while it's timer was ticking down. The time limits are always the maximum days, when accepted freshly on a Monday.
You accepted the quest on a Saturday which is 5 days after it became available. The UI should attempt a better way to convey this information, but it isn't an inherent bug.

Just to make it a bit more clear, the quests reset every Monday. Doesn't matter when you accepted it, those are the quests that will be there all week. And no, you can't do the other quest if you finish the one you picked early (sad, i know). So just check the big board every Monday and you'll be fine. (The same applies to the big board in town.)

Always always always get your special orders from the board by Lewis's place and your quests for Qi gems on Monday. Always always always. The timer starts as soon as you wake up on Monday whether you go accept the quest or not.

That’s good to know.
I had literally just unlocked the walnut room when I accepted the quest. So while I guess this isn’t a bug, it’s definitely not very good UI.

I don't know if the UI is bad, just missing a piece of relevant information that is useful to have.
