Starsand Island Quests & Events
Main quests, side quests, profession quest lines and timed festivals. This hub tracks what is documented and keeps an open list of the quest problems players actually hit — no invented walkthroughs.
Quest systems (the categories players reference)
- Main quests — story and island progression (cabin, professions, visitors, the port, Starsand Station).
- Affection quests — invitation-based objectives tied to named islanders.
- Festival quests — event-specific objectives (Beach Festival and others).
- Profession quests — certification chains for each profession.
- Sub quests and requests — fishing, cooking, lost items, errands and exploration side-objectives.
- Special quests feed relationships — the Romance page covers that side.

The five professions most often named are Crafter, Farmer, Fishing (Angler), Rancher and Explorer.
Festivals and timed events
- Beach Festival — an in-game event (official EA-era patch notes mention beach trash respawning during it).
