The Collections Mission is to collect Korean Kites. The Reward is a Collectable in the form of the Glutinous Rice Mortar. Although this may appear in the Collectables section of the Market once the Quest expires, it will not be found there now.
Note from Freyashawk: Many gamers who are familiar with my guides for Harvest Moon are aware of my great and abiding love for the series. Pounding Rice on New Year's Day was an important ritual in Harvest Moon and the Rice Cakes made from that featured always in the game. Seeing the Mortar here in Family Farm Seaside reminds me of great moments in Harvest Moon...
Special Rewards from Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Once upon a time, the special Reward for completing a time-restricted Mission was a Decoration. Then came the Island Farm and we were given two Decorations, one for the Seaside Farm and one for the Island Farm... These were the Golden Days of Seaside, because the cleanable Island Decorations tend to give better Rewards than their Seaside counterparts. For some reason, the powers that be felt we should not have any more Island Decorations, and changed the Rewards yet again to give us TWO Seaside Decorations that were paired and almost identical in nature. For example, we received two Drum Sets or two Lemonade Stands... Came the Pet House and now we tend to be given an Accessory for the Pet House and one Decoration for the Seaside Farm.
The reason I mention this is because a player will not be able to use the Pet House accessory thus bestowed unless he/she has upgraded the Pet House. Pet House Ears are unlocked when you upgrade to Level 2. Pet House Hair is unlocked when you upgrade to Level 3. The Reward in this case is a set of Rabbit Pet House Ears.
To upgrade your Pet House to Level 2, you will need the following:
Reach Level 16
35 Peacock Feathers (need Peacock)
15 Macaroni and Cheese (Stove House)
35 Steak Burgers (need Burger Machine)
To change the appearance of your Pet House, tap on the rainbow-coloured Paint Roller on the left of the Pet House menu. You then will be able to see the parts that you have and the Level at which they can be used. Note that you must find any Pet House accessory in your Gift Box first and choose to 'Use' it before it will be available for use in the Pet House menu!
Collectable Ingredients Needed
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Collectables in Seaside are an odd set of items . They produce according to a set schedule and you cannot make them produce any faster. Most Collectables can be purchased for a small amount of RC in the Market but there are a few that can be purchased for Coins. Unfortunately, in MY view, the Coin Collectables are temporary objects that will produce only for 3 days before they vanish from your farm. You can repurchase them, of course, but I find the entire process a nuisance.
The reason I mention them here is that you will need the temporary Collectables for the traditional Quest so make certain that you purchase the Soy Sauce Barrels and the Spice Rack and the Yeast Barrel as well for good measure.
Quest Task Changes
