Finding the right materials is a big part of building your dream life in Heartopia. One of the most difficult items to track down is Rare Timber. Unlike normal wood that you can get from almost any tree, this special material only comes from specific sources. You have to look for Gigantic Trees which are much larger than the standard ones you see every day. These massive trees are usually located right along the main road that goes around the suburban area.
The best way to find these trees is to check the land near specific home plots. You should look around the areas labeled as plots 01, 03, 04, 08, and 12 on your map. When you find one of these giant trees you need to use your pickaxe on the stump to get the resources. Keep in mind that Rare Timber is not guaranteed to drop every time you harvest a tree. Sometimes you might only get normal wood so you have to keep trying at different locations.
There is a strict rule about how often you can gather wood from these big trees. Once you harvest a Gigantic Tree you have to wait exactly two hours before you can get resources from it again. This cooldown period means you cannot just stay in one spot and farm forever. Most players find it helpful to set a timer or move between all the different plot locations to maximize their haul. If you are in a big hurry and don’t want to wait there is another option.
You can actually buy Rare Timber if you have enough premium currency. The Acorn Store sells bundles of 20 Rare Timber for a price of 10 Moonlight Crystals. These crystals are valuable so you should spend them carefully. You can earn these crystals by playing the game or by using special redeem codes that the developers release. For example codes like “heartopia0108” or “mylittlepony” have given players free crystals in the past.
Using codes is a great way to skip the grind if you are building something expensive. You can enter these codes in the game settings menu under the “Redeem Code” section. Once you claim them the rewards will show up in your mailbox right in front of your house. Combining these free rewards with a solid harvesting routine is the fastest way to stock up. Rare Timber is essential for high-level crafting so it is always a good idea to have some extra in your storage.
