Trove - Going Green and Bomber Royale Season 2!
gedc / Trove Forums
Gardening
- Gardening now goes to 300 (Horticulturist)!
- The Gardening bench has been renamed to the Antiquated Gardening Bench. A new Gardening Bench can now be crafted at the builders crafting bench.
- The requirements for the original gardening recipes have also been shuffled.
- Unripe Compost Heap has been renamed to Unripe Fertilizer Heap to reduce confusion.
- New types of plants have been added to Gardening at Gardener (150) level and above:
- Vegetables - Vegetable plants like Qubbage, Unicorn Chard, and Totter Tates contain vegetables when harvested.
- Vegetables can be washed at the Vegetable Sink to become food.
- Prized decorative vegetables or bomb skins can be found rarely when harvesting Vegetables. These decorative vegetables can also be crafted at the Harvesting Bench.
- Alchemy Plants - Alchemy plants contain crafting materials when harvested.
- Alchemy plant recipes can be found in Bobble Pods and when opening compost heaps.
- Alchemy plant seeds can be crafted with gardening (once learnt) or found rarely when throwing Bobble pods or opening compost heaps.
- Alchemy plant seeds can be composted for a fraction of the materials that would be gained from harvesting the plant.
- Alchemy plant recipes can be composted back in to a compost heap.
- Bobble Pods can rarely be found when breaking grass or harvesting Vegetables and Alchemy Plants. Bobble Pods are a new kind of pinata that, when thrown, grow in to a blastflower - pop them to receive rewards like Alchemy Plant recipes, seeds, and Golden Watering Cans.
- A Ridable Bobble Pod mount can rarely drop for the thrower of a Bobble Pod. This 0 mastery mount is immobile, because no one wants to reenact Day of the Triffids.
- These new Vegetable and Alchemy plants require watering and time to grow.
- Most plants require 4 hours to sprout before they can be watered.
- Once sprouted, a plant can be watered.
- Once fully watered, a plant can be harvested.
- Once harvested or watered, a plant cannot be watered again until it's ready. Depending on the plant, this may be 1, 2, or 3 days later. Regardless of what time they were planted, they will always become ready at 11 AM PT.
- Different plants require different amounts of water before becoming harvestable - for example, Corn on the Qube plants require 4 units of water, while Qumato plants require 1 unit of water.
- There are also different kinds of watering cans:
- Watering Can - this consumable watering can grants 1 unit of water to nearby plants. Craftable at Gardener (150) Skill.
- Everlasting Watering Can - this watering can is not consumable and grants 1 unit of water to nearby plants. This watering can also waters twice as fast. Craftable at Horticulturist (300) Skill.
- Golden Watering Can - this consumable watering can completely fills the watering requirements for nearby plants, and can be used on plants which have already been watered with a Watering Can or Everlasting Watering Can. Can be found inside Bobble Pods and some Compost Heaps.
- Kahramet, Warden of the Fields has been attracted to Trove by the new growth in gardening. This new dragon can be crafted at the Dragon Crucible using Blossoming Dragon Egg fragments. She can also be obtained using a dragon effigy or through a golden egg inside of greater dragon caches.
- Blossoming Dragon Egg fragments can be found inside of Bobble Pods. They can also be composted for Quality Organic Refuse.
