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 early-game item both used as a crafting material for a few items. It is obtained by using the Bug Net on the Goldfish NPC.

It could previously be used as a weak recovery potion (restoring 20 health), which the tooltip is a remnant of. As of 1.2, using it as a consumable will simply free the Goldfish.

Tips

 * Consider crafting into Fish Bowls for profit.
 * On the console version, the goldfish NPC drops the goldfish item upon death (as previously on the PC version). The item can be sold for, allowing an early-game profit for about  and  per stack of 99 goldfish if the player happens to find a Fish Statue and rig it up for farming (see Statues for details).

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").

History

 * Stack limit was raised from 99 to 999.
 * Goldfish only sell for "No value" now, instead of
 * No longer dropped by kill, but only by use of Bug Net.
 * Now releasable rather than edible, apparently.
