The main issue is the lack of White Powders for sale. So either upping the drop rate, or making them obtainable in multiple ways, should help (by increasing supply, therefore reducing their value)

It also doesn’t really make sense lore-wise how you can get a mysterious "White Powder" from delivering berries to NPCs.

[Context - you can get White Powders from Berrygarden tasks from level ~25 onwards. You need 5 for a single Sword of Justice egg, and the recipe unlocks at level 30. Each one is worth 250k Pd, so 1.25M per egg]

Expansion of current methods:
Powders could be obtainable from tasks from level 15, instead of level ~25. This’d also mean there'd be something to work towards while increasing your Level to get to level 30 [for the recipes]. And if users aren't aiming for the legendaries, there'd be more powders for sale. Though the issue with that would be that the items needed for tasks are significantly cheaper / easier to obtain at lower levels; so maybe the drop rate could be lower.

The drop rate for powders could increase each level. Or the maximum number of powders from a single task could increase every X levels. This could be capped at a certain level, possibly 100/150.

Along similar lines of being linked to your Gardener level, another idea could possibly be to introduce level rewards: 1 White Powder every 5 levels from 15-30, 1 every level for 30+ (that might be too much, maybe 2 every 5 levels 30 till 50, and 1 every level for 50+)

[This would also help with making higher Gardener levels more rewarding]

New methods:

Powders could be obtainable from the beach. This’d make some sense lore-wise (sand/ground up shells). You could find them washed up on the shore, like the Shoal items, at a 1/500-1/1000 chance (you can only get 5 items per day)

And/or you could fish them up very rarely, with 1/500-1/1000 odds. Potentially requiring specific weather / the Fisherman’s Hat (to have such skill to fish up fine Powder with a rod).


Shoal Shells , Shoal Salts , and Tiny Mushrooms are all unused items. White Powders have a reddish tinge - . Maybe they could be crafted using Tiny Mushrooms? Potential ways:
- trade with Leah (Shell/Salt from beach. Mushrooms aren’t obtainable from the beach though)
- Cooking Pot (add X of each Shoal item + Y Mushrooms; higher temperature required than normal items)
Or maybe the mentioned items could be added each time you cook, and you have a chance to get Powders randomly. Similar to tipping at Seashellos.
Potentially using Stardust as well, as that’s also red + has only one use (Solar Eevee).


Gem Cauldron. White Powders could be leftover gem sediment from boilings. This could be random, or collected every X items boiled. (This would also help with making the Gem Cauldron more profitable)
Also could apply to Cooking Pot as well, but lower rate / more items needed to be cooked [not related to the Shoal/Mushroom idea]

Thread has received Mod approval and is now open for discussion.
