Obtained

Both the recipe and the first bottle of Ripple spell potion are given to the player by Huckleberry after first entering the Miasma. It is the only potion not found in the wild.
Helpful tips in the miasma

the miasma is a hostile environment so its always good to keep these things on you: a ripple potion, mana food for example birch beer, as well as normal food (I've found boiled cabbage a good option) and some sort of health food like cooked crab-apples. and remember as huckleberry says: "having that mask made people feel more invincible than they really were" so always keep an eye on the breath timer!

Shadow is primarily used to sneak past Hoppers, feathered bats, and "the creature" that lives in the waters of the Ancient Swamp. Can also be used to sneak by Ghosts in the City, despite journals leading the player to believe that it is not effective.

Harvestables

## Growable

These crops can be grown at the homestead after finding and planting their seedlings.

## Foraging

These items can only be collected in the wild. Wood and metal fall under this category. All of these sources can be trimmed, watered, and composted like other crops, but *cannot* be replanted if the plant has issues recovering from a faulty trim. There is currently a bug that occurs in the game that affects channeling as well as trimming, so proceed with caution.
Hint Tablet

Vision of Spikes Hint Tablet in the Forest

Hint Tablets appear in the wild and can be interacted with to read their content, usually written in diary form by past adventurers, with important knowledge highlighted in **bold**.

The purpose of Hint Tablets is twofold:

1. Warn the player of a new danger in the next area
2. Provide a hint for avoiding said danger

Once a Hint Tablet has been read, its contents are added to the Logbook in the pause menu and can be accessed anytime in the *Journals* subsection.

Hint Tablets appear in each area covered by the Miasma. It has been noted that while some tablets remain after the Miasma has been cleared, others will disappear.

* Hint Tablets in the Pearl Canyon disappear after the area has been cleared.
* Some Ancient Swamp Hint Tablets persist (like the tablet in the picture below that teaches the player about the Ice Step spell), and others disappear (such as the first Hint Tablet in the very first area patrolled by a Feathered Bat).
* Hint Tablets in The City always remain, since the area is covered in Miasma for the whole story.

Hera is the amalgamation of the concepts of the worlds and acts as an arbiter of them all, ruthlessly guiding human ambition and progress at the expenses of others. They absorbed Idrila, the Beauty due to their paths overlapping, although the time when this event occurred is unknown to even the Intelligentsia Guild. As an arbiter who guides human ambition, Hera is closely connected with multiple skyfaring civilizations.

Movement is faster when casting the ice step spell. **Tip**: Ice Step works on land and water. If the player keeps an Ice Step Charm in their inventory, the ice step spell acts as a faster version of sprint and is capable of bypassing the sluggish movement caused by extreme hunger.

*This is where you start the game!*

Abraham drops you off at the top of a mountain and you must trek down the path to view your new parcel of land.

The West Peak meadow to the west of the homestead, where you can gather wild harvests like wood, metal, and apples, is initially blocked off by a porous rubble wall.

## Resources

### Seedlings

The first Corn Seedling is given to the player as part of Huckleberry's Initiation tasks upon starting the game.

### Crafting

* The Basic Workbench is given to the player as part of Huckleberry's initiation tasks upon starting the game.
* The Wardrobe is sent via parcelbird from the homesteader's brother Zeb.
* There are several buckets of Compost scattered throughout the Meadow and will serve as fertilizer for the garden until the player learns to craft Compost by purchasing a Basic Composter recipe.

### Spells

The **Ripple** Spell Potion recipe is given to the player as part of Huckleberry's initiation tasks.

### Plants and Materials (West Peak Meadow)

* Crab Apple
* Wild Onion
* Catnip Flower
* Saffron
* Birch Bark
* Wood
* Metal Cluster

## Gameplay Tips

The homesteader's brother Zeb sends a parcelbird about his Clothing business, which includes the Wardrobe crafting station where the homesteader can unlock new outfits by crafting recipes that are earned when completing some side quests.

Some food Recipes are unlocked when harvesting a plant for the first time or retrieving a crafted food item from the Grill if they are an ingredient in another recipe, others are found in Journals scattered around the map. Some recipes for food and clothing are sent by mail or parcelbird as part of correspondence or as side quest rewards.

