Essential Knowledge

Core Island Databases & Calculators

High-density reference tools designed to eliminate guess-work and speed up your island progression.

Mechanics Matrix

Island Progression & Economy Reference

Master key economic multipliers, stamina recovery mechanics, and profession mentors.

Stamina & Energy Math

Base Stamina starts at 100 points. Whispering Grove Hot Springs restore +2.5 Stamina per second for free. Passing out at 02:00 AM incurs a 10% Gold hospital fee and limits next-day energy to 50%.

Tip: Eat Wild Berries (+15) or Sea Salt Fish (+45) before 23:00.
Artisan Processing ROI

Artisan Kegs multiply raw fruit value by 2.25x (Juice/Wine) over 72 hours. Preserves Jars yield 1.8x Base Price + 50g in 48 hours, making low-cost crops like Blueberries peak profit in jars.

Rule: Fruit > 100g ➔ Kegs (2.25x); Crops < 60g ➔ Jars (Flat +50g).
5 Profession Mentors

Reach friendship milestones with the island's 5 official mentors: Graminova (Farming / Sprinklers), Delphin (Fishing / Baits), Zerine (Crafting / Smelters), Pastelle (Ranching / Silos), and Zephyria (Caverns / Dash).

Unlock: Mentor Level 3 unlocks Blueprint Store.
Pickaxe Progression

Copper Pickaxe breaks surface rocks; Reinforced Copper (Floor 15) harvests Iron Veins; Tempered Iron (Floor 40) unlocks Gold & Star Crystals. Elevators save checkpoint floors every 5 levels.

Checkpoint: Floors 5, 10, 15, 20 have elevator lifts.
