Stardrop Tea should be used for Qi's Kindness quest

[MissAnaira]

Stardrop Tea is a universally loved gift, but does not count when given as gifts while the Qi's Kindness quest is active. The teas are already rare and hard to obtain, so it wouldn't be unbalanced if teas are allowed to count towards the quest completion too.

Don't know why it doesn't count. Seems stupid to exclude a universal love.

Honestly, I think it was another oversight. I was kinda shocked it didn't count

Maybe it has something to do with stardrop tea not counting for daily/weekly gifts limit? Maybe the fame looks at the checkbox not being filled and doesn't count it? I'm no programmer so I wouldn't know for sure, just a thought

I don’t think it’s a loved gift, it gives more points and the characters display a different symbol.
It also doesn’t count for the gift limit so if you get enough tickets you could finish the quest immediately (even if it would take a while to get enough). And quite a lot of quests have some mechanism against completing them immediately, so I don’t think it’s an oversight.

In that case, can just make an exception in the code for stardrop tea to work for the quest?

I'm pretty sure that
1. It isn't actually a loved gift,
2. You could stack up on it and then finish the quest in a day, especially if you cheat them in.

To be fair you can stack up on basically any loved gift and it would be much easier than 50 stardrop teas (besides walking around and finding people but that's hardly that difficult), but I agree with the first point, it isn't really a loved gift per se, I think it's probably better treated differently for everything instead of being even more confusing than it is

technically someone could just stock up on magic rock candies if they're cheating

Technically, you could have 30 stardrops eaten by cheating, but @FilthyGorilla is probably right, it is just for technical reasons.
