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 can also be used to craft the Bowl of Soup, a buff potion; the Fish Bowl, a Vanity item; and the Neptune's Shell, a buff accessory. It is dropped from the Goldfish character 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. Or you can find a Goldfish Statue in your world and rig it up to some wire and a switch and spawn Goldfish like mad with a extremely shallow pool of lava for them to fall into so they die but the Goldfish drop is not burned. If you sell all the goldfish it is a good way to get money fast. One stack of Goldfish (99) sells for 1 gold coin and 98 silver coins.
 * Alternatively, by wiring a few Fish Statues and one Piranha Statue to a timer, the same effect can be achieved.
 * By combining two Goldfish and one Bottled Water at a workbench, you can create the Fish Bowl, which sells for 20 silver. This means 1 gold coin for every 10 goldfish.
 * It says that you get potion sickness from consuming fish even if fish isn't a potion as such, This is to stop you from healing lots of times, causing you to not be killed.

Trivia

 * While not directly utilizing the trademarked phrase, the Goldfish's tooltip is a reference to the snack food Goldfish.
