Shimmer

Tropical palm tree foraging on coastal shores

Bananas are collected by shaking or chopping Palm trees situated along Ocean coastlines and desert oases. Striking palm trunks offers a chance to dislodge fruit from the tropical pool, awarding a fresh Banana. Consuming a Banana applies the Well Fed buff for 5 minutes (18,000 ticks), granting minor enhancements to player defense, critical strike probability, minion knockback, and health regeneration.

Daiquiri distillation and shimmer upgrades

At a Cooking Pot, a Banana can be blended with a mug and snow block to craft a Frozen Banana Daiquiri, extending dietary stat bonuses into a festive cocktail. Dropping a Banana into shimmer liquid transmutes it into Ambrosia, granting a permanent 5% mining and placement speed upgrade. Extra harvested bananas can also be sold to vendors for 20 silver each.

Trivia

  • The item tooltip touts Bananas as a 'Good source of potassium!', referencing real-world nutritional advice.
  • Palm trees can be grown on sand blocks with acorns, allowing players to build custom coastal banana groves.
