Vegetable

From A Wiki in the Desert

Basics

Vegetables refer to the various edible plants which can be grown and harvested from seeds.

Vegetables are broken down into two arch-types, basic and advanced. Basic seeds are ones gained the Farming technology: Carrots, Garlic, Leeks, and Onions which are initially obtained from University of Worship as well as from performing certain tasks, such as Cabbage, which are obtained from the Beetle Breeding task.

Basic seeds available from Universities of Worship are available to paid accounts once the Farming technology is open and learned. When you request vegetables from the University, you will be given a total of 6 seeds from 2 strains of the same vegetable. The mix could be 1/5, 2/4 or 3/3. Those different strains have different qualities that can then be improved through Crossbreeding. Each University will give each player only one set of six seeds; the type of vegetable given is random. Furthermore, in T10 you may only request seeds from up to 3 different Universities of Worship.

Advanced seeds (Cucumbers, Eggplant, Peppers, and Watermelon) primarily come from foraging, similar to herbs (but without having to know the forage type). Additionally Pepper seeds may be found by drying Cattle Dung in a Flax Hammock. Seeds may also be given out during events.

  • Growing vegetables in an area affects the Ecology of that area, typically in a way that moves the vegetable being grown outside of its matching seed reproduction ecology.

Uses

Cultivation

NOTE: You will probably want to go to "Options" / "One-click and related" and check "Plant all crops where you stand" so you can plant seeds faster.

All vegetables can be grown in the same way.

  1. To plant vegetables you need to first learn the Farming skill from a University of Worship
  2. Click in your inventory on the seed you want to cultivate and use the interface options to 'plant' it
  3. Water the plant and wait for the next cycle of growth.
  4. If the plant had the required amount of water, it will grow. Repeat 3~4 till you can harvest the vegetable.
  5. Harvesting will net you a certain quantity of the vegetable along with your seed back.

Inspiration

Inspiration is an effect signified from a glow that occurs when players collect certain items from the game world and allows them to reproduce advanced seeds if they grow in the correct ecological conditions.

  • Herbs (Watermelon)
  • Mushrooms (Cucumber)
  • Fish (Pepper)
  • Reproducing a common seed (Eggplant)

Each category of inspiration is tied to one of the advanced veggie types for reproduction.

The duration of inspiration is "usually 12 hours or more".

Which item within each category that triggers the inspiration is different for every player!
