11Overview22The Exploration Club is a shop and gathering point in the Green Meadow area, operated by Zephyria. It is the hub for the Explorer profession and provides access to adventuring tools, combat materials, and exploration blueprints. The club is open daily from 8 AM to 10 PM.44The shop sells all weapon and ammo blueprints in the game. There is also a public Ammo Maker on the left side of the counter, which lets you craft ammunition even before you build your own Ammo Maker at home. This is especially useful early on when you need pellets for the Slingshot but have not yet unlocked the blueprint to build your own crafting station.66Location88The Exploration Club sits in Green Meadow, northwest of Starsand Town. It is positioned near the Green Pasture Ranch, making it convenient to visit both the Explorer and Rancher mentors in a single trip. The nearest bus stop provides fast travel access from other parts of the island. Zephyria can often be found sitting under a tree near the club or practicing archery down the hill when he is not at the counter.1010Blueprint Inventory by Explorer Tier1313Weapon and ammo blueprints unlock as you advance through the Explorer profession tiers.

It is found inside a chest in the deeper sections of the Moonlit Forest. The Moonlight Glow Stick (2 Radiant Core, 1 Glass Pane, 2 Softwood) is also found rather than purchased.4141Special Arrow Mechanics4343Two special arrow types have environmental effects beyond combat, and they are required to progress through certain areas of the Moonlit Forest:4545TypeDetailsFire ArrowBurns branches and tree roots that block passages. Without these, certain paths in the forest remain sealed off.Water ArrowCauses branches and roots to grow, creating natural bridges over gaps. Used to cross chasms that cannot be jumped.4747Both arrow types are essential for solving environmental puzzles and reaching deeper forest zones.4848Health-Restoring Recipes5050The Exploration Club also sells special cooking recipes that restore health rather than stamina. These combat-focused recipes are distinct from the food you cook at the Aureleaf Kitchen or Marlo's Morning Delights. Preparing health-restoring food before a Moonlit Forest run is strongly recommended, especially at Junior tier and above when enemies become genuinely dangerous.5252Explorer Profession5454Speaking with Zephyria at the Exploration Club starts the Explorer profession questline. The Explorer profession focuses on combat, Moonlit Forest navigation, and resource gathering in dangerous areas. At each tier, Zephyria assigns trial quests that test your ability to handle tougher challenges. See Explorer Trial Walkthroughs for step-by-step guides.5656TierKey RequirementUnlocksApprenticeDefeat a Runebird and collect fragmentsSlingshot blueprint, Moonlit Forest accessJuniorDefeat the Crystalith bossBow and arrow blueprints, deeper forest zonesIntermediateComplete Bruce's Sharpshooter Stall challenge (shoot 35 balloons)Access to Azure Bay area resourcesSeniorRepair the Waterwheel in the forestGale Arrow, Wood Arrow, deeper zonesExpertDefeat the Ruin Guard (final boss)Time Arrow, full Moonlit Forest access5858The Explorer profession is recommended as the second profession to pursue after Crafter. Many of the ores and resources found in the Moonlit Forest (iron, gold, diamonds) are unavailable anywhere else on the island and are required for higher-tier crafting recipes across all professions.5959Zephyria6161Zephyria is the leader of the Exploration Club and the island's Explorer mentor. He arrived on Starsand Island two years before the game begins. Raised by an archaeologist mentor who discovered him as an infant, Zephyria traveled extensively before his mentor's death. He established the Exploration Club to continue his mentor's life's work: locating the seventh ancient civilization, completing an unfinished guide to the island's ruins, and collecting relics.6363DetailInfoBirthdayMonth 2, Day 16GenderMaleHeight185 cmWeight75 kgRomanceableYes6565Zephyria follows a highly structured daily routine. His mornings begin with outdoor Tai Chi and target practice, followed by foraging expeditions lasting until noon. Afternoons are spent on crafting maintenance and martial arts training, and evenings take him back to the woodlands. At night he can be found stargazing or finishing his training regimen. On rainy days he stays indoors working out, reading, or maintaining his equipment.6666Gift Preferences6868CategoryItemsLovedBlue Sleep Lily, Eldergrain, Mirage Sunflower, Mirthshroom, Moonflower, Sunveil ShroomLikedChilled Twilight Salad, Crispy Mushroom, Grilled Chicken Wings, Grilled Mushrooms, Luminfrog Fragment, Red Grape7070Zephyria's favorite items come from the Moonlit Forest: forest flora, mushrooms, and rare flowers.