- Moonlight bulbs can now be found all over Trove and Geode. These bulbs concentrate the power of the moon goddess into a harvestable resource. But watch out, the moon goddess doesn't take kindly to these falling into the hands of Trovians and will remove them from your bags when you go offline for more than an hour.
Harvesting Bench
- The Harvesting Bench can be crafted at the Gardener (150) Skill level of Gardening from the Gardening Bench or the Builder's Crafting Bench.
- Gardener (150) Skill is required to interact with the Harvesting Bench.
- The Harvesting Bench can be used to craft various kinds of Compost, Ally Habitats, Mounts, Decorative Plants, Farm Decorations, VFX Blocks, and Frameworks.
- Rich Fertilizer, Fertile Ash, and Plasmic Solution are also craftable at the Harvesting Bench.
- Compost Heaps from the Harvesting Bench are a great way to get Concentrated Compost, Moonlight Temper, and Cookie Musk.
- Ally Habitats are a way to acquire new allies - each home can attract a normal or rare version of the specific ally associated with that home. Ally Habitats require Horticulturist (300) to craft and to harvest.
- Flowerbed Faerie Habitat - attracts Flowerbed Faerie and (rarely) Flowerbed Countess
- Purple Glowbug Habitat - attracts Purple Glowfly and (rarely) Brilliant Glowfly
- Yzzuli's Drone Habitat - attracts Yzzuli's Drone and (rarely) Yzzuli's Queen
- Appleshell Snail Habitat - attracts Appleshell Snail and (rarely) Sourshell Snail
- Ally Habitats must be planted in Club Worlds, and are intended to be crafted by the club banding together.
- The Ally Habitats believe sharing is caring - the ally will be available for anyone with the Horticulturist skill who visits the club. If the rare ally chooses to visit, that will also be available for every visitor with Horticulturist skill.
Compost
- The Compost Bin can be crafted at the Gardener (150) Skill level of Gardening from the Gardening Bench or the Builder's Crafting Bench.
- The Compost Bin can be used to craft Organic Refuse from unwanted crafting materials and non-pvp trophies. Prized vegetables may also be composted.
- Gardener (150) Skill is required to interact with the Compost Bin.
- Gardening recipes can be composted for Compost Heaps. They can also be deconstructed for blank scrolls, but are locked by default.
- Items Composted is now a metric than can be viewed by typing /stats in the chat window.
Food
- Create edible versions of plants by washing them at the Vegetable Sink!
- The Vegetable Sink can be crafted at the Gardener (150) Skill from the Gardening Bench or the Builder's Crafting Bench.
- Gardener (150) Skill is required to interact with the Vegetable Sink.
- A Food slot has been added to the character sheet next to Flasks and Emblems. Make sure all UI mods are updated!
- Food can be equipped to grant small buffs.
- Food decays over time - a stack can be equipped, and each piece will last for a certain amount of time before decaying.
- Once a piece of food has been equipped, it cannot be unequipped - that's just gross!
- There are rumours that this is only the first bite of food to whet the appetite and give a taste of what's to come - sweeter treats may be coming in a future update. The food abides.
Badges
- A new set of badges are available for Gardening - earn badges for Harvesting, Watering Plants, and Composting. There's also an additional badge for collecting all of the Alchemy Plant Seed recipes.
- Each badge will reward the player with Bobble Pods, Instagrowers, Cubits, and sometimes something extra.
- The Obsidian Harvesting Badge grants the Green Thumbzilla Ally to help harvest plants.
- The Obsidian Watering Plants Badge grants the Botanic Floralfin Mount to help water plants.
- New trophies and achievements have been added as well!

