Bug/Issue Initiation Quest Bug and Qi Quest Bug

Hello, so I accepted the Initiation Quest from the Guild, and it simply did not count the slimes I killed, it was stuck at 0/10. This bug is actually common (source: google) and most people solve it by killing the rock crabs, but this did not apply to me. So I went into the save files myself and I edited the SaveGameInfo and the _PlayerName_*numbers* file, basically both files with all the code in them. I followed this guide on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/69a8e5/editing_xml_help/.

and guess what? I was able to enter the guild building! So this was a good step forward, but it quickly took two steps backwards when I found out that the quest is still in my quest menu thing. It simply does not want to go away and I'm wondering if there is a way to fix this?

Bug #2: So I got the skull key from going down to the 120 level of the mine (I did this before I got the letter from the guild for Bug #1, is this a possibility for the glitch?) In the mail, I get a letter saying I will get a prize if I go to the 25th level of the skull cavern. So I actually did not accept the quest, but I exited out bc i was too lazy. Is this quest srsly gone for good? How will i get to the casino without this progression? or is it not needed and im just mistaken?

It will not let me attach the save files, because it has an extension that's not allowed? wtf

 

Yea, the method posted by that reddit user is basically what would have happened to your save after you completed the quest. It writes to your save that string so that the Guild is open. But, there was no mention of removing the quest data; so it's just going to sit there in your journal. You can manually delete it, or fix it back to killing slimes, and stuff.

Search your save for "<Quest xsi:type="SlayMonsterQuest"> "
Then follow all the data down to it's closing tag " </Quest>"
Either delete it to remove the quest, or paste in the proper code below; and revert the changes you did earlier to redo the quest properly. It's up to you.

Fixed code for the slime killing quest.

Code:

  <Quest xsi:type="SlayMonsterQuest">
  <_currentObjective>0 of 10 slimes slain.</_currentObjective>
  <_questDescription>If you can slay 10 slimes, you'll have earned your place in the Adventurer's Guild.</_questDescription>

As for the quest to get down to the 25th floor. Don't worry; you're not missing out. It's just a challenge quest with a monetary reward. You get to the Casino through another method.

Oh, and for attaching files it has this forum message:
"Accepted file types: zip, 7z, txt, pdf, png, jpg, jpeg, jpe, gif, log"

So zipping up the saves is the easiest way to attach them.

 

Thank you! I got the club card by putting a battery in the tunnel. Once I delete <Quest xsi:type="SlayMonsterQuest">, will there be a quest from the guild after it?

 

No prob.
No, there's no follow-up quest for it. The "Initiation" quest is only there to allow you access to the Adventurer's Guild. You might get generic 'monster challenge' quests later, but those are unrelated to this.

If you delete the quest code, it'll just remove it from your journal.

 

need your help too.. can you explain, step by step how to clear "initiation" quest.. already killed slime and stone crabs but nothing happen..

 

I realize this is a bit of a necro. But it might help someone who comes along. If you cant tolerate trying to get your quest to complete on its own and dont mind editing your save file(always make a backup you can just enable access to the guild with the following instructions.
Navigate to your save file path
for windows users this is C:\users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\StardewValley\Saves\[farmerName]_[random numbers]\
The file is xml and while you CAN open it in notepad the file is all one single line and will be hard to edit this way.
This guy makes an excellent free xml editor http://www.firstobject.com/

once you have the file open the path you are going to insert a value under is
/SaveGame/player/mailReceived
You should already have some entries there even if its a fresh game. The developer tacks alot of different unrelated mail entry progress here
paste this in with the rest of the entries
<string>guildMember</string>

if you save that save file and reload your game you should now have access to the guild. Keep in mind you still have to wait the appropriate hours until the guild is open

heres a visual as well:

hope this helps someone else who runs into this problem
