Forest Realm
Signature essence

Forest Realm is where every Time Heroes account starts. Entry is free, there is no level to reach first, and an egg here costs 150 coins, the cheapest price in the game. The tutorial is built on top of this world, so the four materials the first recipes ask for, copper, coal, iron and crude oil, all come out of the rocks you are already breaking.
Forest Essence is the signature drop, and it is the only world essence in the Uncommon band. Every other world essence sits above it. 7 creatures live here, one for each rarity, and the rarest of them is a Secret that stays a question mark until it hatches.

Forest Realm is where everyone starts. There is no level to reach and nothing to unlock first.
Everything below hatches from the Forest Realm egg.

What drops here
| Material | Chance per rock | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Copper Ore | 8.0% | Raw unrefined copper, waiting to be smelted. |
| Coal | 6.7% | Combustible black rock used for basic smelting operations and low-tier fuel refinement. |
| Iron Ore | 4.4% | Raw unrefined iron, waiting to be smelted. |
| Crude Oil | 3.8% | Thick, unrefined petroleum liquid used directly in chemical synthetics. |
| Forest Essence | 2.5% | The pure essence of the Forest Realm |
These are chances per rock you break, not shares of one whole, so they do not add up to 100 percent. Anything not listed is plain rock.

What this world teaches you
Nutfern is usually the first creature anyone hatches, and Moro the first one worth building a team around. Neither of them stays strong for long. The same rarity is five times stronger one world along, and it keeps multiplying by five, so nothing you pull here will still be carrying you at depth.
What you learn does stay. The ore names are the same ones the deep recipes ask for, your lifetime records and your pet score survive every reset, and the routine in the tenth world is the routine here: break rock, sell ore, buy an egg, hatch it, evolve it.
Elderoot
Elderoot holds the exit at level 20, and the fight runs inside a 90 second window. Winning pays 1 Coin Bag 3 and 5 Loot Box 3.
Every world after this one is locked behind the boss of the world before it. Coins on their own will not open a door, and essence never opens one at all.
Why come back here
Leaving this world does not retire it.
- Forest Essence drops nowhere else, and research asks for it early: the Auto Miner wants 10 of it and opens at level 11.
- Copper, coal, iron and crude oil sit in the same rocks here, and the opening crafting recipes never stop asking for them.
- The 7 creatures here are a full rarity set, so the collection is not finished until the Secret at the top of it turns up.
