Foraging

Foraging is an activity in VulcanVerse, where a player sends their Vulcanite to search for items on a specific plot.

What is Foraging?

Foraging is the method of finding items in VulcanVerse. It allows a player to locate materials, [NFT]]s and Keys. A player will also collect XP based on the items found whilst foraging.

Any materials found can be used as building materials for construction on a plot - materials found through foraging can be found in a player's VulcanVerse Inventory.

Materials can be exchanged and in future, some of them will be able to be used for alchemy.

Various NFTs can be found while forging, such as seeds (which will turn into various NFTs when tended to), fishing rods, items, fragments and keys.

How to Forage

A player must first have an active Vulcanite alongside their avatar. This can be of any level from non-NFT level 0 Vulcanites to high level - in general, the higher the level of the Vulcanite the better they will be at foraging for higher level itens. A player must activate foraging by pressing the 2 key on the keyboard or by clicking on the forage icon in the bottom menu bar. (2)

Crystals will appear on the ground. The crystals are different colours depending on the quadrant they are found. When these crystals are highlighted with the mouse, a player can click on them and the Vulcanite will set about foraging in the area.

If the crystals are red when highlighted with the mouse, a player's Vulcanite is not currently available to forage - usually this is because they are foraging elsewhere.

Where Can Your Vulcanite Forage?

A Vulcanite can forage in any quadrant as shown on the map. Your Vulcanite cannot forage in Vulcan City.

Some plots and quadrants are known to provide specific materials.

Which Vulcanites Can Forage?

All Vulcanites can forage, but some are better than others at foraging. More information can be found in the Vulcanite section of the wiki, as a general rule, the higher the Vulcanite level, the faster it will forage with a better chance of finding valuable materials.

The formula for foraging Speed is

90*((70000-foraging ability)/70000)

Material Categories & Foraging XP Reward

There are 5 categories of materials:

Common (1 XP) brown

Rare (2 XP) blue

Epic (3 XP) green

Some materials will only be usable for a high plot level.

Every day (24 hours) extra XP is availble if you forage 10 times in a day, if you forage in every quadrant and if you forage on a landmark in each quadrant.
