Gaga's Crayon Quests are the errands behind Cassandra's rainbow drawing. In the original game this was the Rainbow Week event. You need seven crayons, one per colour of the rainbow, and Gaga hands out each one only after you grow a flower for him. The flower takes 30 minutes to bloom, and nothing about the pot tells you that it is simply a wait.
The whole route
- Reach the right step of Cassandra's line. A Landscape with a Rainbow is unlocked by finishing Cassandra's Latest Information first (see event quest order).
- Accept A Landscape with a Rainbow from Cassandra. She gives you a Rainbow Drawing. Keep this quest open: Gaga's crayon quests are only offered while it is in progress.
- Talk to Gaga and accept one crayon quest. He gives you a Pot.
- Wait 30 minutes. The Pot turns into a Yellow Flower Pot by itself. Double-clicking it does nothing, and you do not need to. When it blooms the game tells you: The flower bud opened and a yellow flower bloomed.
- Hand the Yellow Flower Pot to Gaga. You receive 3,000 EXP and the crayon.
- Repeat for the other colours. You can only have one pot at a time: Gaga will not start a quest while you hold a Pot or a Yellow Flower Pot.
- Double-click the Rainbow Drawing to open it and feed it each crayon in turn. When all seven arcs are coloured, take it back to Cassandra for 30,000 EXP.
The crayon quests
| Quest | Crayon |
|---|---|
| Gaga's Red Crayon | Red Crayon |
| Gaga's Orange Crayon | Orange Crayon |
| Gaga's Yellow Crayon | Yellow Crayon |
| Gaga's Green Crayon | Green Crayon |
| Gaga's Blue Crayon | Blue Crayon |
| Gaga's Indigo Crayon | Indigo Crayon |
| Gaga's Violet Crayon | Violet Crayon |
| Gaga's Blue Crayon (second copy) | Your choice of any of the seven crayons |
Each crayon quest gives 3,000 EXP. The colour quests cannot be accepted while you already hold that colour's crayon.
Different from the original game In the original game Gaga lent a different colour each day of the week (Monday Red, Tuesday Orange, Wednesday Yellow, Thursday Green, Friday Blue, Saturday Indigo, Sunday Violet). MapleVerse has no day-of-week rule: every colour is available every day, so the seven crayons take about three and a half hours of waiting.
Common problems
- "The Yellow Flower Pot item says to watch it for 30 minutes, but nothing happens."
- Fixed. The pot now turns into the Yellow Flower Pot after 30 minutes counted from the moment you accepted the quest. The clock keeps running if you log out. If your ETC tab is full the pot waits and blooms once there is a free slot. If the 30 minutes have passed and you talk to Gaga before your pot has changed, the pot blooms as you hand it in.
- "Only one crayon quest shows when I talk to Gaga, but the Quest Log lists several."
- Fixed. Gaga's menu used to fold the crayon quests into one because they share the same goal. They are all listed now. Remember that each colour can only be started when you hold neither the pot nor that crayon.
- "Gaga offers no crayons."
- You need A Landscape with a Rainbow open. Accept it from Cassandra first.
- "Gaga shows a light bulb but has no quest."
- Fixed. See Mardi Gras Throws Quest Guide for the cause.
