You can’t explore the Moonlit Forest in further unless you first upgrade your tools. Starsand Island teaches you how to do that during the Apprentice Crafter Trial, and after purchasing the blueprints you will have a stronger axe and pickaxe. You will also need money to purchase these, so this part of the walkthrough will also give you helpful tips to help you earn money fast. You can then explore the Dreamfall Garden.

Apprentice Crafter Trial

Your task for the Apprentice Crafter trial will be to complete the Bright Little Light Action Commission, which you can accept from the Bulletin Board. You need to repair the damaged street light near the Panda House.
Go talk to Stella first, and then you need to gather all the materials for the street light. You can get them from the Moonlit Forest. Mine Fluorite and Quartz here.

You also need to build an Impact Axe, which is a much better axe you can use to get advanced materials such as the Hardwood. Get the blueprint from the general store. You can also purchase the blueprint for the Impulse Pickaxe to mine harder rocks. Once you have a better pickaxe, you can break the obstacles in the Moonlit Forest as well to explore even further.
Gather Hardwood using the stronger axe on the Banyan Trees. Once you have crafted Radiant Cores and Glass Panes, you can craft a simple street lamp. Head to the Panda house and repair the lamp to complete the trial.
How To Make Money Fast

Buying blueprints for tools can cost you a lot, so eventually, you need a way to earn money faster in Starsand Island. You have already unlocked all professions by now. One of the easiest ones is fishing; a lot of fish you catch will sell for around 100 coins.
You can also earn money by completing requests, or you can just sell the excessive quest rewards if you don’t need them. However, we advise you not to sell rare processing materials. Animal products and the crops you grow will also be profitable for you. You can also sell your crafted items to maximize the cash obtained.
Prefer riding your skateboard to renting vehicles, and animals can cost a lot. Ranking up in the Island Life will also give you monetary rewards. You will also stumble into some treasure chests while exploring the island, which contains some valuables and money as well.
Dreamfall Garden

After you have crafted the Impulse Pickaxe, you can venture further into Dreamfall Garden. Accept the Apprentice Explorer’s Trial.
Accept the Shiny Paint quest from the bulletin board. You will also learn the recipe for Lamb Skewers from the club to restore your health. You need meat bites to make it. Purchase some meat from the general store and use your separator to make some meat bites.

Hop onto the bubbles to get there. Near the camp, you will find a treasure chest in a small secret area behind a bush. Open to learn the recipe for the surfboard. You can also mine coal here.
Break the weak points in the rock obstacles to go ahead. You will find a Luminfrog here to defeat. Attack it carefully while avoiding its water projectiles. Grab the shiny paint required and bring it to Momo to complete the trial
