Achievement Good Neighbors
Price 5000g

The White Bow is the Hat Mouse's reward for the longest neighbourly favour in the valley: helping the raccoon family in Cindersap Forest grow. It costs 5,000g, which puts it among the dearer items on the mouse's shelf, and the Good Neighbors achievement behind it cannot be hurried. The chain begins with a windstorm knocking a tree down, runs through a hundred pieces of hardwood and eight separate requests from a raccoon, and only finishes once the family is complete. A simple bow is a modest trophy for all that work, which is very much in keeping with the rest of the shop.


Location


The tree comes first. A full grown tree stands in Cindersap Forest, south towards Marnie's Ranch and then west along the path, and it stays standing until the greenhouse has been restored by finishing the Pantry bundles at the Community Center. After that, a random night brings a windstorm, the morning brings the news, and the tree has become a stump with a question mark hanging over it.

Repairing the stump costs a hundred Hardwood. Mahogany trees give it, and the Secret Woods west of the forest is the comfortable place to collect it, since large stumps there can be cut for more. The work takes a day, and a raccoon turns up beside the mended stump afterwards.

Then come the requests, and there are eight of them. They are not journal quests: the raccoon simply asks, usually for preserved food and Crab Pot catches, and each request filled brings another member of the family along. The rewards on the way are worth having in their own right, among them a journal that makes weeds give up Mixed Seeds to a scythe, a Raccoon Hat, Fairy Dust and a Book of Stars. When the eighth is done the family is grown, the achievement arrives, and the raccoon's wife opens a shop inside the stump.

Effect


The bow is small and crisp, tied into the hair and leaving the head otherwise bare. It gives no bonus whatever, as hats here only change the picture, so it is chosen for its restraint rather than its effect. Plain white suits formal clothing and reads well at a wedding, and it is one of the few head items understated enough to wear with a detailed outfit without fighting it.

Notes


That shop is the real payment. It takes goods rather than gold, which makes it quietly generous: seeds for a Maple Seed, sap, moss or pine cones, a Mahogany Seed for coal, and a Golden Mystery Box for three ordinary Mystery Boxes. Magic Rock Candy sits at the end of the list for a frankly enormous pile of golden boxes. A farmer buying the White Bow is really buying a souvenir of a shop they will keep using for the rest of the save.
