Preparation Is Readiness: what to collect and where

Quick answer

Preparation Is Readiness is a "Track and collect" quest for three medicinal plants: in ThunderClan it asks for Medicinal Goldenrod Flowers at the Star-Path Ridges. In RiverClan, one player found theirs at The Horseplace in the east of the territory, and says the plants need a button press rather than walking through them.

Before you start

Kingy has not played the game. This page comes from launch footage checked on screen and one player's report, as marked.

What it asks for

In ThunderClan the quest panel reads Preparation Is Readiness, Star-Path Ridges, "Track and collect: Medicinal Goldenrod Flowers 0/3". We saw that panel in launch footage but not the collection itself, so we can't yet show where the three flowers grow.

RiverClan: The Horseplace

A RiverClan player followed the StarClan light and found nothing at the spot it showed. Another RiverClan player found the plants at The Horseplace in the east of RiverClan territory. That is one player's report, so treat it as a lead:

They say the plants looked like dandelions and needed a button press instead of just walking through them. After the first three, the counter went back from 3/3 to 0/3 and the marker moved to a second group of three further east along the road; collecting those finished the quest and sent them back to camp.

Warrior Cats Clans of the Forest Sunning-Spots & Secret Boss Locations Guide ↗PS5 guide video, uploaded October 23 (16:20). Its chapters list four sunning spots for each Clan's area (ThunderClan from 0:10, WindClan from 2:35, ShadowClan from 5:30, RiverClan from 10:05) and the four Clans' secret bosses from 13:54. Checked on screen October 25: at 0:12 the ThunderClan map shows the player's marker beside Rising-Mist Path; at 0:26 the cat stands on a fern bed on a flat stone with an Interact prompt; at 0:30 it lies curled up asleep there. At 0:34 the map marker sits at Dark Reed Stretch. Spot names for the other territories were not readable on the zoomed-out maps. At 0:26 and 0:28 the quest panel on screen reads Preparation Is Readiness, Star-Path Ridges, "Track and collect: Medicinal Goldenrod Flowers 0/3" (the video does not show that collection).Walkthrough · 25 Oct 2026

Stuck on Riverclan Quest Preperation is Readiness ↗Players' thread, 1 reply by October 25. The poster follows the StarClan light to RiverClan's Preparation Is Readiness spot and finds nothing; the quest only says track and collect. The reply found them at The Horseplace in the east of RiverClan territory: three plants that looked like dandelions and needed a button press rather than walking through them; then the marker moved to a second trio further east along the road and the counter went from 3/3 back to 0/3; the second trio completed the quest.Reported · 25 Oct 2026
