Romestead Items & Materials Reference
Last updated: 2026-06-06
Every Romestead item we've confirmed in-game, in one place: sell values (the orange clay-pot icon), worship values (the gold/blue gem icon you see at any altar), food healing and citizen-buff effects, weapon and armor tiers, trinkets, and boss-drop materials. If you're wondering "is this worth selling, offering, or saving?" — this is your lookup.
Every item tooltip shows two small icons bottom-right: a gold/blue gem icon (the item's worship value when offered at an altar) and an orange clay-pot icon (its sell value in copper at a merchant). A 0 in either slot means the item can't generate that type of value. Many items are worth far more as offerings than as sales — see the worship values section.

Highest worship-value offerings
Worship is the currency of god progression. The best offerings give wildly more worship than their sell value — so before you sell something, check whether it's a strong altar offering instead. Full strategy in our Gods Guide.
| Item | God | Worship | Sell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloodied Spoils of War | Mars | +1000 | 60 |
| Wine | Venus | +200 | 20 |
| Honey | Ceres | +50 | 20 |
| Grapes | Venus | +25 | 2 |
| Mint | Ceres | +15 | 1 |
| Bay Leaf | Ceres | +15 | 1 |
| Raw Meat Cut | Diana | +15 | — |
| Pine Nuts | Ceres | +12 | 2 |
| Wool / Cotton | Diana | +10 | — |
| Pickaxe | Diana | +6 | — |
| Coal | Vulcan | +5 | 8 |
| Wood Plank | Vulcan | +5 | 4 |
| Bread | Ceres | +4 | — |
| Olives | Ceres | +4 | 1 |
| Wheat | Ceres | +2 | 5 |
| Amethyst | (gem — god TBC) | +2 | 0 |
Mint and Bay Leaf give +15 worship at just 1 copper sell value — the best worship-per-resource ratio in the game. Once you can farm herbs, dump them at Ceres's altar to rocket up her blessing tree. At the top end, Bloodied Spoils of War (+1000 to Mars) is in a class of its own; its source isn't confirmed yet (likely raid or boss loot).
Raw materials
The building blocks of your settlement. "Carried" items can't go in chests — see carried vs chest-storable.
| Material | Sell | Worship | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lumber | — | — | Produced by the Lumber Yard. Carried item — needs Material Storage. |
| Wood Plank | 4 | +5 (Vulcan) | Crafted from Lumber at the Carpenter. Chest-storable. |
| Stone | — | — | Mined / quarried. Carried item. |
| Coal | 8 | +5 (Vulcan) | Fuel for Blacksmith & Bakery furnaces. |
| Copper | — | — | Mined from orange-tinted veins. Confirmed in the Desert. Carried item. |
| Flint Shard | 4 | — | Throw a Flint Rock at a regular Rock to break it into Shards. Flint is near water. |
| Bone | 4 | — | Mars / combat-tier offering material. |
| Honey | 20 | +50 (Ceres) | From the Beehive (10 Wood Plank + 1 Queen Bee at the Carpenter). |
| Mint | 1 | +15 (Ceres) | Herb. Grows in Plains, Swamp, or Forest. |
| Bay Leaf | 1 | +15 (Ceres) | Herb. Top worship-per-copper ratio. |
| Queen Bee | — | — | Required to craft the Beehive. |
| Boar Skin / Deer Skin | — | — | Leatherworker hides. Storage capacity 8 each. |
| Clay | — | — | Gathered with a Wooden Bucket. Feeds the Pottery / Dolium chain. Carried item. |
| Concrete | — | — | Clay + volcanic ash. Used to upgrade the Quarry to L3. |
| Amethyst | 0 | +2 | Gem. No merchant value — worship / crafting only. |
Food & consumables
Romestead splits food into two uses that don't overlap: player healing (eaten by you) and citizen Food stat (consumed by townsfolk at meal time). They're separate numbers.