- Clubs can now level up as players complete adventures from the club. The club’s level controls what fixtures are available. There is a daily cap on the amount of experience a club can gain that scales with the number of active members.

- Small but Active
- New Fixtures (based on clubits spent in the past week)
- High Power Rating

- Club names are now displayed below the player’s name – an option to hide these can be found in the Settings menu.

- Completing Adventures grants a new type of reward currency called Adventurine (Inventory > Flux Tab > Dragon Coin Tab > Club > Adventurine). Patrons receive a bonus 33% Adventurine.

Club Ranks and Permissions
- Fixtures are buildings that can be placed in Club Worlds to unlock mechanics, buffs, and even loot chance increases.
- Benefits from Fixtures only apply in PVE – no placing a Mount Menagerie to get bonus jump in Battle Arenas!
- At level 1, clubs can only place Base fixtures. Additional fixture slots will unlock as the club levels up.
- Fixtures can be purchased from the Merchants located on the Trovian Clubit Union fixture. They can be upgraded, placed, or removed by a Club Member with the necessary Permissions on the Fixtures tab of the Club window.
- The active benefits granted by each fixture can be viewed from the Club list (only for the primary club) and also from the Fixtures tab.
- Fixtures cost Clubits up front when placed. Each fixture can be upgraded twice for additional Clubits (and an additional increase in weekly costs!)
- Fixtures require rent (paid weekly) to keep their buffs activated. Placing a fixture for the first time will immediately charge the upkeep cost; upgrading a fixture does not immediately charge rent again, but will increase it.
- There are 4 types of Fixtures: Base, Combat, Utility, and Ultimate.
- Base Fixtures:

These Adventure Heroes can be managed by a Club Member with the necessary Permissions on the Adventures tab of the Club window.

Club Members with the necessary Permissions can purchase new fixtures for the club from the Club Combat Fixture Merchant, Club Utility Fixture Merchant, or Club Ultimate Fixture Merchant. If a fixture is unavailable for purchase it means the club either doesn’t have enough cubits or isn’t a high enough level.

PTS Patch Notes - Trove Adventures - October 19, 2017
PostCard / Trove Forums
Introduction
Welcome to the initial public testing period for the Trove – Adventures expansion! These notes provide detailed information about all the great new systems and content available with the update. While most of the features are nearing completion, please be aware that the content you experience may change prior to release of the update. This includes recipe ingredients, reward values, availability of systems, and gameplay balance. You will notice that some systems have yet to receive a final treatment but part of that is also due to us leaving room to incorporate your feedback. We know that there are a ton of notes but appreciate you taking the time to skim through them.
Some systems (like Tethering) are in a [Public Evaluation] phase. This means we need to evaluate how they perform in a populated environment before we add them to the live game. If you see the [Public Evaluation] tag on an update note, please try it out and let us know what you think. We hope you enjoy playing Trove – Adventures!
Character Copy to PTSClubs 2.0
- Characters can now be copied from Live PC to PTS by using the /exportaccount command on Live. This will not copy club worlds.
- This will completely overwrite your PTS character with your Live character, including your cornerstones.
Club Adventures
- Welcome to a new club experience.
- The entire club UI has been renovated to support Adventures, Fixtures, and all the new Club Permissions. – open the club UI and use the Gear button to see all the specifics for that club!
- Clubs can now level up as players complete adventures from the club. The club’s level controls what fixtures are available. There is a daily cap on the amount of experience a club can gain that scales with the number of members.
- There is now a Club HQ building in the hub world, replacing the club portals.
- The Club HQ has portals that lead to club worlds which are:
- Popular (based on likes)
- Small but Active
- New Fixtures (based on clubits spent in the past week)
- High Power Rating
- Random
- To appear in the Club HQ portals, a club must have spent at least 1 clubit in the past week; this is to prevent inactive clubs from appearing.
- Going through these portals will place the player at the Rally of Heroes fixture in that Club World.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes the first person in a club to log in was not listed as online within the club UI.
- Club names are now displayed below the player’s name – an option to hide these can be found in the Settings menu.
Hero NPCs
- Heroes (Adventure NPCs) can be spawned at the Rally of Heroes fixture in a Club World.
- Heroes are classified in several rarities: Common (White), Uncommon (Green), Rare (Blue), Epic (Purple), and Legendary (Orange).
- Each Hero will remain spawned at the Rally of Heroes for a set amount of time. During their visit, they may fall asleep. These specifics may be managed by a Club Member with the necessary Permissions on the Adventures tab of the Club window.
- The type of Adventures that Heroes give out may change over time. Their specific adventure tables are also improved by the addition of the Repose of Heroes fixture.
- Completing Adventures grants a new type of reward currency called Adventurine (Inventory > Flux Tab > Dragon Coin Tab > Club > Adventurine). Patrons receive a bonus 33% Adventurine.
- Players can complete up to 220 Adventures per day – this cap is intended to be higher than any player is likely to complete in one day.
- Adventurine can be spent to buy these rewards:
- New Club décor from the female merchant in the Club HQ at the Hub World
- New Mounts, Styles, Allies and LED Block Recipes from the male merchant in the Club HQ at the Hub World
- At the Travelling Merchant fixture (Tier 1-3) in a Club World
- Must be a member of the club to access the Travelling Merchant
- T2, and T3 Travelling Merchants sell additional items for Adventurine like Blocktron Dragon Egg Fragments, Club Empowered Gem Boxes, Aura: Atom Sphere, and Aura: Restless Remnants
- Club Empowered Gem Boxes contain a random, guaranteed Radiant Empowered Gem
- Converted to Clubits at a 10:1 ratio at the Clubit Minting Machine on the Trovian Clubit Union or T1/T2 Travelling Merchant fixtures
- Converted to Clubits at an 85:10 ratio at the Grand Clubit Minting Machine on the Tier 3 Travelling Merchant fixture
- Only a limited number of Adventures may be taken simultaneously – the current limit is 3 from your primary club, and 3 from other people’s clubs.
- Incomplete Adventures will disappear from the Adventure Window one week after they were taken.
- Adventures are completed immediately when their objectives are finished regardless of the player’s location or if the NPC is still spawned.
- When an Adventure is completed, Club Experience is granted to the club it was taken from.
- Unwanted adventures can be abandoned at will.
- (PTS only) The Hero NPCs are still being a bit shy and are refusing to get their pictures taken until they collectively have a good hair day. Don’t worry, they’ll have icons in the Adventure window before the update goes live.

