| '''Caving''' is one of the most important activities in the game. [[:Category:Gem|Gems]] and [[Time Crystal|time crystals]] can only be found naturally in caves. (There are other ways to get them without an in-app purchase, such as using a [[Gold Pickaxe]] or [[Meditate|Meditating]].)

| |
|
| ==Description==
| |
| [[Cave]]s are natural gaps in [[stone]]. Some will open to the surface, but others will have [[dirt]] or [[sand]] covering them.
| |
|
| |
| A cave can be as narrow as a series of unconnected single block gaps to large chambers wider than the reach of a [[Basic Torch|torch's]] light. Some caves are also filled with [[water]], which may require special preparation to navigate.
| |
|
| |
| ==How To==
| |
| Basic caving is nothing more than [[Travel|climbing, crawling, and walking]] through the available spaces. A [[pickaxe]] is useful for opening barriers between unconnected caves. But as caves can intersect and branch, they sometimes end up like a maze.
| |
|
| |
| A good general approach to exploring caverns without getting lost is to follow the right-most path. This helps you stay clear on what you've explored and not. It only fails when there's a circular connection and in that case your placed [[Oil Lantern|lanterns]] or [[Basic Torch|torches]] indicate you've looped back so it's no trouble.
| |
|
| |
| Another way to keep track of which tunnels you've explored or stripped of resources place a block of [[limestone]] at the entrance(s). It looks different than un-mined limestone so you'll know you placed it as a signal. You could also wall it off with stone because it is abundant. [[Paint]] is a very distinctive marker, too.

| |
| == Recommended Items ==
| |
| * [[Chest]] for extra carrying capacity
| |
| * [[Ladder]]s for crossing large gaps
| |
| * [[Oil Lantern]]s or [[Basic Torch|torches]] for [[light]]
| |
| * [[Pickaxe]] for removing barriers and [[harvesting]], possibly a gemstone pickaxe for bonus harvests
| |
|
| |
| To deal with underground water:
| |
| * [[Kelp]] to restore [[Breath Bar|breath]]
| |
| * [[Steel Lantern]]s for underwater light
