Solstalk
A Transcendent 2x2 crop that needs an Ember Orb and ripens in about 4 hours with one nearby.
Solstalk is a Transcendent crop that grows from Solstalk Seeds. It only grows near an Ember Orb. With an orb nearby, it ripens in about 4 hours and regrows every 13 minutes after each harvest.
Growing
Buy Solstalk Seeds from Maya’s Crop Shop and plant them on an open 2x2 space in your garden. Maya restocks every 5 minutes, but these seeds only show up in about 1 in 28 restocks, and she has 2-5 of them when they do. If they are sold out, you can still buy them with crystals. See How Stock Works.
You can also catch the seeds as a rare find while fishing in the ocean with a Master Fishing Rod.
| Stage | Time to next stage |
|---|---|
| Stage 1 | 5h 30m |
| Stage 2 | 17m 25s |
| Ripe | Ready to harvest |
These times are for a crop that is not watered. Watered crops take 25% less time to grow, and the orb waters your crop for you.
Growing Requirements
Solstalk needs an Ember Orb to grow. Place the orb within 6 tiles of the crop. If any part of the crop is that close, it counts.
You can plant the seeds before you have an orb, but the crop does not grow until one is in range. If you move the orb away, growth pauses and carries on when an orb is back in range.
Buy an Ember Orb from Minerva for 15,000 gold. It also waters the crops around it, so with an orb in range, Solstalk ripens in about 4h 21m and regrows in about 13m 4s.
Harvest
Each harvest gives 1-2 Solstalk. You might also find a bonus item:
After a harvest, Solstalk goes back to stage 2 and is ripe again in 17m 25s (13m 4s with its orb).
Uses
- Sell it to Kalt for 435 gold each.
