How to Increase Star Quality

Improve Nature Sprite Level for Forageables, Fish, and Bugs

Upon meeting the Nature Sprites from Spring 13, and unlocking the Sprite Levels system from their house found in the far southeast of Zephyr Town via a glider from Spring 19, you can now share Forageables, Fish, Bugs, and more to the Nature Sprites.

Doing so will level up their Sprite Levels, which increases the obtained Star Quality of a particular type of item. Raising Ivy's level for example boosts all Forageables' quality the next time you obtain them!
