Sun Havenis a charming farming and life simulator that puts you in a magical world filled with wondrous beasts, fascinating lore, and different regions to discover. While you do start out in the eponymous Sun Haven, you’re able to eventually set up other farms in Nel’Vari and Withergate.

With the huge scope of this game, you will definitely see yourself doing a lot of exploring. Thankfully, there is a skill tree dedicated to making that part of the experience easier and more enjoyable. Check out the best skills to unlock while you explore the three cities!
10Air Skip
Air Skip isone of the most important skills to unlock first. It makes traversal less of a drag since it can speed up getting from point A to point B. On top of that, it’s a useful skill to have when you’re surrounded by enemies and need to make a quick escape.
This skill doesn’t have a cooldown, but maxing out its upgrade can be very helpful so that it costs only 2 mana per jump. This mana reduction can be especially useful if you’re casting spells or simply have a smaller mana pool in the earlier stages of the game.
9Well Rested
Well Rested is an extremely helpful skill to have as it automatically gives you a good buff at the start of each day. The actual buff is randomized per day, but every option is great. you may get bonus farming EXP, have a higher chance of getting extra forageables, or gain damage points to either enemies or rocks, among other things.
Its maxed-out form grants you the buff for the entire day, which is a real boon if you get your farming done in the morning and go for quests andmining later on. Even its base form is great, with a 6-hour window where your buff applies.
8Double Take
Foraging is a major part of exploration in Sun Haven, so you’ll be glad to have the Double Take skill. This allows you to get more out of every action as it increases the chance that you gain an extra item when collecting forageables.

Whether you’re pressed for time or you just want to get more bang for your buck, this skill will come in handy in the long run as you collect your goodies. Even if the maxed-out skill only adds a 40% chance, that’s actually a very adequate number considering how often you’ll be foraging anyway.
7Replenishment
Health and mana are, naturally, crucial to your survival in Sun Haven. It’s less of a problem when you’ve upgraded these pools accordingly, but you’ll find that having ways to replenish them is helpful at any point in the game.
Replenishment lets you regain some health and mana every time you collect a forageable or break a destructible object. For reference, this means cutting a tree or using your pickaxe on some stones will count toward your health and mana restoration.
6Sap Sucker
You’re going to be cutting trees for the logs anyway, so you might as well get Sap Sucker to gain some more mana while you go about hacking at trees. This is a great skill to have if you’re often facing off against multiple enemies in the forest.
Whether you’re air skipping a lot or using spells, you will inevitably use up your mana pool and need quick and easy ways to restore it. Thankfully, you’ll often find yourself surrounded by trees that you can simply chop down to get that sweet mana.
5Wood Splitter
Considering how essential logs are in practically everything you need to build to expand your home and farm, you’ll want to get Wood Splitter. This increases the number of logs dropped from trees.
It’s a simple yet truly godsent benefit that maximizes your resource collection nicely. It’s not just for players that don’t have the patience to cut down multiple trees, either.
Trees can take some time to grow back on your farm, so this skill will help you keep a few saved for a rainy day as you get more logs per tree.
4Token Citizen
Accomplishing the quests on bulletin boards not only helps you ingratiate yourself with your fellow citizens but also nets you some great rewards. If you’re looking to level up more efficiently, you should check out the Token Citizen skill.

This skill gives you more bonus Exploration experience for every completed bulletin board quest. If you use this and combine it with the potential extra experience points you can choose from the bonus rewards, you’ll rank up your Exploration tree in no time.
3Appreciation
It doesn’t really take too much work to get NPCs to like you in Sun Haven. As long as you talk to them in an agreeable manner and give them gifts, their hearts will quickly go up.
With the Appreciation skill, you get bonus gold every day for each heart you have with romanceable characters.
This means you can get up to 1,000 gold per day just by having all the romanceable characters at max hearts. Even without pursuing the romance arc, you can get up to ten hearts with a romanceable character.
2Secret Compartment
As you explore the outskirts of the cities, you will find lots of treasure chests and money bags littered throughout the forests. How they ended up in those spots unattended remains largely unknown, but hey, why turn down some free gold?
If you get the Secret Compartment skill, you get 160 more gold from both treasure chests and money bags. Money doesn’t necessarily buy happiness, sure, but it definitely goes a long way when you’re trying to upgrade your farm.
1Scavenger Hunt
Scavenger Hunt is a glorious skill to have in your Exploration tree. Sure, it’s all the way in column VIII, but it’s well worth unlocking once you get to it. This skill ensures that golden pomegranates will spawn around Sun Haven every day.
Although you can always just sell the golden pomegranate if you please, the real move is to consume it. Eating the magnificent golden pomegranate nets you 200 gold and increases your health and mana by two, permanently. This increase may not seem like much at first, but this quickly grows into a significant increase when you eat the gleaming fruit every day.
If you’re playing multiplayer, the host must have the skill activated for it to apply to everybody. Either way, its appearance is always a welcome one as you get to grow in strength without the same horrors that befell Midas.
