PTS Patch Notes - Going Green Patch - May 9, 2019

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 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 or used in other recipes.
    • 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 and recipes can be composted for a fraction of the materials that would be gained from harvesting the plant.
• 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.
• After being watered, plants will require some time to soak it all up before they can accept more water or become harvestable.
• 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 Gardening Skill.
  • Everlasting Water Can – this watering can is not consumable and grants 1 unit of water to nearby plants. Craftable at Hordiculturist Gardening Skill.
  • Golden Watering Can – this consumable watering can completely fills the watering requirements for nearby plants. Can be found inside Bobble Pods.
• 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 level of Gardening from the Gardening Bench or the Builder’s Crafting Bench.
• Gardener Gardening Skill is required to interact with the Harvesting Bench.
• The Harvesting Bench can be used to craft various kinds of Compost, Ally Homes, 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 Homes 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 Homes 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

• Ally Homes must be planted in Club Worlds, but the allies believe in sharing – the ally will be available for anyone in the club with Horticulturist skill.

Compost

• The Compost Bin can be crafted at the Gardener 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.
• Right-click on items in the Compost Bin to select how much of the stack to compost.
• Gardener Gardening Skill is required to interact with the Compost Bin.
• Gardening recipes can be composted in order to give some of the materials granted by the plants. 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.

Food

• Create edible versions of plants by washing them at the Vegetable Sink!
• The Vegetable Sink can be crafted at the Gardener level of Gardening from the Gardening Bench or the Builder’s Crafting Bench.
• Gardener Gardening Skill is required to interact with the Vegetable Sink.
• A Food slot has been added to the character sheet next to Flasks and Emblems.
• 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!

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.

Additional Updates
