Version 2.0: The Enchanted Garden Update

== The Enchanted Garden Update ==
Version 2.0 (aka The Enchanted Garden Update), was a free update to the game released on December 6th, 2024. Version 2.0 had many new additions, alongside improving already existing features.
== Quality-of-Life Changes ==
* Legendary Recipes now have much easier recipes.
* Legendary Recipes can be directly saved to the recipe book.
== New Merchants ==
6 new merchants were added in this update:
* A lady who sells trinkets such as goblets and pots. She visits at the beginning of the day.
* A Minotaur who sells furniture items such as tables and chests alongside expansions to the Garden. He visits at the end of the day.
* A druid, witch, and mage who sell plant seeds, mushroom mycelia, and crystal seeds (respectively) for the new enchanted garden. They visit at the end of the day.
* A smuggler who sells rare (higher-level) ingredients and trinkets early, such as late-game minerals (Life Crystal, Arcane Crystal). She visits at the end of the day.
The first 5 merchants all have upgrade systems, similar to the other original merchants, which allow you to buy higher-level things from them.
== New Difficulties ==
New difficulties were added to the game; an easier version, the standard version, and two more difficult versions. One of the main things that differentiates the 4 versions are increased trading costs, and decreased trading and selling profits. 
== Enchanted Garden Overhaul ==
The Enchanted Garden was revamped in this version, allowing you to grow renewable sources of all ingredients. The Garden is split into the original area, the pond, the cave, and the crystal grotto. There are three new merchants which sell you herb, mushroom, and mineral seeds respectively. These can be planted in their respective areas and will now yield a consistent amount of ingredients per harvest (which can be upgraded via the skill tree)
=== The Garden ===
* Most ingredients besides minerals and a few exceptions can be grown here.
* The ground serves as the main growing area, although the tree provides growing space for certain mushrooms.
* Connected to the Pond and Cave.
=== The Pond ===
* The growing space for Tangleweed, Flameweed, Kraken Mushroom, and Terror Bud.
* No other ingredients can grow here.
* Connected to the Garden and Grotto.
* 1st to be unlocked.
=== The Cave ===
* Most mushrooms can grow here, with the exception of tree trunk mushrooms.
* A select few herbs can grow here as well (Bloodthorn, Goldthorn, and Lava Root).
* There is also a root system which allows you to grow Grave Truffles. This is the only way to grow them.
* Connected to the Garden and Grotto.
* 2nd to be unlocked.
=== The Crystal Grotto ===
* The growing place for minerals.
* Connected to the Pond and Cave.
* 3rd to be unlocked.
Potions can also be used to accelerate the growth of ingredients. Wild Growth is used to accelerate herb and mushroom growth, while Stone Skin is used to accelerate mineral growth. Herbs and Mushrooms must be watered after each harvest (with the exception of the Pond ingredients and Grave Truffle).
== Skill Tree Overhaul ==
The skill tree was revamped to include a plethora of new upgrades, alongside tweaking the existing upgrades. Some major changes can be seen below:
* Skills were split into 3 major branches; trading, gardening, and alchemy.
* Haggling now only requires 2 skill points to fully unlock (instead of 15).
* Trading and Alchemical Radius have been changed to 1-per-point upgrades (increments of 5%), maxing out at 20 points.
** Trade profits can additionally be increased infinitely (per 1 skill points) upon reaching the farthest upgrade of the trading branch.
* Merchant trading obtained some new skills, such as one that allows you to sell more expensively to them.
* Many new skills related to gardening were created to complement the Garden Overhaul, such as increased ingredient yield and overgrow chance (increases yield further).
* New skills related to ingredient and salt conservation upon failing a potion have been added.
* A new skill related to salt creation yield has been added.
* New skills related to haggling's difficulty and speed have been added.
== Selling and Trading ==
