Oasis



The Oasis is a naturally spawning mini-biome that can be found on the Surface layer of the Desert biome. It consists of a sizable body of water surrounded by multiple palm trees and shrubbery such as mini cacti, ferns, and flowers. Cattail plants grow in the lake and there are often multiple Dragonflies flying around and above the surface of the water.

The water of the Oasis is a turquoise color, just like that of regular surface Desert water. An Oasis Water Fountain can be purchased in order to replicate this water color at a location of choice.

As a mini-biome, the Oasis is not considered to be a separate biome from the Desert as far as most game mechanics are concerned: The Oasis counts as a Desert in terms of an NPC's preferred biome, the Oasis will spawn Desert-exclusive critters and enemies, and fishing in an Oasis will yield the same results as fishing in a Desert. Thus, it is possible to create an artificial Oasis by placing water in the surface layer of a Desert biome.

Tips

 * Fishing in the Oasis biome will sometimes drop Oysters, which once opened will produce a Shucked Oyster, which gives the player the Well Fed buff for 10 minutes. Oysters will also rarely give Pearls, which are the main materials for making various Luck Potions.
 * A very useful item gained from fishing up Oasis or Mirage Crates is the Magic Conch, which allows the player to teleport to the Ocean biome in similar fashion to the Magic Mirror.
