Find the Harvest Sprites - once more!

Over 8 years ago, the Harvest sprite quest was released on PokéHeroes. Back then it was our very first quest (and thus the original introduction of the Ancient Cave), later followed by more more additions, like the Raylóng quest, Giratina, Reshiram & Zekrom, and so on.
There were, however, always three major problems with this quest:

1) Shiny Harvest Sprites were never obtainable as it's a non-repeatable one-time quest
2) Some of the tasks are extremely RNG-/luck-based (and we just love that, don't we)
3) Story-wise, some of the hiding spots are simply ridiculous, mainly because certain necessary features/places didn't exist back then (e.g. the harvest sprite claiming to have its own berrygarden can be found - you guessed it - in the.... item shop? yeah.)

All of these issues are now going to be addressed in this major overhaul of the Harvest sprite quest!

Uh... What's the Harvest Sprite Quest?

Quick reminder: The Harvest Sprites are dwarfs (a mix between Victini and the Harvest Sprites from the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons videogame series) which you can find in their own little quest. This quest is started in the Ancient Cave. The Ancient Cave is unlocked on Trainerlevel 10.

New hiding spots

The hiding spots of (almost) all harvest sprites have changed. They are now much more skill-based and much less RNG-based.
First of, one thing hasn't changed: This quest is still not very comparable to the Easter egg event (or the Hoopa quest). You don't just browse around the site and randomly find them. Instead, you have to perform certain actions (multiple times) in order to find them. For example, you might have to do a certain amount of interactions. Or you might have to harvest a certain amount of berries. Who knows?

Would you like to know? Here is a SPOILER of the entire list of tasks you have to do in order to find all sprites:

Show hidden content

Chef: Cook 250 dishes (in your toolshed/berrygarden)

Nappy: Catch 25 Pokémon at the Honey tree. The next one you find at the honey tree will be Nappy himself.

Hoggy: Make 500,000 interactions in total.

Timid: Harvest a berry of Level 50 or higher.

Aqua: Adopt 1,000 eggs from the lab.

Staid: Catch 250 Pokémon at the beach (you don't have to adopt them)

Bold: Adopt 250 eggs from the Tall Grass.

Have you already met any of the criteria before this update but haven't received the Harvest Sprite in the past?
Simply perform the action required again, e.g. if the goal is 500k interactions, then do one more interaction.

You don't have to find them again if you already found them before the update. You can, however, now aim for their shiny version - which brings me to the second part of this overhaul:

Shiny Harvest Sprites

After finishing the Harvest Sprites quest for the first time (i.e. after the tea party), you can now restart the quest and play hide and seek with them again. On your second attempt, all sprite eggs you receive are shiny!
The tasks you have to do in order to find them in the second round, however, are much much harder. They're shinies, after all.

Would you like to know the tasks? Here is a SPOILER of the entire list of tasks you have to do in order to find all shiny sprites:

Show hidden content

Chef: Cook 10,000 dishes (in your toolshed/berrygarden)

Nappy: Catch 500 Pokémon at the Honey tree. The next one you find at the honey tree will be Nappy himself.

Hoggy: Make 10,000,000 interactions in total.

Timid: Have at least 10 different berries at Level 100.

Aqua: Adopt 50,000 eggs from the lab.

Staid: Catch 10,000 Pokémon at the beach (you don't have to adopt them)

Bold: Adopt 7,500 eggs from the Tall Grass.

Have you already met any of the criteria before this update but haven't received the Harvest Sprite in the past?
Simply perform the action required again, e.g. if the goal is 500k interactions, then do one more interaction.

FAQ

Q: Do my actions before (re-)starting the quest count? E.g. if I need to reach a certain amount of interactions, do my interactions made before count as well?
A: Yes! Technically you can reach the goals before even starting the quest, but you won't receive a Harvest Sprite for it until you start the quest. If the task is X interactions, and you already did X interactions before starting the quest, then just perform one more interactions so you trigger the code responsible for giving you the egg.

