Mystic Syrup is the sap of the Mystic Tree, a rare tree that the farmer has to plant by hand. A Tapper on a mature Mystic Tree fills with a jar about once a week. It is by far the most valuable tree sap, worth five times a jar of Maple Syrup. Its uses are just as special: it goes into the Treasure Totem and the Blue Grass Starter, and the Raccoon's wife trades Fairy Dust for it. Eating a jar restores a huge amount of energy. As a gift it leaves most villagers indifferent, and Haley dislikes it.


Making

Every jar starts with a tree the farmer planted. Once the tree is fully grown, a regular Tapper collects a jar of Mystic Syrup every seven days. A Heavy Tapper cuts that to three days.

Like the other syrups, it needs no ingredient. The Tapper simply stays on the tree and refills.

These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Prices

Mystic Syrup carries the Artisan Goods label in the menu, but its price follows the Tapper profession instead of Artisan. Tapper, a profession from the Foraging skill, raises the price by a quarter. Over a season of weekly jars, that adds about 1,000g per tree.

At one jar a week, a single Tapper earns well over 100g a day from a Mystic Tree. A Heavy Tapper more than doubles that rate. Maple, Oak and Pine Trees come nowhere near those figures, so a grove of Mystic Trees makes a strong passive income in the late game.

Uses

The Treasure Totem is the best-known use. Its recipe comes with Foraging Mastery, and crafting it takes Hardwood, Moss and one Mystic Syrup. Using the totem on diggable ground calls up a ring of spots to dig for treasure.

Mr. Qi sells the Blue Grass Starter recipe in his Walnut Room for Qi Gems. Each starter needs Fiber, Moss and one Mystic Syrup, and it plants a clump of blue grass on the farm.

After the sixth request at the Giant Stump, the Raccoon's wife trades one Fairy Dust for each Mystic Syrup. Fairy Dust instantly finishes the current product in a Keg, Furnace or similar machine, so a jar of syrup can save days of waiting. On a Cask, Fairy Dust pushes the contents up one quality step at once instead.

Mystic Syrup also serves as a blue dye in the pots at 2 Willow Lane and as a cyan dye in the Sewing Machine.

Almost every villager feels neutral about Mystic Syrup, from Abigail and Linus to Robin and the Wizard. Haley is the one villager who dislikes it.
