The Winter Root is a foraging item found only in Winter. Wild winter roots do not grow above ground, but instead they are buried in the snow/dirt and must be dug up with a Hoe (no other tools, even Bombs, will work).
The highest chance of finding a Winter Root (17-24%, map-dependent) is when digging up an Artifact Spot.[1] There is also a 4% chance of finding a Winter Root when digging standard tillable soil in any exterior location.[2] Exceptions are in the Desert, where Winter Roots can be found in standard tillable soil but not artifact spots, and the Farm, where the reverse is true: Winter Roots can be found at artifact spots, but not standard tillable soil. Digging up a Winter Root provides no experience.
Winter Roots can also be grown from Winter Seeds, in which case they are a standard wild-seed crop: they grow above ground, can be harvested without using a tool, and give 7 Foraging XP.
Occasionally they may be sold at the Traveling Cart or found in Garbage Cans in Winter. They may also be dropped by Blue Slimes (8% chance) in The Mines (floors 40-80) or Secret Woods.
Putting a Winter Root in a Seed Maker will generate 1-3 Winter Seeds.

- ↑ The chance of appearing in an artifact spot is calculated by GameLocation::digUpArtifactSpot. The base chance in code is 30% (0.5*0.6), but the actual chance is lower because artifacts and lost books are checked first and must all fail their checks.
- ↑ The chance of appearing in standard tillable soil is calculated by GameLocation::checkForBuriedItem.
History
- 1.4: Winter Root can no longer be dug up in the Desert in Winter. Can now be used in Tailoring.
