Base Fortune

This is the base Fortune, before any tree-specific bonuses.

Base Fortune, all trees

1593.28

22 sources, fully maxed

Foraging Skill	+220
Gear	+719.28
Heart of the Forest	+300
Agatha & Miria Shops	+20
Attribute Shards	+110
Pets	+194
Consumables	+30
Base total	1593.28

Foraging Skill

Foraging Skill Level+220

Level 50 (base cap)	50 × 4	+200
Levels 51-54	Unlocked by the Foraging skill cap upgrades	+16
Level 55	Requires a maxed Helix log collection	+4
Total		+220

+4 Foraging Fortune per level, to level 55.

Every Foraging level is a flat +4 Fortune, and it is the one source no amount of gear substitutes for. The cap is 50 by default, 54 with the skill cap upgrades, and 55 once your Helix log collection is maxed.

Gear

Helix Armor (4 pieces)+412

Base	Per piece, from the Helix collection	+45
Groovy reforge		+6
Forest Pledge V		+10
Uncommon Foraging Fortune Booster	Common gives 5; buy the Common first, then upgrade at Maxim	+10
Perfect Citrine ×2	16 each. Helix armor added a second gem slot, so you need two per piece now	+32
Total		+412

103 Fortune per piece, 412 for the full set. The single largest source in the game.

Helix armor unlocks at Helix collection level 8 and replaces Fig armor. Craft it the same way you would any collection armor. The second gemstone slot is new, so budget for two Perfect Citrines per piece rather than one.

Helix Chopper+167.28

Base × Legendary	50 base × 1.1	+55
Moonglade reforge		+12
Absorb X		+20
Uncommon Foraging Fortune Booster	Common gives 10	+20
Wood Singularity		+25
Perfect Citrine ×2		+32
Iron Axe Axed	×1.02 applied to the whole total
Total		+167.28

167.28 Fortune fully maxed, including the 1.02× Iron Axe Axed multiplier.

The axe is where booster upgrades pay off most, so buy the Uncommon booster here before your armor or equipment. Iron Axe Axed is a one-time Forest Essence Shop purchase that multiplies the entire axe total by 1.02, so buy it late, once everything else is maxed.

David's Cloak+55

Base		+50
Uncommon Foraging Fortune Booster	Common gives 2	+5
Total		+55

50 base plus an Uncommon booster.

Obtained from David in Galatea. Its Fortune line is secondary to its Sweep, which is the real reason to max the cloak.

Honeycomb Necklace+30

Base		+25
Uncommon Foraging Fortune Booster		+5
Total		+30

25 base plus an Uncommon booster. Upgrades from the Mangrove Locket.

Crafted from 2 Helixes, 2 honeycomb blocks, a vial of spring water and your Mangrove Locket. Worth knowing before you commit: the recipe is mostly non-foraging materials, so unless you buy the components outright it is a slow upgrade early in the update.

Veilshroom Bracelet+30

Base		+25
Uncommon Foraging Fortune Booster		+5
Total		+30

25 base plus an Uncommon booster. Upgrades from the Mangrove Grippers.

Crafted from 2 veilshroom bunches, 4 Helixes, a vial of spring water and your Mangrove Grippers. Same caveat as the necklace: mostly non-foraging materials.

Torrhus Belt+15

Base		+10
Uncommon Foraging Fortune Booster		+5
Total		+15

10 base plus an Uncommon booster. Replaces the Moonglade Belt.

A Safari belt whose Fortune also grows with Safari catch milestones. The milestone grind is long, so treat it as a hypermax goal rather than an early-update target.

Power Relic+10

Flat +10 Fortune.

A general-purpose accessory rather than a foraging-specific one.

Heart of the Forest

HOTF Foraging Fortune+150

+3 Fortune per level, 50 levels.

A tier 2 node, so it is available early and worth levelling steadily. At 150 Fortune maxed it is the largest non-gear source in the game.

HOTF Foraging Madness+50

Flat +50 Fortune (and +10 Sweep) once unlocked.

A tier 4 node. A single flat unlock rather than a levelled perk, so it is pure upside the moment you buy it.

HOTF Early Birdvaries

+100 Fortune, but only on your first 250 trees each day. Deliberately excluded from the totals.

Early Bird is worth having, but it is not a permanent stat: it applies only to the first 250 trees you cut per day. Foraging Stats does not count it toward your Fortune total, and neither does this page, because doing so would overstate your real rates for most of a session.

HOTF Forest Strength+50

Formula	perk level × 0.001 × your Strength
Strength cap	1,000. Strength beyond that adds nothing here
Level 50 with 1,000 Strength		+50
Total		+50

Converts your Strength into Fortune. +50 at perk level 50 with 1,000 Strength.

A tier 8 node and one of the largest Fortune sources once your Strength is high. It depends on a stat the API does not expose for this purpose, so Foraging Stats asks you to enter your Strength manually. Below 1,000 Strength you get proportionally less.

HOTF Forest Speed+50

Formula	perk level × 0.002 × your Speed
Speed cap	500. Speed beyond that adds nothing here
Level 50 with 500 Speed		+50
Total		+50

Converts your Speed into Fortune. +50 at perk level 50 with 500 Speed.

The Speed counterpart to Forest Strength. It caps at a much lower stat value, so 500 Speed is a realistic target. Also a manual input.

