Where to Find Items: Bait, Balm, Food Materials & Key Utilities
A search-first item hub for materials players repeatedly look up, with acquisition routes grouped by use instead of one thin URL per item.
Cleansing Balm
Use it to remove Ghost Tentacles from farm plots. Current sources include early Farmer Hans progression plus exploration/combat/task rewards; the Farm shop also lists a limited stock in current demo data.
Worm bait
Worms can be harvested from Wormsprout plants and can also appear in low-tier Bait Packs. Use Worms for several Lakefront fish.
Dragonfly bait
Current data lists Dragonflies from bug-catching in the Old Woods and from Bait Packs. They are used for Old Woods campsite fish such as Ancient Pike, Goldfish, Aetherfin and Razorfish.
Maggot bait
Current data ties Maggots to a Sewer interaction with Maggot Man involving Mystery Meat. Maggots are used for Sewer fish such as Slimefish and Rot Puffer.
Secret Sauce
Process an Eyeball in a Grinder/Windmill, buy it at the General Store, or find it in the Mall Mine in current demo data.
Why this page is a hub
Most of these answers are too short for separate indexable pages. Grouping them by task/use gives players a searchable reference without manufacturing thin content.
Item fixes from the Sep 22–23 patches
- Cat Toy can now be turned in — the interaction was broken before the Sep 22 patch.
- Weird Fish now appears properly instead of failing to display.
- “Die” items are giftable again.
- Crusader’s Greaves no longer require a copy of themselves as a crafting material (fixed Sep 23).
- Catacombs shop prices now apply on existing save files, not just new ones — if the shop looked wrong on an old save, re-check it now.
- The selected consumable no longer changes on its own while you are eating food, so you stop eating the wrong item.
