Goldfish (item)


 * This article is about the item. For the non-enemy Goldfish character, see Goldfish (NPC). For the enemy, see Corrupt Goldfish.

The Goldfish is an item that can be eaten to restore 20 health. It is also used as a crafting material for a few items. It is dropped from the Goldfish NPC upon death.

Tips

 * An efficient method of farming Goldfish is to find a water body where the Goldfish character spawns, and corrupt one of them using Vile Powder. This will turn it into a Corrupt Goldfish that will kill further spawned Goldfish, leaving behind the Goldfish item for the player to pick up.
 * Another method is to find a Goldfish Statue in your world and rig it up to some wire and a switch to spawn many Goldfish with an extremely shallow pool of lava for them to fall into so they die, leaving the Goldfish drop itself unharmed.
 * Before 1.2, selling Goldfish was a good way to make money fast, as each 99-character stack of Goldfish sold for 1 gold and 98 silver coins. As of 1.2 A stack of 99-goldfish now sells for 99-silver coins. Consider crafting into Fish Bowls for more profit.

Trivia

 * While not directly utilizing the trademarked phrase, the Goldfish's tooltip is a reference to the snack food Goldfish ("the snack that smiles back").
 * The Fishbowl has two yellow lines that resemble goldfish.

History

 * Stack limit was raised from 99 to 999.
 * Goldfish only sell for "No value" now, instead of
