Completing Maple’s Flowering Beauty Request in Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar

In Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, building relationships with the townspeople is a key part of the game. Among them is Maple, the ever-cheerful maid at the local hotel. Her upbeat personality shines through in her requests, one of which is the Flowering Beauty quest. However, if you’ve found yourself confused by the quest’s requirements, you’re not alone. Let’s break down what you need to successfully complete this task and deepen your bond with Maple.

Understanding Maple and Her Request

Maple is not just any maid; she has a special charisma that endears her to the townsfolk and players alike. For her first relationship task, she requests that you gather 10 flowers to create a beautiful bouquet. Now, while the quest states that “any flower” will suffice, this is somewhat misleading. The truth is that not all flowers are equal when it comes to Maple’s request.

The Requirement Clarified

Throughout your adventures, you may collect numerous flowers known as Wildflowers. However, those won’t count for Maple’s quest. Instead, she specifically asks for flowers that you have grown yourself. This means you need to have flower seeds and cultivate them in your own garden.

Getting the Right Seeds

To start, you’ll need to procure flower seeds. You can visit Miguel’s store in town, which stocks in-season flower seeds. Alternatively, if you want a wider variety of flowers, head to Miguel’s stall at the Bazaar on Saturdays. This is your best bet for an assortment of flower seeds that you can grow.

Growing Your Flowers

Once you have your seeds, it’s time to plant them in your designated farming area. Ensure you have prepared the soil and planted your seeds correctly. After that, be patient. Flowers take time to grow, so keep an eye on them, watering as needed until they bloom into beautiful flowers that you can harvest.

Harvesting and Presenting the Flowers

When your flowers are ready, it’s time to harvest them. Make sure to collect 10 flowers to meet the quest requirement. Afterward, it’s crucial to approach Maple properly. Speak to her with an empty hand! If you accidentally hold the flowers while talking to her, you’ll end up gifting them instead of completing the quest.

What You Gain from the Quest

Completing Maple’s Flowering Beauty request doesn’t just strengthen your relationship with her; it also rewards you with Tea Leaf seeds. These seeds can further enrich your farming endeavors, allowing you to expand your agricultural repertoire and improve the quality of items you can sell or use.

In summary, although Maple’s request may initially seem straightforward, it requires a bit of effort and attention to detail. By understanding what is required – growing your own flowers and engaging with Maple correctly – you can ensure a fruitful relationship and enjoy the delightful rewards that come with it. Happy farming!
