How to Get Anniversary Cake in Icarus Update

     To celebrate three years of Icarus, the developers have introduced a new feature—anniversary cakes! These cakes aren't just a fun addition; they also provide substantial buffs to health, stamina, and experience gain. Let’s explore how you can craft these delightful treats and enhance your adventures in Icarus.

 

 

 

Anniversary Cake

 

     The anniversary cakes come in three variations: Chocolate, Coconut, and Carrot. Each offers its own unique set of buffs and requires specific ingredients to craft. These cakes can be crafted at the Electric Stove and placed as deployable items for sharing. With slices that provide temporary boosts to health, stamina, and other attributes, they are both decorative and functional.

 

 

 

Collecting Ingredients

 

     To bake any of the cakes, you will need a core set of ingredients:

 

     - Milk: Gathered from cows using milk pails or bottles.

 

 

     - Eggs: Collected from chickens.

 

     - Sugar Cubes: Produced from sugarcane through processing.

 

     - Flour: Created by grinding wheat.

 

     - Seed Oil: Extracted from seeds in a material processor.

 

     - Water: Easily sourced from any water source.

 

 

     Each cake also requires unique ingredients:

 

     - Chocolate Cake: Cocoa beans, which can be grown or collected from specific locations.

 

     - Coconut Cake: Mature coconuts harvested from palm trees in desert regions.

 

     - Carrot Cake: Fresh carrots grown or collected from farm plots.

 

 

 

Crafting the Cakes

 

     Once you have all the ingredients, head to the Electric Stove in your base. Scroll to the recipes section to find the three cakes. Each recipe will indicate the exact quantities of ingredients needed. Ensure you have enough storage space for the finished cakes, as they do not spoil when left uncut.

 

 

 

Deploying and Sharing the Cake

 

     After crafting, place the cake on a table or any flat surface in your base. Each cake can be divided into eight slices, which can be picked up individually. Slices offer significant buffs when consumed, such as:

 

     - Increased maximum health and stamina.

 

     - Enhanced stamina regeneration.

 

     - Boosted experience gain.

 

     Slices have a limited shelf life, so consume them within their spoil timer.

 

 

 

 

 

Buff Comparison

 

     Each cake offers unique benefits:

 

     - Chocolate Cake: Provides the most significant health and stamina boosts, along with exceptional regeneration rates.

 

 

     - Coconut Cake: Great for crafting and farming activities with reduced stamina consumption.

 

     - Carrot Cake: Ideal for ranged combat with bonuses to projectile damage and reload speed.

 

 

Expanding Your Farm

 

     If you’re missing some ingredients, consider setting up a farm. Chickens and cows are essential for eggs and milk. Plant sugarcane, wheat, carrots, and cocoa beans in farm plots to ensure a steady supply. Use irrigation systems to keep your crops healthy.

 

     The anniversary cakes are a delightful addition to Icarus, blending utility with celebration. By gathering the necessary ingredients and crafting them in your Electric Stove, you can enjoy a range of buffs that enhance your gameplay. Whether you’re exploring, farming, or fighting, these cakes offer something for everyone. Celebrate three years of Icarus with a slice - or eight!
