Where to Find Sunflower Sea Star

In Loftia, Sunflower Sea Star is caught at Grove Fishing Spot (Rare) and Grove Fishing Spot (Uncommon) in The Hanging Gardens. The highest catch probability is at Grove Fishing Spot (Rare), where landing a successful catch offers up to a 100.0% chance. Sunflower Sea Star is classified under the Fish category with Rare rarity and sells for 15 Dew.

Fishing Spots and Catch Rates

Catch chances and quantities for Sunflower Sea Star depend on landing a good or critical catch during the fishing minigame. The following table details every fishing spot where Sunflower Sea Star can be caught, including district area, node tier, minigame difficulty, catch chances, drop quantities, and respawn timer:

Fishing Spot District & Area Tier Minigame Difficulty Normal Catch Good Catch Critical Catch Quantity Respawn
Grove Fishing Spot (Rare) The Hanging Gardens (Grove) Rare Hard (4 rings) None (0%) 75.0% (1) / 25.0% (2) 100.0% (2) 1-2 30s
Grove Fishing Spot (Uncommon) The Hanging Gardens (Grove) Uncommon Medium (3 rings) None (0%) None (0%) 100.0% (2) 2 30s

Basic normal catches never yield fish at these spots, so landing at least a good catch is required to obtain Sunflower Sea Star. Each node respawns on a 30-second timer once depleted.

Research Bundles and Uses

The in-game item description reads: “Sunflowers require lots of water to germinate so this one must be thriving in the sea”. Sunflower Sea Star is required for the Still Standing bundle at the Central Lake Research Station, which needs 3 Sunflower Sea Star to complete. No other quests, recipes, or inspiration goals currently require Sunflower Sea Star in the game files.

Contribution Bins

In addition to research stations, Sunflower Sea Star is requested in Hanging Gardens fish bin turn-ins. One daily request calls for 2 Sunflower Sea Star alongside 5 Allis Shad. A second daily request asks for 2 Sunflower Sea Star alongside 3 Japanese Spiky Sea Cucumber. Hanging Gardens contribution bins refresh their turn-in requests every 24 hours, so individual bundles appear only on certain days.

For full inventory stats, check the Sunflower Sea Star item page. Review all local species and catch spots in the fish list guide. Track fishing node coordinates across the district on the interactive map. View turn-in requirements for all research collections on the research station bundles page.
