A '''slimeball''' is a [[crafting]] ingredient commonly dropped by [[slime]]s, and can be sneezed out by [[panda]]s.

== Obtaining ==

==== Slimes ====
{{see also|Tutorials/Slime farming}}

If a [[slime]]'s size is 1, it drops 0&ndash;2 slimeballs when killed. The maximum number of slimeballs is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 5 slimeballs with Looting III.

==== Pandas ====

Baby [[panda]]s have a {{frac|1|700}} chance of [[drop]]ping one slimeball when sneezing.
