How to get Penny Bun in Enshrouded Pact of the Flame Update
When Enshrouded’s Pact of the Flame Update arrived, many Flameborn discovered that the humble red mushroom they once knew had transformed into something called a Penny Bun. This intriguing new name brings a fresh twist to foraging, cooking, and even farming.
What Is a Penny Bun
A Penny Bun is essentially the updated version of the red mushroom you’ve likely stumbled upon in your Enshrouded travels. It’s named after a real-world mushroom beloved by foragers everywhere, but in the game, it shines with extra purpose. When eaten raw, a Penny Bun boosts your Intelligence for a short time. Even better, you can cook it into potent meals that offer stronger buffs. If you’re looking to craft hearty recipes or simply snack on the go, the Penny Bun is your new best friend.
Where to Find Penny Buns
Your main hunting ground for Penny Buns is the lush Springlands biome. Keep an eye out for their bright red caps that pop against the green grass. They’re scattered in grassy patches, often near trees or streams, just begging to be plucked. If you’ve already roamed these fields, you might remember picking up red mushrooms before; those are now Penny Buns. Their vibrant color makes them easy to spot, so get ready to fill your pouch with these brain-boosting treats.
Recipes and Effects
Raw Penny Buns grant a modest +1 Intelligence bonus for fifteen minutes, but tossing one over a campfire transforms it into a Grilled Penny Bun that doubles this effect for a longer duration. If you want to get fancy, combine Penny Buns with other ingredients at an Oven or Cooking Station to create dishes like Meat Wraps or Mushroom Omelets. These meals pack greater stat buffs, from higher Constitution to instant health restoration.
How to Farm Penny Buns
For those with more domestic ambitions, farming Penny Buns is a handy way to keep a steady supply on hand. Summon the Farmer NPC to your homestead, then create Seedbeds to convert your Penny Buns into seeds. You’ll need Farm Soil, which you can craft by combining Dirt and Bone Meal. Once the seeds are ready, plant them in your carefully prepared soil and remember to water them regularly. After a bit of time, your Penny Buns will sprout up in tidy rows, offering you a constant harvest for all your recipes and stat-boosting needs.
Finding Penny Buns in Enshrouded’s Pact of the Flame Update adds a flavorful layer of exploration, cooking, and farming to your journey. From foraging in the Springlands to whipping up mouthwatering meals, these mushrooms can truly elevate your experience. So gather your supplies, head out into the green wilds, and uncover the power of the Penny Bun, one bright red cap at a time.
