Firstly, this has taken me a month to do. Its not easy or quick to make all the items and to try come up with ideas to make this a worthy post. So please like and subsc...I mean...check this out and let me know what you think...
Preface
Its no secret that the Foraging Skill is one of the longest and most tedious skills to level up, leading most people to abandon it at the low levels. So I propose an update to make the Foraging Island and Skill far better than it currently is.
City Project
To start off, the Foraging Island would get an overhaul though the City Projects, same as the Farming, Weapon-smith, Builder, etc updates.

Charlie's Graft Event
Charlie's Graft is an event similar to the Jacob's Events, but with some alterations to make it suited for foraging. Here is how it would go:
- The Charlie's Graft events will take place on the blank days between the Jacob's Events and the Dark Auction.
- Three random wood types would be selected to be in the event, similar to Jacob's Events.
- Instead of competing with each other for top percentages, players work to collect enough wood to reach set milestones to gain rewards.
- Players earn Charlie Chips for each Milestone they reach.
- Players get bonus Charlie Chips for reaching higher milestone tiers in collection categories with lower participation. Meaning that if you compete in Spruce and Spruce is the least participated in collection category then you would get bonus Charlie Chips if you collect enough wood.
- You can only participate in 1 category per event so choose wisely. You cannot change collection midway through.
- You can spend your hard earned Charlie Chips on unique items at Isabelle's shop.

New quest NPC, similar(ish) to Romero. Daughter to the Old Shaman Nyko, she is out gathering materials to work on a charm of sorts that she wants to experiment with when you meet her.

She sends you on a quest to collect the items and once you do she will craft you a new accessory, the Potted Azalea...for a fee...

View attachment 3011546
Wood Knots/Dense Wood Knots
Wood Knots are a new resource that is randomly collected when chopping trees, with a 0.1% chance to drop per log chopped. Dense Wood Knots can be crafted with 80x Wood Knots. Both are used to craft several new items.
View attachment 3011548

View attachment 3011552
Turbo Enchants
Turbo enchants, similar to Jacob's Turbo enchants, but for Wood.

View attachment 3023402
Gemstones
Amber gemstones being in the Crystal Hollows makes no sense. Since Amber is technically fossilized tree resin, it makes much more sense that it is used in foraging in some way. The Amber in the Crystal Hollows is replaced with Aquamarine. Same for physical amber gems on people's tools and in inventories.
View attachment 3011578
Amber will instead be collected from ancient tree roots that twist though the cave systems under the park in the Howling Caves.
