    It took me like 8-10 days of going every day and getting all the ginger. It spawns west of the farm (check behind all the trees), by the farm bird transport, the dig site, the ledge above the dig site, and by the archeologist’s tent.

  2. Yeah, I’ve never succeeded at this one!! I tend to wait for the equivalent taro one instead.

    Maybe if you leave all the ginger squares that pop up alone for a while in anticipation of receiving this quest…?

    I had to go to the island everyday and it took me about 15 or so days to finish it. You have to look around the beach, the farm area before the bridge connecting to the slime area, the dig site, and near the island office. Those are the common areas where ginger spawns. No need to waste your time on other areas of the island.

    As a consumate stardew expert I can tell you that all quests are possible – I’ve done the Qi fruit quest in 1 single day, I’ve attempted speedruns of perfection and so on.

    When this quest comes up saying **ginger** you put it in the bin and never speak of it again.

    Wait until it says **pineapple** or **taro root**. Plant a decent amount of each and leave them unharvested to give yourself a headstart when it does come back 🙂

    If you get the ginger one at the start of the month and get all 28 days then it’s more than possible, but it’s just a waste of your time and energy compared to the other two options.

  5. Two things.

    First, after harvesting the ginger, hit the tilled diet with your pickaxe. That will “un-till” the dirt and help the spawn rate.

    Secondly, I believe the ones you collect from Tiger Slimes count.

  6. You pretty much have to look every day. I’ll sometimes take the version of this with ginger as long as there’s enough time left. Otherwise I’ll try to get the version asking for taro. I almost never take pineapple because you kind of need to have a lot of pineapple already growing and I usually don’t

    Oh man I just finished this one with two days left. What worked for me was after you harvest the ginger, use your pickaxe to cover the harvest spot over. It’s more likely to have mote ginger in that spot the next day. Not covering up the spot means the soil has to “rest” a day or two between growths.

    Ginger, for me, only spawns in the spots to the west of the farm (like in your picture) and the bone quarry. Not once did the ginger spawn outside the tent like it had in previous days. It’s like my game wanted to make it harder.

    Just go there every day and look east of your farm and by the tent and in the dig site. Keep the dig site clear and as someone said above – untill the soil with the pick axe after you collect them.

  9. I’ve done this but I think I had more than 11 days though. I harvested ginger everyday. You can find them on:
    – around ginger island farm
    – dig site
    – upper part of digsite
    – in front of island field office
    – killing tiger slimes near qi’s room

    I plant lots of pineapples on my ginger island farm and do that or taro root. Start collecting seeds for both before the quest!

    Gotta check all the spots for ginger. 11 days is going to be hard to complete because you can’t grow it. You can only find it in the wild (around the pond by your beach farm, up by the bird elevator, at the dig site and near the tent museum). You gotta look every day.

    You use a hoe to dig them up. Advice, hit that spot with the pick after as they won’t grow in unearthed dirt.

    It took me around 10 days to do it. Go every day, use the pick axe to un-till the land so they will respawn. Spawns by the farm, the dig site, and up the hill where the tiger slimes are
