Thicket markers across the map (up to 12 live at once)

World rules

  • Thickets wilt when the timer runs out or herb supply is exhausted — 9-hour spot cooldown afterward.
  • Up to 12 thickets can be live at once (32 possible spots), each with small supply on a 6-hour lifetime.
  • Only successful harvests count toward the daily limit; failed runs still cost sickle Durability.
  • Daily limits reset at 02:00 UTC (Foraging License naming in-game).

How to play

  1. Get a Basic Sickle at the Herbalist's Hut (optional Foraging or Golden Foraging License — 10 free harvests / day without one).
  2. Equip the sickle in Main Hand (1 Durability per attempt).
  3. Find a thicket marker; read name, supply and wilt timer.
  4. Press Start Harvesting — stop each stem scrolling cut zone (leftmost moving stem first).
  5. When all zones are frozen, one cut succeeds if any height overlaps every zone.

Loot tables

Flax is the common filler; thicket herbs are the main Uncommon roll. Rare / Legendary herb and “Other” pouch rolls scale with Hero Luck — effective ≈ base × (1 + LCK ÷ 100).

Per-point Luck bonus on non-base rolls: +1% of base chance each LCK (same pattern as Fishing — effective = base × (1 + LCK ÷ 100)).

Minigame & tools

Stems

Each stem has a cut zone scrolling up or down; neighbouring stems move in opposite directions.

Stop order

Tap freezes the leftmost still-moving stem; repeat until all are stopped.

Success

Any horizontal line through all frozen zones counts as a valid cut before the 30s timer expires.

Tips

  • Heartroot at 4% base zones is impractical on a Basic Sickle — upgrade first.
  • Do not panic-tap: a bad freeze cannot be undone.
  • Busy thickets deplete faster — check supply before you travel.
