Qi Fruit Quest - thoughts?

[Yvi]

I have very mixed feelings about the Qi Fruit quest. On the one hand, I love that 100 currency reward, plus I like planting things and foraging for things so activity-wise I don't mind the grinding. That said, it is *so much* grinding, and also it takes up my entire Ginger Island farm that I want to grow other things on. I keep getting this quest (and I keep taking it because 100 gems) but it is such a time and space sink.

What's everyone else's thoughts?

I complete it once per save for the gems. Might take it on more than once if I fail the first attempt, or if I forget to make the headwear during it. I complete most of those quests once (apart from the Junimo Kart one), then go for those I can complete with relative ease (or deliberately fail in the case of the Extended Family quest).

Those "reach floor 100 of Skull Cavern" quests make for quick gems if you've got enough staircases. One day and they're in the bag, leaving the rest of the week for other pursuits.

Did it once to see just how hard it was, it was very stressful. Plus I only really wanted a giant qi fruit (for decoration purposes) but for that there is another way.

Spoiler: In case you're curious

Since it was was for decor all i did was use the item id chicken method get nine seeds put them down were you need them and wait. This works since you can still plant the seeds outside of the quest time, it is only slightly harder to get them. Though it is all possible if you put your thinking chicken on . A more complex was was explained by Blade video

I feel the same mixed way about it. The time pressure makes it exciting at first, but I ended up rushing my farm routine just to keep the beans growing. I still think the reward is worth doing it once, then I am happy to leave it alone.

If it shows up on 1 winter I might take it and grow the creepy little things. Trixie got a giant one when she did it, dayum that thing was creepy!

Absolutely not. I'll take 50 of the Junimo Kart quests before the Qi crop quest. I'll do 100 floors in the dangerous skull caverns with no food and no staircases before the Qi crop quest. I'll get through the Volcano with no watering can upgrades before the Qi crop quest. I'll throw rocks at Linus' tent before the Qi crop quest.

I don't mind looking for beans, and once I've got the fruits going it's fun putting them in seed makers all day. My only problem is finding space for them. I don't feel like making another crop area just for the quest, and I don't want to destroy whatever I'd already planted. It's really nice when it shows up on winter first.
