After you wake up and introduce yourself to the town folks in Luma Island, it’ll be time to settle in on your farm and explore the titular island the game is named after. One of the key places you’ll need to go is the caves beneath the surface, but they’re not only dangerous but extremely dark.
You’ll have a bit of light around the ladder you climb down, and some bioluminescent crystals provide a faint glow in the distance, but other than that, it’s pitch black down there, and wandering around without light is a quick way to get ambushed by spiders or ghosts – or worse.
How To Get Resin
If you want some Resin, the main location you can find it is on your farm, and it comes from two different sources there: Farm Resin Bushes, or from any Farm Tree.
You can also get Resin from breaking barrels in locations like the Ancient Farm Temple, but this isn’t as reliable since it’s a random drop, and you’ll need to fully complete the temple each time to keep your drops.
Farm Resin Bushes specifically drop Resin, and at a greater amount than trees at three to five Resin per bush, but they’re also rarer. A handful of them spawn in random locations across your entire farm, and once broken, more will spawn after a short time.
If you can’t find any Farm Resin Bushes, or you’ve chopped them all down, you can also get Resin from the regular Farm Trees all over.
Each time you chop one down, you’ve got a chance to get one to two Resin, but this method isn’t as quick or lucrative as searching for the actual resin bushes.
You can also buy Resin from the Lumberjack’s shop for 80 Gold, which is located to the left and down a hill from Balthazar’s shop, but they only have ten.
The Main Use Of Resin
The most important thing you’ll need Resin for is making Torches, which are a key component of safely exploring the caves beneath your farm and keeping the darkness from closing in on you.
Torches are crafted in the Simple Workbench and each takes one Resin and one Farm Wood, but you’ll get two Torches in return for each craft.
When placed, they’ll provide a decent radius of light around, allowing you to navigate more easily, but they won’t repel enemies such as Spiders.
