Gardening

The vegetable highway in Serbule.

“

Growing things in a garden: herbs, food, and flowers.

Gardening is a trade skill that allows to grow plants: fruits, flowers, vegetables. The plants can be used in other trade skills and sometimes as quest objectives (ie. collect flowers).

Basic plants usually require a Bottle of Water to be grown, while higher level ones require a Bottle of Fertilizer.

Seeds can be bought from NPCs such as Therese, and often drops from creatures (for example Panthers in Eltibule).

To plant a seed simply right-click the seeds in your inventory. You must be in a gardening area.

Note that seeds are also prized as a gift for Hulon.

• Empty Bottles are returned to your inventory after utilizing a Fertilizer.
• Empty Bottles are returned to your inventory after utilizing a bottle of water.
• It is not necessary to buy a Bottle of Water from Therese after the initial investment. Full bottles cost 100 gold, but refilling bottles at the well in the middle of Serbule town is free.
• You can only plant 2 seeds of every Vegetable, 3 of any combination of Flowers, and 5 Cotton in total.
