Gardening

**Gardening** is a part of the crafting system in Aurelia. The Garden will be a very important source of ingredients for progressing many different questlines. It consists in growing and tending to different kinds of plants, using Ivy magic, in order to get their fruits which can be later sold, given to Merah in exchange for random drops or given to Janet in exchange for food.

## Unlocking the Garden

Cf. Ivy's "Unlocking the Garden" quest.

Every afternoon hereafter (you need Ivy to be there Outside the house), you will be able to grow stuff in your Garden, and this will not advance time anymore. You can also buy "Risvell's Guide to Gardening" from Lily to give to Ivy, though it is unclear what this does. (As seen inside the game files, giving the book to Ivy could / would unlock a bigger mana pool for the Garden minigame, however, this has not been fully developed / implemented on the game)

## Fruits

### Alluring Fruit

* Description: Seedlings looks like a dark green sprout with four leaves. The mature plant looks like a pink flower (2nd position in the above picture).
* Base ingredient for **Potion of Endurance** in Alchemy.
* Two of these can be given to Janet to make **Janet's pie**.
* Ten of these can be given to Lily to make **Fermented Fertilizer**, which causes plants to grow on empty spots automatically every day.

### Mana nectar

* Description: Seedlings looks like a bulb (1st position in the above picture). The mature plant looks like a drooling blue flower (5th position in the above picture)
* Base ingredient for **Potion of Wisdom** in Alchemy.
* Two of these can be given to Janet to make **Revitalizer**.
* A number of these can be given to to Lily to make **Purifying shard**, which improves the Consume spell, doubling the attribute buff from consuming a fruit.

### Boiling chili pepper

* Description: Seedlings looks like pointy grass. The mature plant looks like red pepper with pointy leaves (6th position in the above picture)
* Base ingredient for **Potion of Power** in Alchemy.
* Two of these can be given to Janet to make **Chili and beans**.
* A number of these can be given to to Lily to make **Mystifying coating**, which doubles the harvesting power.

### Sugar-coated strawberries

### Goldenberry

* Description: Seedling looks like a green sprout with two pointy leaves sticking out. The mature plant look like a sprout with two leaves with two string of berries dangling from the leaves (8th position in the above picture). This plant takes the longest to grow.

## Upgrades

By progressing Lily's questline, she will eventually be able to create key items that boost your Gardening skills. These items act like passives (i.e. you do not need to equip nor use them) and can be viewed in your inventory.

* **Fermented Fertilizer** - Causes plants to grow on empty spots automatically every day. (*Bug: since 19.2 up to 28 EX, this effect doesn't work)*
* **Purifying shard** - Consuming a fruit now gives you a +2 attribute buff instead of a +1 buff.
* **Mystifying coating** - Doubles your harvesting power.
* **Talisman of growth** - The Overgrowth spell now fully progresses a seedling into a mature plant (except for Goldenberries, that are almost fully grown).
* **Golden Pheromones** - Causes Golden Butterflies to appear twice as often.

## Butterfly Buff

Sometimes a Golden Butterfly can appear in the garden. By clicking on it you get +20 Wisdom (thus +100MP) until the end of the day.

## Achievements

* **Gardening 101** - Harvest 10 plants from the garden
* **Garden boy** - Harvest 25 plants from the garden
* **Green thumb** - Harvest 75 plants from the garden
* **Risvell would be proud** - Harvest 125 plants from the garden
* **Local fruit delivery service** - Harvest 200 plants from the garden
* **The botanist** - Have at least 1 fruit of every plant at once

## Notes

* Bug: The Fermented Fertilizer doesn't work anymore from v.0.19.2 up to v.0.25.2.
* Erza asks the protagonist to fetch 7 Alluring fruits when he sets her free from the Small Effigy.
