Cacao
Cacao opens the legendary special tier — 110 Sheckles base on pod harvests makes cooking-event and chocolate lines feel like factory plots where every kg funds truffle-adjacent trades.
Base value
Cacao base value is 110 Sheckles. A 6 kg pod sells for 110 × 36 = 3,960 Sheckles raw. At 14 kg you reach 110 × 196 = 21,560 Sheckles before mutations — where Golden (×20) and Burnt (×12) during heat processing weather turn pods into legendary trade units.
Mutations & weather
Legendary special pods love Golden (×20) and Ember (×25) during heat waves — thematic for chocolate processing. Shroomified (×fungal) during mushroom events stacks on cacao beside truffle routes.
Farming loop
Hold cacao for heat-wave and Golden growth windows. Mushroom-event fog adds Shroomified when spore weather overlaps pod maturity — skip tornado mid-grow on legendary timers.
Cacao strategy
Legendary Special Crop Entry
Cacao behaves like industrial capital: 110 base, slow pods, high trade scrutiny. Set calculator sell floors before planting — legendary opportunity cost is real.
Pod harvests display weight clearly — post Golden or Ember tags with kg for credible chocolate-category listings.
Cooking and Truffle Links
Cacao sits beside cacao-pod variants and cooking-event lines. Players running kitchen events dedicate plots to cacao for cross-event synergy with truffle and vanilla-bean routes.
Push 13 kg before env spectacle — heavy clean pods move faster than lightweight multi-tag specimens in pragmatic trade chat.