Home upgrades purportedly increase the amount of Health restored during Sleep, but more data is needed to confirm the amount of improvement between upgrade tiers.

**Milk** is only obtainable from Abraham, so try and purchase it when it's available. There are several quests that require the use of milk. (At least 12 are needed: 6 for the 'no questions' recipes, 5 for the 'cheese' request, and 1 for main quest.)

## Recipe

Recipe given by Huckleberry during a dialogue after finding and interacting with the sick Hopper found near the Pearl Canyon Dust-eater after the Canyon has been cleared.
Mask

## Filter Mask

> *This is a mask for protection. It won't stop the poison from reaching your lungs, but it'll slow it down.* *Again, it's not going to make you invincible. And it definitely won't protect you from the wildlife out there... But it's better than nothing. —* Huckleberry
>
>

After blasting the first Rubble Wall west of the Homestead and gathering Crab Apple, the character is given the next story quest to chat with Huckleberry and obtain the Filter Mask. The icon for the mask resembles a Plague Doctor mask with a MM:SS countdown and uses lavender flowers as a filter. The mask does not use inventory space and is displayed to the right of the inventory, above spell slots.

When the player uses the Mask topic with Huckleberry, he says that he and Aunt Tilly found "crates full of them at the Academy" and suggests that this is where mask filters used to be made. He goes on to state that traveling merchants tended to be the only people to use the masks.

Makss were banned after a certain Little Rock citizen named Pete was found dead while wearing a mask (*not even in the Miasma!* exclaims Huck), which led to citizens banning the use of mask filters.

## Usage in the Miasma

While the mask is in use, a mask countdown on the game UI shows time left before the player starts feeling the effects of the Miasma. When the mask timer runs out while in the Miasma, the player's Health depletes at a fast pace. The appearance of Miasma changes to a flame-like color with a burning effect, and the player starts having choking fits while traversing it (see screenshots below). Miasma will look normal if entering before the mask is obtained from Huckleberry.

If Health runs out, the player will faint and awaken at the nearest wilderness camp (obtained and placeable after clearing an area of Miasma) or the Homesteader Tent/House, and any items gathered in the Miasma will be reclaimed by the Miasma and return to their original locations.

Miasma Appearance (mask expired)

## Upgrading the Mask

*Main article: Mask Augment*

The player begins with the mask filter given by Huckleberry that lasts 4 minutes in the Miasma and soon learns to craft Mask Augments that make the mask filter last longer. Each augment increases maximum mask duration by 2 minutes, for a maximum of 16 minutes.

The recipe for the Mask Augment is the same for every upgrade level. The recipe requires a unique item only found while in the Miasma, the Wild Bat Feather.

Mana

## Effects

Base: 5 (Known Max: 20 +1)

> Mana will **regenerate** over time. Use drinks to **heal** mana faster.
>
>

Mana determines the player's capacity for using spell potions. It is represented by blue potions in the bottom left corner of the screen.

## Using Mana

When the player activates a spell by toggling "on" the shortcut in the spell slot, Mana starts gradually draining. The draining speed varies by spell potion used. (See *Notes.*)

Mana automatically begins regenerating when no spells are in use.

## Upgrading Mana

Mana capacity can be permanently upgraded by consuming Tinctures of Resolve, which are found in the wild (can be consumed in inventory immediately without needing to free from Miasma first) or earned by completing side quests.

### Temporary Mana Effects

* While carrying the Resolve Pendant in inventory, the player gains an extra Mana pip.
* While carrying the Haste Pendant in inventory, Mana regenerates faster between using spells.

## Notes

* Ripple drains Mana the slowest and therefore can be sustained the longest, while Shadow drains Mana the fastest. In fact, early in the game when the player's Mana capacity is still low, running out of Mana while using Shadow is nearly unavoidable.
	+ It is strongly recommended to carry beverages in abundance while exploring the Miasma to replenish Mana in the pause menu to avoid running out and being detected by enemies.
	+ The Shadow spell's Mana drain speed can be halved by carrying the Shadow Charm in inventory.

