Best Golden Food Farming Locations
Use these locations to fill your character inventories and complete the Beanstalk located in the World 6 Spirit Village. Always swap equipped golden foods based on your current activity and I recommend all characters eventually have max stacks of Cheese, Grilled Cheese Nomwich and Golden Dumpling given they are widely useful.
Golden food is farmed through these two methods:
Active & AFK Farming: The best character setup is noted below which is usually the Divine Knight using an active crystal monster spawn setup. Golden foods can also be candied or farmed AFK with high drop rate as an alternative.
Colosseum Farming: When golden food is farmed from a Colosseum the Divine Knight is preferred for their area of effect attacks and Orb of Remembrance talent. However, the Orb talent does not work on the world 5 and 6 Colosseum so you can pick any character with area of effect attacks that maximises score (e.g. Bubonic Conjuror). World 5 and 6 also drop the Gold Food Coupon that can be redeemed for a chance to turn into Nomwich, Jam, Kebabs, Meat Pie, Bread or Ham.

The Beanstalk Overview
In World 6 players unlock the Beanstalk that turns golden food bonuses into passive account wide boosts that no longer need to be equipped in your limited character food slots. Equipping the strongest golden food in character food slots is still useful though as it adds to the Beanstalk bonuses.
The sources of each Beanstalk upgrade are below and you must drop 10,000, 100,000 and 1 million of each golden food in that order to be added to the Beanstalk.
| Upgrade | Source | Beanstalk Golden Food Level |
|---|---|---|

 Supersized Gold Beanstacking |
