Honeyvine

Overview

Honeyvine is an Expert Farmer-tier trellis crop in Starsand Island, classified as a berry. It grows during Spring and Summer, giving it a two-season growing window that carries straight from spring planting into summer harvesting. The vine matures in 6 days, produces 2 Honeyvines per harvest, and can be picked three times from a single planting before the vine dies.

Honeyvine Seeds are sold at the Happiness Seed Shop for 720 Coins each and become available once you earn Expert Farmer certification through Graminova's profession quests. Because Honeyvine is a trellis crop, it requires a Trellis structure rather than standard tilled farmland. The Trellis is unlocked earlier during the Apprentice Farmer tier through the "Natural Delicacies" quest, so by the time you reach Expert Farmer you will already have access to it.

With three harvests producing a total of 6 Honeyvines per seed, the crop generates 2,754 Coins in total revenue against a 720-Coin seed investment. The resulting net profit of 2,034 Coins per seed makes Honeyvine one of the most profitable trellis crops in the game, earning roughly 169.5 Coins per day across its full 12-day cycle. Honeyvine can be broken down into Fruit Pulp at the Separator or ground back into seeds using the Grinder. No cooking recipes or jam products currently use Honeyvine as a direct ingredient.

Quick Stats

How to Obtain Seeds

Honeyvine Seeds are sold by Graminova at the Happiness Seed Shop for 720 Coins per seed bag. The shop is located in Starsand Town and operates daily. You must reach the Expert Farmer tier before Honeyvine Seeds appear in the shop inventory.

To unlock Expert Farmer, you need to complete all prior Farmer certification tiers (Apprentice, Junior, Intermediate, Senior) and then fulfill the Expert Farmer trial quests given by Graminova. The Expert trial requires you to demonstrate mastery of automated farming by setting up 3 Sprinkler IIs, an Auto Fertilizer Box, and planting 15 Immortal Seeds. Once you earn Expert Farmer status, Honeyvine Seeds (along with other Expert-tier seeds like Star Plum, Jadelume, Zapweed, and Bell Pepper) become permanently available for purchase.

Seeds are not locked by season at the point of purchase. You can buy Honeyvine Seeds during any season and stockpile them for the next Spring planting window. This is especially useful near the end of Winter when you want to prepare for Spring.

An alternative way to obtain Honeyvine Seeds is through the Grinder. Placing Honeyvines into the Grinder will produce Honeyvine Seeds, allowing you to recycle part of your harvest back into planting material. You can also occasionally find seeds through general exploration, including chopping trees and shrubs, foraging weeds, and opening Treasure Chests scattered across the island.

Growing Honeyvine

Honeyvine is a vine crop that requires a Trellis to grow. Unlike crops planted on standard farmland, you place a Trellis structure on the ground and then plant the seed into it. Trellises auto-till the soil beneath them when placed, so you do not need to use your hoe on the ground first. This saves stamina compared to standard farmland crops that require tilling each plot manually. For a full overview of trellis placement and layout, see the Paddy Fields, Trellises, and Planting Boxes page.

After planting, Honeyvine takes 6 days to reach its first harvest. Water the crop every day for it to grow on schedule. If you skip a day of watering, growth will stall until the next time you water it. Once the plant is ready, harvest it to collect 2 Honeyvines.

Multi-Harvest Cycle

Honeyvine is a multi-harvest crop with three total harvests. After the first harvest, the vine does not disappear. Instead, it enters a regrowth phase lasting 3 days. Once regrowth is complete, you can harvest another 2 Honeyvines. The vine regrows one more time after the second harvest, producing a final batch of 2 Honeyvines before becoming spent. After the third and final harvest, the Trellis becomes empty and you must plant a new seed to continue growing.

• Day 1 to 6: Initial growth period after planting.

• First Harvest (Day 6): Pick 2 Honeyvines. The vine begins regrowing.

• Second Harvest (Day 9): Pick 2 more Honeyvines after the vine regrows.

• Third Harvest (Day 12): Pick the final 2 Honeyvines. The vine withers and the Trellis is freed for a new seed.

Over the full 12-day cycle, a single Honeyvine seed produces 6 Honeyvines worth 459 Coins each, totaling 2,754 Coins in revenue. After subtracting the 720-Coin seed cost, the net profit is 2,034 Coins per plant, or roughly 169.5 Coins per day. This makes Honeyvine the highest-earning trellis crop on a per-seed basis at the Expert tier.

Seasonal Availability

Honeyvine grows in Spring and Summer. Each season lasts 28 in-game days. Because Honeyvine spans two consecutive seasons, a vine planted partway through Spring will continue growing right into Summer without interruption. This is a significant advantage over crops limited to a single season, since you do not lose progress during the season transition.

With the 6-day initial growth time and 3-day regrowth periods, the full three-harvest cycle takes only 12 days. If you plant on day 1 of Spring, you complete the full cycle by day 12 with over two weeks remaining in the season to start a second round. You can realistically complete two full cycles (24 days) within a single season, or start a second cycle in late Spring that finishes comfortably in Summer.

If you are nearing the end of Summer and cannot complete the full regrowth cycle, it may still be worth planting for the first harvest alone. The first harvest of 2 Honeyvines at 459 Coins each returns 918 Coins on a 720-Coin investment, netting 198 Coins of profit even without the second and third picks.

