so you CAN find xiangling wtf

How on earth did the first person found out about you can give the ingredients to Xiangling????

>>5 I found her by the bamboo forest by going to the teleport waypoint that the boars always run into you from. I did it right after Chef Mao asked me for ingredients

Guys.. i can't find Xiangling :( I looked everywhere near the map picture that says where she should be, but i can't find her. the last thing I did was talk to chef mao, and he told me to get ingredients. did i go too far? or do I have to get the dish from him first?

Hi, if anyone is afraid because they accidentally only talked to Chef Mao and forgot about Xiangling, do not worry! The commission does come back, with all the same text and mission. It's just up to your luck to get it! Good luck!

I finally got the commission but I went to Chef Mao and he gave me a dish. I went back to Xudong and I didn't know that I could also go see xiangling, and now she's gone and I have no notes. I can't find her. do I have to wait for the commission to open up again? I've been waiting for such a long time T_T

So I was worried at first, because I gave Chef Mao the ingredients instead of Xiangling. However, even if you give him the ingredients, you can still go to Xiangling, and she will give you hand written notes. When you talk to Xudong, it will prompt you to give Xiangling's notes.

I gave the ingredients to Chef Mao and received his dish. Then I went to see Xiangling and she gave me her notes. I gave Xiangling's notes to Xudong and received the Boom Shaka Laka achievement. So it looks like the ingredients don't have to go to Xiangling, all you have to do is consult her!
