This guide is intended to limit in-game time to an absolute minimum while still allowing the PC to go to bed every night to hook up with Kiyoko. I will have my Day 18 file attached. The sole reason that it is a day later is to have future content with the elf druid twins available which is impossible without losing a day.
Critical!!!: You must encounter as few enemies as possible to complete this timetable. Even just encountering and defeating an enemy was take away as much as 30 min which is time that often cannot be spared.
Critical!!!: This game basically operates on two concepts that I like to call break points and warps. How an events time is structure is that an event is scheduled for a certain time. If you are before this time (even by only 1 minute) then the time gets moved to the time and the event starts. If you are after the time, then time gets moved to the next day and then gets moved to the event time and then starts. An example of this is during the Relic of Respute quest, the event start is about 17:00. If you begin the quest before that time, it will take you to 17:00. If you begin after 17:00, time will advance 1 day then take you to the event time. Warps are times where the game will send you to another location way faster than logically should be due to it being set on a fixed time interval. An example of this is recruiting Quinn which will take you to Hawkthorne in only 2 hrs no matter how far away you are when it triggers.
Note: This guide is for all Act 1 quests except for Ninja Stylin', Caparison Hunter, Nothing Line Housework, Bewitched, Golden Carrot, Sweetest Climax, and Attitude Adjustment. (NS is trivial. CH, NLH, BW are way easier to complete during Act 2. GC will cost an additional day. Sweetest Climax is best done in act 2 due to time considerations. AA is a massive time sink).
Note: If you go to sleep at 5:59 am or earlier then you don't rollover to the next day.
Note: If you want to stay pure but plan on taking some corrupt actions or use corrupt TFs the get velun's blessing from Sanders first.
Important: Some interactions will put you ahead of 5:59 am no matter what you do. I will try to note when this happens.
Important: Save all Study Stone, Pristine Wood, Broken Metal Parts, Lingering Embers, Leananstone and Winterstem.
Important: Hug Ryn everyday and get her a stuff animal.
Important: Try to have at least 1 lingering ember in your inventory at all times. Try to stock up on camping supplies as well.
Recommended: Get 1 Lucky Strike from Kohaku as soon as possible. It's a great early game boost and helps with your EC.
Optional: Mad Cow has some weird timing that complicates this guide. The general gist is that the quest events are triggered when in/entering the Hawkthorne inn after some time with Brint being in your party after the previous event. About a day for initial concern, another day for asking for relief, and about 2 days for the final transformation. During the asking for relief, always wait it out, the other options take several hours instead of two.
Occasionally in the guide I'll put in downtime. For downtime, TF companions, read spell tomes, Transform yourself, etc. (That is if you want to)
Day 0: Talk to Cait, recruit and unlock her alternative set. Talk to Garth, Get Quests Farmhand Freeholds, and Right of Conquest. Buy 1 Camping Supply (2 if you want to help kitsunes) Get Storage Chest from Garth (If you have the spare cash else just get it another day). Go to Old Forest and go all the way to the right to get Kiyoko. Get the Witches Corset before you go camp. Explore western half of the forest then camp.
Day 1: Vivian's dream should proc. Explore eastern half of the forest. Go to the top of the Forest and encounter the vines block your path. Make sure you encounter Ninian 5 times, and you Fuck Sugo free (It's much faster than pushing) before exiting the old forest. Also make sure that you get the witch's outfit. Go to Harvest Valley. Go to the NE most part after about 20:00 to get the summon hopllite power. Find Quin and Escort him to warp back. Make sure you get at least one cultist charm!
Day 2: (Timing is extremely tight on this) Get quest Dog Days. Talk to Quin. Make sure you have 1 trail ration (2 if you haven't helped the kitsunes yet), 1 lingering ember, 1 camping supply, and the Amulet of Transference. Talk to Brother Sanders and get the quest Velun's sword. Enter Hethia's Lair. To solve it peacefully talk to Garret. Encounter Eryka to warp back. Talk to Sanders about Hethia. If you haven't encountered Viviane before then a trick is to start here first encounter before 24:00 and then encounter Viviane after 24:00. Enter Hethia's Lair. (Sexing Hethia will push you past 6am)
Day 3: Talk to Garret to fight the Alrune. Keep Cait in your party. (I would switch Brint for Ryn though). Go north to Lady Evergreen's House. Get quest inheritor of idols.

Go back to the Den to activate their Gate. Go to the Eastern half of the forest and complete secret. (For the secret fight, I find that Witch Cait and Arena Brint work best, but it's a complete crapshoot at level 3. If you have the spare time, I would learn Kiaijutsu from the tome since that works pretty well. Also, you will probably have to use your Wyldsap.)
Day 5: Fight off Atugia. Activate Hawkthorne Wayshrine. Get quest Missing Meows. Meet and Greet Livrea. Complete Royal Amnesty. Explore northern half of the foothills. Camp before you get to Shar.

Explore enough to Proc Ahrmi and the quest harboring a fugitive (To proc Ahrmi, you have to encounter. Try to also grind encounters with Sariel.
Day 11: Finish Harvest Valley Objectives from Day 10. Cross bridge. Go to Marefolk Village and activate Wayshrine. Start Mad Cow if you want to.
Day 12: Talk to Garret about the Fort. Complete Shades of the Past with Arona in your Party. Go to the north exit of the old forest from the wayfort. Challenge/Talk to Azzy as many times as you can before you need to camp. Proc Ain't Afraid of no Ghost.
