AI Overview
Compiled by AI from community sources — may be incomplete or inaccurate; verify before relying on it.
Toxic, sunset-hued wild berries that grow in cold climates on microTech — inedible to humans (raw, they're bitter; fermented, they become the sweet but lethal "Death Wine"), collected by hand as a high-value tradeable harvestable.
What it is
Sunset Berries are a flora harvestable: a wild berry that grows best in cold climates. Their raw flesh is described as very bitter and tannic. Despite being a fruit, they are explicitly toxic and unsuitable for human consumption — eating them causes vomiting and severe cramping, and higher doses can be fatal. In game data the item is classed as `Harvestable_SunsetBerry`, a size-1 consumable/misc object with a volume of roughly 940 µSCU (cargo dimensions ~0.12 × 0.24 × 0.13 m), placing it in the food/harvestable family rather than a graded animal-part family.
Gameplay use
Primarily a TRADE commodity (ticker SUNB). Players hand-collect the berries from spawn points in the world and sell them to commodity buyers for a profit — they are one of the higher-value entries on the harvestables board. They are NOT a player consumable in any beneficial sense: the in-fiction effect is "Toxic," so the gameplay role is gathering-and-selling, not eating. No crafting recipe or vendor turn-in (e.g. Wikelo) is documented for this item; its value is realized purely through commodity sale.
Value & where to sell
Sunset Berries are a premium harvestable. Approximate market figures (volatile — verify in-game): - Average buy price: ~68,000 aUEC/SCU (a recent low offer around 65,600 aUEC at Shepherd's Rest). - Average sell price: ~81,500 aUEC/SCU, with the best observed sell points reaching ~93,000 aUEC/SCU (e.g. People's Service Station Lambda; Nyx-area stations also listed high). - Reported best-case margin around 27,000 aUEC/SCU (~29%) under favorable conditions. Because harvested berries cost you only time to collect, selling them is effectively pure profit; price tables on UEX and SC Trade Tools update with the live economy.

Where to harvest
Sunset Berries spawn on Stanton IV — microTech — consistent with the lore that they prefer cold climates (microTech is the system's snowy/temperate world). Data sources list a spawn rate around 35% with an occurrence figure near 24.7% on microTech. Look for them among surface flora in colder biomes; collect on foot. Specific named coordinates aren't documented in the sources reviewed, so expect to scout microTech's surface rather than a fixed node.
Source
The source is the plant itself — Sunset Berries are flora (a berry-bearing plant), not an animal body part, so there is no source creature. They are harvested directly from the growing plant on microTech.
Grades & variants
No grade or variant system is documented for Sunset Berries. Unlike graded animal harvestables (e.g. pearls rated A/AA/AAA or fangs by maturity), berries are collected as whole units of a single quality, and the commodity tables list only the one SUNB entry. Value varies by market location and demand, not by item grade.

Effects
The defining property is "Toxic." Ingesting the raw berries is not suitable for humans and causes vomiting and extreme cramping; high doses have been fatal. When fermented, the berries yield a sweet-tasting but still poisonous brew popularly called "Death Wine" — a notable inversion of the bitter raw fruit. In lore, medical researchers are studying whether the berries' toxin could be turned into a treatment for nerve damage or neurological diseases, but in current gameplay the player-facing effect is purely the toxic warning.
Lore / Trivia
- "Death Wine": the fermented form is the most colorful lore hook — bitter, tannic raw berries transform into a deceptively sweet, lethal beverage. - The name "Sunset" refers to the berries' sunset-hued coloring. - The toxin's potential medical application (nerve/neurological treatment) is an ongoing in-fiction research thread, hinting at future depth for this otherwise simple harvestable.
