Here is a guide that goes over some of the best ways to obtain Golden Apples in the MMO.
How to farm Golden Apples in Throne and Liberty
There are two optimal ways of getting more Golden Apples in Throne and Liberty:
1) Farm them from Star Fruit Trees
You will be able to get Golden Apples by harvesting Star Fruit Trees. However, you will have to wait until the weather is rainy or use a Command Seal to be able to get this ingredient. You will not be able to obtain it otherwise.
Here are some of the best areas where you will find an abundance of Star Fruit Trees:
- Akidu Valley
- Manawastes
- Ruins of Turayne
- Shattered Temple
- Purelight Hill
- Greyclaw Forest
Each of these has a good concentration of high-level Star Trees which will provide you with a better chance of harvesting tier 2 ingredients. However, do keep in mind that as nodes are global, you will need to be the first to harvest them.
If another player gets there first, you will need to wait till it respawns again in a nearby location.
2) Purchase Golden Apples from the Season Pass
Another way of receiving Golden Apples in Throne and Liberty is to buy them from the Season Pass tab. You will need to access Zenu’s Star Shop and then look for the Cooking Ingredients Selection Basketfind the item.
The basket wil let you select a Tier 2 Cooking Ingredient, however, do keep in mind that you will only receive a Maximum of 50 of these Baskets per character. They each cost 20 Star Crystals and once you buy them you will be able to select Golden Apples from a list.
You will be able to get Star Crystals by completing the tiers on the Season Pass. Complete the daily and eternal missions there to earn points and then you will be able to automatically convert these points to Star Crystals at Zenu’s Star Shop.
