When do new gratitude crystal quests appear

zelda-skyward-sword

I'm tired of running around Skyloft every time I return from the surface or accomplish something elsewhere to look for new quests to earn gratitude crystals. At which points in the game do each of the side quests unlock? I don't want to know what the quests are, just when I should go looking.

According to ZeldaDungeon.net (don't click the link if you don't want to know the quests), the requirements are (in no particular order):

  • Requirements: Complete Skyview Temple
  • Requirements: Meet Batreaux, and learn about Gratitude Crystals (this is the only sidequest that rewards 10 gratitude crystals, make sure you get both bunches!)
  • Requirements: Complete Lanayru Mining Facility
  • Requirements: Complete Lanayru Mining Facility (there are two)
  • Requirements: Acquire Scrapper
  • Requirements: Defeat The Imprisoned.
  • Requirements: Obtain the Clawshots
  • Requirements: Use the item check frequently
  • Requirements: Defeat The Imprisoned a second time.
  • Requirements: Defeat Levias, Speak with Strich on Bug Rock
  • Requirements: Complete Faron's portion of the Song of the Hero
  • Requirements: Complete Din's portion of the Song of the Hero

And for the individiual, non-quest Gratitude Crystals, just note that some of them require the Clawshots (or, alternatively, the Beetle speed/distance upgrades).
