How do I unlock The Forgotten Isle in Garden Horizons?

Repair Capt' Roger's boat by paying him 3 Nails + 6 Wood, then hand him 1 Rose as the trade fruit. He plays the BoatVoyage cutscene and drops you on The Forgotten Isle. Nails and Wood are harvested from mainland resource nodes at 1 Nail / 2 Wood per pickup.

When does the Islands Update release?

Community-confirmed release target is July 24, 2026 (subject to change per developer Kinebrach). All content on this page was datamined from client v680 on 2026-07-16 — the content is staged in the client and gated behind ExpansionGate.IsComingSoon().

What is the Pearl Shop and who is Aladdin?

Aladdin is the merchant NPC on The Forgotten Isle running the Pearl Shop. The Pearl Shop is the exclusive economy sink of the island — it trades in Pearls (the new secondary currency), rotates every 300 seconds like the mainland shops, and its stock table is currently empty in the client dump. Contents populate at release.

What new plants come with the Islands Update?

Four island-exclusive plants are leaked in the client: Cactus (Uncommon, 20s grow, 45 base value), Coconut (Rare, 20 min grow, 400 base value, 0.5 kg — the heaviest), Crystal (Epic, 25 min grow, 600 base value), and Lava (Legendary, 30 min grow, 900 base value, 0.6 kg base weight — the flagship earner). None of these appear in any seed pack loot table, confirming they are island exclusives.

What are Nails and Wood?

Nails and Wood are the first crafting materials in Garden Horizons, added client-side for the Islands Update. Yields are 1 Nail per pickup and 2 Wood per pickup. Machete, Knife, and Pickaxe all appear in Plants.Tools.Items alongside the island content, suggesting they are the harvest tools.

How to unlock the island

Prepare BEFORE July 24: (1) stockpile Roses for the trade-fruit gate — 1 Rose = boat access, (2) grind Wood and Nails on the mainland (drop rate 1 Nail / 2 Wood per pickup — expect Machete/Knife/Pickaxe as harvest tools), (3) have 3 Nails + 6 Wood ready to pay Capt' Roger, (4) budget for the first Pearl Shop rotation the moment it goes live (300s restock cycle — camp the shop). Once on the island, prioritise plots for the highest-value island exclusives (Lava at 900 base × 0.6 kg base weight is the flagship earner). Wild spawns are free — patrol between rotations.

Pearls & the Pearl Shop

Pearls are the second currency in Garden Horizons, staged in the client under `CurrencyDefinitions.Pearls` (order 2, non-primary) for the Islands Update. Pearls are the exclusive currency of The Forgotten Isle economy — Aladdin's Pearl Shop trades in Pearls only, and the mainland Seed Shop / Gear Shop remain Shilling-only. The client also stages a `PearlCollectBillboard` UI + `PearlEffect` VFX, confirming Pearls will drop visibly from island activities.
