Overview
Autumn in Starsand Island is the quietest season for social events (only three NPC birthdays) but one of the most profitable for farming. Roses replace Moonrise flowers in the wild, Pumpkin is the Gmax candidate, and Star Plum, Red Grape, and Persimmon tree harvests drive strong Merchant Ship buyback runs. Use the lull in event pressure to push Explorer and Angler profession certifications, finish Moonlit Forest boss clears, and prepare for Winter's Chinese New Year Festival.

Autumn Seasonal Activities (Day by Day)
Days | Recommended Focus |
|---|---|

Autumn 7 to 16 | Push Angler Profession and Explorer Profession certifications. Lunelle birthday on Fall 16. Attempt Pumpkin Gmax plot during this window. |
Autumn 17 to 26 | Moonlit Forest boss rotation: Crystalith, Glintortle, Ruin Guard. Craft 100+ Bomb Arrows at the Ammo Maker for Ruin Guard. Solara birthday on Fall 26. |
Autumn 27 to 28 | Harvest all remaining Autumn crops. Convert Star Plum into Star Plum Jam at the Jam Maker for Merchant Ship resale. Stock Winter Melon seeds for Winter 1 planting. |
Key Autumn Priorities
Star Plum is the season's money crop: Convert Star Plum into Star Plum Jam for maximum sell value and pair with the Merchant Ship 200% buyback when a Star Plum / Star Plum Jam order posts.
Pumpkin Gmax attempt: Plant 9 Pumpkin seeds in a 3x3 block. Harvest with an Axe for bonus yield.
Rose cross-breeding: Autumn is the only season for wild rose spawns. Build a selective breeding plot early in Autumn to finish rose color variants before the season ends.
Moonlit Forest completion window: Without a major festival consuming your time, Autumn is the best season to finish all three boss fights and collect remaining Moonlit Forest chests.
Winter Spring Festival prep: The Spring Festival starts Winter 25 and requires Clam Soup, a Fruit Basket (20 fruit), and 6 Milk + 3 Eggs. Stockpile these during Autumn so you are not gathering at the last minute.
