Mixed Tough Smoothie Recipe and How to Farm Ingredients
1	Ingredient 1: Tough Mango, farmed in Mango Rush for 10 Rupees per run.
2	Ingredient 2: Bubble Kelp, farmed freely in Jabul Waters.

The Mixed Tough Smoothie is sold for 50 Rupees using Tough Mango and Bubble Kelp as ingredients. There are other recipes that result in Mixed Tough Smoothie, but this is the most profitable one.

Sell Mixed Tough Smoothies for 100 Rupees/Min

Smoothies Per Run	Smoothies Selling Price	Entry + Crafting Fee	Profit
8 Mixed Tough Smoothies	400 Rupees	90 Rupees	310 Rupees

This assumes either a Perfect Vibrant Clear or a Near Perfect Ultimate Clear in Mango Rush.

It takes roughly 5 minutes and costs nothing to obtain 40 Bubble Kelp in Jabul Waters. We recommend having the Survey Binoculars, Zora Scale, and Zora Flippers equipped while farming for the Bubble Kelp.

At a cost of 10 Rupees per run, it takes about a minute to clear a Vibrant Course of Mango Rush. After 5 minutes and 5 perfect runs, you should have 40 Tough Mangoes.

With teleporting, dialogue, and RNG taken into consideration, players can expect to earn 1,550 Rupees every ~12-15 minutes!

Mango Rush rewards a large amount of Tough Mangoes that can be sold for 8 Rupees each. Higher difficulties reward more Tough Mangoes, and perfect clears further increases the items gained.

Perfect Clears at Ultimate Difficulty nets a gain of 86 Rupees per run. It is recommended to run the Ultimate Difficulty to obtain the most amount of Rupees per individual run.

Rupees Obtained Per Second

	Clear Time	Rupee/sec (Near Perfect)	Rupee/sec (Perfect)
Standard	45 sec	~0.31 RP/s	~0.67 RP/s
Vibrant	45 sec	~0.67 RP/s	~1.20 RP/s
Ultimate	45 sec	~1.20 RP/s	~1.91 RP/s

Clearing Ultimate Difficulty is the most efficient stage to farm Rupees. Each run translates to roughly 1.91 rupees per second with an identical clear time from the previous difficulties.

Crafting and Selling Tough Smoothies is Not Advised

Smoothies Per Run	Smoothies Selling Price	Entry + Crafting Fee	Profit
4 Tough Smoothies	200 Rupees	50 Rupees	150 Rupees

This assumes either a Perfect Vibrant Clear or a Near Perfect Ultimate Clear in Mango Rush.

While crafting 4 Tough Smoothies nets a profit of 150 Rupees per run, farming Bubble Kelp for free and selling Mixed Tough Smoothies instead more than doubles the profit earned.

How to Farm Rupees

Sell Excess Ingredients

It is not recommended to hoard ingredients and is advised to sell surplus. Generally, having about 15-20 of each ingredient in stock is plenty, and anything in excess may be sold for Rupees.

Items are Maxed at 99

Any item obtained caps at 99, and any item obtained in excess will be lost. It is recommended to utilize these items by selling them or turning them into Smoothies to avoid unwanted losses.

Equip the Survey Scope or Survey Binoculars

The Survey Scope or Survey Binoculars grant the Material Appearance Rate Up passive which increases the likelihood of obtaining ingredients. Equip a Survey accessory to ease the farming for ingredients to sell.

List of All Accessories

Do Not Sell Golden Eggs

Golden Eggs are the sole exception, as this ingredient is rare and limited in quantity. It is recommended to craft smoothies with Golden Egg instead to better utilize the item.

Golden Egg Locations and How to Get

Defeat Enemies in the Game

Rupees can mostly be acquired by defeating enemies you find along your journey. If you plan to farm rupees, make sure you know a location where enemies usually spawn and beat them in battle to acquire the rewarded rupees.

The Crow Echo can steal Rupees from enemies and the Goldfinch Automaton can knock Rupees out of enemies it hits. Defeat enemies with the Crow and Goldfinch to obtain an extra sum of Rupees when adventuring.

Cut Grass and Break Pots

Rupees can be obtained from spinning and cutting grass and breaking pots. Cutting grass and destroying pots and objects as you come across them in your playthrough will eventually accumulate to a fortune by the end.