Agatha & Miria Shops

Fern Lumberjack+20

+2 Fortune per level, 10 levels.

Bought from Fern in the Forest Essence Shop. Cheap, universal, and easy to overlook.

Attribute Shards

Animal Expertise+100

+10 Fortune per level, 10 levels. Rare rarity, 48 shards to max.

Universal Fortune, unlike the tree-scoped shards. Worth prioritising for that reason alone.

Ultimate DNA (Galaxy Fish shard)+10

+1 Fortune per level, 10 levels. Legendary, so only 24 shards to max.

A small bonus, but legendary shards need just 24 to reach level 10, making this one of the cheapest maxes available.

Pets

Jade Dragon+194

Base	25 at level 101, +0.25 per level, capping at 50 at level 200	+50
Jade Scale	15 Fortune per digit of Mangrove collection, max 8 digits	+120
Symbiosis	Level 200 only: +4 per maxed foraging pet type, 6 types	+24
Dragon's Pride	NOT counted in the 194: +1 Fortune per 5 total Sweep. At 600 Sweep that is a further +120.
Total		+194

194 from its fixed perks, plus Dragon's Pride which scales with your Sweep.

Dragon's Pride couples Fortune to Sweep, which is why the two stats are not independent: every point of Sweep you add is worth a fifth of a Fortune on top. That feedback loop is the reason a Sweep-focused build ends up with high Fortune too. Note that the pet contributes nothing below level 101.

Monkey+60

Treeborn: +0.6 Fortune per level at Epic or above.

The budget alternative before a Jade Dragon. Epic, Legendary and Mythic all give the same 0.6 per level.

Consumables

Bee Saliva+5

One-time consumable, +1 Fortune each, 5 maximum.

Permanent once eaten. Small, but it never has to be re-earned.

Refined Dark Cacao Truffle+5

One-time consumable, +1 Fortune each, 5 maximum.

An Easter event item, permanent once eaten. Available outside the event on the auction house.

Celestial Mason Jar+15

Flat +15 Fortune, and +3 Foraging Wisdom.

Foraging Stats assumes every player has this active, because it cannot be read from the API. If you do not have one, subtract 15 from your Fortune.

Cloudy Century Cake+5

Flat +5 Fortune while active.

A timed buff rather than a permanent unlock, so it needs re-applying.

Two caveats worth stating plainly. Some sources have no fixed ceiling we can publish, because they scale with another stat or with an unbounded collection, so they are listed but excluded from the total. And only one pet can be active at a time, so pet sources count the best one rather than all of them.

Tree-specific Fortune

These only apply on one tree type, so they never stack with each other. Whichever tree you are cutting, exactly one column below is live and the other two are worth nothing to you at that moment.

Fig

base + 280

1873.28

total on Fig, 1 uncapped

Mangrove

base + 380

1973.28

total on Mangrove, 1 uncapped

Helix

base + 380

1973.28

total on Helix, 1 uncapped

Fig only

Agatha Fortune (Fig)+200

+4 Fortune per level, 50 levels, on Fig trees only.Fig trees only

Bought from Agatha with contest coupons. At 200 Fortune maxed this is the single largest tree-specific source in the game. It applies only when cutting Fig trees, so it cannot stack with the Mangrove or Helix equivalents.

Fig Collector (Sparrow shard)+80

+1 Fig Fortune per collection digit per level, so +80 at level 10 with an 8-digit collection.Fig trees only

Uncommon rarity, 64 shards to max. Applies only when cutting Fig trees.

Mangrove only

Agatha Fortune (Mangrove)+200

+4 Fortune per level, 50 levels, on Mangrove trees only.Mangrove trees only

The Mangrove counterpart to the Fig perk above. Same shop, same cost structure, same 200 ceiling.

Moonglade Mastery (Phanflare shard)+100

+10 Fortune per level on its tree type, 10 levels.Mangrove trees only

Common rarity, so 96 shards to max. Tree-scoped, so it does not stack with the other tree masteries.

Mangrove Collector (Seagull shard)+80

+1 Mangrove Fortune per collection digit per level, so +80 at level 10 with an 8-digit collection.Mangrove trees only

Uncommon rarity, 64 shards to max. Applies only when cutting Mangrove trees.

Helix only

Miria Fortune (Helix)+200

+4 Fortune per level, 50 levels, on Helix trees only.Helix trees only

The Torrhus Canyon equivalent, sold by Miria. If you are grinding Helix trees this is the one of the three that matters, and at 200 Fortune it is the biggest single upgrade available to a Helix forager. Worth buying early.

Torrhus Mastery (Firefox shard)+100

+100 Helix Fortune at max. Common rarity, so 96 shards to level 10.Helix trees only

One of the best value shards in the update. Firefoxes spawn around Torrhus Canyon and are easy to collect with a lasso while you forage normally, so this maxes itself as a byproduct of grinding.

Helix Collector (Hawk shard)+80

+1 Helix Fortune per collection digit per level, so +80 at level 10 with an 8-digit collection.Helix trees only

Scales with the number of digits in your Helix log collection, so it grows as you grind. The 80 assumes level 10 and a 100,000,000+ collection (8 digits); at 7 digits it is 70. Uncommon rarity, 64 shards to max.
