Give quest credit for actions pre-quest

If that makes any sense at all! Or at least make it so that quests don't make you UN-do what you've already done. Case in point - I bought a house with three patches and promptly planted two trees in it because I wanted them. This was before I'd earned the proper skill to season beans and before I triggered the quest to ... guess what ... plant two trees in my very own house. Now, if I want to complete the quest, I'm going to have to kill one of my trees! And I don't want to have to do that.

I get that quests make you practice skills and so on, but everyone does things in different order. And you're going to get lots of people jumping ahead, even just by accident, or by seeing what higher level peeps are doing. Either don't trigger a quest that you've already done, or let doing it earn you the credit without the quest having to be up on the board - like badges or trophies.

  • Agreed--ran into a similar problem with going to hell, where I just stomped on grapes because it was the only thing to do there, and then noticed afterwards that I could have checked the quests to activate the one that asks me to do just that... then I wasted a bunch of time trying to die again because I HATE having an active quest that isn't finished....

  • Thanks for posting this Tradescantia...I have to agree...since I was poor, I could only afford an apartment where I got one patch. I had already planted a tree and then after got the same quest. I'm already going to have to kill the tree to plant another, but having to kill two...ugh. Would at least like to have credit for the one, especially since I can't kill the tree until I learn botany...

    Also, many are getting quests before they have the skill to perform it...is there a way to make it so that you can't get a quest until you have the skill learned?
