- Shimmer turns it into Ambrosia.
Boreal tree shaking in snow biome orchards
Cherries are acquired by striking or chopping Boreal wood trees within the frozen Snow biome. Shaking snow-covered tree trunks gives a chance to drop fruit from the sub-zero flora table, yielding crisp red Cherries. Consuming a Cherry applies the Well Fed buff for 5 minutes (18,000 ticks), granting minor stat increases including +2 defense, +2% critical strike rate, and improved life recovery.
Tundra expedition rations and Ambrosia conversion
Cherries provide quick nourishment while exploring cold surface tundras and subterranean ice caverns. Players can blend two Cherries at a Cooking Pot to produce Fruit Juice, tripling the total buff duration to 15 minutes. Submerging a Cherry in liquid shimmer transmutes it into Ambrosia, permanently providing +5% mining and tile placement speed. Surplus cherries sell to vendors for 20 silver apiece.
Trivia
- Cherries share the Boreal tree canopy harvest table with Plums in the tundra biome.
- Boreal trees shaken during blizzards still drop Cherries with identical drop chances.
