While most items are relatively straightforward to acquire, Candleberries present a significant challenge due to their increasing requirements at each stage. Although some Candleberries can be obtained through the Gathering Candleberries event as rewards, securing enough remains a daunting task.

To optimize your Candleberry gathering, venture to the Cold Snap event locations, diligently searching for bright red bushes, which are indicative of nearby Candleberries. Staying vigilant can significantly enhance your resource collection.

Additionally, look for baskets scattered across the map. These often contain natural items, including stacks of Candleberries, much like those found in the Lush Bloom event. As a bonus, you’ll also gather a portion of the Mushrooms required for the final stage while scouting these locations.

For players aiming to efficiently gather items for stages three to five, consider farming common locker areas. Notable spots include the Arrival Building and Departure Building in Spaceport, as well as a small room on the first floor of the Hospital in Buried City. However, be aware that these efforts may still leave you hampered by the elusive Candleberries!
