Gilded Ginger

"Ever hear of gilded ginger? It’s a mythical veggie that is said to be the favorite food of the equally mythical gold slime. But some say that neither of them actually exist!"

- Ogden mentioning the Gold Slime and the Gilded Ginger from his Starmail.

The Gilded Ginger is a very rare Veggie that is found exclusively in The Glass Desert, though only one will appear a day. It is the favored food of Gold Slimes and can be used on a Gordo Snare to attract a Gold Gordo.

The Gilded Ginger, as well as the Kookadoba fruit, are unique among Food items in that they cannot be grown in a garden.

Slimepedia Entry
About:

''Curiously, gilded ginger cannot be replicated in a garden as its unusual biological properties prohibit it. However, there is perhaps another use for it...''

On the Ranch:

''Said to be the holy grail of veggies, gilded ginger can very rarely be found growing in the Glass Desert. It is the only known food that a gold slime will eat, and the few that have seen it claim that doing so will greatly reward the lucky rancher.''

Tips

 * Only one Gilded Ginger grows in the Glass Desert at any given time, the location of which changes daily.
 * A Gilded Ginger spawns at 5:00am every day, and if the previous day's Ginger wasn't collected it will uproot automatically.
 * A gilded ginger will never spawn in a location near Beatrix, and spawns fully mature.
 * Feeding a Gold Slime a Gilded Ginger always produces five Gold Plorts. Golden Sureshot will not work on a Gold Slime if fed a Gilded Ginger
 * A Gilded Ginger used on a Novice and Advanced Gordo Snare does not guarantee a Gold Gordo; they have the same probability as other Foods to attract other Gordos instead. For best results, use a Master Gordo Snare.
 * Gilded Gingers spawn in multiple confirmed locations; to maximise your harvest of Gilded Gingers, set up a series of teleporters near spawn locations or use teleporters to get to harder to reach places with Ginger locations (such as behind the Mosaic Gordo). Setting up a clear route and starting the hunt at midnight will help increase your chances of finding that day's Ginger.

Changelog

 * 1.1.0 - Fixed bug where the hat trick achievement was not awarded when gilded ginger was eaten by a gold slime.
 * 1.0.1 - Added.

Trivia
''Gilded ginger can very rarely be found growing in the Glass Desert. It can be used to gain additional gold plorts from a gold slime in the wild or used on [REDACTED].''
 * Before its release, the roadmap entry for the Gilded Ginger stated:
 * The Gilded Ginger's name may be a reference to the Ginger Gold apple variety, which are generally yellow in coloration. The plant itself is based on the ginger plant and root.
