Plants & Seeds

A seed.

Seeds are small items that can be used for growing Plants via Gardening. They each weigh one stone and can be stacked.

There are two factors that determine a plant: variety and color. Varieties are then grouped into roughly 4 classes: classical, bonsai, peculiar and fragrant and oddities.

Seeds with particular color and varieties are initially gained as loot from certain creatures, but most varieties and colors are grown by breeding multiple generations of plants.

Certain older or bugged seeds that do not stack can be made stackable with use of the Gardener's Toolbox.

Classical Breedable Plants

Certain creatures drop Plain, Red, Blue or Yellow seeds. In early times, seeds obtained via combat used to produce plants of one of three varieties:

• Ferns
• Campion Flowers
• Foxglove Flowers

Currently tribarrel cacti seeds are replaced by random seeds, which now include all classical varieties as well as (flowery) cactus oddity and vanilla oddity. However, two thirds of seed drops are still either campion flowers or ferns.

Such seeds will be named according to their color (eg "Red Seed"). There are several ways to obtain descriptive seeds (eg "Red Tribarrel Cactus Seed"):

• If a plant is grown and then bred with itself, it will produce descriptive seeds of the same type.
• If a seed is dropped into a seed box. its variety is automatically identified.
• Poppies dust can be used to identify the variety of a seed as well.

Breeding different combinations of these seeds together can produce more colors and plant varieties. Any plant that provides seeds can produce a total of eight over it's lifetime.

The initial starting seeds are dropped by:

• Boglings
• Bog Things

Breeding Table

There are 17 types of classical breedable varieties:

Campions Flowers

Poppies

Snowdrop

Bulrushes

Lillies

Pampas Grass

Rushes

Elephant Ear Plant

Fern

Ponytail Palm

Small Palm

Century Plant

Water Plant

Snake Plant

Orfluer Flowers

Junpier Bush

Foxglove Flowers

This order of appearance is useful for identifying the breed of the next generation. If you breed two plants of varieties in this table, the next generation will be the variety of the middle one.

• Example 1. If you cross-pollinate campion flowers and fern, the middle one between these two varieties is lilly
• Example 2. If you cross-pollinate elephant ear plant and water plant, there is no exact middle one because there are even number of varieties inbetween. In this case, the next generation will be either ponytail palm or small palm, equally likely.

Often this table is presented in L-shaped manner:

Resource Growing Plants

Some plants produce resources which can be harvested via the Plant Resource GUMP. Up to eight units can be harvested from any given plant.

Green Thorns, which produce various random effects, are produced by Bright Green plants of these types:

• Snake Plants

Red Leaves, which lock the contents of books, are produced by Bright Red plants of these types:

• Ponytail Palms
• Elephant Ear Plants
• Century Plants

Orange Petals, which provide high levels of poison resistance, are produced by Bright Orange plants of these types:

• Pampas Grasses
• Poppies
• Bulrushes

Poppies Dust, which is used to ID unnamed seeds, is produced by the "peculiar" style of poppies.

Flax Flowers produce bales of cotton and the cypress trees produce bark fragments.

Mutant Plants

Mutants are grown from specially colored seeds, but cannot be bred and do not produce more. There are 2 ways of obtaining mutant seeds.

1st Way. They are typically obtained by completing the Naturalist Quest.

• If you investigate 4 egg nests, they come in aqua, pink and magenta. If you also complete investigation of the secret egg nests, they come in black, white and fire red.
• Aqua, pink, magenta and fire seeds always come in classical breedable variety, (flowery) cactus oddity and vanilla oddity.
• Black and white seeds always come in peculiar varieties.

2nd Way. Any plant that can produce seeds (aside from the Cocoa Tree) also has a chance of producing black or white mutants instead of the color they normally would. Such seeds are very rare.
