Picolyte

Picolyte is a mysterious juice-like stuff that Beedle sells in The Minish Cap. The drinker of Picolyte has the rate of finding certain items increased, such as Kinstones, Recovery Hearts and Rupees. This most significantly affects the rate of finding certain items in grass. The best place for this is in the field to the west of town.

For Beedle to start selling Picolytes, Link must first clear the dust from the area where Beedle is going to set up shop. He can do so with the Gust Jar.

Picolyte is made by a Minish Researcher from Picoblooms. Link is asked to assist him by bringing hot spring water, milk, and potion. After giving the researcher an item, Link must go to a distant area and then return for the Picoblooms to blossom.
