Crafting -- Mariposa Elephant Planter

Hello and thank you for purchasing the Mariposa Elephant Planter!

Not only will it brighten up your decor, but also with care and time, it will also help you to improve your beYou stats by using just a few of your assets.

## Restrictions/Limitations

* No beYou Level Requirements
* Planting: owner only
* Watering & Tending: Whoever is granted access
* beYou Hud required
* Energy = 25% or higher
* Hygiene = 25% or higher

## Basic Menu

* Access and Adjust - This Planter has an access option in the adjust menu while seated.
* Once the plant is grown the Water Level starts at 100% and goes down 3% per day. Water uses are taken from the plant’s owner no matter who waters the plant.
* Each watering takes 5 uses of beYou Water and adds 10% to the plant’s water level.
* As long as the plant’s water level is 35% or greater, the person sitting (if they have access) can tend the plant to get 1 of 2 kinds of stat boosts.
	+ Level Boost 1 - if the water level is 66% to 100%
	+ Level Boost 2 - if the water level is 36% to 65%

NOTE: These stat boosts take the plant’s water level down by 2%.

## Crafting Requirements

To grow a fern, you will first need to dig them up from the various bushes on the beYou Main Sim.

To craft your own planter, you will need:

* 5 - Stain assets in the color of your choosing
* 1 - bY Hammer
* 1 - bY Wood Chisel
* 10 - bY Lumber
* 2 - bY Sandpaper
* 1 - bY Stain Brush

Supplies to craft can be purchased either on the main beYou sim or at various local markets & affiliates. The ad board on the main beYou sim will provide landmarks to places that might be able to sell these items.

## Usage Instructions

* Grow - First, you must grow the fern in the bowl on the back of the elephant. This will require the following assets from your account:
	+ 1 - bY Fern (you can dig for them in the diggable ferns in the beYou area before the mines, or you can purchase them via the local markets page)
	+ 2 - bY Top Soil (you can dig for them in the diggable ferns in the beYou area before the mines, break down beYou soils, or you can purchase them via the local markets page)\*\*
	+ 1 - Soil Be'Juvenizer (made by refinement or you can purchase them via the local markets page)
	+ 25 - beYou Water (harvested using any beYou water source or you can purchase them via the local markets page)

\*\***VERY IMPORTANT**: As of May 2022, you should not be using the 'break soil down' option on your beYou Soils (v8.6 or older) as it breaks down to the old beYou top soil, which can not be used. If you need new top soil, please follow the instructions listed in the notice from May 2022.

Once you have confirmed the required assets you will then begin planting the fern in the bowl. Allow this process to complete you should see the following message in local chat:

* "Your plant has been grown!!"
* “You will also see information about earning fitness points.”

## Menu Options

* Water - Rez the watering can
* Tend - Tends to the plant, provides stat boost
* Hovertext - Turns the hover on/off
* Rez Stool - Places a stool next to the planter
* Sits\* - Choose different animation
* [ADJUST] - Update the pose positions

## Things to Remember

* Only the owner can grow a plant. Once grown the owner gets 1 fitness skill point and a stat boost.
* When the water level is at 35% or less, the plant will begin to suffer and the ‘tend’ option will not work. You cannot tend this plant until it has been watered to more than 35%.
* When the plant’s water level is at 0%, it is dead and must be regrown. To regrow your plant, you will need:
	+ 1 use soil rejuvenizer
	+ 1 plant (in this case bY Fern)
	+ 2 bY Top Soils
	+ 25 water to regrow to 100%.

Happy Crafting & Planting!
