Frozen Tear is a foraged mineral from the middle floors of The Mines. It matters most as Sebastian's loved gift, and as one of the minerals in the Geologist's Bundle. Ten of them go into the Warrior Ring, an early combat ring. Blobfish and Ice Pip Fish Ponds ask for them, and the Help Wanted board requests them too. Most of the town likes it, so spare Frozen Tears always find a use.
The in-game description reads: A crystal fabled to be the frozen tears of a yeti.
Location
Frozen Tears lie on the ground on floors 40 to 79 of The Mines. When the Dangerous Mines are active, that range shrinks to floors 71 to 79. They also appear on the floors of the Skull Cavern.
Dust Sprites on the same floors drop a Frozen Tear about one time in fifty. After the bottom of The Mines has been reached, barrels and crates on floors 40 to 79 can hold them as well.
Frozen Geodes hold a Frozen Tear about one time in sixteen, and Omni Geodes can hold one too. Clint at the Blacksmith cracks either for 25g.
Panning, Fishing Treasure Chests and the Garbage Cans in town can all give Frozen Tears. A full Ice Pip Fish Pond can produce five at once. The Wizard sometimes sends one in the mail. Pierre's booth at the Feast of the Winter Star sometimes sells one, though at a high price.
The Statue Of Endless Fortune gives a Frozen Tear every year on Sebastian's birthday.
Prices
Frozen Tear sells for little on its own. As with every gem and mineral, the Gemologist profession at Mining level 10 adds thirty percent to a Frozen Tear's price.
In a Crystalarium, a copy takes well under a day. That earns roughly 96g a day per machine, close to Amethyst. A Frozen Tear Crystalarium is also the easiest way to gather the ten needed for a Warrior Ring and a steady stock of gifts for Sebastian.
Uses
The Geologist's Bundle in the Boiler Room needs one Frozen Tear, along with Quartz, an Earth Crystal and a Fire Quartz. The bundle rewards five Omni Geodes, and completing all the Boiler Room bundles repairs the minecarts.
Reaching Combat level 4 teaches the Warrior Ring. Crafting it takes Iron Bars, Coal and ten Frozen Tears. The ring sometimes gives a short combat boost after a monster is slain.
A Blobfish Fish Pond asks for two Frozen Tears before it can grow past its first fish. An Ice Pip pond asks for five before it grows from three fish to five. The Help Wanted board outside Pierre's General Store can request one in any season.
Donating the first Frozen Tear to Gunther adds it to the museum's mineral collection. Putting it in the Sewing Machine with Cloth makes the Dark Jacket. On its own in the spool, it works as a cyan dye. It also fits the blue dye pot at Emily and Haley's house.
The Community Center asks for Frozen Tear in these bundles.
