Big Jaq's Spice Shack is BACK

29 June 2020

New Spice Leaf Exchange rates along with bonus Bland Queso and more!

Jaqueline the Spice Merchant Returns to Queso Canyon

The traveling spice merchant Jaqueline, or "Big Jaq" as she's known to friends, has once again setup her Spice Shack in the Queso Canyon. Visit any General Store in the areas of the Queso Canyon region to visit her popup shop where all sorts of spicy deals are available.

While Big Jaq is visiting, there are also some unique loot drops to find! Boost your Bland Queso collection by recovering Kegs of Bland Queso from mice throughout the Queso Canyon region.

Kegs of Bland Queso

Big Jaq's Bland Queso Kegs have been stolen! Catch mice in Queso Canyon for a chance to get a cheesy reward (Big Jaq won't mind you keeping the kegs for yourself.) The kegs come in three sizes and you can use Wild Tonic to shake loose double the kegs when mice drop them!

Small
250 Bland Queso

Medium
500 Bland Queso

Large
1,500 Bland Queso

• 150 Wild Tonic
  

DOUBLE keg drops with Wild Tonic!

These Kegs of Queso can be collected anywhere in the region, including Queso Geyser! The kegs are fortunately heat-resistant and buoyant enough to safetly float in the liquid hot queso at the geyser. As a result, the kegs will appear as loot drops directly from mice and not in nests.

Spice Leaf Exchange

Big Jaq offers a Spice Leaf Exchange allowing you to trade Nachore or various types of Spice Leaves for a higher tier of spice. She's adjusted her exchange rates from her last visit so make sure to check out what she has to offer!

Mild Spice Leaf
6 Nachore

Medium Spice Leaf
3 Mild Leaves

Hot Spice Leaf
3 Medium Leaves

Flamin' Spice Leaf
4 Hot Leaves

Blooming Spice Plants

Make sure to tap open the Queso Kegs as you find them to add to your inventory of Bland Queso. Visit Big Jaq's Spice Shack where you can fertilize the Bland Queso into a Blooming Spice Plant of varying size and heat.

Small Blooming Spice Plant

When harvested, you are guaranteed to find Mild Spice Leaves. This blooming spice plant also contains a handful of either Medium or Hot Spice Leaves.

Medium Blooming Spice Plant

When harvested, you are guaranteed to find Mild and Medium Spice Leaves. This blooming spice plant also contains a handful of either Hot or Flamin' Spice Leaves.

Large Blooming Spice Plant

When harvested, you are guaranteed to find Mild, Medium, and Hot Spice Leaves. This blooming spice plant also contains a handful of Flamin' Spice Leaves, or, more rarely, Ember Roots or Ember Stones.
