Shimmer
- Shimmer turns it into Ambrosia.
Gathering tart forest citrus from tree branches
Felling or striking ordinary forest trees with an axe has a random chance to yield a Lemon along with regular wood. Eating the lemon applies the Well Fed buff for 5 minutes, granting +2 defense, +2% critical strike rate, +5% damage, and +20% movement speed.
Juicing for lemonade and ambrosia conversion
At a Cooking Pot or Cauldron, combining 1 lemon with 1 Bottle creates refreshing Lemonade, doubling the buff duration to 10 minutes. Alternatively, tossing the lemon into Shimmer transmutes it into Ambrosia for an irreversible boost to personal mining speed.
Trivia
- The tooltip recites the opening phrase of the popular proverb 'When life gives you lemons...'.