Items tagged "Material, Food" (Olives, Pine Nuts) restore your health but give citizens 0 Food stat. Pure "Food" items (Cabbage) actually feed citizens. Stocking your town's larder with olives won't keep anyone fed.
| Item | Heals | Citizen Food | Sell | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Olives | 3 | 0 | 1 | "Material, Food." Also feeds the olive oil chain. |
| Pine Nuts | 3 | 0 | 2 | "Material, Food." +12 Ceres worship. |
| Cabbage | 5 | 1 | 2 | Pure Food — actually sustains citizens. |
| Wheat | — | — | 5 | Grows in Plains only. +2 Ceres worship. Milled into flour. |
| Bread | — | — | — | Campfire or Bakery. +4 Ceres worship. |
| Wine | 25 | — | 20 | +200 Venus worship. Citizen buff "High Spirits": +2 Happiness, +5% Loyalty gain, −1 Efficiency. |
| Grapes | — | — | 2 | +25 Venus worship. Wine-making ingredient. |
| Chicken of the Woods | — | — | — | Mushroom. Citizen buff "Satiated": −20% overall Food cost. |
| Cooked meats | varies | varies | — | Campfire: Cooked Small Game, Meat Cut, Meat Haunch, Scorpion. |
Bakery gourmet recipes (a full kitchen, separate from the Campfire): Emperor's Salad, Mushroom Skewer, Berry Crostata, Crab, Deep Fried Fish, Dulcia Domestica, Allium, Scorpion Skewers, Moretum. Several of these are real Roman dishes and several are required offerings for Ceres quests like Honoring the Craft.
Weapons
Every weapon shows a damage range, an attack-speed descriptor, and a hand requirement. Weapons also carry category-specific power stats (e.g. Axe Power), which scale that weapon type's damage. For which weapon type to actually use and the full ranked progression, see the Weapons & Armor tier list.
| Weapon | Type | Damage | Speed | Sell |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flint Axe | Axe (1H) | +5 Axe Power | — | 2 |
| Satyr Daggers | Dagger (main-hand) | 2–3 | Extremely Fast | 40 |
| Arquites Bow | Bow (2H) | 5–8 | Very slow | — |
| Feathered Bow | Bow | — | — | — |
| Sagittarii Bow | Bow | — | — | — |
| Bronze Arcuballista | Crossbow | — | — | — |
| Flamen Volcanalis Spellblade | Spellblade (Blacksmith) | — | — | — |
| Malleus Mechanicus | Maul (Blacksmith) | — | — | — |
Attack-speed ladder (confirmed endpoints): Very slow → … → Extremely Fast. There's almost certainly a Slow / Average / Fast set in between that we haven't fully catalogued.
Armor tiers
There are three armor slots — head, chest, feet (no leg or arm slots). Gear progresses through a tier ladder; each tier is roughly a biome/boss milestone:
Wooden → Flint → Copper → Bronze → Iron → Camillus → Feathered (Owl) → Tectonic (Cyclops) → Flamen Volcanalis (Volcanic) → ?
| Tier / Piece | Stats | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Camillus set (Headpiece / Robes / Sandals) | "II" badge tier | Crafted / found mid-game |
| Feathered set | — | Crafted from Guardian of Minerva (Owl) drops — Talon, Feathers |
| Tectonic Armor | +11 Armor, +15 Health, +15% Fire Resistance | Cyclops Divine Chest |
| Flamen Volcanalis set (Hood / Robes / Boots / Bow) | — | Leatherworker, after Minerva's Profane Artifice quest |
The Tectonic tier's fire resistance is no accident — it lands right before the Volcanic content where Pyzifax and fireball enemies live.
