A Fragrant Journey: Forest of Falling Stars walkthrough

You reach the Nest of Stars with zero Large Starines, collect two in the Celestis outpost, and exchange ten ordinary Starines with Dum-Dum for the third. Submit all three at the nests, then treat the Treasured Large Starine, ordinary Starines, chest, Lumin Marking and Perfumer Dael’s quest completion as separate reward events.

Read the active Log entry before the outpost route

The active quest sits under Journey. Its Log entry names Forest of Falling Stars, describes Perfumer Dael waiting at the entrance of the Nest of Stars and sets the target to Explore the Celestis outpost! Use the Quests hub to recover the Log workflow, then open the Forest of Falling Stars atlas for the regional approach.

Collect three Large Starines in the outpost

The first nest interaction lists Large Starine ×0 and a 0/3 stage counter. You arrive empty and collect all three on site. Two gold-orange Large Starines sit along the outpost loop; the third comes only after giving Dum-Dum ten ordinary Starines. The selector text Submit at least 1! is a floor, not an instruction. Gather all three and submit them in one pass.

03

Follow the route into the Celestis outpost

Follow the green destination through the violet flower beds and into the root-screened nest pocket. Ordinary Starines and Large Starines are different items in this route: the Dum-Dum panel counts the small ordinary item to 10, while the nests count the gold Large Starine to 3.

  1. 01Track the active Journey entry

    Open Journey, select A Fragrant Journey: Forest of Falling Stars and use Go if the green destination is not already visible.

  2. 02Check the empty nest counter
    0 of 3 Large Starines

    Follow the flower trail to the Celestis and woven nests. Open Insert large Starine once to see the 0/3 gate, then leave the empty panel.

  3. 03Collect the first Large Starine

    Explore beyond the nests and take the first gold-orange Large Starine near the Celestis before Dum-Dum.

  4. 04Inspect Dum-Dum’s ten-Starine panel

    Speak with Dum-Dum and choose Take out 10 Starines. With only seven ordinary Starines in the bag the panel stays at 0/10, so you know how many more the outpost owes you.

  5. 05Gather ten ordinary Starines and the second Large Starine

    Loop through the outpost, collect the small Starine interactions until you own at least ten, and take the second direct gold-orange Large Starine on the route.

  6. 06Exchange ten Starines for the third Large Starine

    Return to Dum-Dum, select Take out 10 Starines, choose exactly ten in Submit Items and confirm. Dum-Dum counts them, then the pickup feed shows Large Starine ×1.

  7. 07Submit all three Large Starines
    3 of 3 Large Starines

    Return to the woven nests, use Insert large Starine, select the three shown in inventory and confirm 3/3. This submission, not the Dum-Dum choice by itself, leads into the Starine shower.

  8. 08Answer Twinkle

    When Twinkle asks whether Starry is back, choose I saw a Stellarys. Twinkle concludes that Starry is treating everyone and calls for a meal and celebration.

  9. 09Handle the chest and each separate nest pickup

    After Twinkle releases the rewards, keep the three interaction types separate. Take one ordinary Starine, open the Chest, then collect the Treasured Large Starine. Other ordinary Starine labels stay beside the nests. Neither named pickup is chest loot.

  10. 10Return to Perfumer Dael

    When the target changes to Go to Perfumer Dael!, follow the marker back and speak with Dael. Then complete Give the Treasured Large Starine to Dael, submit the item at 1/1, and verify the named Peace of Mind panel plus EXP +600.

04

The Dum-Dum and Twinkle choices

Dum-Dum’s menu shows four options and only one carries the route: Take out 10 Starines. Open it early to read the 0/10 panel, then come back with ten and select exactly ten from an inventory of eleven. Later, Twinkle offers two answers, and I saw a Stellarys. is the one this walkthrough follows.

Both choice menus and what to pick

Take thisTwinkle · I saw a Stellarys.Twinkle identifies Starry as the visitor, says he is treating everyone, and calls for a meal and celebrationYes. Answer this before Twinkle releases the special Starine and chest.
The exchange alone does not start the shower: The ten-Starine exchange only supplies the third Large Starine. The shower begins after you return to the nests and confirm the separate 3/3 Large Starine submission.
05

Collect the Treasured Large Starine and gold chest

After the shower, Twinkle says the weird large Starine and glittering gold chest are both yours. The interaction menu keeps Chest, Treasured Large Starine and ordinary Starine as distinct targets. The Treasured Large Starine atlas marker resolves in the same Nest of Stars pocket, and its canonical item description points back to Perfumer Dael.

  • Chest

    What you see
    EXP +200 appears as the chest opens. The following queue shows Glimmer ×50, Aniipod Ultra Voucher ×1, Credits ×500 and the Common Carried Item Core name with its quantity obscured.

Post-shower interactions and the queued pickup feed
The pickup notifications overlap: You collect one ordinary Starine, open the chest and then collect the Treasured Large Starine, so the three sets of notifications queue together. Read the interaction you triggered rather than the order of the toasts: neither named pickup is chest loot.
06

Return to Dael and verify the quest rewards

After the nest interactions, the tracked target changes to Go to Perfumer Dael! Follow the marker back across the short stream crossing and speak with Dael. The target then becomes Give the Treasured Large Starine to Dael; reopen the interaction, submit Treasured Large Starine ×1 at 1/1, and finish the conversation. The completion sequence opens the Peace of Mind item panel and applies 600 EXP. The other four rewards are listed in the Log preview before you hand the item over.

If the Submit Items prompt is missing

  • Open Journey, select the exact Forest of Falling Stars entry and confirm the active target is Explore the Celestis outpost!
  • Use Go or retrack the quest, then follow its green destination into the nest pocket. The regional atlas pin alone does not activate a quest stage.
  • Approach the woven nests beside the Celestis, not only the nearby Lumin Marking. The Large Starine panel is inside the outpost pocket and can appear while inventory is zero.
  • If Dum-Dum’s 0/10 panel shows fewer than ten ordinary Starines in inventory, close it and continue collecting the small Starine interactions. Do not substitute Large Starines.
  • If the quest title itself is missing, return to your Log and continue the available Journey chain until it appears.

For route recovery, compare the Log workflow, the Forest of Falling Stars region view and the Nest of Stars landmark. Those three links resolve the quest, the region and the local pocket.

Frequently asked

Where does A Fragrant Journey: Forest of Falling Stars start?

The Log points to Perfumer Dael at the entrance to the Nest of Stars in the Forest of Falling Stars. Use the nearby Nest of Stars atlas marker to reach the pocket, then follow the tracked quest pin to Dael.

How do I get the three Large Starines?

The outpost route collects two gold-orange Large Starines directly. Gather at least ten ordinary Starines, submit ten through Dum-Dum’s Take out 10 Starines choice for the third Large Starine, then return all three to the nest’s 3/3 panel.

Should I choose Take out 7 Starines?

No. Take the ten-Starine option. Submitting ten ordinary Starines is what gives you the third Large Starine, and you then make a separate 3/3 nest submission before the Starine shower begins.

What rewards does the quest give?

The Log shows 600 EXP, 30 Lumin Crystals, 7,500 Credits, 200 Eggshell Coins, 50 Breezy Plains Dewdrop Crystals and Peace of Mind with no quantity badge. The nest chest carries its own separate loot.
