How to make 👺 Gnome — 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 + Water = PlantBoth Earth and Water come straight from your starting elements — craft Plant first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Plant + Wind = DandelionDandelion is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Fire + Wind = SmokeIf you already made Smoke in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Smoke + Water = FogOne quick craft for Fog: drag Smoke onto Water and keep the result for the chain.
- Dandelion + Fog = FairyFairy is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
- Earth + Fairy = GnomeFinal craft: combine Earth and Fairy to make Gnome. That's the whole path — 6 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Gnome
We rank every known recipe for Gnome by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Earth and Fairy — cost 1 and 6 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 6 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 Gnome
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Dwarf + Earth | 9 crafts |
| Dwarf + Water | 9 crafts |
| Fairy + Mud | 7 crafts |
| Fairy + Stone | 7 crafts |
| Clay + Garden | 7 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with Gnome?
Gnome is a busy ingredient. In the community dataset it shows up in dozens of downstream recipes: pair it with Match and you get Fire; pair it with Firewood and you get Fire; pair it with Burn and you get Fire; pair it with Fireweed and you get Fire; pair it with Prometheus and you get Fire; pair it with Tinder and you get Fire. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting Gnome
- Craft in one sitting. The 6-craft chain for Gnome 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 Dandelion) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Dwarf + Earth also produces Gnome if that route fits your inventory better.
