To unlock Reasons to Evolve you must first rank up the Guardiam Commander class in any of your characters up to Rank 10 and complete the For Colony 9 Standard Quest. However, unlocking this quest requires you to complete four more quests in Colony 9.
Once these conditions have been met, Zeon's Ascension Quest will become available. While Zeon is in your party, talk to Kite to begin the quest. Kite can be found inside Colony 9 and his location will be marked with a ?.

After talking to Kite, you need to gather information from four conversations around Colony 9. After listening to all these conversations, the topic The Fields will become available to discuss.
Discuss the topic The Fields in any Rest Spot to receive the next objective, which will be to visit Juniper at Colony Iota in the Pentelas Region. A short cutscene will play out after talking to Juniper.
Once the cutscene has finished, head to back to the Colony 9 Fields. After returning to the fields, the characters decide to find a new plot of land for farming. There will be three spots marked on your map as potential farm plots.
The two farm plots farther away from from Colony 9 cannot be used to farm. Only the one closest to the Colony 9 Rear Gate is applicable for the quest, so it is best to head straight there rather than checking out the other two spots.
Once you have selected a plot of land, you will need to talk to Kite inside Colony 9. You can find him next to a tent near the Colony 9 Rear Gate.
After talking to Kite, return to the Pentelas Region and head to Maktha Wildwood. You need to gather 10 Spongy Spuds found around the area where the map marker is located.
Once you have gathered 10 Spongy Spuds, return to the plot of land where the new fields will be set up. A cutscene will play out where the team and a few residents from Colony 9 start to plant the seeds.

After planting the seeds, you will need to wait for rain. However, you can speed speed this up by talking to Splishsplash, a Nopon who can call the rain for 10,000 G. They are found just northwest of the fields. During these portions of the quest, a ? will appear at the their location on the map.
Unfortunately the first batch of spuds is unsuccessful so you will need to return to the same area in Maktha Wildwood to gather 10 more Spongy Spuds.
After gathering the 10 Spongy Spuds return to the fields once more and plant the seeds again. You will also need to wait for rain a second time, but if you have enough gold, you can return to Splishsplash to call the rain.
Once it has rained and the seedlings have started sprouting, you will need to gather materials to make Url's Special Fertilizer. Talk to Url in Colony 9 to find out what materials he needs. Once the gauge reaches 100%, he will give you the fertilizer.
Item | Completion Rate |
---|---|
Helix Conch | +40% |
Sheperd's Purse | +5% |
Milky Soy | +10% |
Rich-Smelling Anlood Bone | +20% |

Rich-Smelling Anlood Bone is the best item to gather for the quest since it is relatively easy to farm from Rudoni Anloods, which are common to the northwest of Kamos Guidepost. It also fills up the gauge by 20%, so you will only need five of these to complete this objective.
Once you have the fertilizer in hand, return to the Spongy Spud Patch to give it to the saplings and wait for rain one final time. You can again talk to Splishsplash to call for rain if you still have the gold.
When you return to the fields after the rain, a few of the spuds will be ruined. Examine the the plants to find the five ruined spuds. Once you have examined all five of them, the topic Spongy Spud Woes can be discussed.
Once you have acquired the topic Spongy Spud Woes, head to any Rest Spot to discuss it. During the discussion, the squad decides to pluck out all the bad spuds so they do not affect the healthy spuds.
Return to the Spongy Spud Patch and pluck out all the bad spuds in the field. Once you have plucked all five bad spuds, head back to Colony Iota and talk to Juniper once more.
Head back to Colony 9 and make your way to the spud patch once again. Upon arriving, you'll see Kite defending the fields against a trio of monsters. Defeat all the monsters and watch one final cutscene to complete the quest.
