Exploration

Here are just some of the things to discover on the island!

	Fern Island There are several points of interest to visit on Fern Island and each area has its own specialty in terms of resources found. While most residents have their homes in Barrow End, a few live outside, whether to simply be away from the bustle of town or to farm crops or animals.
	Island Informer During her exploration, Abrill can find various signs in each biome called Island Informers. These signs show seasonal Plants found in that respective biome.
	Archaeological Excavations Urushu, the elderly man who takes care of the Museum in Barrow End, is involved in archaeology and is very curious about the history of Fern Island. Much has been discovered, but many more artifacts and items are out there awaiting discovery! There are archaeological dig sites all over Fern Island, which Abrill can dig at in hopes of finding the treasures of the past. In addition to the officially sanctioned dig sites, there are mounds of dirt all over the island which sometimes yield fossils and other relics of a past age.
	Magical Chests Magical chests can be found all over Fern Island and contain various useful items. They also regenerate content! Some are locked to a specific moon phase, which you can view in your calendar.
