With the release of Patch 0.10.29, we're excited to introduce the new Botany system to Adrullan Online Adventures! This system allows players to grow a variety of plants from seeds, tending to their unique needs and harvesting valuable materials.
How it Works
- Obtain seeds from vendors, as drops in the world, or through salvaging
- Plant the seeds in a Botany Vessel and watch your crop grow in real-time
- Each plant has its own Hydration, Herbicide, and Fertilizer requirements
- These requirements deplete as the plant grows
- If any meter reaches zero, growth will pause until the appropriate additive is used
- Plants have varying growth times, from 1 minute up to around 7 real world days
- More challenging plants require active maintenance to keep their meters topped up
- Once a plant reaches maturity, it can be harvested for crafting materials and other rewards
Interacting with the Botany System
To begin growing a plant, place the desired seed into a Botany Vessel's seed slot and press the Craft button. This will reset the vessel's soil levels and start the growth cycle. From there, you're free to let your plant grow passively or tend to it actively by replenishing its Hydration, Herbicide, and Fertilizer levels as needed.
We've added Botany Vendors and Trainers to major cities like Osgul, Pineyearn, Willowbrook and Leont who can help you get started. They sell starter seeds, additives, and copies of "Botany Volume I", a book containing additional details on this new system.
Botany and Tradeskills
The addition of Botany creates new synergies with existing tradeskills:
- Brewing has been expanded to allow the crafting of Hydration, Herbicide, and Fertilizer additives
- Additives can restore one or more meter at a time depending on the recipe
- Salvaging can now yield seeds from fruits, vegetables, and other organic materials
- Higher Salvaging skill allows the extraction of seeds from more challenging sources
The initial release of Botany lays the groundwork for future expansions, with more seeds, plants, and features planned.
We're looking forward to seeing how this system grows! 🪴
