We’ve broken things down by item type and included where you can find them, key notes about them, and what they’re used for.
Spiritfarer Item List
Seeds
You’ll use seeds almost more than any other item in Spiritfarer, especially early on.
Most seeds are available for purchase at a branch of Theodore’s Raccoon Inc. stores. But you’ll randomly find some seeds in crates on the sea or possibly for sale in Francis’ floating emporium.
Speaking of Francis, he’s the only way to get Mystery Seeds, which always sprout into Tchotchke, items you’ll sell back to him for a good profit.
One other very special case is the Fireglow Seed. It’s the only way to get Fireglow, and it’s tied to an event.
You’ll need Gustav on board. Then, navigate to the dark spots on the map, and you’ll trigger an event similar to the Jellyfish one with Gwen. Plant the seeds, and there you go.
Seeds in Hummingberg
Seeds in Bottom Line Corp.
The store in Bottom Line Corp. is pretty much the same as the Hummingberg store, with just one difference. You can buy Seed Samplers here, which act as grab bags with random seeds.
Seeds in Furogawa
Furogawa is probably where you’ll find your first fruit seeds. You’ll need an Orchard for those, which you’ll need Alice on board for.
Seeds in Hikarishima Lighthouse
Hikarishima Lighthouse is closest to the Furogawa store, but you won’t gain access to it until obtaining the Bounce ability from Oxbury. That’s a later-game upgrade that requires the rock breaker addition to the ship.
Seeds in Nordweiler
Nordweiler is the first big island you’ll reach on the other side of the ice after outfitting your ship with the ice breaker, and it’s got some new seed types in store.
The Sunflower Seed is a must-have because it’s your base for making Fried Chicken and other fried foods.
Seeds in Loneberg
Loneberg’s a tiny place, but you can pick up Cotton Seeds to grow in the Field here. And you should, because later upgrades and buildings need Cotton fabric.
Seeds in Oxbury
Seeds in Edgeborough Lane
Edgeborough Lane’s store only has the Olive Seed for the Garden and the Sugar Cane for the field. Run them through the Crusher to get Olive Oil and Sugar respectively.
Seeds in Greymist Peaks
Cloth Items
Cloth and the materials to weave it are another set of items you’ll quickly get familiar with.
The Loom used to make threads and fabrics is one of the ship’s first new facilities, but you’ll be using it all the way through the game, especially when it’s time to get Silk.
Important Ingredients
You’ll need certain key food ingredients for some of the dishes you can’t make with your ship’s facilities, like milk, eggs, and pork. Some of these are crucial to advancing passenger quests.
How to Get Fat in Spiritfarer
Fat falls under the crucial category, and you’ll need the Crusher to process certain ingredient items into fats. Note that even if you obtain the ship upgrade that lets you build the Crusher, you won’t get the materials for it until after meeting Bruce and Mickey.
Atul’s Fried Chicken quest will just have to wait a while.
Rocks
The Rocks category encompasses a broad array of items, including powders and things like Quartz.
Finding Marble in Spiritfarer is another special case. You can only get it in the Kalstein Mines, but you can’t get there until you’ve learned Double Jump, Glide, and Zip Line.
The first two you’ll get as the story takes its course. If you’re stuck on getting Zip Line, head to the Shrine on Nordweiler, and exchange your Obols for the ability.
Metals
Metals include the ores you mine, the ingots you turn ore into, and the various sheets of metal you can use ingots for. These, too, are vital for later upgrades, but the stronger ores are tied to events triggered by Summer.
You’ll spot different dragons at specific map points, and the nodes for these ores are only available on their respective dragons.
Glass is technically counted under Gems, but for the sake of simplicity, we’re including it with other Foundry-centric items.
Sheet Metals
Refine Ingots at the Smithy to get Sheet Metal items. The Smithy is another later-game upgrade you won’t get until sometime after meeting Bruce and Mickey.
Gems
There aren’t many actual Gems in Spiritfarer, but you’ll need them for an early quest involving Summer. Some other key items get lumped under this category as well.
Each of the Gem types usable for The Diffracted Cabinet quest can be found in specific locations. But you can earn some of them through completing Francis’ errands — just speak to him every time he shows up to see if any new ones unlock — and may rarely find them in crates.
Wood
Wood is another essential item category used for most building projects and big upgrades.
You’ll harvest it from various islands as logs, then process it through the Sawmill to obtain planks. Trees re-grow in a few days’ time, so you’ll never be without for long.
Other Spiritfarer Items
There are a few other key Spiritfarer items worth mentioning.
Woodblock Print and Figurine
For Gustav’s onboarding process, you’ll need to buy a Woodblock Print from Furogawa’s Raccoon Inc — except Theodore’s already sold it.
Gustav gives you a Figurine instead, which you need to take to Susan’s Museum at -150/150. Swap it for the Woodblock, and give that to Gustav.
Glue and Paper
These basic items are tied in with Stanley’s story arc, and you can’t make them until you’re asked to. For Household Glue, cook an Old Shoe (fish it out of the ocean or buy from Francis) and Coal.
To make Household Paper, cook the Household Glue with Sawdust.
Spiritfarer’s Spirit Flowers
The Spirit Flowers are what you get after releasing a spirit. You can see them adorning each spirit, and they act as a sort of last farewell or thank you. Find them in the departed spirit’s room after you leave the Everdoor.