Club Ranks and Permissions
- Fixtures are buildings that can be placed in Club Worlds to unlock mechanics, buffs, and even loot chance increases.
- Benefits from Fixtures only apply in PVE – no placing a Mount Menagerie to get bonus jump in Battle Arenas!
- At level 1, clubs can only place Base fixtures. Additional fixture slots will unlock as the club levels up.
- Fixtures can be purchased from the Merchants located on the Trovian Clubit Union fixture. They can be upgraded, placed, or removed by a Club Member with the necessary Permissions on the Fixtures tab of the Club window.
- The active benefits granted by each fixture can be viewed from the Club list (only for the primary club) and also from the Fixtures tab.
- Fixtures cost Clubits up front when placed. Each fixture can be upgraded twice for additional Clubits (and an additional increase in weekly costs!)
- Fixtures require rent (paid weekly) to keep their buffs activated. Placing a fixture for the first time will immediately charge the upkeep cost; upgrading a fixture does not immediately charge rent again, but will increase it.
- There are 4 types of Fixtures: Base, Combat, Utility, and Ultimate.
- Base Fixtures:
- Rally of Heroes – Allows spawning of Adventure Heroes at Hero Rally Points. These Adventure Heroes can be managed by a Club Member with the necessary Permissions on the Adventures tab of the Club window.

Club Members with the necessary Permissions can purchase new fixtures for the club from the Club Combat Fixture Merchant, Club Utility Fixture Merchant, or Club Ultimate Fixture Merchant. If a fixture is unavailable for purchase it means the club either doesn’t have enough cubits or isn’t a high enough level.

