Direct answer

Water Chestnut appears along the water near The Narrows and Errol's Cabin in Spring, Summer, and Fall, but not as a natural Winter forage. Balor's Wagon can also sell it on rotation. The current reference lists a 25t purchase price and 5t sale price; it is not a museum donation item and is mainly useful for milling, recipes, and a Juniper request.

Where to find Water Chestnut

Check the water edges in The Narrows and near Errol's Cabin during Spring, Summer, and Fall. Walk the full shoreline after a reset instead of checking only one visible tile.

Water Chestnut does not naturally appear in Winter in the current reference. If the item is needed for a request, start looking before the final days of Fall rather than waiting for a winter spawn.

Can you buy it?

Balor's Wagon can sell Water Chestnut on rotation. The listed purchase price is 25t, so shop stock is a backup source rather than a guarantee that the item will be available every day.

If you only need one for a recipe or request, compare the shop rotation with a shoreline route. Do not spend a rare currency plan assuming the item will appear on the next visit.

What is it used for?

Water Chestnut is used for milling, recipes, and a Juniper request. It is not a museum donation, so a collection checklist does not require you to reserve one for a wing.

The sale price is 5t, making buy-and-resell a poor reason to purchase it. Keep a copy in storage when a request or recipe is still open.

What to check when it is missing

Confirm the area, season, and shoreline first, then check the shop rotation and your storage. A collected item can disappear from the map while still being available in a chest.

If the request will not complete, compare its item name and quantity with the current page. Record the version and inventory before reporting a reproduction.

Water Chestnut Fritters

The current recipe reference uses 2 Water Chestnut, 1 Flour, and 1 Oil, takes 30 minutes, and lists a 240t sale value. The recipe comes from Juniper's Water Chestnuts request rather than the starting shop list.

Finish the request and check the Kitchen level before planning the dish. The ingredient is worth more than its 5t sale price when it completes a recipe, request, or recovery plan.
