Quest Spoilers

Since some players do not want the quests spoiled for them by reading how to complete each one, a lot of the quest information below in "hidden text." Below are descriptions of each quest. Select the hidden text for the parts you would like to read, or Select All (Ctrl+A in most browsers) for a walkthru:

  • Quest 1 beginning:Speak with Junior McPerkins (d3 c4 g4 d7) who should say, via popup: "Father annoys me. He has me sit here, all day at this winter well, washing these red fruits until I can find the big gold one. What does he mean by that?! Can you help me wash some fruit? If you find the golden one, let me see! === QUEST STARTED ===" This is a Main Quest.
  • Quest 1 spoiler 1:Show a golden strawberry to Junior to move on to the next step of the quest (the GS should remain in your inventory): "A golden strawberry!? How did you do that? You should make your own well. Talk to my father if you want. I'll give you a key -- erm. I've seem to have dropped it somewhere. It's probably in one of these flower patches. When you find the keys, help yourself."
  • Quest 1 spoiler 2:If you have a slot available in your inventory, search the Odd Looking Flower Patch (d3 c4 g5 c2): "CONGRATULATIONS! You found Toadwater Key 01" (You receive the key.) Use this key on the locked door to Toadee McPerkin's House (d3 c4 g5 a1). You may begin Secondary Quests A, B, and C.
  • Quest 1 spoiler 3:Speak with Toadee (inside d3 d2 d7 b4): "My son tells me you want to learn how to make a well. Well, learning to make a well, boy is not easy task. It requires hard work! Dedication! Do you have that in you? Well, you look pretty sturdy, so I'll assume you're tough enough! First though, I don't talk about construction on an empty stomach. Bring me some food and place it in my Food Locker. Bring me something special, something I don't already have a million of, please!" To leave the house you can use the key on the front door.
  • Quest 1 spoiler 4:With at least 101 red devil radishes in your inventory, put 100 of them in the Food Locker (inside d3 d2 d7 f6): "Ah! This was what he was missing! You stock the food locker with 100 Red Devil Radishes." (You keep the radishes.) Speak with Toadee: "TOADEE MCPERKINS: You didn't think I'd ask for those, did you? Well, they fill the stomach quite well if you prepare them right. Anyhow, the first requirement for a Spring Well is a good frame. Bring me fifty Sycamore wood and I will assemble a frame for you. Throw the wood in the wood piles outside."
  • Quest 1 spoiler 5:Put 50 sycamore wood in the Wood Pile (outside d3 c4 g5 b3). Message indicates that you have placed [50] Sycamore Wood on the wood pile. (You lose the wood.) Speak with Toadee: "I hope the quality of the wood was good. It's no good if your well just crumbles to ground, right? Let's see, the well will have a pulle made from scrap wood. I need a rope to fasten around the pulley, though. The rope will run 50 yards, around the pulley and back down again. Bring me enough rope to do this."
  • Quest 1 spoiler 6:Give 101 All-Purpose Rope to Toadee: "This is great rope, and is plenty. Talk to me in just a minute while I figure out how to fasten this to the pulley." (You lose the rope.) Speak with Toadee: "We're almost there! So far, we have the main part, the frame, the pulley, and the rope. What else do we need? There was something else..."
  • Quest 1 spoiler 7:Touch the Bucket (outside d3 c4 g4 b4). Speak with Toadee: "A bucket! That's right. You're a clever one, aren't you? The well plans are in my chest over there."
  • Quest 1 spoiler 8:If you have a slot available, open the Toadwater Chest (inside d3 d2 d7 d1): "You found plans: Spring Well Machine. These looks like a difficult machine to place. I better ask Toadee." (You receive a Spring Well Machine.)
  • Quest 1 spoiler 9:If you have a slot available, speak with Toadee: "What?! You don't know how to find water? You need a Dowsing Stick. Dowsing sticks draw you closer to sources of water, and where the surrounding squares can support a well of this structure. Use it and walk in the direction it tells you to. When you find water, place the damn thing down before it's too late! Here a stick you can have. It's one of my last ones -- don't lose it.." (You receive a Dowsing Stick.)
  • Quest 1 spoiler 10:Once you find a suitable location for a well (see Well wiki article for more info), place the NONREMOVABLE spring well: "CONGRATULATIONS! So-and-So has completed the Toadee's Teachings Quest!" {You lose the machine.) You may begin Main Quest 2.
