Tower of Fantasy, the expansive new open-world RPG, captivated players in 2022 with its alien vistas, dangerous creatures, and deep crafting system. While there‘s no shortage of activities to enjoy, few match the simple pleasure of mixing up a batch of homemade apple juice.
As a long-time gaming enthusiast and social media marketing expert, I‘ve brewed many a glass of pixelated juice in my virtual adventures. And in Tower of Fantasy specifically, discovering the apple juice recipe unlocks one of the most beneficial drinks currently available.
In this expanded guide, I‘ll share my personal tips for crafting the perfect apple juice in Tower of Fantasy. You‘ll learn where to find ingredients, how to guarantee 100% success, creative recipe customizations, and much more. Let‘s dive in!
An Overview of Juice and Cooking in Tower of Fantasy
Before starting your journey to apple juice, it helps to understand how cooking functions in Tower of Fantasy. The system is expansive, allowing players to:
- Gather 100+ ingredients from across the world
- Combine ingredients randomly to discover new recipes
- Cook unlocked recipes anytime to produce buff food/drinks
Dishes provide restoration for HP, stamina, and satiety. The latter is essentially Tower of Fantasy‘s food meter. Letting satiety fully drain decreases max HP, so keeping fed is crucial.
Additionally, many cooked dishes provide temporary buffs to attack, defense, XP gains, etc. Apple juice, in particular, grants a useful XP boost.
The depth of these mechanics makes cooking valuable beyond just character sustenance. It‘s an entire gameplay system unto itself. Now let‘s see how apple juice specifically fits into the culinary universe of Tower of Fantasy.
Ingredient Hunting for Apples, Sugar, and Water
The core ingredients for crafting apple juice are:
- 7x Apple
- 2x Sugar Cube
- 6x Carbonated Water
Thankfully, all these are easily obtained, even early on:
Apples: Found on apple trees near Omnium Tower. Each tree provides 3-5 apples. With apple trees dotting the northwest grasslands, you‘ll have plenty in no time.
Sugar Cubes: Random drop from defeating "Heirs of Aida" world boss (unlocks after completing The Luminous Truth quest at level 25). Attempt in a group for best results.
Carbonated Water: Purchased from any cooking vendor. Cost is 120 gold each, so not prohibitively expensive.
Once equipped with these ingredients, locating a cooking station will allow you to start experimenting. But simply adding the ingredients listed may not immediately grant you apple juice…
Hitting That Crucial 100% Cooking Rate
Tower of Fantasy‘s cooking mechanic involves discovery through experimentation. Even with the right ingredients, achieving a "successful" cook isn‘t guaranteed.
To permanently unlock a recipe, you must achieve a 100% cooking rate. This is accomplished by adding extra quantities of each ingredient:
- 15x Apple (only 7 needed normally)
- 15x Sugar Cube (only 2 needed normally)
- 15x Carbonated Water (only 6 needed normally)
Once all 15 slots are filled, you‘ll see the success rate hit 100% – save your result. Apple juice should now be unlocked forever as a selectable recipe.
If another recipe appears instead, just rinse and repeat using the same overshoot method until apple juice pops out. Don‘t worry about "wasting" ingredients, as the permanent recipe knowledge is well worth it.
Why Apple Juice is an Invaluable Recipe in Tower of Fantasy
Fresh apple juice provides some great benefits that make unlocking it very worthwhile:
Restores 20 Satiety: The juicy drink replenishes a solid 20 satiety, keeping your food meter topped up.
Small HP Heal: While not a substitute for real healing items, apple juice provides a tiny HP boost as well.
Grants "Well Fed" (+5% XP): For 30 minutes after drinking, players gain +5% XP from all sources – perfect for grinding!
Cheap Satiety Per Gold: The low-cost ingredients combined with sizable satiety gain make apple juice very efficient for staying fed on a budget.
Particularly for newer players, apple juice‘s early availability and Well Fed buff give a nice XP boost when leveling up your character and weapons. And the juice conjures memories of refreshing summer beverages – a real treat while exploring Tower of Fantasy‘s alien landscape!
Creative Recipe Customizations and Presentation Ideas
Once you‘ve unlocked the apple juice recipe, don‘t be afraid to give it your own spin! Tower of Fantasy encourages culinary creativity.
Why not try swapping in different fruits like grapes or peaches? You may just craft an exciting new juice recipe.
And realistic touches like mint, cinnamon, or lemon garnish can make basic apple juice feel extra immersive.
Tower of Fantasy‘s robust cooking system rewards invention. For a full list of known ingredients to experiment with, check this guide.
When it comes to presentation, apple juice‘s vibrant color pops beautifully in a frosted glass garnished with mint and an apple wedge.

Alternative Sources for Hard-to-Find Ingredients
While mixing it yourself via the recipe is ideal, here are some other potential sources for apple juice:
-
Limited-time event reward: Apple juice was a drop from Aida Cafe event bosses (event now concluded).
-
Trading with other players: Bartering with others can help if you‘re missing ingredients.
-
Random reward chests: Chests scattered across the world may randomly provide some apple juice, but this is too inconsistent to rely on solely.
-
Purchasing from vendors: Very rarely, cooking vendors may sell apple juice directly, but availability is not guaranteed.
Brewing apple juice through its recipe remains the most reliable method. But trading and group events can provide a nice influx when needed.
Pro Tips to "Juice" Your Tower of Fantasy XP and Progression
After making apple juice many times in my own Tower of Fantasy journey, here are some tips I‘ve picked up:
-
Stock up on juice before challenging bosses for the XP boost during big fights.
-
Pair apple juice with energy restoring foods like pizza to maximize your grinding efficiency. The Well Fed XP bonus and stamina restoration combine beautifully.
-
Monitor your juice‘s expiration timer so none goes to waste – all cooked food expires after a few real-life days.
-
Don‘t sell surplus juice! Other players may pay well for cooked dishes, but apple juice‘s effects are too valuable to part with in my opinion. Consume any extras yourself.
-
Gift extra juice to your crew members. Just like you, your AI companions need food and will benefit from apple juice‘s advantages.
-
Embrace creativity! Customize the basic apple juice with new fruits, garnishes and presentations. Tower of Fantasy encourages culinary innovation so have fun with it!
Let these tips guide you to juicy success. Now enjoy your refreshing beverage as you explore all Aida has to offer. The journey is even sweeter with a trusty batch of apple juice at your side!

And that covers everything you need to start crafting the perfect glass of apple juice in Tower of Fantasy: where to gather ingredients, how to guarantee 100% success, suggested customizations and garnishes, alternative sources, and pro tips for maximizing your XP gains.
Apple juice stands apart for its early availability, cost-effective satiety restoration, and incredibly valuable permanent Well Fed XP buff. Unlocking the recipe ensures you can brew this classic summertime drink anytime.
