No Hardwood Spawning?

[Auri Bell]

Is it normal for there to be like no hardwood?? I seriously cant find any! Only a few in the Secret Forest but I don't see any in the normal forest or my farm? I cant complete Robins 80 hardwood quest because of this :(

That's how hardwood works. 6 stumps respawn every day in the secret woods, yielding 12 hardwood. This means you can acquire 84 hardwood within the time limit for her quest.

Otherwise, the Forest Farm also has its own set of respawning hardwood stumps, and Ginger Island has mahogany trees. You can also have the Lumberjack profession in foraging to give all trees a chance to drop hardwood.

OK, hardwood, early game? late game?

if you plant mohagony seeds and use tree fertilizer on them, they might grow in time.
you can get mohogany seeds in the secret forest, from the stumps and enemies.

late game I would just buy cork bobbers for 500 G from willy and deconstruct them. I think you get 5 hardwood per bobber, so 100 G per hardwood, 8000 for the quest.

yes technically you could go to the secret forest for 7 days and get 12 hardwood a day which is 80 for all 7 days. But thats yeah, I would tree fertilizer mohogany seeds.

It doesnt spawn on its own you have to find and plant mahogany seeds, then mahogany trees will spread

Typically, I'll try to save some stumps on my farm until after I complete that particular quest, although that does require some patience. But as mentioned, the Secret Woods will yield enough if you go every day during the quest period.

Also as a hint: If you should ever take Evelyn's quest for George, be sure to plant some of the Spring Seeds, that's the best way to be sure you obtain enough Leeks.

Aside from cutting actual hardwood (stumps, trees) and loot etc, the only way to get hardwood is the Lumberjack profession, reached at level 10 foraging.

The best way to get lots of hardwood is just upgrade your axe enough to cut the stumps, and plant the mahogany seeds they drop.

That's not the point. The OP is trying to do Robin's quest. The quest has two parts:
1: Collect 80 Hardwood within a week.
2: Deliver 80 Hardwood to Robin's storage area.

The OP has plenty of Hardwood stored, but wasn't sure how to complete the part of the quest that requires collection.

And the answer is: Go to the Secret Woods every day and cut the respawning stumps there, the net yield will get you to 80 in time.
