Gel

Gel is a common crafting material dropped by most slimes and Slimed Zombies. Gel is vital due to it being an ingredient in Torches, and is used regularly from the beginning stages all the way through to endgame scenarios. It is also used as ammunition for the Flamethrower and the Elf Melter, and can therefore be stored in the player's inventory ammo slots.

Tips

 * Gel can be produced by players using Slime Statues, Wire, a Timer, and Lava or Traps.
 * While nearly worthless on its own, gel can be monetized much more effectively (about   per 1000) with a Solidifier and 1 piece of wood for each six gel, by making Slime Candelabras. See the Making Money guide for full details.

Trivia

 * Black Slimes do not drop their own color of Gel, unlike many other slimes.
 * The "tasty" part in its tooltip may be a reference to the fact that is often used in different foods.
 * Umbrella Slimes are the only source of Gel that is not guaranteed to drop it all the time, having only a 97.78% chance of dropping gel instead of a 100% chance. However, they are still high enough to successfully farm Gel.
