Ok, I'm having issues with this. I managed to get the 100 trading sticks needed to get in, and my favor was at around 17% (didn't think it made a difference). Then when I go to chop, it said I need to help out the citizens or something.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So what am I missing? Do I need more favor? Do I have to work with them recently? What?

I would do these things and don't even bother with the village peeps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For teak go to Caste Wars and head south across the brdige and then west to the very end, you'll see a teak tree.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For mahogany, you will need to have started Monkey Maddness, there is tree where you are ambushed by the drug invested monkeys.