Sell Price and Profitability

Each Honeyvine sells for 459 Coins. Since one seed (720 Coins) produces 6 Honeyvines across three harvests, a single planting yields 2,754 Coins in revenue, for a net profit of 2,034 Coins per seed. Over the 12-day full growth cycle, that works out to 169.5 Coins of profit per day per Trellis.

For higher returns, consider selling your harvest to the Merchant Ship when it docks at Starsand Town. The Merchant Ship pays roughly double the standard vendor price for select goods, which could push Honeyvine revenue to around 918 Coins per fruit. Timing your harvests to coincide with the ship's visits maximizes your earnings.

Comparison with Other Expert Trellis Crops

Three Expert Farmer crops use Trellises: Honeyvine, Star Plum, and Jadelume. All three are multi-harvest crops with 3 harvests and 3-day regrowth periods. The table below shows how they compare.

Honeyvine has the highest net profit per seed and the highest gold per day among all Expert trellis crops. Star Plum is close behind and covers different seasons (Spring and Autumn), making the two crops complementary rather than competing. Jadelume is the only Winter trellis option at the Expert tier. By growing all three, you can maintain year-round trellis income across every season.

Processing Options

Honeyvine can be processed at two different stations. No cooking recipes currently use Honeyvine as a direct ingredient, and there is no Honeyvine Jam product at the Jam Maker.

Processing Honeyvine at the Separator yields Fruit Pulp, one of the most commonly needed cooking base ingredients. Fruit Pulp is used in crafting Animal Feed (both Cattle Feed and Sheep Feed require Fruit Pulp) and appears as an ingredient in various desserts and pastries. If you have a surplus of Honeyvines beyond what you can sell, converting them into Fruit Pulp is a practical way to support your livestock or cooking operations.

Because Honeyvine's raw sell price of 459 Coins is already very high, selling the crop directly is usually more profitable than processing it into Fruit Pulp. Reserve Separator processing for situations where you specifically need Fruit Pulp for recipes or animal feed rather than coins.

Everlasting Honeyvine Seeds

Like all crops in Starsand Island, Honeyvine has an Everlasting variant. Everlasting Honeyvine Seeds produce a vine that does not become spent after the third harvest. Instead, the crop continues regrowing and producing Honeyvines indefinitely, eliminating the need to buy new seeds and replant. Everlasting crops also ignore season restrictions, meaning an Everlasting Honeyvine vine will grow year-round, including during Autumn and Winter.

There are several ways to obtain Everlasting Honeyvine Seeds:

• Islandpedia Rewards: Completing certain entries in the Plants section of the Islandpedia may reward you with Everlasting Seeds for specific crops.

• Eternal Blessings Skill: The Senior Farmer tier unlocks the Eternal Blessings skill, which gives a chance of receiving an Everlasting Seed when harvesting any regular crop. The higher your farming proficiency, the better the odds.

• Creamy Seeds Buff: Eating Mirthshroom Soup (recipe found in a Moonlit Forest chest) grants a temporary buff that increases the chance of dropping Everlasting Seeds when harvesting. Combine this with the Eternal Blessings skill for the best results.

• Random Harvest Drops: Occasionally, harvesting a normal Honeyvine plant will yield an Everlasting Honeyvine Seed alongside the regular Honeyvines.

Everlasting Seeds are safe to relocate. If you remove an Everlasting crop from a Trellis, the seed returns to your inventory so you can replant it elsewhere without losing your investment. Over time, building up a collection of Everlasting Honeyvine Seeds lets you maintain a permanent Honeyvine field that produces fruit every 3 days without any ongoing seed costs. Since Everlasting crops are not restricted by season, this is especially powerful for Honeyvine, which normally cannot grow during Autumn or Winter.

Tips

• Plant on day 1 of Spring for two full cycles: A Honeyvine planted on day 1 finishes its first full cycle by day 12. You can plant a second round immediately and complete it by day 24, fitting two complete cycles into a single 28-day season.

• Take advantage of the Spring-to-Summer carryover: Unlike many crops that die at the end of their season, Honeyvine spans two consecutive seasons. A vine planted late in Spring will continue growing through the season change into Summer without any interruption.

• Use sprinklers on your Trellises: Honeyvine stays planted for 12 days across its full cycle. Setting up sprinklers near your trellis rows saves significant time and stamina by automating daily watering across the entire growth period.

• Pair with Star Plum and Jadelume for year-round trellis income: Honeyvine covers Spring and Summer, Star Plum covers Spring and Autumn, and Jadelume covers Winter. Growing all three ensures you have Expert-tier trellis crops producing fruit in every season.

• Apply Quality Fertilizer: With a 6-day growth time, Honeyvine benefits from Quality Fertilizer, which can boost the crop's quality and resulting sell price. Higher-quality Honeyvines sell for more than the base 459 Coins per fruit.

• Sell raw rather than processing: At 459 Coins per fruit, Honeyvine's raw sell price is already very high. There is no Honeyvine Jam at the Jam Maker, so your best return comes from selling Honeyvines directly or through the Merchant Ship at double price.

• Place Bumblebee hives nearby: Bumblebees placed in beehives near your Trellises boost crop growth speed significantly. This can shorten both the initial growth period and the regrowth intervals, letting you squeeze more harvests into a single season.

• Work toward Everlasting Seeds: Once you have the Eternal Blessings skill from Senior Farmer, every Honeyvine harvest has a chance of dropping an Everlasting Seed. Everlasting Honeyvine is extremely valuable because it removes season restrictions and eliminates the 720-Coin seed cost entirely, turning every harvest into pure profit.
