This is a general guide for the  Foraging skill. It focuses on your progression from The Park and Galatea, as well as provide strategies for  Hunting.

The Basics

There are three stats that are integral to your Foraging progression: ∮ Sweep, ☘ Foraging Fortune, and ☯ Foraging Wisdom.

• ∮ Sweep represents how many blocks are broken with each chop. For example, 7 ∮ Sweep would break 7 logs at a time. However, some trees have higher toughnesses, meaning you need higher ∮ Sweep to overcome it. For older or returning players, this is what the  Jungle Axe (now the Spruce Axe) and  Treecapitator's abilities used to be. The scaling is not linear, however, as it is instead a LOGarithmic scaling with more ∮ Sweep required the more logs you would break. It also affects how fast you can break the log.
• ☘ Foraging Fortune represents the chance to get multiple logs per drop. When paired with high ∮ Sweep, this can lead to a high quantity of logs being obtained at a time.
• ☯ Foraging Wisdom represents how much  Foraging XP you gain from foraging. If you want to reach high  Foraging levels, it is best to get a lot of ☯ Foraging Wisdom, although you won't get much in the early-game.

Other stats important once you enter the ⏣ Moonglade Marsh are ⚶ Respiration, ❍ Pressure Resistance, and especially ☘ Hunter Fortune, once you dabble more into Hunting. ✦ Speed and ❁ Strength are also relevant for certain Heart of the Forest perks.

The Park

Before you gain access to ⏣ Galatea, you will primarily be foraging in ⏣ The Park, split up into five sections, each for a different type of wood.

• The ⏣ Birch Park contains Birch, whose collection most notably has the  Foraging Sack. It also has a pond for fishing, and you can give coins to Vanessa to make it rain and spawn Squids as well as having the chance to fish up Night Squids.
• The ⏣ Spruce Woods contain Spruce, whose collection most notably has the  Spruce Axe and  Wolf Pet. You can start the Woods Race here, and talk to the Joyful Viking and complete his quest for some items who could be useful.
• The ⏣ Dark Thicket contains Dark Oak, whose collection most notably has the  Armor of Growth that upgrades into  Mastiff Armor. The Trials of Fire can be found here, as well as the ⏣ Howling Cave, a zone for Wolf Slayer.
• The ⏣ Savanna Woodland contains Acacia Wood, whose collection most notably has the  Repelling Candle and  Acacia Birdhouse. Master Tactician Funk sells the  Wood Singularity, which grants +25 ☘ Foraging Fortune when applied to an Axe: the ⏣ Soul Cave, a zone for Wolf Slayer and considered by many to be the best zone of the three, can also be found here.
• The ⏣ Jungle Island contains Jungle Wood, whose collection most notably has the  Treecapitator, the upgrade from the  Spruce Axe, as well as the  Ocelot Pet. The Romero and Juliette quest can be found and started here, as well as the ⏣ Spirit Cave, a zone for Wolf Slayer.

For the sake of conciseness, we will not provide strategies about Wolf Slayer: however, it is worth getting into, since compared to Zombie Slayer and Spider Slayer, it's trivially easy with high enough ❤ Health, ❂ True Defense, and a good enough weapon, and it leads to a lot of useful items like the  Overflux Power Orb and  Mastiff Armor.

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Early Game		Promising Axe		Should only be used until you get a  Spruce Axe.
Early Game		Spruce Axe	Spruce Log II	The  Spruce Axe will likely be your first introduction to ∮ Sweep and completely invalidates almost every axe obtained before this. This will be your main axe up until you obtain a  Treecapitator, so you should get Efficiency V on it as soon as possible.
Early Game		Treecapitator	Jungle Log VII	A direct upgrade over the  Spruce Axe, having high ∮ Sweep and being excellent in ⏣ The Park, while still being usable in ⏣ Galatea.

Galatea

As is the case with how ⏣ The Park is the ⏣ Deep Caverns of Foraging, ⏣ Galatea is the ⏣ Dwarven Mines.

Moonglade Marsh

Upon entering the ⏣ Moonglade Marsh for the first time, you'll be introduced to Starlyn Contests, Tree Gifts, and  Hunting.

