Silver Kelp is a crucial resource in Coral Island that is hard to find. However, since it’s needed for some critical items like sprinklers, players will want to get as many as possible.
While silver kelp can be hard to find, the good news is that there are various methods of acquiring it.
Also, before looking for silver kelp, ensure you understand how diving works and have enough bronze kelp on the side.
In this guide, I will explain all methods of finding silver kelp in Coral Island and mention the best ways to use it.
Access the Silver Ocean Level
Similar to the mines, the ocean features a bronze and a silver level. Players need to activate the first 20 solar orbs to access the silver level.
While navigating the ocean can feel a bit messy, thankfully a Reddit user has made an underwater map that showcases how to access the silver level.
Silver kelp can be found all around the silver level. However, repairing 20 solar orbs can be tough to complete early on, and many players want to craft sprinklers way before progressing that far in the ocean.
Thankfully, there are some alternative methods to getting silver kelp.
Dig at the Beach
A great way to get various items in Coral Island is digging up clovers found around the island with a hoe.
Any clovers dug up at the beach have a chance of dropping silver kelp. While it’s not the most efficient method, it’s always worth trying when passing by the beach.
Buy From Ling’s Lab
The most consistent method of getting silver kelp in Coral Island is by buying it from Ling’s lab. After entering the lab located in the middle of Starlet Town, interact with the counter in the first room to access the shop.
Here’s everything that can be bought from Ling’s lab:
- Glass – 90 coins
- Bronze Kelp – 100 coins
- Silver Kelp – 250 coins
- Gold Kelp – 800 coins
As you can see, there’s an infinite supply of silver kelp in Ling’s lab at the price of 250 coins per piece.
This translates to 1.250 coins per sprinkler (each sprinkler requires 5 silver kelp), which is a solid deal considering the immense value and efficiency of sprinklers.
As for gold kelp, its uses aren’t implemented in the game yet, but they will be in the near future. For now, it’s not worth spending your coins on.
Best Uses for Silver Kelp
The main reason players are trying to farm silver kelp is for sprinklers. Specifically, crafting a sprinkler requires the following resources:
- 5 Silver Kelp
- 5 Bronze Kelp
- 10 Scrap
Another great use for silver kelp is fertilizer. Specifically, fertilizer II is a useful tool to ensure players are growing higher-quality crops more often.
Here’s the recipe for one fertilizer II:
- 2 Compost
- 1 Sap
- 1 Silver Kelp
Lastly, similar to bronze kelp, silver kelp can be placed in an extractor to make silver kelp essence.
Conclusion
To sum up, this is how to get silver kelp in Coral Island. The best method is getting it from diving at the silver level. However, since this can be hard to unlock, there are alternatives.
Either dig at the beach and hope to get lucky, or buy it directly from Ling’s lab at the price of 250 coins per item.
