Island Trader Magma Cap (1)
Sell Price 240g

Pineapple Seeds have no price in coin. The Island Trader on Ginger Island hands a packet over for a single Magma Cap, a mushroom picked out of the Volcano Dungeon, and that is the whole price. A fortnight after sowing the plant gives its first Pineapple, and it then sets another every week without being replanted. On island soil it never stops for a season, which is the reason that plot usually ends up filled with pineapple and nothing else. The fruit is also one of the best things a Keg can be given, since Pineapple Wine sits near the top of the fruit wines, behind only Starfruit and Ancient Fruit.


Growing

Fourteen days pass before the first fruit, and the plant then sets another every seven days and stays in the ground. Nothing is replanted, so the long opening wait is paid once and never again.

Where the row goes decides how long it runs. On the Ginger Island farm the plant treats every season alike and keeps producing indefinitely, which is what makes the crop worth the climb. Planted on the valley farm it behaves as a Summer crop and dies when Fall arrives, so the fourteen days have to fit inside the season and only two pickings are possible.

The Greenhouse lifts that limit too, but island ground is the better home. The seed is already on the island, the soil is already cleared, and a row there needs no journey back and forth from town.

Quality fertiliser pays unusually well on a plant picked again and again, because each weekly fruit is graded on its own. A fertilised island row slowly fills a chest with gold and iridium fruit, and graded fruit is where the wine money actually comes from.

Buying

None of this works until the trader is in place. Golden Walnuts handed to the parrots buy the Island Farmhouse, and further walnuts paid at the clearing north of the dock bring the trader herself in. She keeps no till, so everything on her mat is paid for in goods.

One Magma Cap buys one packet. The caps are foraged in the Volcano Dungeon, where they grow near the magma, so a single climb usually comes back with enough seed for a whole bed. That makes the crop effectively free to anyone already running the volcano for Cinder Shards.

The dungeon pays twice over, because Hot Heads and Tiger Slimes drop the seed outright when they are killed. Golden Coconuts cracked open give packets as well, and Mixed Seeds sown in island soil sometimes come up as pineapple rather than anything else on their list.

A Seed Maker takes a picked Pineapple and gives one to three packets back, which closes the loop. After the first harvest no further climbing is needed for seed.

Uses

A Keg turns the fruit into Pineapple Wine, and that is where nearly all of the value sits. Ageing the bottle in a Cask lifts it again, and an iridium bottle finished by a farmer with the Artisan profession is among the highest figures any cellar returns. A Preserves Jar makes jam instead, done in a fraction of the time and worth a fraction of the money, which suits a farm short of kegs rather than short of patience.

Gus sells the Tropical Curry recipe at the island resort, and the pot takes a Pineapple with a Coconut and a Hot Pepper. The foraging boost it gives is worth carrying back into the volcano on the next climb.

The Island Trader buys as well as sells. On Tuesdays she will take a single Pineapple in exchange for a Palm Wall Ornament, which is the cheapest decoration anywhere on the island.

The Seed Maker runs the other way, turning a picked fruit back into packets.

Seed is unwelcome as a present wherever it is offered, so the fruit or a bottle of its wine is what goes into the box.

Notes

Fill the island plot with pineapple before anything else goes in. The crop ignores seasons there, so one sowing keeps working while the valley farm lies under snow.

Carry every spare Magma Cap out of a volcano run. They cost nothing extra to pick up, and each one is another plant.

Put the fruit through kegs rather than the shipping bin. Raw pineapple sells well for a crop, and the wine is worth several times as much for the price of a fortnight's waiting.
