![]() Hardwood is not common unless you’re on the Foraging map (Forest), which makes Lumberjack attractive - for that you need the Forester skill at level 5. Which skill choices should you make, at level 5 or level 10? At level 5, you have a choice between Forester (wood sells for more money) and Gatherer (sometimes when you forage items, you get a double harvest.) Wood’s really useful, so there’s little point in selling it Gatherer is obviously attractive when you’re still finding that forage contributes noticeably to your income. If you’ve only got a little energy to spare, clear isolated branches and logs cutting weeds with a scythe is still free. If you’ve got time and energy, it is good to clear up fallen branches and logs, and cut the weeds - this leaves more room for the game to spawn the things you’re interested in collecting. Rubble gradually spreads in the forest just as it does on your farm. Now that’s using the forests for what they’re good for! You can’t plant seeds outside your farm, but new trees will gradually regrow in exactly the same spot - you can cut them again a season later. You can’t cut trees in Pelican Town, and you can’t cut trees of types that won’t grow on your farm, but Pine, Maple and Oak trees can be cut on the other maps. It is possible to find that the trees on your farm don’t satisfy your timber needs. The Secret Woods is also a good source for foraging mushrooms, and fiddlehead fern. Four of them are obvious but two are hidden. In the Secret Woods you will find 6 hardwood stumps you can cut these renew every day. There is a Hardwood Log in Cindersap Forest which you will need to cut down in order to unblock the entrance to the Secret Woods. (Lumberjack skill at Foraging level 10 will also yield some Hardwood from normal trees.) You will need to find your way into the Secret Woods. Hardwood becomes quite useful in the later game, but unless you have chosen the Foraging map, you will not normally get more of it from your farm. (Naturally these also yield Foraging XP.) You will need an upgrade to a copper axe to clear Hardwood Stumps and another upgrade to a steel axe to clear Hardwood Logs. (Berries are usually found elsewhere too, but there aren’t the sheer numbers of bushes along the roads as there are in Cindersap Forest.)Ĭutting down trees requires fewer swings when you have upgraded your axe. There are great numbers of berries to be found in Cindersap Forest (south exit from your farm) during the 4 days of each berry season, and they make good fuel for early trips to the mines. When the Living on the Land program comes up on the TV, it will give you a tip about the game, which is often relevant to foraging - so, for example, the beginning of each Berry season will be mentioned. Walking around looking for valuables takes time, but no energy it’s a very useful thing for an early character to be doing. However, Foraging also includes woodcutting - you gain Foraging XP for cutting down trees, and you find cutting down trees costs less energy after you’ve gained more Foraging levels. If you're a sucker for foraging then the Forest Farm will be your map, it's littered with hardwood tree stumps and regular foraging item spawns. You can also catch fish that are found in the Cindersap Forest pond, from your farm's pond.On the face of it, Foraging simply involves walking around the forests and beaches until you spot items you can pick up, and eat, craft or sell. It's also one of the best maps when you have a real idea of your farm layout as there's so much space. There aren't really any cons to this map which is why we recommend it especially for those playing for the first time. The Standard Farm is the default map we have all come to know maybe a little too well, this farm is a great choice for new and beginner players. If you're more of a seasoned player or want to go for a bit more of a challenge this probably won't be the one for you. If you aren't playing with friends, no worries. This map is actually great for solo players to plan out their farm layout, so if you're the type who is very particular about the placement of your buildings and crops then Four Corners might be the choice for you.
