Create a drawing or write a story about your Isomara exploring one of the biomes on the island. Once your artwork/story is complete and meets the requirements below, you can submit it, and when approved, you'll receive in-game goodies straight into your inventory!

Include as many Isomara and companions as you want, as each one will contribute to the number of items you can find and bring back. The kind of items and their amounts found during explorations are randomly generated, and some items are more commonly found than others. You may have to do multiple explorations in one biome to find all the items you want. The complete list of items that can be found and their rarities are further below.

This is the map of Isomara Island, and within the key are the biomes, which you can explore. All areas can be explored except for the Goom Infected and Volcanic biome of Pelemoku, which are needed to be unlocked per Isomara.

To explore the Infected island off the coast, all Isomara must have the Ally of Goo achievement. The island of Pelemoku is labeled as the volcanic biome which appeared during a past eruption event, and Isomara will need the Island Hopper achievement to explore that biome. Keep an eye out for future events, which sometimes will temporarily grant all Isomara access to these locked biomes without needing the corresponding achievements.

When drawing an exploration picture, the background must depict what biome is being explored (For example, you wouldn’t draw your Isomara in an alpine tundra when exploring the ocean). One can take plenty of artistic liberty when depicting any biome as long as it can be partially identifiable with the biome you claim to explore.
Isomara are the ones that find and bring back items. Each exploration needs at least one Isomara; it can be an Isomara you own, another player (If permission allows), or an NPC.

Note: Isolings cannot explore alone! All Isolings must be accompanied by at least one adult Isomara when exploring. Feel free to use any NPC if you do not own an adult Isomara. The exception to this is if your Isoling is part of a team in the Isoling Club. Cadet Rank Isolings in a team do not need an adult but do need to be accompanied by at least one other Isoling of their team. Major and General Rank Isolings are specially equipped to handle themselves and do not need an adult or any other Isoling to accompany them.

Submit your exploration drawing/story by selecting Submit in the top right-hand of the navigation bar, just to the right of your username and avatar. Then select Submit Activity from the dropdown or click Submit Exploration here.

(1) Choose the type of exploration on the New Activity Submission page from the Prompt dropdown; this will be the biome you are depicting in your submission (Example: Explore - Coral Reef).

(2) Link your art/literature in the Submission URL field. You can link art and literature from places such as DeviantArt, the art gallery, forums, or other hosting sites.

(3) Add any additional comments you may have.

The following section is for you to list all characters included in the submission. You will not receive rewards for any characters left out. As exploration rewards increase with more characters, including all characters in your submission is best.
Leave Focus set to No for all characters and character rewards blank.

Lastly, leave the rewards and add-on sections alone, as the activity already has the default rewards filled out for you, and a staff member will change the reward amount if needed.

Once the above is complete, click the blue submit button to send your entry to the queue for approval, and you are done!

The items you find on your explorations can be used to craft other items like food, clothes, and tools to benefit your Isomara and companions. You can trade items with other members or sell them through your inventory.

The main focus of items in the game is for use on your characters. There are materials to create gear and tools that can be equipped to Isomara and some companion species. Various kinds of concoctions, accessories, and meals in the ARPG can be made and bought using what you find on the island. The items you find may also be essential for events. One core use for many items is keeping your Isomara well-fed. Every activity you complete will make your Isomara hungrier. Various edible items can be consumed to raise your Isomara's hunger and stats. You can view all the items and their uses here in the encyclopedia.
