Where to Find Shroomer Saddle
Shroomer Saddle is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
The one line in the bill that looks like a chore funds itself. Shroomer drops 1 to 2 Mushroom on every kill without fail, so the 20 needed here come off the same Pal the saddle is for, and Lovander at 2 to 4 and Mycora at 2 to 3 are faster still if you have either nearby. Failing that, 274 Mushroom nodes sit on the map surface and a Caravan Shop sells them at 300 gold, putting the whole requirement at 6,000 if you would rather pay. The Illicit Trading Post expedition returns 10 to 20 a run, though at two hours and a Very Hard rating it is a background trickle rather than a way to fill the recipe today. Nothing else in the recipe is a hunt at level 39.
Using Shroomer Saddle Well
Rampant Spores is named above but not explained, and the half that matters is not the riding. Shroomer put on a Ranch produces Mushroom and Cavern Mushroom, and it is the only Pal in the game that makes either — 29 Pals produce something hands-off at a Ranch and Cavern Mushroom appears on exactly one of those lists. That matters because Cavern Mushroom has no other standing supply: 1,445 grotto nodes scattered underground, or 500 gold a piece from a Caravan Shop, and nothing grows it on a plantation. It is also the spine of the healing chain — 3 for Low Quality Recovery Meds, 5 for the plain ones, 10 for High Quality, 15 for Advanced, 30 for a single Revival Potion, 10 in a Nutrient Tonic, 5 per Pal Recovery Grenade, plus both level-3 fishing baits. Shroomer carries Farming 3, so it works the Ranch at full rate rather than sitting there as a token producer.
Do not unlock this expecting a fast mount. 1050 ride sprint puts Shroomer in an eleven-way tie among 77 ground mounts, and ten mounts that are both quicker and cheaper to reach are already behind you by the time this opens — Pyrin at 1300 from level 29, Dazemu and Blazehowl at 1200, Rayhound at 1150 from 30. What Shroomer actually holds over them is stamina: 220 against Pyrin's and Rayhound's 100 and Fenglope's 140, and before level 40 only Braloha and Moldron carry more, both of them slower at 1020 and 850. So the ride is for long unbroken crossings, not for outrunning anything, and the 2 Technology points at level 39 are really being spent on the Ranch half of the skill.
Shroomer Saddle — Shroomer's Gear
Shroomer Saddle is Shroomer's own gear — no other Pal can equip it, and Shroomer cannot be ridden or put to work in its geared role until you have this in your inventory.
Equipping it turns on Shroomer's partner skill, Rampant Spores.
Shroomer is Grass, which is what decides where it is worth taking — the gear does not change its typing, only what you can do with it.
