The Golden Animal Cracker is an item that can be obtained in a variety of ways after claiming Farming Mastery.
Locations
After claiming Farming Mastery, Golden Animal Crackers can be found by:
- 7% chance from Fishing Treasure Chests (9% from golden chests).[1]
- 2% chance from Skull Cavern treasure rooms.[2]
- 0.5% chance from Golden Mystery Boxes.[3]
- ≈0.9% chance from Artifact Spots.[4]
- ≈0.2% chance from shaking trees with seeds.[4]
- ≈0.033% chance from chopping trees (each axe hit).[4]
- ≈0.15% chance from breaking crates and barrels in the Mines, Skull Cavern, and Volcano Dungeon.[4]
- ≈0.15% chance from slaying monsters.[4]
Daily luck will affect the chance to obtain a Golden Animal Cracker from some of these sources, indicated by an "≈".
Use
Once given to any animal (besides pigs), this item will make that animal produce double the output of its normal product. Pigs cannot receive this buff.
It can also be thrown into a Fish Pond, having the same effect as giving it to a farm animal. The basket holding the fish pond's produce will turn gold, and an icon of the cracker will appear in the fish pond's menu when brought up. Note that if the Fish Pond is emptied with the “empty pond” option, the basket will reset to normal and the Golden Animal Cracker will permanently disappear. (Emptying the fish pond without clicking that option will not make the Golden Animal Cracker disappear, however it will not be possible to put a different fish species in the pond).
The Golden Animal Cracker cannot be used on animals or a Fish Pond more than once. When an animal's information screen is displayed, the upper right corner contains a Golden Animal Cracker icon to indicate that it has been previously used.