Longdeer

Cured Longdeer

> *These tall, stag-like creatures are incredibly fast and just as aggressive.*
>
>

Similarly to Feathered Bats, Longdeer use a spotlight to patrol an area while standing in one place. Once detected, the player is chased by Longdeer, who charge toward them to deal damage. Just before charging, a red circle will appear around the Longdeer to indicate the area of impact once it charges at you.

## Dealing with Longdeer

* Use Ripple to see Range of Vision
* Use Shadow to delay being noticed before using Gray
* Use Gray to slow time as they charge to avoid the area of impact; can also be used to delay full detection (indicated by a red icon above their head) and provoke the charge.

## Notes

* You cannot truly avoid them, so you must outrun them. Use Shadow spell potion to create camouflage as you run past the Longdeer, and right before the Longdeer's spotlight burns through the Shadow spell, use the Gray spell to slow time and continue running. This will help to prevent fully aggravating the enemy (indicated by the icon above their head changing from yellow to red).
* In the Forest, the player's Mana level is still fairly low and charms enhancing potion effects, duration, and mana expenditure are not yet available; therefore, it is imperative to be well-stocked with mana-restoring Beverages prior to trekking the Miasma.
* Longdeer can be cured with Huck's Poultice after the Forest has been cleared of Miasma (see picture below).

Theresa Gilbert

Theresa Gilbert is a minor character in Homestead Arcana. She was one of the scholars at the Academy who researched the Miasma, and the Hermit's colleague and friend.

## Life

The little known about Gilbert is gathered from journals scattered in the wilds.

### The Academy

Theresa was a Scholar at the Pearl Canyon Chapter of the Academy alongside Arlet (the Hermit). Gilbert remained with the Academy until late 1816, A.B., when she was placed on academic probation, transferred to an archival job at another Chapter, and eventually left to live in the Miasma.

#### The Fielding-Gilbert Method

From journals picked up in the wild, the player learns that together with Arlet, Theresa co-authored the Fielding-Gilbert Method. The scar fertilizer jar discovered at Aunt Tilly's abandoned homestead utilizes this method. The description of the method is as follows:

>  *"This requires concocting a fertilizer that is poured into a Miasma scar, wherein the dust-eater burrows into the infected earth and absorb[s] the Miasma. The roots, if able to prosper, also double as a suture for the terran wound and seal the pocket from lethal Miasma bursts." —* Author Unknown (*The Fielding-Gilbert Method* journal)
>
>

#### Transfer and Probation

Theresa's curiosity about the Miasma grew stronger the more she explored it, leading her to feel a strange affinity for it. She ignored the Academy's mandated experiments and continued with independent experimentation of her own, frequently recruiting the help of Arlet.

The two had just developed the Fielding-Gilbert Method and were writing up a report for the Academy in Winter of 1815 A.B., when a series of Little Rock Council executive orders led to more sanctions on the Academy's activities. The first was a ban on filtered masks, effectively preventing safe exploration of the Miasma, and the second was a halt on all Academy experiments in Spring of 1816 A.B (*Arlet's Journal Page 1 & 2*).

Soon after, Theresa's unsanctioned experiments were discovered by the Academy's leaders, the Magusi. On Summer 2nd, 1816 A.B., Mg. Agnes Bookwater of the Carver Springs Chapter issued a notice of transfer to Pearl Canyon Chapter's Mg. Sheridan Maplebark, ordering to transfer Theresa to the Hickory Bluffs Chapter and placing her on Arcanic Probation (*Academy Notice of Transfer* journal).

### After the Academy

It is uncertain what transpired after Theresa's transfer, but in the Winter of 1816 A.B., Arlet reports that she saw Theresa in the Miasma-covered Petrified Forest without a filter mask, seemingly unaffected by the Miasma's poison. Later, Arlet presumably underwent a similar transformation, but whether the two ever found each other again is unknown.
Wardrobe

Appears as ??? in the Recipes tab

> *Some folks believe a homesteader shouldn't think about style or fashion when they're out in the wilds. But said people aren't usually around to tell homesteaders what to do.*
>
>

Placeable item. Allows for the storage and crafting of clothing items. Due to a game bug, even after the Wardrobe is unlocked via story quest and used, it appears as an undiscovered item ("???") in the Recipes tab of the pause menu.

