Granite biome creature spoils

Potato Chips are an uncrafted snack dropped by cavern enemies including Crawdad, Giant Shelly, and Salamander with a 1.33% drop chance. Eating the salty chips grants Well Fed for 25 minutes, supplying +2 defense, +2% critical strike chance, +5% damage and minion knockback, +20% movement speed and 5% mining speed, and enhanced health regeneration.

Cavern farming delivers lasting sustenance

Spending time in underground Granite caverns hunting for loot often yields several bags of Potato Chips. Tying Fruit Salad as one of the longest-lasting tier-one food items, a single serving covers nearly an entire in-game day, making it an excellent supply for extensive exploratory digging without cooking overhead.

Trivia

  • The tooltip 'Betcha can't eat just one!' references a classic real-world potato chip advertising slogan.
  • Potato Chips sell for 30 silver, matching the store price of several cooked dishes.