  • Quest 2 beginning:Speak with Toadee: "My wife was a great woman. We got seperated from eachother on a recent trip of ours. I'm still trying to find the rest of her diary. She was probally the best farmer I ever knew, she would stay in the fields planting flowers, climbing trees. Nothing seemed to faze her. She would go by the lake, or sit in her favorite place in the attic and write for hours. I miss her dearly."
  • Quest 2 spoiler 1:Search some Old Boxes (upstairs): "Inside the box, you find page 1 of Mrs. McPerkins's Diary. She describes going outside to draw pictures of flowers. Perhaps you should search for something odd around there."
  • Quest 2 spoiler 2:Search Dead Flowers (outside d3 c4 g5 b6): "You find page 3 of Mrs. McPerkin's Diary. Inside the flower bed, you find drawings of flowers. She was quite the artist. She mentions wishing to swim in the lake. She didn't get to swim long, she had a few things to do afterwards"
  • Quest 2 spoiler 3:Search Shallow Water (outside d3 d4 d4 a4): "You find page 5 of Mrs. McPerkin's Diary. Mrs. McPerkins mentions she did not swimming long, for she had a few household chores to do. Perhaps something dirty around the house needed attention."
  • Quest 2 spoiler 4:If you have a slot available, search a Dirty Window (outside d3 c4 g5 a2): "Inside the seal of the window, you find a Dirty Piece of Paper. If only I could read it." (You receive a Dirty Page.)
  • Quest 2 spoiler 5:Wash off the Dirty Page in the Winter Well (outside d3 c4 g4 e4): "You cleaned off the dirty piece of paper. Mrs. McPerkin's describes trying to fill in a crack in the wall. You reason that it might just be a figure of speech." (You lose the page.)
  • Quest 2 spoiler 6:If you have a slot available, search the Cracked Wall (inside d3 d2 d6 e7). Message announces that you have found a key. (You receive Toadwater Key 02.)
  • Quest 2 spoiler 7:Use this key on Old Dust Covered Chest (upstairs d3 d2 b7 g1): "Your key broke as you unlocked the chest. You found a book, though." (You lose the key and receive a Toadwater Guide: Pumpkins.) You can proceed to 2.1
  • Quest 2 spoiler 8:Show this guide to Toadee: "Yes, her guide to pumpkins. We wrote this together before she disappeared that one day . . . We wrote it together in Toadwaterian. You might be a little young to know about that, though. here, I'll read it to you. (Toadee lets out a sigh) Pumpkins are a .. unique crop. They are not like any other crop in Toadwater. Not only are they twice as hard as the second highest crop, but even with a full yield, you're not even expected to get that. Pumpkins can only be planted in Enriched Bird Poo, or better should it ever exist. Pumpkins need a certain amount of fertilizer. If you put too much the vines take over, if you put too little the pumpkins just will not grow. (Page 1/3) - Click him again." Show him the guide again: "(He continues reading the guide) Once you get the pumpkins, you have several options. You may --- well, I'll leave you to figure that part out. Items made after farming can be used for several different things, all of which you may find valuable. The important thing to remember is: be creative! And remember, although something might not work one day, it might the next. (Page 2/3)." If you have a slot available, show him the guide again: "(He continues reading the guide) All pumpkin skills contribute and check for Cooking XP. I hope you've been making a lot of salad. And remember the most vital rule of pumpkin growing. . . (the guide trails off) Hmmm.. it appears that we never finished this guide. It seemed like a lot more than three pages at the time. Here, take these seeds and be gone. Should you run out, you're on your own. If even one pumpkin grows, though, you should be able to get your own seeds again. I laugh at you if your farming is too low to obtain even that" (You receive 300 Pumpkin Seeds.) You may begin Secondary Quests D and E.
  • Quest 2 spoiler 9:Pumpkin seeds should be planted in 50% EBP.
  • Quest A beginning:Read Toadee McPerkins' reply in the post "Poison Strawberry."
  • Quest A spoiler 1:Speak with A Shady Dealer (inside d3 d2 d7 b1): "I once was here, but soon I will not. I am here tonight for a search of a delicious snack, cater me X of these sweet treats, and I shall teach you a trick of my own. If you come back tomorrow and see me gone, do not worry for I will be back again." This is a Secondary Quest.
