Where to find Flour in Tales of the Shire
Flour can only be found at Sandyman’s mill. It’s a staple resource in his shop, so he always has at least seven or so available for you to purchase on a daily basis. You can only buy what he has in stock, so once you purchase all of the Flour he has for sale, you’ll have to wait until the next day to buy more.
Since you need Flour to make most dishes, it’s a good idea to make a trip to Sandyma’s shop daily to buy up as much Flour as you can afford. If you don’t, it’ll end up being the missing ingredient stopping you from cooking dishes to dine with all the townsfolk.
Flour location in Tales of the Shire
The Sandyman’s mill shop you can visit to purchase Flour can be found near the very northwest end of the Shire. It’s not in The Village Square like most other shops, making it a bit trickier to find. This shop is just behind The Green Dragon, so the easiest way to reach it is to visit The Village Square, head over to the entrance of The Green Dragon, and go a bit further north to find the shop.
If you’re struggling to reach this location, open the map and mark Sandyman at his shop to officially track it. With the shop marked, helpful blue birds will fly along the path, guiding you right to it. Always proceed in the direction they point with their beaks. If you lose sight of them, look for a post, perch, archway, or other such place they can land nearby to make sure you’re still on the right track.
How much does Flour cost in Tales of the Shire?
The price of Flour at Sandyman’s shop varies depending on the quality you purchase. So far, I’ve seen one-star quality available for 30 coins and two-star quality for sale for 38 coins, but there may be other variants that cost even more, too.
Sandyman’s shop continues to expand as you build your friendship with him, so if we come across any other versions of Flour he has for sale, we’ll add them here. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but it’s essential for most dishes, so you’ll need to stock up on it quite frequently.
Can you make Flour in Tales of the Shire?
You cannot make Flour, as it’s exclusively a purchasable resource only sold by Sandyman. While most ingredients and resources can be grown or foraged from around the wild, Flour isn’t one of them, so the only way to get some is by spending your hard-earned coins on it.