The Wardrobe is obtained in an early letter from the player's brother Zeb, who is interested in fashion. Zeb sends the player the first Hat recipe along with the Wardrobe via parcel.

Unlike other crafting stations, the Wardrobe cannot be crafted or upgraded. It also has no delay when crafting: if all ingredients are present (either in the player's inventory or in the Magic Chest), the clothing item is crafted instantly once selected. Once crafted, the recipe for that clothing item disappears from the Recipes tab.

## Recipe Categories

Three types of items can be crafted at the Workbench for the player to wear. These items do not take space in the inventory or in the Wardrobe and cannot be taken out, bought, or sold. Linen or Hemp Silk are primary ingredients in every clothing item recipe.

* Hats
* Outfits
* Shoes
Ripple Charm

> *Items and creatures are highlighted after the ripple spell ends. This charm is given to young witches when they complete their first year of training.*
>

### Location

The Ripple Charm recipe can be found in the wild meadow to the west of the Homestead, also the only discoverable area not covered in Miasma. The recipe book is found on a rock in the body of water with the small waterfall north of the northernmost wild onion bulb. It can be reached by using the Ice Step potion.

Mill

Basic Mill

$$
--

> *A device that breaks down material into something finer. Originally relied purely on wind, but technology has passed its limitations.*
>
>

The Mill is a crafting station that can be created at a Workbench. The Mill is one of two unique crafting stations (the other being the Mill) that only have two tiers: Basic and Master. The rest of the stations have an intermediate upgrade tier known as Greater.

## Clothing

The Mill is the place to craft clothing fabrics for hats, shoes, and outfits the player learns to make using the Wardrobe. The two fabrics require growable ingredients.

1. Linen - made out of Cotton Boll
2. Hemp Silk - made out of Hemp

## Extracts

Extracts from herbs and flowers can be made at the Mill for use in stronger versions of herbal and flower tea recipes for a higher Mana replenishment.

In addition, oils from Truffles and homegrown Soybeans can be made here.

Another popular item is Beast's Blood Resin, an extract of Beast's Blood Flower that grows in the Swamp. This is a primary ingredient in the Flare spell potion recipe.

## Food

Four food recipes can be made using the Mill. Only one is consumable, the rest being crafting materials for other food recipes. They are listed in order of **frequency of usage** in recipes.

1. Corn Flour - each bag of flour takes 2 Corn. Used primarily in Baked Goods recipes. Used in 12 consumable recipes total.
2. Date Sugar - each bowl of sugar takes 2 Dates. Used in Baked Goods and Spreads recipes. Used in 8 consumable recipes total.
3. Apple Mash - each bowl of mash takes 1 Crab Apple. Used in 3 recipes total, of which one requires Apple Mash twice to make.
	* Apple Cider Vinegar requires Apple Mash and Apple Cider; Apple Cider is also made of Apple Mash, so the final product uses 2.
4. Orange Juice - each jar of juice takes 2 Oranges. The only consumable item crafted at the Mill. It is only used to craft Candied Walnuts.

Keepsakes

Are items the player can hold in their inventory to passively increase or modify their stats and abilities. Keeping them in your inventory is necessary to maintain these benefits. Keepsakes come in two forms, and both are crafted at the Enchanting Table.

## Charms

The charms boost an aspect of each specific spell.

* Flare Charm
* Gray Charm
* Ice Step Charm
* Phantom Charm
* Ripple Charm
* Shadow Charm

## Pendants

While pendants focus more on boosting the witch's natural abilities.(i.e. faster mana regen, etc.)

* Flourishing Token
* Haste Pendant
* Resilience Pendant
* Resolve Pendant
Caregiver Tonic

The Caregiver Tonic is a one-time upgrade for the player's gardening proficiency and reduces the frequency of watering needed by Homestead crops.

$$
--

> *Freezes the ground below, making bodies of water walkable.*

>
>

The Ice Step spell grants the ability to cross bodies of water by creating stepping stones made of ice.

The spell recipe was presumably invented by the Hermit, who used the spell to quickly run past a water-dwelling creature that became attached to her and followed her around.

