Island Portals

This article or section is not a stub, but still **needs help**. Please feel free to improve it.

The **Island Portals** are portals that magically appear in the Festival Grounds in town each month and lead to resource islands with abundant renewable crafting and building resources. There are four Island Portals: the Fairy Island, Lumber Island, Mining Island, and Tropical Island. Each of the portal islands can be stripped of all of their resources, as they will be fully reset at the end of each month.

They appear twice a month, from 14th to the 15th and 29th to the 30th. If the player is in one of the resource islands or the Festival Grounds when the 16th of the month or the 1st of next month begins and the Island Portals disappear, then they will wake up in the Festival Grounds without penalty.

For the sake of having enough inventory space to hold all desired looted items, it is recommended to bring only the tools and other items, such as disposable lighting items like Magic Lights, that are needed.

## Fairy Island

The Fairy Island Portal contain unique bugs and fish.

## Lumber Island

The Lumber Island Portal has two types of unique wood: Hardwood and Sequoia. You can also obtain raw wood. The bark and the look of the tree of the hardwood and Sequoia trees are different from the regular trees. Hardwood has darker bark than the Sequoia.

When you come onto the Island you will see that it is built in levels. The main level where you arrive, has only raw wood to chop down.The next level up is a mixture of raw wood and hardwood. The top level is mostly hardwood, a little bit of raw wood and some Sequoia wood.

If you do not care to jump from one level to the next it would be a good idea to bring a stack of blocks, or dig up a stack of dirt from the island to make bridges for yourself. Drinking smoothies will give you a jump boost to help you get from one level to the next as well. Be warned. You will need a Reinforced axe, the pink one, to chop down the Sequoia trees, while the Hardwood Trees only requires a Hardened axe (the blue one).

To help you get home there are portals scattered through out the levels of the island.

## Mining Island

The Mining Island Portal has 3 types of ores that can be used to upgrade tools. There are lots of nooks and crannies to explore on this island so don't forget to bring your Sleeping Bag for an overnight stay. You can get lost quite easily. But mostly, you will need the 2 full days to explore this island fully. Even then, you're likely to miss something and will want to come back multiple times to find out all of its secrets.

Your starter Pickaxe is all you need for mining Blue Crystals. However, you will need a Hardened Pickaxe to mine Red Crystals and a Reinforced Pickaxe in order to mine Yellow Crystals.

There are several caves on the surface of the island. Not complicated caves, but they do hold treasures in them that randomly change when the island resets at the beginning of each season. One of the caves is under your feet when you come out of the portal. The entrance to that is to the left at sea level.

Straight ahead of you when you come out of the portal is the main entrance to the mine. Go straight down the path, to the right and through a portal. There will be a treasure chest of Magic Lights that you don't want to forget to pick up. They are invaluable in the mines, as they provide a good amount of light. Go through the next portal and you will be in the Blue Crystal cave complex. There are multiple rooms and caves to explore all holding blue crystals and new types of stone. As you wind your way through you can find ways to the Red Crystal cave complex or you might find portals that you will teleport you to new areas. If you ever get lost or you just want to go home, find a portal and the box sitting on the ground next to the door will take you back to the beginning of the Blue Crystal cave complex. From there you can find your way back to the main portal that brought you to the island and you can go home through it.

If you go straight ahead just before you enter the cave, jump down to ocean level go straight along the wall to the very end of the rock wall. There will be an entrance to a cave that has two portals. The portal straight ahead will take you into the Red Crystal cave complex. The portal to the right will take you to the Yellow Crystal cave complex.

## Tropical Island

The Tropical Island Portal contain unique bugs and fish. It is also one of the few places where Tropical Waterfall blocks can be found.