Q: Can I trade these Pokémon?
A: No, Harvest Sprites (Regular + Shiny) are trade-locked.

The berry preferences are based on the Pokémon's nature, a CutePikaEevee has rightfully pointed out. This is based on the original Pokémon games, see the following charts taken from Bulbapedia

Sciissor: There is a multitude of things you can do to maximise your berry output. More gardens will allow you to grow more berries simultaneously, of course. Also growing higher level berries will give you more berries when transferring them back to your berry bag, so you might want to focus on levelling up your seeds. Maybe you find the Berrygarden wiki article helpful.

This bug has now been fixed and the easter egg event has been extended by 24 hours. It now ends tomorrow at midnight. Prizes can also be claimed one day later than expected - sorry again!
Please make sure to click on all easter eggs again which you found today. Make sure that all of them are properly ticked with a green "tick" symbol on the event page.

<div id="redfield">Special Event Rule:
You are not allowed to spoil the Easter Egg Locations to other players!</div>

Wreafki's Easter Egg Event

<img src="//staticpokeheroes.com/img/news/easter2022.png" style="float: right; margin-top: -44px; margin-left: 12px">
Cute Wreafki were seen floating around in Emera Town: They carry fancy colored eggs with them, which they hide carefully in all different spots!
It's Easter Week - and as it's tradition in this town, not only children search for Easter Eggs, but also motivated Pokémon Trainers! As everyone knows, when you collect enough Easter Eggs, you receive a brandnew Event Pokémon!.

Task:
Our great community created 20 beautiful Easter Eggs in an exciting Spriting contest during the last few weeks. The winner eggs have now been hidden on PokéHeroes, and you have to find them (click on them)!
They can be anywhere: In your settings, in town, in the forums*, hidden in old news... everywhere**! Userprofiles are excluded, so don't fall for trolls in 'About Me's!
Just like last year, the locations vary for every trainer. There are over 140 different locations this year - and every trainer has 20 randomly*** selected locations from that pool.
However, the eggs are obviously still static for you in their location. For example, when one of your easter egg locations is the Daycare, it will always stay there until you find it. It will not move around or (dis)appear randomly.

* If one of your eggs is hidden in a forum thread, then you find the egg in every thread and on every page of it. They are never bound to a specific thread. Therefore if you don't find any egg in this news thread, you will not find an egg in any other forum thread.
** Trainerlevel 15 may be required to access all possible locations. You may also need special items that unlock certain areas, such as the PokéRadar or the Egg Radar. Premium membership is not required.
*** To have a fair event, the randomize algorithm considers location difficulties in its calculation. That means that it's not possible for a user to have 15 "easy" locations while someone else has 15 "hard" locations. The algorithm tries to balance the difficulty as best as possible.

This graphic illustrates where the eggs can be hidden on the page: Egg Areas.
They can all be found on small screens, as well as on mobile devices.

Event Prizes:
After finding sixteen eggs, you receive a brandnew Event Pokémon.
After finding all twenty eggs, you also receive a special item reward.
It will be possible to claim your rewards on April 19th (and it will remain possible to claim them for two weeks).

<br style="clear: both">

Event Rule:
Even though the locations are random for every player, you are still not allowed to spoil any location anywhere on PokéHeroes! Telling someone where you found an egg will lead to a disqualification from this event.
When you see someone asking for help/hints, do not answer them as you are only risking your own participation in this event!

<div id="redfield">Special Event Rule:
You are not allowed to spoil the Easter Egg Locations to other players!</div>

Enjoy and happy holidays! c:

07/04/2022:

GTS Trades now expire automatically after 2 months (yes, this time for real... I feel like I had to fix this for the fifth time now).
It is possible that you just received a glitched warning saying "Your offer on USERNAME's trade was cancelled. [...]" with no actual username being given. Please ignore this. It has also been fixed and will (/should) work in the future.
