What Do the Tier Rankings Mean in Our Grand Blue Cursed Fruit Tier List?

In Grand Blue, we have ranked the Cursed Fruits based on their rarity, drop chance, known abilities, combat potential, and overall usefulness in-game. Since the game is still in early access and the exact effects of many Cursed Fruits are not yet fully documented, this tier list is primarily based on the information currently available. Below, we've provided a more detailed breakdown of each tier and what it means. Furthermore, we have decided to omit F tier entirely, since every fruit provides at least some sort of benefit and is better than none at all.

S	The best Cursed Fruits in Grand Blue, offering the strongest known combat potential and useful abilities. These are the top choices overall, although their extremely low drop chances make them difficult to obtain.	2
A	Excellent Cursed Fruits that provide strong abilities and perform very well in combat. They may not be quite as powerful as the S-Tier options, but their higher drop chances more than make up for that.	3
B	Decent Cursed Fruits that provide useful abilities and can be effective for progression. They have some drawbacks compared to higher tier options, but are still worthwhile when you obtain them.	3
C	Mid-tier Cursed Fruits that can still be useful, particularly early in the game, but are generally outperformed by stronger alternatives once you have access to better Fruits.	1

How to Get Cursed Fruits in Grand Blue

If you want to get a Cursed Fruit in Grand Blue, the easiest way to do so early on is by completing Almighty Calvin’s Wizard's Apprentice quest in Anchor Town. Keep in mind that this is the most reliable early-game method, but it isn't the only way to get Cursed Fruits, as you can also obtain them by purchasing Fruit Chests, buying one directly from the Fruit Trader, or exploring the different islands and finding fruits that spawn randomly.

To complete the Wizard's Apprentice Quest, head to the raised stone platforms behind the houses and talk to Almighty Calvin to start the quest, then pick up the Rusty Shovel located below his platform and follow the quest markers to dig up the required buried objects. Once you've finished the objectives, return to Calvin to complete the quest and receive Calvin’s Treasure, which you can open from your inventory to obtain your prize.

As for the Fruit Chests, they come in several sizes, ranging from 1x for 1,200 Money all the way up to 100x for 98,000 Money, with larger chests giving you more Fruits when opened. Since Cursed Fruits grant unique abilities and passives to your character, make sure to choose carefully before consuming one, especially since there is currently no documented way to remove, switch, or reroll a Cursed Fruit after you've eaten it. Alternatively, Fruit Chests can also be obtained by redeeming some of the free codes that the game offers, so make sure to do that, as you will also get several other useful items as well.