  • Quest A spoiler 2:If you have a slot available, give X Delicious Strawberry Salads to the Shady Dealer: "You helped me, so I will help you. Here is 10 of my own sweet treat. Save it for when times are rough, and the only way to see through your failure is to see it not at all. Be gone mortal, my business is done with you." (You lose the salads and you receive 10 Poisoned Strawberries.) X started out as 75 but has been seen higher. See the Strawberry wiki article for more info. This quest may be repeated.
  • Quest B beginning:In Toadee's attic (select the Ladder Up (inside d3 d2 d7 a7) to climb it), search Old Boxes: "In the box, you find a story about a spotted half-man, half-toad who when writing a letter to his mother, refused to pay the six cent postage claiming that the post office had poor customer service. The moral of the story, apparently, is not to be cheap." and "In the box, is a novel called The Toadwater Guide. You blow the dust off the cover. It appears to have never been used. You look at the publishing date, and can't help but let out a chuckle." This may be a Secondary Quest.
  • Quest B spoilers:???
  • Quest C beginning:Find a blue sapphire while mining.
  • Quest C spoiler 1:Give each Blue Sapphire to Toadee for one of two responses (you lose each sapphire).
  • Response 1: "This is a beautiful gem you have here. It reminds me of this one I was whittling a level 600 scutching sword. Eleanor was like, 'You only have 9% odds! You're likely going to fail!' to which I replied 'Nine percent? That's plenty!' Needless to say, I failed whittling the scutching sword horribly. She was right afterall. (You gained 20,000 Whittling Experience listening to Toadee's Story)"

  • Quest D spoiler 1:If you have a slot available, outside search the pile of Dragoon's Poo (d3 c4 g4 g3). (You receive a unit of Dragoon's Decayed Poo.)
  • Quest D spoiler 2:If you have a slot available, show the poo to Toadee: "You found this where? In my yard? (Toadee sniffs the poo) This isn't any poo! It's raider poo! Someone has been raiding me? But why? I have nothing other than that what you see before me. I don't even have a fence, who would take something from me? Eleanor! Perhaps this raider knows something about my wife! I haven't had any misfortune in the past other than her disappearance, and these thugs are all alike! They must know where she is! Fools! No longer will I stand by and let others take what is rightfully mine! I am sick of being an old hermit! (Toadee pauses to catch a thought.) I cannot, though. I'm old, and have JR to look after. I love Eleanor, but I cannot lose Junior, too. So please, fight for me and find Eleanor for me. Fighting in Toadwater is forbidden, but that is no reason not to rough eachother up a little bit. Here, take this." (You receive So-and-So's Lasso.)
  • Quest D spoiler 3:If you have two slots available, give 100 rope to Toadee: "TOADEE: It's low quality rope, but it should get the job done. Here take these as well. I found them earlier. (+0.50 'Combat' xp)" (You lose the rope and you receive a lasso and 4 Fence Scraps.) This quest can be repeated.
  • Quest E beginning:Read Toadee McPerkins' post "The Aroma of an Opening Bloom."
  • Quest E spoiler 1:If you have a slot available, use a hollowed pumpkin on a flower patch outside the McPerkins' house: "As you pull the flowers from the ground, they seem to take on a yellow hue". (You lose a hollowed pumpkin and you receive a Flower-Filled Pumpkin.)
  • Quest E spoiler 2:If you have a slot available, speak with Toadee: "Flowers are marvelous, aren't they? Each flower has a unique texture and aroma. Flowers are the universal sign for love, passion, and yet can also symbolize hate and misfortune. Some flowers can even be crushed for medicine. Unfortunately, when the flower is lifted from the ground, sometimes it can wither and die. Some flowers manage to live forever, forever leaving an aroma in the air that can only bring back fond memories. Each flower deserves to be treated like it was the last flower to ever bloom. And forget throwing them away, every flower, shall it die, deserves it's own condolences. Here, take this and show me you know the proper way to treat a lad-err.. flower. Show her your last respects." (You lose the flower-filled pumpkin and you receive a battered flower bouquet.) You may now pick flowers most places in the TW world by using (with a chance of sacrificing) a water-filled pumpkin on a flower patch then, if you have two slots available, use milking gloves on the flower patch to receive flower bundles and flowers that may be replanted.
