Gardening Mechanics

Gardening Techniques

Gardening Notes

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

Seeds

• 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, Ivyn, Therese, or Zhao.
• You can plant 2 seeds of every Vegetable (but Green and Red Peppers share a slot. Also cantaloupes and pumpkins share a "gourd" slot, and cabbages and escarole share a "lettuce" slot.), 3 of any combination of Flowers, 5 Cotton, plus 2 "grass" (Sugarcane or Barley) in total (at the same time).

Bottles

• 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.

Buffs

• Having the Performance Appreciation buff active while gardening will increase the experience gained for each plant harvested.
• Playing an instrument or standing in the proximity of someone playing one while gardening will also randomly yield more harvest. You will be prompted when this effect takes place. Some details:
  • Every five seconds there's a die-roll to see if the plant is affected by music. The number of performers playing near it at that moment determines the chance. Once it's been affected, it can't get more affected; it's a one-shot deal. After the first dice roll if it did not "win" the roll, we move on to the next roll 5 seconds later and so on and so on until the roll is "won" or the plant is harvested/despawns or the music/effect has stopped. Also note that the number of players/instruments can change and is accounted for per roll.
  • The performers' skill is also factored in, but just the highest per skill. So having wind, drum, and string performers is much better than having three drum performers.
  • More (and more varied) performers do increase the chance of increased gardening yield, up to approximately 12 performers.

NPCs & Recipes

• The recipe for Bottle of Fertilizer can be bought from Therese. That recipe takes one Strange Dirt.
• After gaining favor with her to Friend, she will also sell a followup recipe how to make Fertilizer from Bone Meal. At Close Friends Therese will teach you a recipe how to make Bone Meal from Femurs.
• After gaining favor with him to Best Friend, Kelim will also sell a recipe how to make Recipe: Basic Fertilizer (from Rotten Meat).

Gardening Almanac

Each day, a different zone across Alharth receives a 2x bonus to a random item grown through gardening. For example, the bonus on one day might be Cotton in Eltibule, and Peas in Ilmari the next day.

Gardening Almanacs in Serbule, Rahu, and the Red Wing Casino report upcoming bonuses.

• Serbule - Inside the windmill building.
• Rahu - Inside Hirochi the Booklord's house, just south of the Rahu Garden.
• Red Wing Casino - On a table near the exit to Eltibule.
