I made this small guide for those people that are like me and want every rare character they find in various games. This guide will NOT show the characters that you can recruit randomly when you visit islands, like Hongmei for example. This is strictly for the ones that you get from doing their quests. Now with roving adventurers! I also added what starting weapon they have and manual in case you wanted to prepare for a waifu/husbando or whatever :)
I also want to say that they do come with a random bloodline, so if you really want the perfect adventurer then be sure to save before turning in the last quest. If the quest doesen't end with "talk to X/inform X or something similiar then it will auto finish so be sure to save before that.
If the quest has a collect objective then you don't need to craft it, so you can have it stocked before you get to the actual quest.

The first 3 islands in this guide will be the ones you can start the game with, after that I made it in no particular order. Regarding the roving adventurers, they MIGHT pop up on other islands for you than what they did for me. For example I am pretty sure that I got Judy in Treasure Island on my other playthrough but this time I got her in Lonely Park. And again, I added for BLUE and PINK. Green adventurers I let you discover ;)

Kerik - Sword&Shield - Helping Heart


Quest 1: Kill the Starfish King

Ps. Kerik has a completely different icon on the world map. The one above is his actual model right now.

Quest 3: Kill x8 Grim Reaper (spawned by killing Red Chest Monsters)

Ps. This was by far the most annoying person for me to get, so unless it's been patched, be ready for a world of hurt. The red Chest Monsters are sandwhiched between two Evil Mike and they hit pretty hard and are tanky. So I had to have two groups of my best fighters in a kill Mike bounty while I had another group farming the chests. Even if more Grim Reapers spawn, you only get credit for 1...

So for this guide I created a new game and played it through and it took a while. And obviously I didn't play every single day and such so there might be some errors here and there when it comes to names etc. The developers patch quite frequently so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, these are the adventurers that I could find. I don't know if they have added new ones or if I just missed someone. The game version for my save is 1.6.8 1.7.6 so much could have happened since!

Hope it helps!

Edit: Guide updated with blue/pink roving adventurers in a new save file. Also edited some quest parts in other areas.
