Exploration Events
About
At the change of each Season about 1,000 Exploration Events as seeded through out the New World. These events remain there until found and used up by a pilgrim. A sound is played once you get close to an Event. Events often spawn in the same spots each Season, although this method of finding Events is far from guaranteed. Events typically do not spawn on Town or Personal Claims.
Dead Whale
Found rarely on Beaches, right-clicking a Dead Whale and selecting "Butcher" will give you 15x Blubber and 1-6x Whale Bones.
Frozen Mammoth
Found rarely in the Snow biome, a Frozen Mammoth can be melted by clicking it with a Primary or lit Secondary Source of Fire. Once melted, right-clicking a Frozen Mammoth and selecting "Harvest Flesh" will give you 5x Mammoth Flesh and selecting "Harvest Tusks" will give you 2x Mammoth Tusks. Destroying a Frozen Mammoth will instead give you 2-3x Frozen Mammoth Flesh.
Gingerbread House
Found rarely in the Woodland biome, right-clicking a Gingerbread House and selecting "Collect Candy" will give you 50x random Candies.
Pot of Gold
Found rarely in the Marshland biome, right-clicking a Pot of Gold and selecting "Collect Gold" will give you 36x Golden Eggs.
Traveling Merchant
Rarely, when traveling through the Autumnal biome, animal merchants sometimes lose a few of their animals in the dense forest. When this happens, an assortment of 1 - 5x baby Domesticated Animalss can be found. These animals will live and die as normal, so occasionally adult animals will be found, but more commonly, just their carcasses.
Wrangling Animals
Wrangling a Domesticated Animal allows you to lead them around, bring them into Buildings, and Fast Travel with them. To wrangle a Domesticated Animal select a Rope and right-click it onto the baby or adult Domesticated Animal you wish to wrangle. This will cause you to walk over to them. Once you reach that animal you can move your Rope directly into either of your hand slots. You can test if it worked by walking away and checking that they follow. To release the animal, move your Rope out of your hand slot and into your Inventory. Using 2x Ropes, one in each hand, will allow you to wrangle two different animals at the same time. The Wrangling Skill is NOT required to wrangle Domesticated Animals.
Shoo!ing Animals
Domesticated Animals which are NOT being lead can be right-clicked to Shoo! them. This will cause them to walk a little bit away from you. This can be useful when needing to clear a path through your animals.
Wishing Well
Found rarely in the Shrub biome, a Wishing Well looks exactly like an ordinary Well, however when enough Silver Pieces have been right-clicked onto a Wishing Well (anywhere between 1 and 99 Silver Pieces), a Wonderful Whimsical Wish will be added to your inventory. Right-clicking a Wonderful Whimsical Wish will allow you to choose to "Wish for Wealth" to be given 1000x Silver Pieces, "Wish for Wisdom" to be given +10 levels to any Proficiency at random, or "Wish for Luck" the effects of which are still unknown. Making any wish will consume the Wonderful Whimsical Wish. CAUTION: An ordinary Well will also accept Silver Pieces, but has no limit, if you ever add more than 99 Silver Pieces to a Well without receiving a Wonderful Whimsical Wish, that is an ordinary Well not a Wishing Well.
Wrecked Caravan
Found uncommonly in the Grassland biome, 1 to 4x Wrecked Wagons circling a Fireplace. Using Destroy on a Wrecked Wagon will reveal a hidden Barrel filled .01 to 25.00 kilograms or either Pepper or Sugar. Very rarely you may find a Big Barrel which contains significantly more.
Exploration Event Boulders
Obsidian Boulders can be found rarely in the Crag biome. An Obsidian Boulder can be Chipped to receive Obsidian. Select Any Stone and right-click it onto a piece of Obsidian to receive either Obsidian Fragments or an Obsidian Arrowhead.

Exploration Event Trees
Exploration Event Trees are Trees which rarely spawn in certain biomes after a Season change. When spawned, an Exploration Event Tree will replace an existing Tree. Right clicking an Exploration Event Tree will give you a variety of options in which to gather resources. Once harvested Exploration Event Tree will cannot be harvested again. Eagle Trees spawn in the Coniferous biome, while Hangman Tree spawns in the Greenwood biome. A Hanging Man Tree is a Witnessed Insanity event; seeing an un-L3wted Hangman Tree will add a large amount of Insanity.
Witnessed Insanity
Witnessed Insanity is Insanity which is gained by doing insane actions. When witness insane things you will gain Insanity each time you come into range of that thing. This means the same event can cause you to gain a lot of Insanity if you continue to leave and come back to the same area without dealing with the thing causing you to gain Insanity.
Chop
With the Lore of The Lumberwoods Skill learned and Any Axe equipped, right-clicking on an Exploration Event Tree and selecting "Chop" will Chop down the Tree to produce a Hollow Log. When an Exploration Event Tree is Chopped down it leaves a Hollow Stump behind. When Chopped down an Eagle Tree will produce an Eagle Nest. Right-clicking an Eagle Nest and selecting "Raid Nest" will give you a variable amount of Eagle Eggs and Eagle Feathers.
L3wt
With the Larceny Skill learned, right-clicking specifically on the Hanging Man on a Hangman Tree and selecting "L3wt" will give you an Evidence of Royal Conspiracy. L3wting a Hangman is NOT a Crime and therefor will NOT leave Evidence or Scents. L3wting a Hangman Tree will remove the body and it will no longer cause you to gain Insanity.
