Forest

Definition

A forest represents an area of wildlands that are harvested to gain magical materials. It shouldn't be a farm or a garden - if that is what you want to take then we would recommend you choose the farm resource or a herb garden resource instead.

Production

Upon taking a forest, you must choose one of Ambergelt, Beggar's Lye, Dragonbone or Iridescent Gloaming. A forest produces 10 measures of the chosen material.

Downtime Options

It is possible to harvest additional materials from a forest during any given season. You may spend 6 crowns to have the forest produce an additional 5 measures of the same material as it would naturally produce.

Upgrades

A forest can be upgraded using white granite obtained from the Bourse. Each time a forest is upgraded, the owner receives an additional 2 measures from then on.

To upgrade a forest requires Imperial Wains of white granite equal to the level the forest is being upgraded to. So the first upgrade of a starting level 1 forest costs costs 2 Imperial Wains of white granite, from 2 to 3 costs 3 Imperial Wains, etc.

Diversification

A forest can be diversified to sacrifice production of one material for another. To diversify a forest requires one Imperial Wain of mithril and one Imperial Wain of weirwood. Each time a forest diversifies, the owner chooses a different resource from the list for forests; the forest produces 2 measures of the new material at the expense of 2 less of the original material.