Once activated, the spell lasts 8 minutes. Paired with the Ice Step Charm, it greatly increases the player's running speed both on land and on the water's surface.
Linen

> *A cheap fabric that is commonly used for weaving and tailoring.*
>
>

Required for one side mission Dreading Threads but mostly used to unlock clothing items.

Occasionally available for purchase from Abraham's *Today’s Stock* tab. Eventually, the recipe for it is available for purchase from Abraham’s *Upgrades* tab for 450 Silver.
Compost

Compost in inventory

$$
--

> *Boosts the speed of plant growth. A great use for scraps.*

*See main article: Gardening*

Fertilizing seedlings planted at the West Peak Homestead with compost increases their rate of growth, and effects of the compost compound with the effects of watering. It can also be used on wild plants to boost growth, though effects are much weaker than on plants grown in the Homestead.

Before the player purchases a Basic Composter recipe from Abraham, buckets of compost can be found throughout the wilds.

The player can find an upgrade recipe for Frugal Tonic in the wild, which makes use of compost more efficient by introducing a small probability that a bucket of compost will not be used up after fertilizing the plant.

*Contributor note:* The probability varies on each playthrough -- I have seen compost conserved on every other use on my first playthrough, and on my second playthrough this has only occurred 2-3 times in total after planting 10+ seedlings post-consumption. ~Muffinigans

Primarily used to frighten away ghosts when you can't just use Gray to run around them. Certain spots have ghosts lingering where you'll need to collect an item. Is not *guaranteed* to scare away said ghosts, so use with caution!

Feathered Bat in the Forest (Cured)

## Noteable Locations

Pearl Canyon, Petrified Forest, Ancient Swamp

> *The Feathered Bat is, presumably, a mammal that bears a likeness to an owl. Its feathers are used in Miasma Masks. Similarly to the Hoppers, Feathered Bats do not like people coming too close.*
>
>

The Feathered Bat is the second type of hostile creature encountered in the Miasma and is first introduced inside The Academy ruins in the Pearl Canyon. Feathered Bats resemble a large owl and when cured using Huck's Poultice after the area has been cleared of Miasma, they also hoot like an owl. They use a traveling spotlight to detect and follow intruders as they fly to close the distance and deal damage.

## Strategy

Scope out their Field of Vision (visible red wall around the enemy) with Ripple and avoid it if possible.

### Camouflage

If avoiding the patrol area is not an option, use Shadow to sneak past the Bat's line of sight, but take care not to step directly into its traveling spotlight. Once the player steps into the spotlight, it will continue to follow the player and gradually burn off the Shadow camouflage until the player becomes fully visible (unless able to run to a safe area before the spell wears off). Once the player is detected, the bat's spotlight turns red, and it will pursue the player to attempt a close-range attack.

### Alternatives

Damage can be avoided by running outside the Bat's range or using Gray to slow its reaction time and speed of detection while within range (recommended to activate before Shadow is completely disintegrated by its spotlight).

After first entering the Ancient Swamp and learning the Phantom spell potion recipe, the player can use it to conjure a decoy and use it to lure the Feathered Bat away from its patrol post. While the Bat flies back to its patrol area, the player can safely cross the area to a safe zone outside the Bat's range of vision.

Ma

Ma
--

**Ma** is a minor character in Homestead Arcana.

She is the mother of the player and Zeb, the wife of Pops and sister-in-law of Tilly Gardner.

Ma and Pops send letters to the player frequently. Some letters are unsolicited, and others are received if the player sends them a letter first regarding a topic discovered while exploring the world. For example, the player learns more about Aunt Tilly by asking Ma and Pops via mailbird.

Ma also communicates with the player without Pops. In these letters, the player learns more about Pops and Tilly's relationship, and about Pops being a capable witch who chooses to stay with his family instead of joining the Homestead Arcana program for which he was qualified.

In another letter, Ma sends the player a Pumpkin Pie, which can be sold to Abraham to earn an Xbox achievement.

Crafting

The player will need to use the workbench, provided at the beginning of the game, to craft various workstations that will allow the player to make certain classes of item, such as potions at a cauldron, refined materials or extracts at a mill, and cooked food items at a grill.

