WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Housing Plot garden, Kilima forage areas, Bahari Bay ingredient locations, and the fish habitat named by the recipe.
Work backward from a recipe instead of gathering at random. Separate home-grown crops from regional forage and habitat-specific fish, then collect only what the dish requires. This keeps rare ingredients available for requests and makes each trip productive.
Before you go Unlock the recipe and its cooking station. Read the complete ingredient list before gathering. Carry room for ingredients or store existing supplies at home. Open the recipe and list each ingredient, noting whether it is a crop, forage item, or fish. Check which ingredients you already have so you do not gather duplicates unnecessarily. Harvest needed garden crops from the Housing Plot, preserving seeds if you plan to replant. Travel to Kilima or Bahari according to the forage item’s region; Heat Root and Dari Cloves are Bahari forage. If the recipe needs fish, check its habitat and bait, then fish at the matching lake, coast, river, or cave pool. Return to the cooking station and prepare the dish using the recipe’s listed inputs. Store extra rare ingredients for future recipes or current requests before selling surplus. Farming tips Check the recipe first: some ingredients are region-bound and cannot be substituted by searching nearby. Keep a small reserve of rare forage when you expect to cook again or fulfill requests. Repeat, collect and use Repeat for each batch of meals; this is a gathering-and-cooking loop whose ingredients vary by recipe.
Common mistakes Gathering before reading the recipe: confirm every ingredient and quantity in-game first. Searching the wrong region for a spice: use the item’s listed habitat. Spending the last rare item on a dish with no immediate need: reserve request and planned cooking stock. When to stop or switch Stop gathering once the recipe’s ingredient list is complete; switch to another dish if a remaining item is unavailable in the region you can access.
