- Laugh
- Clap
- Celebrate

Quest Tracking: Follow the Ray of LightSome players were finding it difficult to remember which townsperson they needed to return to when completing a Quest. In order to help alleviate some of this confusion, we've made some enhancements to the Quest tracking system. Now, when you are in the "return to townsperson" stage of completing a Quest, simply follow the ray of light and the yellow arrow at your feet to return to your townsperson.

A: One of the best ways is befriending someone with a War Galleon. War Galleons can hold the most cargo (16 crates), thus will yield the most gold when you return to port.
