Diligence

The Diligence potion increases tool effectiveness by 5% for a full 300 seconds, a long-duration buff that enhances the output of any tool-based activity including farming, mining, and crafting-adjacent harvesting. Five minutes of coverage means a single bottle lasts through extended gathering sessions without interruption. The 5% bonus is modest per swing but compounds across hundreds of tool uses during a dedicated resource run.

Diligence is brewed at a basic Alchemy Station using one Magic Liquid and three ingredients sharing the diligence or craftsmanship alchemy effect tag. Work-associated plants, cultivated herbs, and farm-adjacent flora tend to carry this tag, making agricultural biomes a natural spot to gather ingredients. The long duration means this potion is extremely cost-efficient for the uptime it provides.

Diligence is best used alongside the Harvest potion for maximum resource gathering efficiency: Harvest boosts yield by 50% while Diligence improves tool effectiveness, creating a compounded gathering multiplier during the overlap window. For 300 seconds, the Swiftness potion can run simultaneously with Diligence to cover ground faster between resource nodes. Dedicated crafters and early-game resource grinders will get the most mileage from maintaining a large stockpile of this potion.
