Vineberry Cluster is a basic Ashlands-tier food that increases your health by 30, stamina by 30, Eitr by 30, and health regeneration by 1 hp/tick for 15 minutes. It’s significantly more useful as an ingredient in advanced recipes.
Acquisition
Vineberry Clusters grow on red Ashvines found on various building walls in the Ashlands biome
When picking up a Vineberry Cluster, there’s a chance you’ll get some Vineberry Seeds
Vineberry Seeds can be grown into Vineberry Cluster-producing Ashvine in most biomes
Vineberry Cluster closely resembles grapes and tends to grow among the vines found on the sides of abandoned buildings of the Ashlands biome. When you gather a Vineberry Cluster, there’s a chance you’ll also get some Vineberry Seeds. You can then plant these seeds using the Cultivator tool outside the Ashlands – pretty much every biome except for Mountains and Deep North works there. Just make sure they have a wall to cling to. While Vineberry Clusters are pretty unique in how you farm them, if you’re looking for some more general farming tips, there’s also our farming guide.

How to Farm
Vineberry Clusters can grow in the following biomes:
Meadows
Black Forest
Swamp
Plains
Mistlands
Ashlands
Vineberry Cluster is a unique crop that grows unlike any other crop in the game. You’ll initially find them on the walls of abandoned Ashlands buildings. When you collect those Vineberry Clusters, there’s a chance you’ll also get some Vineberry Seeds. Planting these seeds with a Cultivator produces Ashvine.
Ashvine’s description mentions that it needs something to cling to. This means you’ll want to plant your Vineberry Seeds close to a vertical wall of some sort, just not too close. If you do it right, the seeds will produce a red Ashvine that clings to your wall. And on that wall, new Vineberry Clusters will spawn periodically. You won’t even need to keep replanting additional Vineberry Seeds.

Food
When consumed raw, a Vineberry Cluster increases your health by 30, stamina by 30, Eitr by 30, and health regeneration by 1 hp/tick for 15 minutes. It is, however, much better to use them for various high-tier mead and food recipes.
In case you do need to eat a raw Vineberry Cluster, you can do it by right clicking it in your inventory. Its effects stack with up to two other foods, but you can only eat one Vineberry Cluster at a time. Vineberry Cluster’s buff starts by providing the listed benefits, but grows weaker with time. When only 50% of its duration is left, or 7.5 minutes, the buff icon will start flashing and you’ll be able to eat another Vineberry Cluster and refresh the effects.
Cooking & Brewing
Vineberry Cluster is an ingredient in a lot of high-tier foods, Meads, and Feast, so you’ll be wise to start growing it as soon as possible. The Recipes section has the full list.
Farming
Whenever you pick up Vineberry Cluster, you can also get some Vineberry Seeds you can then plant to grow Ashvine. Ashvine clings to walls and continuously produces Vineberry Cluster for you. It can grow in just about every biome except Mountain and Deep North.
Taming
You can feed Vineberry Clusters to wild Asksvin if you want to tame the beasts. This will grant you easy access to Asksvin Tails, Asksvin Bladders, and Asksvin Hides, and provide you with a trusty mount that’s immune to lava damage.
Asksvins are high-tier creatures found in one of the hardest biomes, and as such, they’re not easy to tame. While you can trap them in various ways, the most practical way is to just do it out in the wild.
Grab some Vineberry Clusters, then sneak up on an Asksvin and throw a Vineberry Cluster on the ground near it. Once the Asksvin notices you (a yellow dot appears over its head), it will eat the food and the taming process will begin. It takes 30 minutes to fully tame an Asksvin, and in total you will need 3 Vineberry Clusters to complete this process. If you get too close during this and the Asksvin becomes aggressive (a red exclamation mark appears), you should run away and let it calm down.
You will need to remain within 64 meters of an Asksvin without drawing its aggro while it’s being tamed, so a Brew of Animal Whispers that doubles the taming speed is advisable. During this time, there’s a decent chance you’ll get attacked by various Ashlands monsters, so make sure you’re ready to fight them.
Once an Asksvin is tamed, you’ll be able to ride it to safety using an Asksvin Saddle (Flametal x6, Linen Thread x20, Morgen Sinew x4), and then start breeding them for their resources.

You’re not guaranteed to get Vineberry Seeds when gathering a Vineberry Cluster, so if you don’t get some right away, keep going
Once clinging to a wall, Ashvine doesn’t need cultivated soil underneath. This means you can decorate your buildings with vines without ruining look of the ground around them
