Sun Haven Foraging Guide: All Items, Prices \& Skill Tree (2026)

Foraging in Sun Haven provides a steady stream of free items, gold, and permanent stat bonuses across four distinct realms. Unlike farming, which requires seeds and planning, foraging simply involves picking up spawned items from the ground, shaking fruit trees, and collecting silk from spider webs. This guide covers every forageable item, its sell price, location, the Exploration skill tree nodes that enhance foraging, and the permanent stat bonuses available from eating foraged foods. All data is verified from the official Sun Haven wiki.

How Foraging Works in Sun Haven

Foraging in Sun Haven does not have its own skill tree — it is tied to the Exploration skill tree. Forageable items spawn naturally in the game world and respawn over time. The main foraging actions include:

• Shaking fruit trees: Press the interact key near a fruit tree in the Northern Forest to drop fruit. Each tree yields 1-3 fruits per shake and grants 5-15 Exploration EXP.
• Collecting beach items: Sand dollars, starfish, clams, and seaweed spawn along the Sun Haven beach shoreline.
• Gathering crystals: Earth, water, and fire crystals appear inside the Sun Haven mines and in forest areas.
• Harvesting silk: Spider webs on trees in the Northern Forest yield silk, which is used to craft fabric at the loom.
• Picking mushrooms: Mushrooms spawn on the forest ground and can be used in cooking recipes.

A key feature of Sun Haven foraging is that fruit trees produce fruit in any season — foraging is not season-locked like crop farming. This makes fruit trees a reliable year-round food and income source.

All Sun Haven Realm Forageable Items

The Sun Haven realm uses Coins as its currency. All forageable items in this realm sell for Coins at any shop or shipping bin. Items are organized by location:

Fruit Trees (Northern Forest)

Seven fruit types grow on trees in the Northern Forest area. Each fruit tree shakes to drop 1-3 fruits, with the yield affected by the Horn of Plenty skill. Fruits are used in dozens of crafting recipes and provide permanent stat bonuses when eaten:

• Peach: 50 Coins — Highest-selling fruit, grants +9.78 max spell damage per eaten (cap: 100)
• Blueberry: 25 Coins — Used in multiple cooking recipes
• Strawberry: 22 Coins — Grants +12.225 max health per eaten (cap: 100), used in 16 crafting recipes
• Apple: 18 Coins — Common ingredient in smoothies and desserts
• Raspberry: 15 Coins — Used in fruit snacks and smoothies
• Orange: 14 Coins — Grants +9.78 max health per eaten (cap: 100), used in 17 crafting recipes
• Berry: 5 Coins — Cheapest fruit, used in basic recipes like Acai Bowl

Beach Items

Four forageable items spawn along the Sun Haven beach shoreline. These are low-value items but require zero effort to collect while passing through:

• Clam: 3 Coins — Lowest-value forageable, grants 3 Exploration EXP
• Starfish: 4 Coins — Grants 4 Exploration EXP
• Sand Dollar: 5 Coins — Grants 5 Exploration EXP
• Seaweed: 5 Coins — Used in some cooking recipes

Crystals and Special Items

Crystals spawn in the Sun Haven mines and occasionally in forest areas. These are among the most valuable forageables in the game:

• Small Money Bag: 75 Coins — Dropped by werewolves in the Northern Forest, grants 25 Exploration EXP
• Crystal Cluster: 40 Coins — Rare find in the mines
• Earth Crystal: 30 Coins — Found in mines and East/West Forest
• Water Crystal: 30 Coins — Found in mines and forest areas, used in cooking recipes
• Fire Crystal: 30 Coins — Found in mines, used in tea recipes
• Citrus Star Fruit: 35 Coins — Rare forageable found in Sun Haven

Additional items include Mushroom (8 Coins, found on forest ground) and Silk (5 Coins, harvested from spider webs on trees). Silk is particularly valuable as a crafting material — five silk pieces create one fabric at the loom, which is used in numerous crafting recipes including gloves and wallpaper.

Exploration Skill Tree: Foraging Nodes

The Exploration skill tree contains eight nodes that directly enhance foraging. These skills transform foraging from a minor side activity into a significant income and stat-boosting system. Players pursuing the best skill builds should prioritize several of these nodes early.

Double Take (Tier 1)

Grants a chance to collect an extra item when foraging. At Level 1, the chance is 20%. At Level 3 (max), the chance reaches 40%. This effectively increases all foraging yield by up to 40% with no additional time investment.

Silk Saver (Tier II)

Increases the chance to yield extra silk when foraging spider webs. At Level 1, the chance is 40%. At Level 3 (max), the chance reaches 100%, guaranteeing double silk from every web harvested. This is one of the most cost-effective skills in the game for players who craft fabric regularly.

Replenishment (Tier III)

Collecting a forageable or breaking a destructible object restores health and mana. At Level 1, each pickup restores 1 HP and 1 Mana. At Level 3 (max), each pickup restores 3 HP and 3 Mana. This provides passive healing during exploration, reducing the need for cooked food and potions.

On the Run (Tier IV)

Increases movement speed by 10-30% for 3 seconds after collecting a forageable. This skill creates a speed-boost chain effect when foraging multiple items in sequence, significantly reducing the time spent running between foraging spots.

