Food, Ingredients and Shining Spots guide

Complete Shining Spots locations, Food ingredients and where to get the recipes.

General tips

- You should always pick up a shining treasure, even though you've got it before, because many of the shining spots have different items each time you pick it up. Moreover, some recipes require same ingredients (you need more than one of each).

- If you have trouble finding the location, look it up at the map below.


- The shining spots might be hard to make out at some location, but there's a sound when you walk into it so pay attention to that sound.

- You can get the food from talking to a specific NPC, then choose to give them the ingredients they need, then they'll give you the dish and also the recipe for making that dish. If you give that recipe to a chef in any of the village, it'll be added to the menu and after that you can buy the dish anytime you want. Note that unless you got all the ingredients one NPC need, they'll not talk about it at all.

- If you do have the needed ingredients but a NPC still doesn't give you the dish, or talk about it, comeback later after clearing the dungeon/story arc that happened near the town.

- You shouldn't sell any green text materials because they're food ingredients. After you get all the recipes, you can sell them.

- The food can be eaten in the menu only, it'll be effective in the next 1 battle. After that, the effect of the food wears out.

[RPG Gamer Man]

aha..as i figured. The bug appears to mistaken one of the items you pick up as not. I got all the items again and it registered and i got the recipe.

[RPG Gamer Man]

@Treetard..I got the same bug. Maybe it has to do with how many ingredients you have to make that recipe?

[Treemendous]

I have all the ingredients for Fried Dumpling Eggplant, but it won't trigger? I'm at the "point of no return" and have tried just about everything so I'm not sure if it's just a bug or what?

[ShishKabobJerry]

Can we sell the the items which aren't ingredients, but are shiny spot items?

[XT]

@123: Just go NW from Gatherington. I think the description here is a bit confusing.

[asdfchlwnsgy1236]

No problem.
Oh, and I forgot to say this before.
Thanks for the guide.
Probably saved me 4 hours of visiting all places and NPCs trying to look for the last 5 ingredients and 2 recipes....

[707]

thanks for letting me know

[707]

oh sorry, I'll edit them now

[asdfchlwnsgy1236]

"Folorn Girl" -> "Forlorn Girl"
"Snow-tanted Worker" -> "Snow-tanned Worker"

Just typos, but they bother me, haha..

[123]

5000% sure that maple potato does not exist.
