Island Trader route modules

8 guides

Unlock / 10 Golden Walnuts, Island Farmhouse prerequisite, and Island North shop route

Unlock After Island Farmhouse

姜岛农舍后解锁

The Island Trader unlocks for 10 Golden Walnuts after the Island Farmhouse has been purchased. Treat it as a mid-island economy unlock, not the first parrot purchase, because Island West and the farmhouse must already be online.

Crops / Taro Tubers, Pineapple Seeds, Taro Root, Bone Fragments, and Magma Caps

Tropical Crop Seed Route

热带作物种子路线

The fixed stock turns island and Volcano materials into crop scaling: Taro Tubers cost 2 Bone Fragments, Pineapple Seeds cost 1 Magma Cap, and Warp Totem: Farm or Tropical TV consume Taro Roots.

Fruit Trees / 5 Dragon Teeth, 75 Mussels, Island Obelisk, Leo gifts, and year-round island fruit

Banana and Mango Saplings

香蕉与芒果树苗

Banana Saplings cost 5 Dragon Teeth, while Mango Saplings cost 75 Mussels. These trees produce year-round on Ginger Island and support Island Obelisk planning, Leo gifts, tropical cooking, and fruit tree collection routes.

Loot / 10 Coconuts after cracking the first Golden Coconut

Golden Coconut Loop

金椰子循环

After the first Golden Coconut has been cracked, the Island Trader can barter Golden Coconuts for 10 regular Coconuts each. This creates a controlled way to chase golden coconut contents when palm-tree or artifact-spot luck is slow.

Recipes / Banana Pudding recipe and Deluxe Retaining Soil recipe

Recipes and Crafting Stock

配方与制作库存

Two fixed recipe trades matter for completion and farm layout: Banana Pudding costs 30 Bone Fragments, and Deluxe Retaining Soil costs 50 Cinder Shards.

Rotating Stock / Even days, weekdays, and island resource barter

Rotating Decor and Hats

轮换家具与帽子

The trader's rotating stock changes by day: Tropical Chair on even days, hats and island decor on weekdays, and beds or rugs on weekend routes. Plan cosmetics around resource availability instead of checking randomly.

Combat / Last day of season, 10 Radioactive Bars, and 50 dangerous monster kills

Galaxy Soul Last-Day Route

月末银河之魂路线

Galaxy Soul appears at the Island Trader on the last day of a season after killing at least 50 dangerous monsters. Each costs 10 Radioactive Bars, making it a late combat and radioactive-material route.

Storage / Cinder Shards, Dragon Teeth, Bone Fragments, Mussels, island fish, fruit, and crops

Barter Stockpile Plan

以物易物库存计划

Because the Island Trader does not accept gold, the real route is storage discipline. Keep a labeled island barter chest for Bone Fragments, Cinder Shards, Dragon Teeth, Mussels, Coconuts, Ginger, Taro Roots, island fish, tropical fruit, and Radioactive Bars.
