Quick Help
FAQ
How do I get Secret Notes?
Unlock the Magnifying Glass, then most notes drop while doing normal activities (digging, chopping, mining). Select and use a found note in your inventory to read it, then revisit it in the Collections menu.
What does “decoded hint” mean?
It’s the actionable instruction (where to go + what to interact with). Use the location + hint together, then verify by checking the reward you receive.
