How to make 💑 Date — step by step
The cheapest known path. Craft each step in order — every ingredient is either a basic element or something you make earlier in this list.
- Earth + Wind = DustBoth Earth and Wind come straight from your starting elements — craft Dust first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Dust + Wind = SandstormSandstorm is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Sandstorm + Water = OasisIf you already made Oasis in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Earth + Water = PlantOne quick craft for Plant: drag Earth onto Water and keep the result for the chain.
- Oasis + Plant = DateFinal craft: combine Oasis and Plant to make Date. That's the whole path — 5 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Date
We rank every known recipe for Date by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Oasis and Plant — cost 4 and 2 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 5 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.
Alternative combinations for Date
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Oasis + Tree | 5 crafts |
| Desert + Wine | 5 crafts |
| Oasis + Pollen | 5 crafts |
| Oasis + Seed | 5 crafts |
| Oasis + Wine | 5 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with Date?
Date is a busy ingredient. In the community dataset it shows up in dozens of downstream recipes: pair it with Pangaea and you get Earth; pair it with Globe and you get Earth; pair it with Fire Flower and you get Fire; pair it with Burn and you get Fire; pair it with Burning Bush and you get Fire; pair it with Gasoline and you get Fire. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting Date
- Craft in one sitting. The 5-craft chain for Date takes under two minutes once you know the route — the list above is already in dependency order, so just go top to bottom.
- Reuse your inventory. If you've played before you probably own the early intermediates (like Sandstorm) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Oasis + Tree also produces Date if that route fits your inventory better.
