Rule II first, then speak with Lin
The Summer 1 date is the earliest availability, not a promise that the catalog appears before the required story progress.
01 · Story
Complete Rule II
Do not treat the calendar date as an automatic unlock independent of story progress.
02 · Earliest date
Year 1 Summer 1
The catalog is available from the first day of Summer once Rule II is complete.
03 · NPC
Lin at the Chief's residence
Use Lin's Chief-residence interaction to enter the Delivery Catalog.
Unlock record: Chief Deliveries become available from Year 1 Summer 1 after Rule II is complete, through Lin at the Chief's residence.
Completing a catalog unlocks the category reward; it does not automatically construct the building or renovation. Use Buildings & Renovation for the Kisuke action.

Open FishingFAQ
Chief Delivery questions
When do Chief Deliveries unlock?
The Chief Delivery Catalog becomes available from Year 1 Summer 1 after Rule II is complete. Speak with Lin at the Chief's residence.
How many Chief Delivery catalogs are there?
There are eight catalogs with four fixed requirement groups each, for 32 groups total.
What unlocks the Bird Bath?
Complete all four Hunting Goods groups. The category completion reward is the Bird Bath.
What unlocks the Large Fish Pond?
Complete all four Fish groups. The Fish category completion reward is the Large Fish Pond.
What unlocks the Greenhouse?
Complete all four High-Quality Goods groups. The Greenhouse is the category completion reward; Glass Rod ×150 is a known construction requirement after the unlock.
How many Amago are required?
The Fish medium group requires Amago ×3.
How much Branded Cashmere is required?
The High-Quality Goods animal fiber group requires Branded Cashmere ×3.
Do one contest or one delivery group unlock a major building?
No. A contest can help create branded inputs, but the Bird Bath, Large Fish Pond and Greenhouse are category-completion rewards.
Are Chief Deliveries the same as villager Requests?
No. Chief Deliveries are the fixed Village Chief Delivery Catalog. Ordinary villager Requests and Helping Tasks are separate systems.
Do deliveries automatically construct the unlocked building?
No. Completing a catalog unlocks its category reward; functional buildings and renovations still use the relevant Kisuke construction flow.
Which catalogs unlock building styles?
Vegetables unlock Brick construction, Flowers unlock Thatched Roof, Fruit unlocks Log House style, Livestock Products unlock Stucco construction and Processed Goods unlock Western-style construction.
Finishing every catalog also contributes to Kiki Delivery Service, the Chief Delivery completion achievement. These binder submissions remain separate from ordinary Shipping Box shipment counters. The Hunting category’s Bird Bath reward is explained separately in Wild Birds & Bird Drops. For action-specific construction costs and the unlock-versus-built distinction, continue to Buildings & Renovation. For a reverse lookup of delivery materials and their other uses, open Resources & Item Uses.
