How to Unlock the Dryer

The Shrine skill unlocks the recipe, then the Workbench builds the machine.

  1. 1. Reach Shrine Repair Stage 3.The canonical skill record places the Dryer at this repair stage. Do not translate it into a fixed calendar day.
  2. 2. Learn the Dryer skill.Pay Standard Magatama ×3, Rain Magatama ×1 and Bronze Mirror ×1. No Twin Magatama, Child Magatama or Sword is listed.
  3. 3. Gather the construction materials.Use ordinary Wood ×30, Coal ×2 and Glass Rod ×5. Coal is not Charcoal, and the recipe uses ordinary Wood rather than Easy Wood.
  4. 4. Craft at the Workbench.The finished Dryer has a listed sell price of ¥83. Its fuel, placement and maximum count remain undocumented.

Timing

How Long Does Drying Take?

The current records split cleanly into short fruit and mushroom routes and longer fish, meat and flower routes.

2 days

Fruit and mushrooms

All 16 explicit dried-fruit records and Dried Shiitake, Dried Shimeji and Dried Wood Ear are listed at 2 days.

3 days

Fish and meat

Dried Fish, Dried Meat, Beef Jerky and Pork Jerky are listed at 3 days. Dedicated outputs stay separate from generic Game Meat.

3 days

Flowers

Dried Flowers is the shared Flower-category output. The current record is 3 days, while item-level flower eligibility stays source-bounded.

Upgrade

What Does the Upgraded Dryer Do?

It adds capacity, with no verified speed multiplier.

Verified benefit

Up to 3 materials at once

The current evidence supports a larger load, not a shorter 2-day or 3-day timer. Queue, mixed-input and simultaneous-recipe semantics are unresolved.

Compatibility

Troubleshoot the input before the machine

Fishing, hunting, livestock, crop and flower sources remain on their owning guides.

Fish boundary

Dried Fish uses an eligible Fish input. Do not automatically include Nushi Fish, Cursed Fish, Sawagani, crayfish, crabs or frogs without an explicit processing record.

Fishing guide

Meat boundary

Game Meat maps to Dried Meat, while Beef and Pork have dedicated jerky outputs. Do not import Smoker compatibility into Dryer rules.

Hunting licenses

Flower boundary

Dried Flowers is a shared Flower-category output. Decorative flower objects and event items are not automatically eligible.

FAQ

Dryer Questions

Short answers for recipes, timing, compatibility and upgrades.

How do I unlock the Dryer?

Learn the Dryer Shrine skill at Repair Stage 3. It costs Standard Magatama ×3, Rain Magatama ×1 and Bronze Mirror ×1.

What is the Dryer recipe?

Craft it at a Workbench with Wood ×30, Coal ×2 and Glass Rod ×5.

How long does drying take?

The verified fruit and mushroom routes take 2 days. Dried Fish, Dried Meat, Beef Jerky, Pork Jerky and Dried Flowers are listed at 3 days.

Can every fish or flower go in the Dryer?

Do not assume that. Normal Fish and eligible Flower records are separate compatibility questions from Nushi, Cursed Fish, crabs, frogs and decorative flower items.

What does the Upgraded Dryer do?

It accepts up to 3 materials at once. The current source confirms larger capacity, not a faster timer or a universal three-times speed increase.
