FAQ – Focus, Renown & Skill Coins

Eating food is the only way to restore Focus. Different meals restore different amounts. The best options:

• Early game (Level 1–5 Cooking): Grilled Fish (any fish → 60 Focus) – very easy to mass‑produce while fishing.
• Mid game (Level 5–10): Hearty Vegetable Soup (150 Focus) – ingredients: carrot, onion, mushroom, spice. All easily farmable.
• Late game (Level 10+): Celebration Cake (300 Focus) – requires wheat, eggs, butter, sweet leaf, blueberry. Best single‑slot restoration.

Efficiency tip: Cook in bulk (20–50 meals) and keep them in your inventory. Use the quick‑eat key: hover over the food and press F (PC) or assign to a hotbar slot.

Renown is earned from a variety of sources. Prioritize these:

1. Level up any skill – Each skill level (after level 1) gives 5 Renown. Focus on fast‑leveling skills (Gardening, Mining, Cooking).
2. Complete weekly challenges – Each skill guild offers 3–5 challenges per week, each rewarding 50 Renown. Completing all challenges for a skill gives a bonus chest with another 100 Renown.
3. Main story quests & temple puzzles – Major quests give 100–300 Renown each. Completing all three temples yields ~600 total.
4. Hidden achievements – e.g., “Catch 50 fish” (50 Renown), “Visit 20 home plots” (100 Renown). Check the Accomplishments tab.
5. Treasure chests – Over 100 chests hidden across both zones; each gives 10–50 Renown.
6. Daily login bonus – After 7 consecutive days, you get 10 Renown per day.

Estimated earning rate: An active player can earn 500–1000 Renown per week without excessive grinding.

• Focus Capacity (Phoenix Shrine) – Increase your max Focus to at least 200. Larger bar means fewer interruptions to eat.
• Friendship Bonus (Dragon Shrine) – Up to +50% friendship points from all sources. Essential if you plan to befriend NPCs.
• Focus Bonus % (Dragon Shrine) – Increases maximum XP multiplier from 100% to 200%. Very powerful for leveling.
• Decor Capacity – Only if you are hitting the limit (3000+ decor points).

Avoid spending Renown on temporary boosts (e.g., “Gift Finder”) until you have upgraded the core stats.

Skill Coins are specific to each skill (Gardening Coins, Fishing Coins, etc.). You earn them from:

• Leveling up a skill past level 5 – Each level gives 1 Skill Coin (e.g., reaching level 6 gives 1, level 7 gives another).
• Weekly challenges (per skill) – Each completed challenge for a skill gives 2 Skill Coins. The bonus chest (all challenges) gives an extra 5 Skill Coins.
• Guild store turn‑in items – Some rare collectibles (e.g., 5 Rainbow Butterflies) can be exchanged for 10 Bug Coins – but this is inefficient compared to challenges.

Best farming method: Complete all weekly challenges for the skills you want to level. 3 challenges × 2 coins = 6 coins + bonus chest 5 = 11 coins per skill per week. That’s enough to buy a mid‑tier blueprint every week.
