Windrose Crab Soup: The Cooking Guide

Windrose Windrose Crab Soup Guide

To prepare a fresh bowl of crab soup, you will need to harvest two primary resources along the shorelines.

Crab Shells: Head down to the island beaches or the Coastal Jungle areas. For a quick and safe harvest, focus on the small red crabs scurrying along the sand. It is best to avoid the highly aggressive Thorn Fiddlers until you have better gear, as the smaller crabs drop shells frequently enough on their own.
Tomatoes: While you can find wild tomatoes growing scattered across the world, wild foraging can be time-consuming. A much more efficient approach is to collect Tomato Seeds during your travels and plant them in fertile soil at your base, establishing a steady, passive supply of fresh produce.

Step 2: Set Up Your Cooking Fire

You do not need an advanced kitchen or high-tier upgrades like the Cookware Shelf to make this recipe. A basic starting setup is fully sufficient.

Required Station: Level 1 Cooking Fire.
Crafting Materials: You can build this station anywhere using just 3 Stone and 3 Wood.

Once your cooking fire is lit, simply interact with it and combine your ingredients to craft the meal..

Ingredient	Miserable Location	Required Effort
Crab Shell	Beaches or coastal jungle areas.	Spend a few minutes patrolling the shoreline.
Tomatoes	Growing out in the world or fertile base soil.	Avoid getting murdered while picking them.
