11Overview22Grape Juice is a category of Juicer-crafted beverages in Starsand Island that come in two variants: Green Grape Juice and Red Grape Juice. Both drinks restore 98 Energy and sell for 210 Gold, but they grant different resource-gathering buffs. Green Grape Juice provides the Bonus Ore buff that increases ore yield when mining, while Red Grape Juice provides the Bonus Timber buff that increases wood yield when logging.44These juices are among the most popular exploration rations in the game because they are simple to produce (requiring only two grapes each) and provide powerful stacking buffs that can dramatically boost resource collection. Players heading into the Moonlit Forest or other gathering areas often stockpile grape juice beforehand to maximize their haul.66Both grape juice recipes unlock through the Farmer Certification questline, specifically at the Junior Farmer tier. The Junior Farmer trial itself involves growing grapes and making juice, so players naturally learn these recipes as part of their profession progression.88Variants1010The two grape juice variants share identical base stats for energy restoration and sell price. The key difference is the buff each one grants, which determines when and why players choose one over the other.1212AttributeGreen Grape JuiceRed Grape JuiceIngredients2x Green Grape2x Red GrapeCrafting StationJuicerJuicerEnergy Restored+98+98Sell Price210 Gold210 GoldBuffBonus OreBonus TimberBuff EffectIncreases ore yield from miningIncreases wood yield from loggingMax Stacks5x5xUnlockFarmer CertificationFarmer CertificationGrape SeasonSpring, SummerAutumn, Winter1414Since Green Grapes grow in Spring and Summer while Red Grapes grow in Autumn and Winter, players can produce grape juice year-round by cultivating both varieties. This seasonal pairing ensures a steady supply of both Bonus Ore and Bonus Timber buffs regardless of the time of year.1515Recipe Details1717Both grape juice recipes are crafted at the Juicer, a processing station whose blueprint can be purchased from the Aureleaf Kitchen in Starsand Town for 550 Gold. The Juicer does not require fuel to operate; simply load the ingredients and it produces the juice automatically.1919Each batch of grape juice requires exactly 2 grapes of the matching color. No additional ingredients like Sugar or Honey are needed, which makes grape juice one of the simplest Juicer recipes in the game. Since a single grape plant yields 2 grapes per harvest, one harvest from one trellis provides the exact amount needed for one serving of juice.2121Crafting Summary2323RecipeIngredientsStationEnergySell PriceBuffGreen Grape JuiceGreen Grape x2Juicer+98210 GoldBonus OreRed Grape JuiceRed Grape x2Juicer+98210 GoldBonus Timber2525Buff Mechanics2626Bonus Ore2828The Bonus Ore buff is granted by consuming Green Grape Juice. When active, it increases the amount of ore you receive from each mining node. This applies to all ore types, including common minerals and rarer finds like Gold Ore and Coal. The buff stacks up to 5 times, meaning you can drink up to 5 servings of Green Grape Juice to build up the maximum effect before starting a mining run.3030Players who rely on mining as a primary income source or need large quantities of ore for crafting often prepare batches of Green Grape Juice before heading to mining areas. A fully stacked Bonus Ore buff can substantially increase the total ore collected in a single trip, cutting down on the number of runs needed to gather materials.3232Bonus Timber3434The Bonus Timber buff is granted by consuming Red Grape Juice. It works the same way as Bonus Ore but applies to wood gathering instead. When chopping trees with this buff active, you receive more wood per tree. Like its counterpart, Bonus Timber stacks up to 5 times.3636This buff is particularly useful during building projects or when stockpiling lumber for furniture crafting. Before a dedicated logging session, drink 5 Red Grape Juices to maximize your timber yield from each tree.3838Stacking Tips4040Each serving of grape juice adds one stack of the respective buff. Drink 5 servings to reach the maximum 5x stack.The buff is consumed over time or through gathering actions. Bring extra juice on long trips so you can refresh the buff if it wears off.Bonus Ore and Bonus Timber are separate buffs, so you can have both active simultaneously if you are both mining and logging