i feel like mori and nori's item requests can sometimes be a bit wonky too? the other day they asked me for a 800k item someone had mispriced at way lower (unfortunately when i got into user shops it was already gone and i didn't want to drop 800k on a mori quest). i would really love for rarity to be factored more into their item requests!
i also have a sorta preoccupation with nice numbers and getting a quest point at the end of every 5 quests, so having to miss a quest kinda throws my entire questing rhythm offbeat :( i usually end up not doing another 4 quests just so things even out and i can finish questing on a multiple of 5 (which LMAO that's my problem but maybe also frustrating for other people who like multiples of 5?)
new items should not be asked for on quests it's a firm no from staff.
