Foraging

Foraging, also called scavenging or gathering, is one of the masteries that involves the player gathering items in the wild on Coral Island and cutting trees. The player can use the items for various things, from gifts to cooking to selling them for money.

Foraging mastery

The player can increase their foraging mastery level by cutting down trees and regularly gathering items on the island. Most of these actions give the player foraging experience; as the player obtains more experience, their foraging mastery level improve, allowing them to unlock new crafting recipes and useful skills.

Experience

The player's actions that depend on and increase their foraging mastery level are detailed below. Foraging ocean scavengables will only give diving experience. Destroying trees using bombs will also provide points. Note that these are referring to trees growth state and not referring to fruit plants or fruit trees. Gathering any coconut will not provide foraging points.

needs description of some areas + verification if the daily spawns work as described

New forageable items can potentially appear overnight on the main island map. For item spawn purposes the map is divided into separate areas, with each area having its own limit on the number of items that can spawn there.

If left unharvested, the forageable items will disappear after a week.

The spawn limit in the table below denotes how many forageables can be present in an area before they stop spawning daily. If the limit is zero, that means no new forageables will spawn until all items present in the area are harvested or disappear.

Area name	Daily spawns	Limit	Description
Forest (Farm)	0-4	0	The part of the forest immediately west of the player's farm.
Forest (Lower)	0-4	0	The sunken part of the forest surrounding the Cavern and its neighboring stream.

List of forageable items

The items available for scavenging on the island change depending on the current season. Ocean and beach scavengables stay the same regardless of the season; additionally, there are several items available all year round.

Wild coconut palms growing on the island will bring harvest once per every season. The palms are only harvestable during specific dates and can be harvested once per season. When the player shakes a palm, they get 1-3 coconuts, with the variety of coconuts depending on the current season.

Picking up a scavengeable item in the wild or shaking a palm tree to harvest it consumes no energy.

Forecasting

Sturdy computer will have the ability to do forage forecasting once forage component is bought. It will show a UI with list of location and possible scavengeables for that day. The list of possible scavengeables will change depends on the season. If the UI is zoomed in, it will show the actual scavengeables in different spots in the map, either on land or under the sea.