in the same trip.The Goldspike Blend (12x Wheat, Juicer) also grants Bonus Ore, giving players an alternative source for the mining buff if Green Grapes are not in season.4242Ingredient Sourcing4444Both grape varieties are trellis crops that require a vertical support structure to grow. Seeds for both Green Grapes and Red Grapes can be purchased from the Happiness Seed Shop for 150 Gold each once you reach the Junior Farmer tier of the Farming profession.4646Grape VariantGrowing SeasonGrowth TimeYield per HarvestTotal HarvestsSeed CostGrape Sell PriceGreen GrapeSpring, Summer3 days23150 Gold95 GoldRed GrapeAutumn, Winter3 days23150 Gold95 Gold4848Each grape plant produces 2 grapes per harvest across 3 harvests for a total of 6 grapes per seed. Since each juice requires 2 grapes, one seed generates enough grapes for 3 servings of juice over the plant's lifetime. For a large-scale juice operation, dedicate a row of trellises to grapes and set up sprinklers alongside them for automated watering.4949If you obtain Everlasting Seeds for either grape variant, the vine never withers and produces harvests indefinitely. This turns a single trellis into a permanent grape juice supply with minimal upkeep beyond harvesting.5151Profitability5353Grape juice offers a notable price increase over selling raw grapes. Two grapes worth 95 Gold each (190 Gold total) convert into one juice worth 210 Gold, a gain of 20 Gold per batch. While this markup is modest on its own, the real value of grape juice lies in its buffs rather than its sale price.5555MetricValueRaw Grape Value (2x)190 GoldJuice Sell Price210 GoldProcessing Profit+20 Gold per batchGrapes per Seed (Lifetime)6Juice per Seed (Lifetime)3 servingsRevenue per Seed (as Juice)630 GoldRevenue per Seed (Raw Grapes)570 GoldNet Gain from Juicing+60 Gold per seed5757Converting grapes to juice adds 60 Gold in revenue per seed over selling the raw crop. However, the true economic value of grape juice is indirect. The Bonus Ore and Bonus Timber buffs allow players to gather significantly more resources per trip, which translates to higher income from selling or crafting with those materials. For most players, drinking the juice is far more profitable than selling it.5858For a broader comparison of crop and recipe economics, see the Crop Profitability and Cooking Recipes articles.6060Related Drinks6262Several other Juicer recipes are related to grape juice, either by sharing ingredients or providing similar buffs.6464DrinkIngredientsEnergySell PriceBuffGoldspike BlendWheat x12+98212 GoldBonus OreRosy GlowRed Grape x2, Sugar x13+197778 GoldReady on the SpotSuncloud SipWheat x12, Corn x1+136400 GoldDouble LootSoy MilkSoybean x2+97206 GoldNone6666Goldspike Blend is an alternative source of the Bonus Ore buff that uses 12 Wheat instead of 2 Green Grapes. It restores the same 98 Energy and sells for a slightly higher 212 Gold. However, it requires significantly more raw materials per batch, making Green Grape Juice the more efficient choice for stacking the Bonus Ore buff.6767Rosy Glow uses 2 Red Grapes alongside 13 Sugar to create a high-energy drink that restores 197 Energy and sells for 778 Gold. Instead of Bonus Timber, it grants the Ready on the Spot buff. This makes it a better option for energy recovery and income, but not a substitute for the Bonus Timber buff that Red Grape Juice provides.6969Tips7171Always drink 5 servings before a major gathering run to reach the maximum buff stack. The increased resource yield more than pays for the juice consumed.Carry extra grape juice in your inventory during exploration trips. If the buff wears off mid-run, you can refresh it on the spot without returning home.Plant both Green Grapes (Spring and Summer) and Red Grapes (Autumn and Winter) to maintain year-round juice production.Pair Bonus Ore from Green Grape Juice with other mining perks for the highest possible ore yield per node.The Juicer does not consume fuel, so there is no ongoing cost beyond the grapes themselves.If Green Grapes are out of season and you need the Bonus Ore buff, craft Goldspike Blend from Wheat as a substitute.For the Junior Farmer trial, you need to produce grape juice as part of the certification. Planting at least 15 grape seeds gets you enough grapes to complete the trial in a single harvest.Consider investing in Everlasting Grape Seeds for a permanent, low-maintenance juice supply.
