This thread is being made early to make sure that we can immediately get content onto it as soon as the first spook / sinister is found (likely in 20 or so days).

We did a great job last year getting images onto the thread! However, because we now know much more about these woods than before, i am seeking to get good images of them, as the spook and sinister pages are in need of actual tree images (the current ones are exact replicas).

I hope that even more data will be collected this time as we can also rely on the LT2 discord to gather images as well, if they encounter any trees.

'''1. Take multiple images of the tree you find, especially up close, and make sure that nothing is blocking it. Make it gallery-worthy!'''

2. If, in the rare case you discover a Sinister tree, pleaaseee turn your graphics down before taking the images so the tree can be cropped!

​3. Even though location is not necessary anymore, it would be interesting to know where it was found (specifically).

4. If you have a video, please share it!

'''1. SERVERHOP! Many servers will contain various trees; don't wait for one to pop up after a few hours!'''

'''2. Avoid private servers. Most private servers, unlike public servers, are only a few hours old, so there a few chances for spook/sinister to grow large.'''

'''3. Go with a team. Mehda and I managed to collect around 10 trees last year; by teaming up we managed to get to the trees faster when located.'''

As with last year, and the year before that, spook and sinister typically grow a few hours before defaultio tweets his "its about to get spooky" message, and they seem to become more common around October 15.
