Gold Plants and Trees

Also known as ennobled plants or grafted plants.

## Gold Plants

These permanent plants can be crafted in exchange for 10 puzzle pieces. The gold plants yield a blue, red, yellow, and green plant each time you harvest them. You do not have to replant grafted plants; they remain in the field and automatically start growing again after you harvest them. Gold plants cannot be sold or traded.

You will receive a message after your first tree healing event letting you know you are now eligible to graft gold plants.

Note that if you plant your ennobled plants and trees in special plots you've won from garden championships, this will not result in an increased yield since ennobled plants are not regular plants. If you have a +1 yield bonus not from gardening championships, this will apply to grafted plants as well (this includes prizes from seasonal events, the ancestor grove, and the world tree blossom event). Unfortunately, fruit trees do not receive bonus yield in the volcano garden, but grafted plants (not trees) DO receive bonus yield from the volcano garden.

## Puzzle Pieces

Universal puzzle pieces can be obtained in a variety of ways. You'll often receive them as reward from...

* Seasonal prizes
* Full Moon Events
* The Wheel of Fortune
* and they often come as a bonus when you purchase water lilies.
* You can also get specific gold puzzle pieces from your Tree Healing Event

**Making the Gold Plants**

The puzzle pieces are exchanged using the puzzle button at the bottom right corner of your screen. It will animate if you have enough puzzle pieces to complete a graft (unless you turn off animations in your settings). Click on the grafting tab (gold), then the plant, and add any puzzle pieces required to complete the exchange.

click the puzzle piece to get started. If you have all the necessary pieces to graft a plant, this symbol will wiggle (unless you turn off animations in settings)Select the kind of plant you want to graftYou'll have to start with gold plants before you can graft higher level plantsAdd 10 puzzle pieces to the graft and click "ennoble"You'll find the newly grafted plant in your inventory; you can plant it just as you would any other plant
All regular plants can be upgraded. When you harvest gold plants, you get one of each plant, and the gold plant remains in the plot, ready to grow again immediately just like fruit trees. To plant them, click the gold puzzle piece tab in your planting inventory.

Note that you must unlock all the plants of that type before you can exchange universal puzzle pieces for gold puzzle pieces. For example, you must unlock blue, yellow, red, and green lampions before you can graft a gold lampion.

## **Grafted Plant Levels**

### **Upgrading the Plants**

Pyria plants were added to the game in May 2016.

Upgrading requires merging 4 identical gold plants and 4500 moon mice. This will increase both the yield and the timer on the resulting plant. You do not need to have all four plants in your inventory; the grafting can take them directly from your field. Just open the puzzle menu and click on Pyria grafting. The plant you are able to ennoble should appear at the top right, or you may have to go searching for it. If you have all the ingredients, click "ennoble" just as you would for gold plants. Once again, you'll find the newly grafted plant in your planting inventory.

This same process can be used to upgrade the plants to level 3 (tulya–requires 4 pyria plants and 4500 moon mice) and 4 (lulya–requires 4 tulya plants and 8000 moon mice).

**Pyria Plants**

gives 5 plants of each element. These plants take a little more than 1 additional hour to grow compared to gold plants of the same type

Pyria LampionPyria Mushroom**Lulya Plants**
Gives 21 plants of each element. These grow for 3 more hours than the gold plant of the same type

**Tulya Plants**

Gives 85 plants of each element and grows for 5 more hours than its gold plant.

## Grafted Trees

Fruit Trees can also be ennobled. The process requires 2 identical trees and 4500 moon mice (or more for tulya and lulya). Unlike the plants, the timers on the trees remain the same despite the yield increase. Once you have two identical trees, the game will bring them to the beginning of the grafting menu. You'll be able to click the ennoble button if you have sufficient trees and moon mice.  Once you click the ennoble button, your new tree is ready to plant in any of your gardens. You do not need puzzle pieces to graft trees.

After a recent update, you no longer need to have both trees in your inventory to graft them; they can be planted at the time you start grafting, and the game will automatically collect and transform them for you.

## Tips

* Significantly reduce the cost of ennobling by unlocking the Ancestor Beam branch in your Ancestor Grove. This branch reduces resource costs by half—you'll only need five puzzle pieces instead of ten to graft a gold plant, and you'll need only half as many moon mice for any kind of grafting. When grafting trees or level 2, 3, 4 plants, you'll still need the same number of plants—four plants or two fruit trees—to complete the graft.
* Harvesting grafted plants does not count toward the world tree blossom event since they are all four elements.
