After you’ve crafted an oven, you’re able to then use it to make your choice of Flavored Globs. You can add up to 5 Globs to the oven baking queue at a time, with each taking around a few minutes of real time to make. When you’ve got enough Flavored Globs, you can then upgrade your choice of weaponusing the Smithing Station. However, it’s important to note thatthe ability to upgrade weapons with Flavored Globs only unlocks once you’ve upgraded a weapon past level 5 with Sturdy Whetstone. This opens up themint, salt, mighty, sour, and spicy upgrade pathsfor you to choose between.
If you’re not sure which type of Glob to choose when upgrading weapons, a good starting point is either Salty or Spicy, as many bugs in the yard are weak to these types of damage, whereas others are often more situational. Mighty Globs are also another way to upgrade weapons past level 5 without adding specific elemental damage, making them a solid, all-rounder choice to increase things like base damage.
After progressing further through the main story, you can also unlock more recipes for the oven, including different tier 3 Jewel recipes, such as Mighty Jewels.
