# Foraging

## Foraging Documentation

Foraging is a valuable activity in the game that allows characters to collect **Spores** and gain **Experience Points (EXP)**. To maximize the benefits of foraging, players must strategically manage their characters’ **Action Points (AP)** and equipment.

***

### **1. How to Set a Character to Foraging Mode**

1. **Access the Barracks**:
   * Go to the **Character Screen** in the **Barracks**.
2. **Select Foraging Mode**:
   * Choose the **Forage** option to set your character into foraging mode.
3. **Daily Snapshot**:
   * Foraging rewards are calculated at the start of a new day, during the **Daily Snapshot Event**.
   * Ensure the character is in **Foraging Mode** before the new day begins.

***

### **2. Foraging Rewards**

Rewards from foraging are calculated based on:

* **Character Level**: Higher-level characters earn more Spores and EXP.
* **Action Points (AP)**: Rewards decrease linearly with fewer AP spent.
  * Example: A character foraging with **5 AP** will earn **half the rewards** compared to one with **10 AP**.
* **Bonuses**: Certain **traits** and **equipped items** can increase rewards.

***

#### **2.1 Spore Rewards**

The amount of Spores earned is directly influenced by the character’s level and the AP used.

* The graph below (not shown here but referenced in-game) indicates expected Spore earnings for a character with:
  * **Full AP** (10 AP).
  * **No additional bonuses**.

> **Note**: Adjustments to the Spore rewards are proportional to the AP spent. Fewer AP means fewer rewards.

***

#### **2.2 EXP Rewards**

Foraging also grants EXP, which scales progressively with character level.

* A detailed **EXP Table** (below) shows the exact amount of EXP gained per level.
* Like Spores, EXP rewards decrease linearly with fewer AP spent.

***

### **3. Enhancing Foraging Rewards**

1. **Character Traits**:
   * Traits like the **Alchemist’s Foraging Bonus** can significantly boost Spore and EXP yields.
2. **Equipment**:
   * Equipping items with foraging-related bonuses can increase overall rewards.
