Sand Collection

Sand is a Mining Skill collection. The Mushroom Desert on The Farming Islands is the only public island with sand to dig, and each block gives 3 base Mining XP.¹² On your own island, sand comes from Sand Minions or from placing a Desert Island or Pond Island and digging it up.¹

Sand bought from the Builder, the Farm Merchant or the Bazaar does not count toward the collection.¹³ A Cactus Minion needs sand placed around it to work.¹