Rare Finds (Tier V)

Increases the sell price of all forageables by 10-30%. Combined with the Organic skill (which adds another 20-60%), forageable sell prices can increase by up to 90% at max levels. A Peach that normally sells for 50 Coins can sell for up to 95 Coins with both skills maxed.

Fruits of Midas (Tier VI)

Gives fruit trees a 3-7% chance to spawn golden fruit. Golden fruit are universally liked gifts for all NPCs, sell for higher prices, and one of each is required for museum completion. This skill passively generates valuable golden fruit every time a tree is shaken.

Permanent Stat Bonuses from Eating Forageables

One of the most overlooked aspects of foraging is the permanent stat bonuses from eating foraged foods. Eating 100 of certain fruits grants permanent increases to max health or spell damage that persist for the entire playthrough. These bonuses stack across different fruits:

• Festive Oranges (100 eaten): +2037.5 max health — Event-limited item from the Lantern Festival
• Strawberry (100 eaten): +1222.5 max health — Available year-round from Northern Forest trees
• Peach (100 eaten): +978 max spell damage — Available year-round, highest spell damage bonus
• Orange (100 eaten): +978 max health — Available year-round, 17 crafting recipes
• Nectar-ine (100 eaten): +978 spell damage — Available in Nel’Vari realm

Players aiming to maximize these bonuses should prioritize eating Strawberries and Peaches first, as they provide the largest health and spell damage increases respectively. The Soul Food skill node (Exploration tree) increases the maximum mana bonus cap from eating forageables, further enhancing this system.

Foraging in Other Realms

Nel’Vari Realm (Mana Orbs)

The Nel’Vari realm offers five unique forageable items sold in Mana Orbs rather than Coins. Fairy Cherries (3 Mana Orbs), Sugar Plums (4 Mana Orbs), and Nectar-ines (1 Mana Orb) grow on trees. Fabled Silk (2 Mana Orbs) is harvested from spider webs, and Earth Runes (0.5 Mana Orbs) are used in teleportation gems and elven crafting. Nel’Vari uses elven crafting stations like the Elven Juicer and Elven Loom for recipes.

Withergate Realm (Tickets)

Withergate features darker-themed forageables sold in Tickets. Monster Fruit (3 Tickets) and Sour Plums (2 Tickets) grow on trees. Candy Corn Fruit (2 Tickets) and Gray Scales (2 Tickets) are found in the environment. Spooky Silk (2 Tickets) is harvested from spider webs and used at the Monster Loom to craft Spooky Fabric.

Brinestone Deeps (Mana Orbs)

The underwater Brinestone Deeps realm contains three unique forageables: Brine Berries (2 Mana Orbs), Trench Nuts (2 Mana Orbs), and Fathom Fruit (3 Mana Orbs). Trench Nuts are required for the “Aw, Trench Nuts” quest, making them a priority pickup for players progressing through the main story quests.

Foraging Quests and Museum Bundles

Museum Foraging Bundle

The Hall of Culture in the Museum requires one of each of the following forageable items: Apple, Berry, Blueberry, Log, Mushroom, Orange, Peach, Raspberry, Sand Dollar, Seaweed, Starfish, and Strawberry. Completing this bundle rewards the Foraging Ring, Hardwood Ring, and Large Magic Potion.

Fruit Altar (Dynus Altar Room)

The Fruit Altar requires 20 Apples, 10 Berries, 20 Blueberries, 20 Oranges, 10 Peaches, and 20 Raspberries. Completing this altar rewards the Butterfly Ring — a valuable accessory.

NPC Quests

Several NPC quests require forageable items. Kara’s “Strawberry Snack” quest needs 10 Strawberries and rewards Community Tokens and Cookies. Edna’s “Funny Honey” quest needs just 1 Orange and rewards 100 Coins plus Community Tokens. Catherine requests Water Crystals for her crystal collection quest.

Golden Fruit System

Once the Fruits of Midas skill is unlocked in the Exploration tree, golden fruit can randomly spawn on any fruit tree, including player-grown farm trees. Golden fruit have three main uses:

• Gift giving: Golden fruit are universally liked by all NPCs, making them reliable gifts for building villager relationships.
• Museum completion: One of each golden fruit variant is required for full museum completion, contributing to the achievements system.
• Selling: Golden fruit sell for significantly higher prices than their standard counterparts.

Golden fruit are not used in any crafting recipes, so players should prioritize them for gifting or selling rather than stockpiling.

Foraging Profit Strategy

To maximize foraging income, players should follow this priority order:

• Prioritize the Northern Forest route: Start at the fruit tree area, shake every tree, then move to the beach for shoreline items.
• Max Silk Saver first: The 100% double silk at Level 3 makes every spider web worth 10 Coins instead of 5 — effectively doubling silk income.
• Stack price bonuses: Combine Rare Finds (max 30%) with Organic skill (max 60%) for a 90% total price increase on forageables.
• Eat 100 of each stat fruit: Prioritize Strawberries for health and Peaches for spell damage. These permanent bonuses provide significant advantages in combat and mining.
• Use On the Run for speed runs: The 30% speed boost after each pickup creates a chain effect that significantly reduces foraging route time.
