Revision 1

Overview

Golden Apple is a miscellaneous item in Crimson Desert. It is a strange fruit that is visible only to hedgehogs. The Golden Apple Tree cannot be seen with human eyes, so finding one requires watching the ground for hedgehogs rather than looking at trees. If you spot a glimmering light atop a hedgehog's back, follow it to discover the fruit.

In-game description: "A strange fruit visible only to hedgehogs. The Golden Apple Tree can't be seen with human eyes, so if you want to get a Golden Apple, you'll need to watch the ground as you move around, not the trees. If you see a glimmering light atop a hedgehog's back, do not lose sight of it; follow wherever it leads."

Uses

Golden Apples are used as an ingredient in one of the Gold Bar crafting recipes at a Witch NPC:

• Gold Bar (Golden Apple recipe): 3 Gold Ore + 1 Golden Apple = 1 Gold Bar

However, Golden Apples are rare and there is no known reliable method for farming them in large quantities. For consistent Gold Bar production, the Brimstone/Mercury/Silver Ore recipe (3 Brimstone + 3 Mercury + 10 Silver Ore) is far more practical.

How to Find

Look for hedgehogs while exploring the open world. When a hedgehog has a glimmering light on its back, follow it carefully without losing sight. The hedgehog will lead you to a Golden Apple Tree that is otherwise invisible. Golden Apples obtained this way are uncommon, making them a supplementary rather than primary ingredient for Gold Bar crafting.
