The Base Camp was one of the areas available during the 2019 Forest Expedition.

(Not to be confused with the Base Camp, which is the permanent expedition area after Mama Tree.)

According to Nabia, there are little amphibious creatures in the Forest,

small things which are rumored to have a pretty powerful healing drool (there are reports in the Great Library about this beneficial saliva apparently). Since the creatures haven't been seen for years, she thinks. Rhat this Expedition presents the perfect opportunity to see if they've retreated deeper, and if they have, to see how strong the collected medicine is. I'll need to gather the materials so Nabia can help us build traps to catch these amphibians.

Spending the night in the middle of an unexplored, dense, dark, and Dust

infected Forest can be a bit on the scary side. So I floated the idea to Nadia that we could set up a lighted pathway, using Ardia dust, so that volunteers guarding during the night won't ruin their night vision with a too-bright fire, and can safely protect the area.

A great expedition means a great challenge and a great responsibility,

the weight of which has fallen on Nabia. It's of vital importance on this long journey that she feels the commitment from her fellow explorers. If I can accompany her every day, for at least 15 days, I'll show her she's not alone.

Now that the mysterious amphibians have appeared, and in a high enough

number, it's time to capture them and collect some medicinal saliva. Nabia says that you never know when you might need healing, and I have to agree with that.

Night time in the forest can be very cold, it's best to make a small camp fire to stay warm, a place where friends can share stories. If I gather the materials for the fire I'll earn some Expedition Tokens for myself. *This daily quest can be taken every 12 hours from delivery.

An old wise man (not Tesven) used to tell Nabia stories about how the

Forest would swallow any explorer looking to uncover its secrets. Her hypothesis is that there's a creature with heavy camouflage that munches on beings, so we've come up with a win-win plan to draw them out of hiding - eliminate their food source and build up a supply for the Camp!

Feed Me, See More[]

Or as Nabia planned it, "feed me, see more." Collecting their food supply for use at the base camp has caused the mysterious monster plants to appear, and more numerous than ever. As their camouflage ability makes them a threat to every being who ventures into the Forest, I've decided to help clear the path... too bad fire's not an option.

Pick up the Friendly Explorer's Sidekick quest right away to unlock those further quests ASAP.

Double-Counting[]

Pick up To Starve a Predator before farming Nezthai claws for Amphibious Trap, if you haven't already farmed the claws before To Starve a Predator was released, to count your Nezthai battles while you farm claws.

Similarly, pick up To Starve a Predator before battling Kaija to farm Saliva Vials for Natural Medicine Collection.

Questbook Slots[]

If you have any quests in the form "fight any # monsters" you can finish them out quickly with 50-word Ardia battles (while also farming Ardia Dust for the Enlightening the Camp quest).

The following collection quests can be safely dropped or picked up only as needed to turn them in to keep questbook slots open:

  • Amphibious Trap
  • Enlightening the Camp
  • Natural Medicine Collection
  • Camp Fire (daily)

Miscellaneous[]

Since both collection components, leaves and wood, are available for purchase in Luciola Forest for 8c each, Camp Fire can be completed for 240c.