Megalithic Update - Dino Tamer & Jurassic Jungle Preview
Fasti / Trove Forums
The Megalithic Update is the first major update coming to Xbox One and PS4 – and its massive! We're adding a new class, new biome, lots of new dragons, min-games, craftable classes, seasonal events, and so much more. Learn all about the Dino Tamer class and the massive biome it calls home in this first step on the road to the Megalithic Update.
The Dino Tamer
Hailing from the Desert Frontier but lost in a land that time forgot, the Dino Tamer is a ravenous, ranged ruffian who mastered a unique combat style designed for surviving in the harsh wilderness of the Jurassic Jungle.
Dino Tamer Skills
Meatergy (passive)
Killing an enemy with the net debuff active will reduce the cooldown of the Dino Buddy skill.
Hunting Dart (R2 or RT)
Fire off a long ranged dart to hit your enemies hard before they even know you’re there. This is a fantastic way to stick and move.
Clever Snare (L2 or LT)
Throw a net to lock down and debuff anyone, or anything, that stands in your way. Holding down the button charges up the net, increasing its size, so it can hold more enemies!
Dino Buddy (R1 or RB)
Throws a piece of meat on the ground to summon one of three randomly selected dinosaurs to fight by your side. The DPS raptor, the pterodactyl with stun attack, and the tanking, taunting triceratops!
Dino Mount (L1 or LB)
Fire off your Ultimate to summon a unique dinosaur mount that empowers your attacks. Your Clever Snare is always fully charged and does substantial damage to nearby enemies. When you summon a Dino Buddy you also unleash a powerful stomp that damages anyone caught in its wake.
The Jurassic Jungle
This lush wilderness is full of dangerous dinosaurs, deadly dungeons, and dastardly devils! The Jurassic Jungle has an upper and lower level with distinct enemies to fight and tons of dungeons to take down. As you fight your way through this blast from the past you'll pick up all new styles and recipes to bring that extra retro look to the modern Trovian.
New Enemies
The Jurassic Jungle is home to a slew of new enemies of all shapes and sizes. Take down raptors with razor-sharp claws, thick-skinned triceratops tanks, a titanic Tyrannosaurus Rex, just to name a few!
This is only the beginning of what's coming with the Megalithic Update. Be on the lookout for a massive amount of info coming in the weeks ahead. Thanks for playing Trove - the best is yet to come!
Prehistoric Pack – Early Access to the Dino Tamer!
Fasti / Trove Forums
Trove’s Prehistoric Pack unlocks early access to the brand new Dino Tamer class and so much more! Hailing from the Desert Frontier but lost in a land that time forgot, this ravenous ranged ruffian mastered a unique combat style for surviving in the harsh wilderness.
Pick up this pack and party like it’s -66,000,099. This pack contains everything a growing Dino Tamer needs:
Get early access to the Dino Tamer class (two weeks ahead of the official launch date)
Unlock two new costumes, the Jurassic Jungler and Road Wrangler
The gorgeous Laseratops Mount
3 Class Gem Keys
A terraformer to create the Saurian Swamp.
A second terraformer to create the Primal Preserve!
The Dino Tamer and beautiful new biome will be available to everyone on September 13th. The Prehistoric Pack is one for the ages, so get ready to walk on the wild side!
Go, go Dino Tamer! New Class Preview.
Fasti / Trove Forums
The Dino Tamer, Trove’s latest class, is ready to run wild! Hailing from the Desert Frontier but lost in a land that time forgot, this ravenous ranged ruffian mastered a unique combat style designed for surviving in the harsh wilderness of the Saurian Swamp and Jurassic Jungle.
Hunting Dart (left click)
Fire off a long ranged dart to hit your enemies hard before they even know you’re there. This is a great attack to use while staying mobile.
Clever Snare (right click)
Throw a net to lock down anyone or anything that stands in your way. Holding down the right mouse button charges up the net increasing its size.
Meatergy (passive)
Killing an enemy with the net debuff active will reduce the cooldown of the Dino Buddy skill.
Dino Buddy (1 key)
Throws a piece of meat on the ground to summon one of three randomly selected dinosaurs to fight by your side. The DPS raptor, the pterodactyl with stun attack, and the tanking, taunting triceratops!
Dino Mount - (2 key)
Fire off your Ultimate to summon a unique dinosaur mount that empowers your attacks. Your Clever Snare is always fully charged and does substantial damage to nearby enemies. When you summon a Dino Buddy you also unleash a powerful stomp that damages anyone caught in its wake.
The deadly Dino Tamer is a denizen of our newest, and most massive biomes yet: the Saurian Swamp and Jurassic Jungle! This lush wilderness is full of dangerous dinosaurs, deadly dungeons, and dastardly devils!
We've only scratched the surface of what is to come when the Dino Tamer explodes on the scene!
