#Losing my mind looking for Ginger

I am absolutely losing it looking for ginger, now my question is, does the foraging component pick up if ginger is available on that day? I’ve left getting the components for now since I’ll only need them for that crafting achievement but if it shows a day ginger is available I’ll go get it now 😂

Any other tips are greatly appreciated, I’ve been going from floor 15 in the water mine to the bottom using ropes for two in game months and not found a single piece, why is it so rare? 🥲
(I’m also wearing the blessed opal ring)

For the Extra Stamina + 100 buff, Pickled Ginseng (Mason Jar)

For easy stamina recovery, get a Chef Knife and make Sashimi (120 energy) then plant rice in the fall to do Sushi which is twice as much stamina. (225 energy) . The only other major upgrade from that is Cauliflower Casserole (Skillet) with Cauliflower, Potato and Flour for 395 stamina.

Alternatively, I like making Bug Jerky (any insect + Grill) and Candied Tree Seed via Crafting (buy tons of seeds from the Tree Planting festival)

One other thing to note: the blessed opal ring as far as I know only affects drop rates of things you personally smash.

So, if you mine a rock, chance of geodes. If you clear trash, chance of coffers - etc.
It does not affect the spawn rate of things that appear on the map.

But yeah, I'm on my 3rd save because I'm crazy, and I've cleared the caverns 1-40 x4 on all of them. Repeat clears for ore/other resources many times.

I'd say I've seen on average 1 ginger every 50 cavern levels?

Of course, there's the time I saw 3 ginger on one floor because why not. But usually I forget it even exists until I see one.

Both of the ginger I've found were on floor 1 of the water mines. Idk if it's more likely to spawn on certain floors or not, but checking each of the odd numbered floors via the lift/elevator might potentially help? Either way, I hope you find some soon!

I did finally find it! Floor 15 of the water mine but my god, for a second, I genuinely thought the folks dressed in white were gonna come & put me in a straight jacket 🥲

Thank you all for reassuring me it wasn’t jus me and my terrible RNG and for giving me the luck and will to continue searching, using the blessed opal ring and all it took so long I won’t admit how long but now I have and I’ve finally cooked every recipe in the game 😂