The Enchanting Table can be used to create pendants or tokens that are kept in the player's inventory to boost certain aspects. (Each pendant and token takes up a significant amount of space, 2x3 and 3x4 respectively, requiring careful thought on whether the benefit outweighs the loss of inventory space.)

The workbench can also be used to craft decorations for the homestead.

New recipes can be found from several sources:

* found while exploring the areas (any recipes you find while exploring are automatically learned and kept even if you faint in the miasma)
* received in the mail (from responses to topics or as rewards for completing mail requests)
* purchased from Abraham under his 'Upgrades' tab
* rewards from meeting target times in broom racing
* learned while creating other items. (Example: making catnip extract on the mill and picking it up from the station's collection area will unlock the recipe for 'strong catnip tea')

Advanced levels of crafting station like the Greater Workbench and Master Cauldron reduce total production time.

The wardrobe, while similar to the other crafting stations, differs in a few key ways. The wardrobe allows the player to unlock earned outfits, hats, and shoes, as well as change what the player is wearing. "Crafting" at this station is immediate, with no items to collect. The wardrobe is obtained from a parcelbird after sending a letter to Ma & Pop about Little Rock.

Sulfur is a byproduct of healed Miasma Scars. Each time a scar is healed, Sulfur appears on the ground next to it, and each piece of Sulfur is used to craft Blasting Powder that blasts one Rubble Wall open.

There are 3 Miasma Scars in each area, and therefore 3 pieces of Sulfur to blast each Rubble Wall after each scar is healed.
Mask Augment

Mask Augment in the inventory

> *Permanently increases the strength of your mask's filter, allowing you to stay in the Miasma longer before having to return.*
>
>

A permanent upgrade for the mask. Used for increasing the player's time in the Miasma.

The initial recipe can be gained in Abraham's inventory after:

* Fertilizing the first scar in the Pearl Canyon
* And talking to someone "worldly" about a mask filter

Once you choose Mask as the chat topic, the first upgrade will be available for purchase for 100 Silver. Subsequent upgrades must be crafted by the player at the Cauldron.

### Mask Duration

* Default mask = 4:00
* Upgrades in 2-minute increments, up to 16:00 maximum

Pops

**Marvin Gardner**, better known as **Pops**, is a minor character in Homestead Arcana. He is the player's father.

Pops is a native of the town of Little Rock. Pops and Ma send letters to the player frequently. Some letters are unsolicited, and others are received if the player sends them a letter first regarding a topic discovered while exploring the world.

## Life

In a letter from Ma, the player learns more about Pops and Tilly's relationship, and about Pops being a capable witch.

Pops had opportunities to apply to The Academy and join the Homestead Arcana Program, but due to an "accident" he decided to stay with his family. In a letter to his sister, he explains "that we all have different callings in life, and mine is looking after these children."

However, the player soon learns from Ma that Pops would have applied to The Academy if it weren't for his "accident," the details of which are unknown (*Ma and Pops: On The Academy* letter). Pops also tells the player that he "was rendered unable to join her [Aunt Tilly] as a Homesteader," suggesting that the mysterious accident decided his path for him (*Ma and Pop: On Tilly*). In the same letter, Pops remarks that his sister's passing was "cruel" because she was alone in the wilds and he was not there to protect her.

In a topic response letter, Ma notes that she can tell that Pops "still wishes he left with Tilly" to lead a life of adventure (*Ma and Pops: On Little Rock*). Despite this, Pops seems content with the way his life turned out and finds joy in being a family man and watching Ma and their son Zeb experiment in the kitchen (*Letter From Home #4*).
Cultist Artifact

> *A mysterious item, its use unknown.*
> *A smell of burnt incense and poison is forever etched on to its surface.*
>
>

This item is used for a side mission. A total of four can be found.

Upon finding the first artifact, the player will unlock a new topic: artifacts.

When the player asks Abraham if he knows anything, he promises to ask around to see if anyone is interested.

The player will receive a letter from a mysterious S.K.S. requesting to be sent the first artifact.

A subsequent letter will ask for the rest of the set.
