Tower of Fantasy is an exciting new open-world RPG that has players embarking on various adventures, battling enemies, and gathering all kinds of materials needed to get valuable weapons and items. One of the many materials you‘ll need to collect are strawberries, which are scattered across the world map. But finding these ripe, red berries can be tricky if you don‘t know where to look.
In this comprehensive 2,000+ word guide, you‘ll learn all about strawberry locations, what the strawberry bushes look like, when is the best time to collect them, and how to turn them in for rewards.
What Are Strawberries Used For?
Strawberries are primarily used to complete certain missions and quests in Tower of Fantasy. Some missions require you to collect and turn in things like mushrooms, fruits, minerals, etc to acquire rewards. The rewards are often valuable materials, currencies, or points to buy special items.
For example, one early mission named "Strawberry Picking" requires gathering 10 strawberries to exchange for "SSR Relic Shard Box III". These shard boxes can then be turned in at the Relic-Seeking Mender for a chance to get highly coveted SSR weapons and gear.
So in short – investing time to gather strawberries pays off handsomely with better loot!
Where To Find Strawberries
Strawberry bushes are scattered across the world map in certain locations. Here are the major strawberry hotspots:

What Strawberry Bushes Look Like
Strawberry bushes in Tower of Fantasy are short, green shrubs around knee height to your character model. They have green leafy tops and when ripe, red strawberries dot the bushes. See photo below for reference:

When Are Strawberries Ready To Harvest?
One tricky aspect of finding strawberries is that the bushes regenerate at different rates after being picked. Often you‘ll come across bushes already harvested clean by other players first. If so, you‘ll need to wait a bit for fresh berries to respawn on that bush.
It‘s advisable to try harvesting on lower population channels to avoid excessive competition from other strawberry farmers. You can check what channels have less concurrent players before heading out to the high yield spots listed above.
*Server Hopping
The total strawberry regeneration rate seems to be between 10-15 minutes average before ripe, red berries appear on previously bare bushes.
So optimization tips are:
- Note locations of already empty bushes as you explore
- Server hop to force a map refresh every 10-15 minutes
- Cycle between marked sites to efficiently farm respawns
This server hopping technique works well if playing solo. But staying on one steady server is better for team farming so your party stays together across the same instances…
How To Collect Strawberries
When you discover bushes filled with ripe, red strawberries, simply walk up close and you‘ll automatically pick them by moving in proximity. No other buttons or prompts are needed to gather each berry.
You‘ll see "+1 Strawberry" text pop up on your screen with each one added to your inventory. Keep gathering them until you have enough for any quests or missions you may be working on.
To track how many strawberries you currently have in possession, check under your "Materials > General" tab in your Backpack. The Fresh Strawberries quantity will be listed there, showing how many are available to turn in.
Where To Turn In Strawberries For Rewards
Once you‘ve collected enough strawberries for an active mission, open your quest journal and navigate to the specific quest needing them. Then travel to the associated NPC (usually found in major settlements and outposts) to submit the required strawberry count to complete.
Upon finishing the mission, you‘ll receive the advertised rewards. As mentioned before, common strawberry quest compensation includes:
- SSR Relic Shard boxes
- Weapon and character upgrade materials
- Special currencies to spend at vendors
For example, turning in 7 strawberries to Chef Julian in Astra Shelter rewards 3,000 Vitality and 30,000 Gold – very useful payout!
Prioritize missions that offer SSR Relic Shard boxes, as obtaining powerful relic weapons should be top focus early on.