Trinkets & utility items
Trinkets occupy a dedicated equipment slot and give passive stat bonuses, often themed to a god. Utility items go in your hotbar.
| Item | Effect | Sell |
|---|---|---|
| Guarding Birch Idol (Trinket) | +10% Healing Done, +1 Energy Regen, +1 Armor | 50 |
| Carved Antler (Trinket) | +0.3 Ranged Attack Power (Diana-themed) | 50 |
| Torch | +1 Lighting — lights dark areas (dungeons) | 3 |
| Traveler's Coin | Flip to teleport home. Also a Mercury offering. | 40 |
| Venus' Perfume | "Unthreatening" for 10s — no enemy will attack you | 20 |
Venus' Perfume buys 10 seconds where nothing attacks — perfect for escaping a dungeon swarm or repositioning. Traveler's Coin is a free trip home from anywhere. Solo players especially should keep both on hand.
Cauldron & potions
The Cauldron is the potion-crafting building, and it stops being optional the moment you push into the Volcanic region — its resistance brews are how you survive the fire, burning, and poison damage there. Every potion uses one Empty Pot as its container (an output of the Pottery chain), and the resistance buffs last 5 minutes.
| Potion | Effect | Recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Aloe Salve | +20% Fire Resistance, +100% Burning Resistance (5 min) | 4 Aloe Vera + 2 Mint + 1 Empty Pot |
| Antidote | +20% Nature Resistance, +100% Poison Resistance (5 min) | 1 Strange Crab Meat + 2 Poison Mushrooms + 1 Empty Pot |
| Ember Orchid Lantern | +3 Lighting | 5 Ember Orchids + 1 Empty Pot |
Aloe Salve (fire + burning resistance) is your anti-Pyzifax, anti-volcano staple — stack it on top of Tectonic Armor's +15% Fire Resistance to tank the heat. Antidote covers poison and nature damage from Satyrs and poison mushrooms. The Ember Orchid Lantern is the brightest light source we've found — +3 Lighting, triple a Torch.
Ingredients worth knowing: Aloe Vera, Ember Orchid, Poison Mushroom, and Strange Crab Meat are gathered in and around the Volcanic biome; Mint is the same herb you farm for Ceres worship; Empty Pots come from Pottery. (More Cauldron recipes and exact gather spots coming as we confirm them.)
Boss-drop & quest materials
The items that gate progression. Most of these are quest offerings — cross-referenced in our Quest Index.
| Item | Source | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Guardian's Talon | Guardian of Minerva (Owl) | Feathered-tier crafting |
| Granite Tooth | Cyclops Divine Chest | Minerva's Virgil's Poem quest |
| Cyclops Shard | Cyclops Divine Chest | High-tier crafting |
| Nail of the Cyclops | Cyclops Divine Chest | High-tier crafting |
| Core Vessel | Volcanic boss (TBC) | Minerva's Profane Artifice quest (Temple unlock) |
| Malformed Satyr Horn | Satyr during a raid | Reveals Pyzifax's hideout (Minerva) |
| Moonstring | Found in a dungeon | Diana's The Moonstring quest |
| Declaration of War | Crafted (Virgil's Poem) or from a killed Satyr | Triggers a raid; variants summon different factions |
| Research Paper | University (first one likely a drop) | Mercury's Significant Pursuit quest |
| Bloodied Spoils of War | Source TBC (raid / boss) | +1000 worship to Mars — the single best offering |
Carried vs chest-storable items
Romestead splits items into two storage classes, and mixing them up is the #1 "my chest won't accept this" complaint. Full rules in our Storage Guide.
- Carried items (over-the-shoulder, one at a time) cannot go in regular chests. They need a Material Storage building. Confirmed: Logs/Lumber, Stone, Copper Ore, Clay (and likely all raw ores).
- Inventory items stack normally and go in chests, building panels, etc. Confirmed: Wood Plank, Coal, Flint Shard, Bone, all foods, seeds, weapons, armor, trinkets, quest items, and boss-drop materials.
Romestead is in Early Access, and item stats, values, and recipes shift with patches. Everything here is confirmed from in-game tooltips; cells marked — or TBC are simply ones we haven't captured a clean reading for yet. We update after each Beartwigs patch — see the patch tracker.
