1. Emerald Farm
The Railroad opens on Summer 3, Year 1, after the overnight explosion clears the landslide north of Robin's Carpenter Shop. Walk into the Railroad and continue east to Susan's property. Her introduction, event 1000077, becomes available at the Farm after more than 30 in-game days have passed.
The changing crop rows are seasonal map scenery, not free crops for the player to harvest. Visit for Susan's events, the Railroad routes, and later access toward the Summit. See the full Emerald Farm and Summit guide for the boulder quest.
2. Blue Moon Vineyard
The vineyard is Sophia's home and is available from the start. Its western edge connects to Cindersap Forest, while eastern routes connect toward Town and the Beach. Sophia's front door is open from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The outdoor forage zone can create up to two forage spawns per day.
Interact with Sophia's Ledger inside the house for fixed stock:
| Item | Price | Daily stock |
|---|---|---|
| Blue Moon Wine | 3,000g | 10 |
| Aged Blue Moon Wine | 28,000g | 1 |
| Sprinkler | 600g | 5 |
| Quality Sprinkler | 3,500g | 5 |

3. Enchanted Grove and the Nexus
Before the Wizard starts the Nexus chain, complete all four milestones:
- Obtain the Galaxy Sword.
- Meet Alesia in event
7502582. - Finish the Railroad boulder sequence through event
8050109. - Reach the Volcano Caldera and meet Lance in event
6951319.

908071. - Enter the Backwoods for event
908072, which reveals the Grove and activates the first Nexus connection.
Exactly one Dewdrop Berry is scheduled to spawn on days 1 and 14 of every season at one of two Grove tiles. Each spawn can remain for 27 days. Eating one grants +2 Luck, +2 Speed, +50 Max Stamina, and +75 Magnetism until the next sunrise.
Additional portals unlock through later events. The complete SVE Nexus guide lists every destination and its requirement.
4. Old Master Cannoli
- Go to the northwest corner of Cindersap Forest.
- Use a Steel Axe or better to remove the Large Log. No bridge repair is involved.
- Give the statue one Sweet Gem Berry.
- Interact with it again to collect one Stardrop, which raises maximum energy.
5. Fairhaven Farm
From Marnie's Ranch, continue south through the expanded Cindersap Forest to find Andy's farm. His house is open from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The planted fields are visual parts of the map and cannot be harvested by the player.
After the Community Center or Joja completion event, Andy's story event 5000005 cleans his house and SVE patches a healthier section of the farm. Both main routes can produce the upgrade; only the dialogue differs. See the Fairhaven Farm guide for the route and house changes.
