New Player Guide
Walk through the tutorial in Craven's Hollow, from planting your first crop to your first sale.
The New Player Guide walks you through the tutorial in Craven’s Hollow. You start in your garden with a few tools and seeds, plant and harvest your first crop, sell it to Kalt, and buy more seeds from Maya. The game shows hints on screen during the tutorial, and this page is a map you can check any time.
Your First Day
Start in your garden
When you join, you start in the garden on your plot, with the starter look: short hair, the default outfit, and the default colors. You can change your look later at Mable’s clothing shop.
Get your tools
Your tools and seeds go straight into your toolbar: 5 Wheat Seeds, a Watering Can, a Shovel, and a Hammer.
Plant your first crop
Harvest
In the tutorial, your Wheat is ripe as soon as you plant it. Press E at the Harvest prompt, and the wheat goes into your bag.
Ride the plot teleporter
Walk to the teleporter on your plot and press E. It takes you to the Farmers Market, the busy square where the shops are.
Sell to Kalt
Talk to Kalt, choose Sell my crops, and she pays you gold for your harvest.
Buy seeds from Maya
Talk to Maya, choose Browse items, and buy a packet of Wheat Seeds with your gold.
Head home
Use the teleport button in your toolbar, or press H, to go back to your plot. The tutorial ends with a reward of 75 gold and 5 more Wheat Seeds.
After the Tutorial
The quest tracker on the right side of your screen always shows your next goal. Open the Quests tab in your bag for the full list.
Your first main story quest after the tutorial is An Egg for You. Otis looks after the town’s eggs, and he visits your garden with a starter egg for your first pet.
The next main story quest is Money for Seeds. Plant your seeds, then sell harvests to Kalt until you have earned 100 gold. The reward is 100 gold and a packet of Great Pumpkin Seeds. See Quests for story, side, and daily quests.
What to Do Next
- Grow more crops. Try different seeds from Maya’s Crop Shop and read about every crop.
- Hatch and raise a pet. Pets have needs such as hunger and thirst, and they grow up over time.
- Go fishing. Catch fish and sell them to Silas at the dock.
- Explore the Mines. Dig up stone, ore, and gems.
- Find forageables. Gather mushrooms and rare plants around town.
- Build a house. Buy a home, place furniture, and expand your garden.

Quick Tips
- Seeds cost gold, so keep selling your harvest to Kalt.
- Press H to teleport home from almost anywhere.
- Water your crops early with a Watering Can. Watering cuts 25% off the time a crop has left to grow, and each crop takes one watering per harvest. Rain waters your crops too.
- Your bag has 60 slots, and your toolbar has 5.
- Talk to everyone. Residents have quests, shops, and stories.
