 A '''key realization''' is that these "traveling activities" do not provide any drops. Hence we don't care about most tool/equipment attributes in the game and '''only care about work efficiency''' when optimizing our "bog traveling" gear.

Expanded intro

New page

== Introduction ==

This guide aims to bring together info, considerations and tips that all relate to the newest "Bog" region that was added to the game.

The new area features two major downsides that need to be taken into account when traveling there:
* Traveling in and out of the Bog is done via activities, this means traditional traveling gear does not work and over-encumbrance mechanics become an issue when traveling out of the bog.
* Traveling inside of the Bog requires light sources which again adds to the inventory management.

Highlights of the Bog:
* Advanced sawmill (for mangrove planks)
* A new faction
* Great drop rate on the [[Circular Root Trinket]]
* Best drop rate on the [[Beaver Trinket]]
* And of course the new items unique to the area like [[Bamboo Logs]]

== Traveling to and from ==

There are three ways to get '''into''' the bog.

* A foraging activity: [[Venture Into The Woods]]
* An agility activity: [[Venture Into The Bog]]
* A mining activity: [[Explore Underwater Cave]]

There are two ways to get '''out of''' the bog.

* An agility activity: [[Run For Your Life]]
* A mining activity: [[Explore Bog Bottom]]
