WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Hardwood tree patches on Fossil Island.

Hardwood trees on Fossil Island are a long-cycle Farming target. Plant suitable hardwood saplings in the island’s patches, leave them to grow, then return for the experience harvest. Treat the route as a periodic check alongside other Farming activities, not a same-session repeat farm.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Completion of Bone Voyage and access to Fossil Island.
  • Farming level and mahogany or another suitable hardwood sapling for the patch.
  • A spade and travel items for returning to the island.
  1. Confirm Bone Voyage is complete and gather the hardwood saplings you intend to plant.
  2. Travel to Fossil Island and locate the accessible hardwood patches.
  3. Plant a sapling in each patch you are using.
  4. Consider appropriate protection or payment for the tree before leaving.
  5. Allow the hardwood trees to mature while pursuing other activities.
  6. Return after the growth cycle, harvest the trees for Farming experience and decide whether to replant.

Farming tips

  • Put the return visit on a broad Farming checklist; a long growth cycle makes same-day checks unhelpful.
  • Plant only as many patches as your sapling supply and travel plan support.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat after each hardwood tree matures and is harvested. This is a long-interval, limited harvest loop.

Common mistakes

  • Attempting the route without Bone Voyage; unlock Fossil Island first.
  • Returning before trees mature; wait for the growth cycle to finish.
  • Planting without considering protection or the return trip; prepare both before leaving.

When to stop or switch

Stop after all ready hardwood trees are harvested and replanted, or when you have no saplings for another cycle.
