Cooking buffs

Overview

Cooking buffs are temporary effects granted by eating specific cooked meals. They provide bonuses across farming, fishing, combat, foraging, and daily life. Most buffs last around 4 minutes and some can stack up to 5x by eating multiple servings. Eating a different buff meal replaces the current buff.

Farming buffs

Creamy Seeds

Harvesting crops has a chance to drop regular or rare Everlasting Seeds. Stacks up to 5x. Example food: Mirthshroom Soup. Everlasting Seeds can be replanted indefinitely. One of the best long-term investments for farmers. Eat before harvesting a large field.

Watering Mastery

The same amount of water irrigates more tiles. Example food: Fried Egg. Does not stack. Most useful before sprinklers are unlocked at Intermediate Farmer tier.

Field Prep Mastery

Reduces stamina cost when hoeing land. Useful when preparing large new crop fields.

Fishing buffs

Never Skunked

Fish bite immediately, no bait testing. Every cast is a guaranteed catch. The single best buff for fishing sessions, especially when targeting rare species.

Flow Fishing

Your fishing line will not break. Makes catches more consistent, especially for strong fish that normally strain the line.

Underwater Treasure

Fishing yields extra treasure chests alongside your catch. Chests contain coins, crafting materials, and rare collectibles.

Combat and exploration buffs

Battle Spirit

Boosts attack power. Stacks up to 5x. Example food: Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms (4 min duration). Eat before Moonlit Forest runs and boss fights.

Forest's Gift

Chance to recover ammo on hit; chance to find unknown ore chunks when mining. Stacks up to 3x. Example food: Soup Dumplings. Useful for extended dungeon runs where ammo conservation matters.

Gathering buffs

Bonus Timber

Increases wood gathering yield. Example food: Red Grape Juice. Eat before a tree-chopping session.

Bonus Ore

Increases ore gathering yield. Example food: Green Grape Juice. Eat before mining runs.

Utility buffs

Scavenger

Guarantees a reward every time you search a trash can. Normally, searching has a random chance of yielding nothing. Minor income over a full day of searching.

Trash Treasure

Better chance to find rare items when searching trash cans. Pairs well with Scavenger if you can activate both.

Pet Pal

Your active pet will come to you instead of wandering and grants a large affection boost.
