Peppercorn Farming Guide – How to get this uncommon ingredient in Once Human?

Looking for Peppercorn but can’t seem to find them? Well, it is indeed a rare resource with an extremely inconsistent drop rate. Peppercorn is a crucial consumable ingredient in Once Human, which can be used in multiple recipes and then consumed to get different passive effects.

1. How to get Peppercorn in Once Human?

Peppercorn can be obtained by the following three methods in Once Human:

  1. Salvaging it from the crates and cabinets scattered around the map of the game;
  2. Buying it from Lacey (NPC) in Blackfell; and
  3. Planting and harvesting them in your yard.

Even though there are three ways to stockpile Peppercorn, your most reliable option is to buy them for Lacey because the other two options require way too much grinding and effort.

2. Buying Peppercorn from Lacey in Once Human

Lacey can be found in Blackfell in the Red Sands region.

Note- You can buy a maximum of three Peppercorns from Lacey per day.

You can easily earn Energy Links by selling items to the NPC or completing weekly commissions. Therefore, purchasing a ton of Peppercorn from Lacey shouldn’t be a problem for anyone.

3. Harvesting Peppercorn in Once Human

If you want to make a more thorough supply of the Peppercorn and be self-reliant without spending much Energy Links then you will have to farm it, quite literally.

You can plant Peppercorn seeds with the help of Planter Boxes or Loamy Soil, and with just the right amount of regular water and fertilizer supply, you can get yourself a decent stockpile of Peppercorn.

You can also purchase Peppercorn seeds from Lacey or look for them in the storage crates and cabinets.
