Re: Short Questions/Quick Answers Ritual skills are indeed learned through quests, but the quest givers need not be sages. Many quests have a random type of reward, where a new ritual is one possibility, but the rate at which you get new rituals is rather slow, so not getting any for half a year doesn't sound off (I think my character has gotten 3, including a "fixed" one when the character has been deemed ready, in a bit over 1 year).

The current system of pleasing the spirits seem to be in the need of balancing, as you can't sacrifice fast enough (due to the rate limitation) to keep them from hating you unless you essentially cease to catch small game. I'm not sure about fishing (haven't done enough to get any data), but it seems all general sacrifices go into a single pool shared between at least catching game, fish, and a summoning that requires a sacrifice. I'm not sure if cutting down trees count as well, but suspect it does, but eventually you're probably finished with your building projects.

Re: Short Questions/Quick Answers Quests happen when talking with any villager, you won't get them only from a sage. Just do the regular greeting conversation and at random intervals someone will mention something that will lead you to a quest or to another villager that needs help/has a quest.

They should happen much more frequently than 1 or 2 per year, but not every time you visit a village.

The news.txt in your game folder will give more info from Sami about quests and the new rituals.

Re: Short Questions/Quick Answers Quests ought to appear a fair bit more often than a few times a year, as JEB Davis said, but ritual resulting ones are rarer.
Note, however, that quests are not generated as a result of your visiting villages, but rather happen on their own, allowing you to encountering them when visiting villages. This means that your closest village might not have a quest, but the next one over might.
Also there are "private" quests that are offered to you only if you talk to the quest giver: the other villagers don't know about the quest, so they can't direct you to the quest giver.

I tend to try to visit the closest village around once every 3-4 weeks, and if I don't find a visit on the first visit I'll return home, and then make sure to try to talk to everyone the next time. If I don't get a quest then either I try to check the other nearby villages. However, with previous characters I've instead had one or more "visiting circles" where I visit a sequence of villages on every outing (my last character went to 3 villages in one direction and 1 in another, alternating between the circuits. It depends on what's reasonable/convenient with respect to where your character has settled. I prefer to have circuits that can be completed in one day.
