Intro
Welcome to this guide.
Finding all the items for the museum is quite a task. You will find most of them by digging and a few by mining. Gladly since update #2 we have an icon over them in your inventory so you know which items can be donated to the museum.
Some recommendations:
– Wait with grinding for all those items till you have the master shovel and the master pickaxe.
– Don’t throw double items away, as some are required for quests.
– If you still have people who aren’t friends level 5, take them with you on this grind.
