Random Villager Requests
Normal requests can come from the village Bulletin Board or appear through conversations with villagers. The Bulletin Board becomes available early in Year 1, around Spring 8 in current walkthrough data.
Reward
¥1,000
Relationship
Friendship increase
Deadline
Usually 5–7 days
Completing a posted request does not immediately replace it with a new one. The request remains on the Bulletin Board until its original deadline expires, after which the board can refresh.
The full random request item pool is not currently documented as a fixed list. Requests may ask for different items depending on progression, including items the player has not encountered yet.
Examples, not a complete request pool.
Spring Helping Ticket Tasks
During Spring story progression, Rin gives Helping Tickets that lead into a fixed set of villager tasks. These are progression tasks rather than the repeatable ¥1,000 random requests.

Planning Order
Requests are easier to manage when you separate one-time unlocks from repeatable deliveries. Use the filters above to identify the next dependency, then gather only the materials that support the route you are currently following.
Start with access
Mountain access, the Crossroads Shrine, hunting licenses and other system unlocks can open additional sources for later requests. Check the task unlocks before spending time on a delivery that depends on a locked area.
Then build supply
Use the Crops Guide for seasonal produce, the Livestock Guide for animal products and the Processing Guide for pickles, alcohol and seasonings.
Keep rare items separate
Fish, hunting materials and rare gems can appear in multiple systems. Before delivery, compare the request with Fishing, Hunting and Resources so you do not consume an item needed elsewhere.
Finish by category
The Delivery Catalog is not a random request list. Track one category at a time, use the local progress controls, and leave luxury or branded requirements until the relevant quality and ranking systems are ready.
Localization and Data Note
This guide uses the current Japanese release. The 12 Spring Helping Tasks and 32 Delivery Catalog groups are substantially documented, while the ordinary villager-request item pool remains dynamic and is not treated as a fixed complete checklist.
Some English item, furniture and building names may change when official localization is available. Medium Fish production uses Japanese Mitten Crab ×3, Amago ×3 and Hotokedojo ×3; older conflicting source values are retained only in research records.
Where to Go Next
Open the system guide for the item source or progression route you need next.
FAQ
Normal requests can appear on the Bulletin Board or through conversations with villagers.
Most ordinary requests documented in current guides last roughly five to seven days, although the exact deadline can vary.
No. Ordinary villager requests are a recurring random system, so this guide does not pretend there is a fixed complete list of every possible request.
The currently documented Helping Ticket sequence contains 12 villager tasks.
There are eight categories with four groups each, for 32 fixed delivery groups in total.
Complete all four Fish Delivery Catalog groups: Small Fish, Medium Fish, Large Fish and Phantom Fish.
Some premium crop and livestock deliveries require branded goods tied to the contest/ranking system rather than ordinary versions of the item.
