Welcome to Elderfield
Welcome to Elderfield beginner tasks: Herb, Hans, Molly and Dave
Neoseeker’s task guide starts fishing with Herb, farming with Hans and workshop access with Molly. Dave’s request requires prior introductions and a letter, so it does not share the same immediate start.
Start Casting Your Line
Go to Town Lakefront and agree to try fishing with Fisherman Herb. Neoseeker says he supplies the initial rod and bait, so no equipment purchase is required to start this task. Catch a Ghost Flounder and a Fog Eel, then bring them back to Herb. Use the journal objectives to distinguish the requested fish from other catches.

Unlock the field and workshop
At the Farmhouse, speak to Hans, grow and harvest 1 Wheat, then return to finish The Farmer’s Path. Neoseeker warns that farming must remain enabled in Custom Difficulty. For Helping Molly, accept her request on Farm Path to receive Rusty Pickaxe, mine 1 Copper Ore and bring it back. You do not need ore before accepting; the reward is workshop access.

Wait for Dave’s letter
For A Snack for a Cat, Neoseeker says to introduce yourself to Dave and discuss the farm with Hans. From day 3, watch for Dave’s letter; after it arrives, open the journal at home and revisit Dave. His request is Fog Broth, involving Celery from farming and a Fog Eel from fishing. Deliver the broth and speak to him to receive a Preserving Barrel.
