Tales of the Shire: Cranberry Location Guide
Cranberries are a seasonal forage item in Tales of the Shire, often needed for bulletin board tasks and cooking recipes. They can be tricky to find because only certain shrubs are forageable and most cranberry bushes are in specific areas.
Where to Find Cranberries Early On in Tales of the Shire
Before unlocking new areas, you can find at least one cranberry bush across the river from Old Noakes’ Dock. Look near the tree opposite Old Noakes’ Smial for a single forageable bush.
There is also another bush on a nearby small island, but it cannot be reached early in the game.
Secret Swamp Cranberries
Reaching Friendship Level 6 with Rosie Cotton unlocks the Secret Swamp, a special area with several cranberry bushes. These bushes spawn during Fall and Winter, making it the best source for gathering multiple cranberries quickly once available.
Foraging Tips
Cranberries grow near wetlands and bog-like areas, often close to water.
Check daily for respawns since forageable plants can take time to reappear.
Focus on the Old Noakes river area early, then use the Secret Swamp later for faster harvesting.
Final Blurb
Cranberries in Tales of the Shire are mainly found near Old Noakes’ river area and later in the Secret Swamp unlocked through Rosie Cotton. Focus on these spots during Fall and Winter to quickly gather enough cranberries for quests and recipes.
