Dried Starfish

Dried Starfish is an Artifact that can be found by digging up an Artifact Spot at the Beach, from Fishing Treasure Chests, or in Artifact Troves. Like other artifacts, it can be donated to the Museum, where it counts toward the total number of donations.

Beyond its museum value, Dried Starfish has a few practical uses. It can be placed in the spool of the Sewing Machine to produce the Golden Shirt, and it can also be used as a yellow dye item in the dye pots at Emily and Haley’s house, 2 Willow Lane. In Fish Pond quests, one Dried Starfish may be requested by Octopus, Rainbow Trout, Spook Fish, or Super Cucumber when expanding a pond’s capacity from 5 to 7.

Because it is an artifact rather than a crop or forage item, Dried Starfish is most often obtained while exploring the Beach or opening fishing-related treasure rewards. It is useful to keep at least one copy for donation and crafting, since its other applications are specific but easy to overlook.
