How to make 🍶 Cup — step by step
The cheapest known path. Craft each step in order — every ingredient is either a basic element or something you make earlier in this list.
- Water + Wind = WaveBoth Water and Wind come straight from your starting elements — craft Wave first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Earth + Wave = SandSand is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Fire + Sand = GlassIf you already made Glass in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Earth + Water = PlantOne quick craft for Plant: drag Earth onto Water and keep the result for the chain.
- Fire + Water = SteamSteam is only needed as an ingredient — make it once, don't farm extra copies.
- Plant + Steam = TeaTea is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Glass + Tea = CupFinal craft: combine Glass and Tea to make Cup. That's the whole path — 7 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Cup
We rank every known recipe for Cup by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Glass and Tea — cost 4 and 4 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 7 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.
Alternative combinations for Cup
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Ash + Teacup | 7 crafts |
| Ceramic + Seaweed | 7 crafts |
| Ceramic + Tea | 7 crafts |
| Ceramic + Wine | 7 crafts |
| Shatter + Tea | 7 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
What can you make with Cup?
Cup is a busy ingredient. In the community dataset it shows up in dozens of downstream recipes: pair it with Pangaea and you get Earth; pair it with Match and you get Fire; pair it with Gasoline and you get Fire; pair it with Prometheus and you get Fire; pair it with Aquaman and you get Water; pair it with Fountain and you get Water. Crafted items are never consumed, so one copy keeps working.
Tips for crafting Cup
- Craft in one sitting. The 7-craft chain for Cup takes under two minutes once you know the route — the list above is already in dependency order, so just go top to bottom.
- Reuse your inventory. If you've played before you probably own the early intermediates (like Sand) already — skip straight to the first step you can't do.
- Missing an ingredient? Check the alternatives table — e.g. Ash + Teacup also produces Cup if that route fits your inventory better.
