Divi-Divi Tree

The Divi-Divi Tree is the signature hardwood species of Windrose's Foothills biome. Felling one yields Hardwood and Tree Bark, the two staple upgrades over common Wood for mid-game crafting.

Appearance and Location

• Biome — Foothills islands (not Coastal Jungle).

• Grouping — grows in small copses rather than isolated trees, so one chop trip usually nets several logs.

• Hazards — wolves or other aggressive animals often den near Divi-Divi copses. Scout the area before committing to chopping, because multiple community guides warn that the first hit on a tree often aggros nearby predators.

Harvesting

Felling a Divi-Divi requires an axe. The tool progression:

• Stone Axe — the earliest option. Slow but functional.

• Copper Axe — recipe 5 Copper Ingot + 5 Wood at the Workbench. Substantial efficiency gain over stone.

• Iron Axe — recipe 5 Foothills Iron Ingot + 5 Wood. The endgame standard, upgradeable further at the Sawhorse.

Drops

• Hardwood — the primary drop. Feeds many upgrades in the cooking chain (Cookware Shelf, Supplies Rack), alchemy chain (Reagent Table), armor upgrade chain (Shoemaker's Bench), ranged weapon crafting, and ship material refining.

• Tree Bark — secondary drop. Used in certain Foothills-tier recipes and leather processing.

Farming Tips

• Chain reactions work here — if two Divi-Divi trees are on a slope, felling one can knock into the adjacent tree.

• Bring a Pistol or Blunderbuss to deal with wolves before they close on you.

• Coordinate Divi-Divi harvesting with a Foothills trip that also hits Flax Fiber, sulfur, and Foothills Iron Ore — one sweep, four resources.