• Starlyn Contests are contents held by the Starlyn Sisters where you accumulate points by doing activities related to Foraging, similar to Jacob's Farming Contests.
• Tree Gifts are rewards given to the player for contributing to chopping down trees in Galatea.
•  Hunting is a skill where players hunt creatures for Attribute Shards and fuse Shards together using a multitude of different methods. This tutorial will not cover Hunting in detail.

Agatha's Contests

Agatha hosts Starlyn Contests every single day, rewarding points for different activities performed on the ⏣ Moonglade Marsh. It lasts for 1 day in SkyBlock Time, which translates to 20 minutes in real life, and is active every day.

Doing pretty much anything on the Moonglade Marsh will give points: Tree Gifts grant 10 points each, and you gain 3 points per 100  Fig Logs chopped. On the surface, chopping Fig Trees looks like a terrible idea: it grants the second least amount of points out of everything. However, with high enough ∮ Sweep, an entire Fig Tree could be chopped down in seconds.

Other strategies are as follows:

•  Mangrove Logs are worth going for with high enough ∮ Sweep, although  Fig Logs are way more efficient.
•  Mudworm Shards can occasionally be found as particles in the ground, which you should never ignore as they are typically worth a lot. If they don't give a  Mudworm Shard, they will give several hundred  Fig Logs and  Mangrove Logs.
•  Hideonleaf Shards are a high-demand shard that always has high prices, as well as being required for all the shards in the Shulker family as well as  Cuboa Shards. They are not very good for Hunting XP or points, but extremely profitable for its low barrier of entry.
•  Lushlilac bushes gives 9 points each harvested, which can easily allow for anyone with an  Aspect of the End to reach LEGENDARY in the contest. Additionally, the  Bullfrog Shard's Berry Enjoyer attribute has a chance to double points acquired from this method.
•  Fishing, especially when combined with catching most sea creatures via a  Medium Pocket Black Hole, can provide high amounts of points, but is not a consistently viable strategy to use for LEGENDARY results.
• Killing Chillblades and Chillshots can give a high amount of points, which is useful for Bestiary grinding or obtaining  Mob the Fish. They also drop the  Runeblade Talisman, 72 of which are needed for the  Runeblade Artifact.

Axe Progression

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Early Game		Treecapitator	Jungle Log VII	The  Treecapitator should be the first axe you use in ⏣ Galatea, granting high ∮ Sweep but not a lot of ☘ Foraging Fortune on Galatea. It is the best-in-slot axe on ⏣ The Park.
Early Game		Seriously Damaged Axe	Foraging XII	Only useful for killing your first few chills for the quest until you acquire the  Fig Hew, very skippable option.
Early Game		Fig Hew	Foraging XII	While the  Fig Hew may seem worse than the  Decent Axe at first, it becomes stronger once you chop enough trees and can be upgraded into the  Figstone Splitter.
Mid-Game		Figstone Splitter	Foraging XV	The  Figstone Splitter is currently the best axe in the game, granting substantial ☘ Foraging Fortune and ∮ Sweep. Its Super Frenzy ability grants +1 ∮ Sweep per 10,000 logs chopped on Galatea, which may seem like a daunting task at first, but is actually incredibly easy to level up.

Armor Progression

Status	Slot	Name	Requirements	Notes
Early Game		Park Armor		Park Armor is the first set you'll obtain with ☘ Foraging Fortune, making it useful until  Canopy Armor is obtained.
Early Game		Canopy Armor	Foraging XII	Canopy Armor is useful up until the point where you upgrade it to  Fig Armor. Although it does not give base ☘ Foraging Fortune, it grants decent ∮ Sweep and can have Boosters applied to it.
Universal		Fig Armor	Foraging XV	Fig Armor is currently the best set for Foraging, granting the most ☘ Foraging Fortune and ∮ Sweep. It can have Boosters applied to it, which grants +1 ☯ Foraging Wisdom and increased ☘ Foraging Fortune and ∮ Sweep.
Late Game		Storm's Armor	Floor VII completion	Storm's Armor and  Aurora Armor, granting high ✎ Intelligence, is often used by endgame players to make the most out of the Maniac Slicer ability. It is often used in combination with a  Overflux or  Plasmaflux Power Orb for faster mana regeneration.
		Aurora Armor	Kuudra Basic Tier completion
