Players must first level up their stronghold to reach level 10. Once they obtain this, they will be able to speak with the Jack of All Trades Nature NPC. Upon speaking with the NPC, they will be granted the ability to generate some farmland for their stronghold, upon which they can begin growing different resources. These resources are unique to the stronghold and include blue mushrooms.


Checking the stronghold each day for mushrooms and other items

Once the player is successful in their farming endeavors, they will be able to check their farmland in their stronghold once per day in order to obtain special items and blue mushrooms.

Players can then take these blue mushrooms and use them for crafting special items.

Once players have collected all the blue mushrooms, they should head over to the crafting workshop in the stronghold. Here, they will find that they are able to create different Battle Item Selection Chest.

These selection chests allow the player to specify certain areas such as support or offensive items to help them in their travels.


Other items will be required for players to make Selection Chests

Players should plan for other items to be used in their crafting recipes. These items will include other rare items from the stronghold, such as foraging nearby trees and rocks.

Players should do this every day because building up a stock of items will allow them to craft even more frequently. Leveling up all of the player's tradeskills will help them become more well rounded and self-sustaining.


Crafting items can be very beneficial to the player
