Fall Foraging

Fall Foraging refers to the set of wild items that can be found during Fall through ordinary foraging, including items spawning on the ground, items shaken from bushes, and a few special seasonal sources. In Fall, the main foraged items are Blackberry, Chanterelle, Common Mushroom, Hazelnut, Purple Mushroom, Red Mushroom, and Wild Plum. Some of these can also come from other sources, such as the Farm Cave or bushes during Blackberry Season.

Fall forageables follow the normal foraging rules: most spawn overnight on valid exterior tiles, uncollected items are cleared before Sunday and at the start of a new season, and the total number of standard forage spawns on a map is limited each week. Fall items also interact with the Foraging skill in the usual way, granting experience when picked up from the ground, and with the Botanist profession, which can upgrade eligible foraged goods to iridium quality.

A few practical notes apply specifically to Fall forageables:

• Blackberry can be gathered directly from bushes during Blackberry Season, from Fall 8 to 11, and each berry gives Foraging XP when shaken from the bush.
• Hazelnut appears after Fall 14 when shaking Maple Trees, in addition to its normal ground spawns.
• Common Mushroom can appear in several Fall locations and is also obtainable from the Mushroom option in the Farm Cave.
• Wild Plum is one of the standard Fall foraged items and is also available from the Fruit Bat option in the Farm Cave.
• Purple Mushroom and Red Mushroom can appear in the Forest Farm and Farm Cave, and they also count as forage when found on the ground in the Mines.
• The Tracker profession helps locate spawned forageables on the current area by adding yellow arrows toward off-screen items, but it does not point to berry bushes.

For players using the Botanist profession, all Fall forageables listed above can be upgraded to iridium quality when they are eligible forage items. This increases their sell price and their energy and health restored when consumed.
