Palworld Starfruit
A Starfruit raises a Pal's star rank by one step without condensing duplicates. The numbered fruits are locked to a single step — Starfruit ☆1 only takes a Pal from ☆0 to ☆1 — while Ripe Starfruit is flexible and raises a Pal by one rank from whatever rank it is already at, which makes it the most valuable of the set. Work through this with the Palworld item database open at /items, so every number you act on is the live one.
