The statue is complete. However my tribal chief was a child. I forward the time so she would be 18. It still says thaat she lacks the skills to complete this task. How do I complete this.

Firstly this should be marked a spoiler theard... Second highlight to read

SPOILER! : Firstly a builder must pick up the peral and take it to the waterfall, then a scientist must shape the peral. Finally the chief picks it up and takes it to the clam! : END SPOILER!

Hi! Poofy.......... :
well i dont think u can seek help when u r time travling "cheating wid time" as all VVs r based on real time u need to gv time to ur Villagers to learn. or if ur travling wid time be vry sure n accurate fr tht.

It's already been mentioned that we can't help if you "time travelled". That can have various unexpected and unpleasant effects and is unwise, to say the least.

It also won't help to say that you didn't need to time travel. The fact that your chief is a child makes no difference.

Oh, yes...time travelling...eek...in case you didn't know, time travelling can cause tons of problems with your game and your computer. There are several informative threads about it. It is true that time-travelling is frowned upon because it is considered 'cheating', but also, if you were unaware...it can be very detrimental to your game and system.

As Arnie said, for your particular puzzle, you do not necessarily need an adult chief so time travelling is no help here...but moreso, it is not needed in the entire game. The game is set up so that everything can be accomplished through normal game play and no time adjustments.

Just thought I'd let you know, in case you didn't. Good luck!

I'm having a similar problem with my TC. I bring him to the pearl and it says he lacks the skills to finish this object. He is 34 years old!!! Yes, he was a child when he became chief about 3-4 days ago. (I have NO IDEA what people are talking about when the talk about time traveling!!! Good thing!!)
But, since he doesn't do any other work, how can I get him the "skills" to complete this job?

There are several steps to this puzzle, each of which requires a different skill. The chief is the last part. Try other villagers with various skills for the first 2 parts.

The solution to this puzzle has already been posted in this thread. Look for the spoiler tags, and highlight them to reveal the text.
