How To Garden In Trove

Gardening is done with a Gardening Bench, where you can craft various plants.

Some plants can be harvested for crafting materials, most notably Steed Feed, while others are solely for decoration.

Each character has a Gardening Level. Plants are separated into 6 different categories or tiers of Gardening, blocked by your character's Gardening level. The tiers go by 50's, starting from level 0 to level 50, 100, etc. until level 250, which is the maximum Gardening level. You gain one level for every item you craft in your most recently unlocked tier.

Note that for every tier unlocked, you gain +75 points of Mastery.

Additionally, Gardening requires a great deal of Sunlight Bulbs, which can be found in the Peaceful Hills around and inside giant sunflower-shaped structures.

Lastly, plants grown in the wrong environment will wilt and die. If you are unsure whether a plant will grow in a certain area, plant only a single seed and see if it wilts. Don't waste your entire hoard of seed!

How to level up Gardening efficiently

Level 0-50: 50 Sponge, 80 Unripe Compost Heap (To obtain the Rich Fertilizer needed for Steed Feed & Bottle Seed. If you have them already, disregard)

Level 50-100: 40 Lava Sponge, 10 Ash Pile (To obtain the Fertile ash for the Dormant Dragon's Eye Seed's. If you have them already, create another 10 Lava Sponges)

Level 100-150: 50 Dormant Dragon's Eye Seed

Level 150-200: 50 Shady Shroom Spores (OR 50 Steed Feed Seed which are useful)

Level 200-250: 50 Bottle Seed
