Fairy Dust
Sprinkle on kegs, furnaces, and other refining equipment to instantly receive their product.
Fairy Dust is a craftable item that allows the player to make machinery immediately finish the process it is carrying out. The player receives the recipe after completing "The Pirate's Wife" quest for Birdie.
When used in casks, the product does not go directly to iridium quality unless it is currently in gold quality. Instead it will go to the next quality level each time Fairy dust is used until iridium quality has been reached.
