Why this is the cheapest path to Pollen
We rank every known recipe for Pollen by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Dust and Plant — cost 2 and 2 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 3 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 Pollen
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Dust + Flower | 5 crafts |
| Bee + Dust | 7 crafts |
| Flower + Rain | 5 crafts |
| Plant + Sneeze | 7 crafts |
| Allergy + Leaf | 6 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with Pollen?
Pollen is a busy ingredient. In the community dataset it shows up in dozens of downstream recipes: pair it with Flint and you get Fire; pair it with Aeolus and you get Wind; pair it with Tidal Power and you get Wind; pair it with Turbine and you get Wind; pair it with Dry and you get Dust; pair it with Fairy and you get Dust. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting Pollen
- Craft in one sitting. The 3-craft chain for Pollen 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 Plant) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Dust + Flower also produces Pollen if that route fits your inventory better.