  • Quest E spoiler 3:If you have a slot available, lay the bouquet in a hole 250+ mm deep: "You lay the battered-flower bouquet to rest. You shed a few tears. You suddenly are reminded of your old hamsters." (You lose the bouquet and receive flower petals.)
  • Quest E spoiler 4:If you have a slot available, give the flower petals to Toadee: "Yes, these are truly the colorful petals of a flower which was treated well. You have proven you know how to treat flowers with love and compassion. Here, take these and grow your own. Show the world the colorful side of you. Flowers are a lot like trees. They are planted on arable land, and take time to grow. They tend to take more time then some of their tree counterparts to achieve a full bloom. Some flowers, once grown, may have special properties that are unique to that flower." (You lose the petals and you receive 50 Yellow Marigold Flowers.)
  • Quest F beginning:Find Rami's Pickaxe Head while mining (you have to find it yourself, you do not seem to be able to use one found by someone else).
  • Quest F spoiler 1:Show the pickaxe head to Rami Stonecutter (d3 c3 d6 d2): "It looks like you found my old pickaxe. I lost this years ago, when I just starting to make this cave. Had to use my hands for years following that. I would love to restore this, but I'm weak in my old age. If you would like to help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm going to need some soft bars to repair. It's going to be some Black Crimson, and about 25 of them. I don't carry some pesky hand axe. My pickaxe is a dwarf's pickaxe!"
  • Quest F spoiler 2:Give 25 Black Crimson Bars to Rami: "Perfect. These will allow me to repair my blade and the handle of the shaft." (You lose the bars.) He continues: "You are doing very well, so-and-so. I appreciate your help. Next I'm going to need some sharpening stones. They're going to need to be made from Black Crimson, again. No less than 10 will do!"
  • Quest F spoiler 3:Give 10 Sharpening Stones (level 5 -- made from Black Crimson bars) to Rami: "Perfect. These will allow me to sharpen the blade to get it back to it's former glory! Last but not least, I need some Red Rubies. Why? I'll tell you why!" (You lose the stones.) He continues: "Red Rubies are beautiful! That's why! I don't mean to sound cocky, but my former pickaxe wasn't just to mine ore! Find me 5 Red Rubies!"
  • Quest F spoiler 4:Give each Mysterious Rock to Rami for one of four messages (you lose each rock).
  • Message #1: "This is just a lump of dirt. Why are you bringing me this? I am a miner, not a child! (10 xp)"
  • Message #2: "The stone is useless, but if we break it open like this we get a precious stone. See? A ruby. Isn't it pretty? Pretty useless! Harr!! (50 xp)" (You receive a Red Ruby.)
  • Message #3: "CONGRATULATIONS! You found trash! (Odds: 25%) Sorry, couldn't resist. (0 xp)"
  • Message #4: "This is just an unpurified ore. These are fun. I guess you could use the ore. (30 xp)" (You receive an Iron Ore.)

  • Quest F spoiler 5:Give 5 Red Rubies to Rami: "These are perfect! All I have to do is slide these beauties in here .. like .. this...!" He continues: "It's DONE! Oh, look at it.. it's such a beautiful pickaxe!" He continues: "Oh .. who am I kidding. What am I going to do with this. Lug it around everywhere I go? I only need a pickaxe when I'm making this place bigger and I wouldn't want to damage this beautiful piece of artwork." He concludes: "Maybe you'll find better use out of it. Here, take it." (You lose the rubies and you receive Rami's Pickaxe.)
  • Quest G beginning:Find a Lost Manuscript while mining.
  • Quest G spoiler:Show the manuscript to Rami: "This is interesting.. it seems to have date back before my time... thousands and thousands of years ago... perhaps around Toadee's grandson's generation. Har, har, har. It states 'The true wealth of nations is found in the hands of none. Remember that the stone has many cuts.' I'm sure you want to know what this means, young dwarf. Well, let me tell you this, I'm just a damn miner! Seriously, though, maybe you'll be able to find more goodies in higher level rocks now." (You lose the manuscript.) You may begin Secondary Quest H.
  • Quest H beginning:Find a Crystal Toad while mining.
  • Quest H spoiler:Give a Crystal Toad to Rami: "It's a Crystal Toad! I love these little guys. Here, take this. (world token)" (You lose the toad and you receive a world token.) This quest can be repeated.
