FAQ

Q: what happens if I do a gratitude side quest that does not match my Tunic?
eg: I do a freshman quest as a sophomore

A: It will either be declined or accepted as Extra art and you will get standard Extra Art rupees.
You will not get Grats for Grat Side quests that do not match your tunic level (if not specified in the quest eg: multi level quests)

Q: Can I combine a Gratitude Quest with a Rupee Prompt?

Yes you can combine a Rupee Prompt and Grat Quest, however the rules for Grat quests overrides the Rupee one, so make sure if you bring someone along they are the right level.

Q: I have 2 characters, if I put them both in a side quest / event , do they both get the rewards?

A: No. Each side quest is designated to 1 character unless you collaborate. You cannot collaborate with yourself. You can use your second character in the side quest but you MUST designate which character is doing the quest. Only they will get the rewards.

Q: It says a monster but not what game iteration it is? Which do I use.

A: Are you in an area that was from Skyward Sword? (such as skyloft, Faron Woods, etc.) Then it is the Skyward Sword version of the monster.

If you are anywhere else (such as the new surface areas) it is the Breath of the Wild versions.

If it is a monster that is not in SS or BOTW you can do whatever iteration of the monster you want! As long as it fits the quest and the level. 


If a quest gives you an item but doesn't specify, you can choose one junk item from the bazaar, if you want something that's not on the list and you want it for personal development (like a shiny shell, or broken trinket) just pop the group a note to ask.

WANT THE CHANCE FOR LIMITED ITEMS, ASK THE GROUP FOR A GREAT FAIRY MISSION

Could my character keeep...a keese as a pet? Like if it wouldn't stop following her. I saw one girl have a deku baba so it's not too far fetched to ask
