Contains 12 campsites with portal checkpoints, 3 epic boss encounters, glittering ore to mine, unique plants to gather, and treasures in forgotten corners. See the full Moonlit Forest guide.
Beach and marina
Fishing spots, boat access, and ocean-related activities. Launch boats here to reach the three seas and offshore islands. Delphin hangs out here.
Getting around
