Oak Resin

Machine	Tapper; Heavy Tapper
Ingredients	Oak Tree
Time	7 or 3 days
Sell Price	150g

Oak Resin is the sticky sap that a Tapper draws from an Oak Tree. A Tapper on a mature oak fills with a jar of resin every seven days. On its own the resin is a modest seller, but it is one of the most important crafting materials on the farm. Every Keg needs a jar of Oak Resin, and so does each batch of Deluxe Speed-Gro. It also fills slots in the Enchanter's Bundle and the Exotic Foraging Bundle. Maru is the only villager who likes it as a gift, and the rest of the valley dislikes it.

The in-game description reads: A sticky, fragrant substance derived from oak sap.

Making

Tappers unlock at Foraging level 3 and are built from Wood and Copper Bars. One works on any grown Oak Tree, either planted on the farm from an Acorn or growing wild, as in Cindersap Forest. Once fixed in place, the Tapper refills by itself.

A Heavy Tapper speeds the cycle up to about three days, which more than doubles the supply from each tree.

Small amounts of resin also come from other sources. Haunted Skulls sometimes drop a jar when defeated. A Wood Chipper turns a piece of Hardwood into Oak Resin now and then, though the chance is tiny.

These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Prices

Oak Resin wears the Artisan Goods label, yet the Artisan profession has no effect on it. The Foraging profession Tapper adds a quarter to its price instead.

Selling it is rarely the best choice. One jar a week earns only around 21g a day per Tapper, while each jar unlocks a Keg that can earn far more.

Sell prices by quality, with the bonus from each profession.

Quality	Price	Tapper (+25%)
Normal	150g	187g

Uses

The Keg is the main reason to tap oaks. Its recipe, learned at Farming level 8, takes Wood, a Copper Bar, an Iron Bar and one Oak Resin. A farm planning a large brewery needs one jar for every Keg, so a row of tapped oaks makes a big difference.

Deluxe Speed-Gro, learned at Farming level 8, mixes one Oak Resin with Bone Fragments. It speeds up crop growth by at least a quarter.

The Enchanter's Bundle on the Bulletin Board requires Oak Resin, and finishing it rewards five Gold Bars. The Exotic Foraging Bundle in the Crafts Room also lists it as one option. A Fish Pond may ask for a jar as well before it can hold more fish.

At the Sewing Machine, Oak Resin in the spool makes the Floppy Beanie. It also counts as a green dye in the dye pots at 2 Willow Lane.

Crafting Oak Resin with the other materials below makes these items.
