After using fly mode in the game’s console, I found that the ingame map doesn’t represent the island(s) of Eastshade as it is seen in the game, and decided to completely redo this guide.

The map may not be as accurate as possible. Roads and paths have been removed from the map, as well as points of interest. Every possible location is marked on the map:

Red capitals – regions
Boxed numbers – locations
Brown lines (straight & dotted) – zip trolleys and balloon ride
Green lines – caves
Green fish – fishing spot
Light blue – waterways
Blue - hotsprings

Explore every possible area of Eastshade and step away from roads and paths. To be most succeful in gathering herbs, sticks, roots, mushrooms, etc., do your exploring by night, as then the items will be easier to detect. But, be sure to buy a coat at the market in Nava before starting to explore by night.
