Old Woods area overview
Enter from the northern Town Outskirts past Tanner's Cabin. The eastern side leads toward the Campsite, bus stop, mine, and south-east route, while western progress is tied to the Local Jogger's Club task and the Mill route.
This is a text landmark reference, not a fabricated tile-by-tile map. In-game route availability can depend on tool and task progress.
Landmark reference

| Abandoned Mill | On the Mill route | Mill Key and Lost Mirror objective |
| Old Woods Mine | Eastern Old Woods | Requires Local Jogger's Club access |
| Spiritwood | Old Woods forage and tree areas | Material and Spiritwood Seed source |
| Tall Tree Maze | Connected Old Woods route | Leads toward a bus-stop area |

Bus stop and campsite
The first Old Woods bus stop is beside the Campsite and currently costs 1,500g to unlock. Michelle is found at the Campsite for the Local Jogger's Club route.
Old Woods 2 and Deep Woods are separate stops with separate progression requirements. Unlocking the Campsite stop does not unlock every deeper route.
Mill and Local Jogger's Club route
- Meet Michelle at the Campsite, then speak with Barry at the Jogger's Club.
- Search the task's documented Old Woods locations for the Mill Key.
- Use the key at the Abandoned Mill and complete the Lost Mirror objective.
- Return the Lost Mirror to Barry, then speak with Michelle to learn the first route east of the bus stop.
- Use that access to reach the Old Woods Mine and retrieve one Verdite Ore from floor 3.
- Return the Verdite Ore to Michelle to learn the second route west of the Mill.
Spiritwood and resource routes
Spiritwood and Spiritwood Trees are documented in the Old Woods. A Sturdy Axe or better is required at the deeper-woods access point, but the reviewed area reference does not establish a separate tool tier specifically for a Spiritwood Tree.
The Old Woods Mine is part of the Local Jogger's Club route, and the task's Verdite Ore objective points to mine floor 3. Use the dedicated Spiritwood guide for verified material uses instead of assuming spawn rates or refresh times.
