Tilling Apothecary Botany

The Botany screen becomes available after reaching the Mountains in Fighting. Ascension does not reset or change any aspect in Botany, but Rebirthing resets all plants owned and Botany level.

!!! WARNING !!![]

If you have a Card Deck Link for Botany it will only function correct if you first navigate to Apothecary screen then Botany screen, otherwise you will have to apply the deck manually through the Cards screen by equipping a different deck then Botany deck!

Overgrowth[]

Once a pot's growth bar is filled, it will reset and gain overgrowth effect which does the following:

  • Multiply growing time by 5 (can be reduced by cards to the minimum of 2.3x , at 120% card effect)
  • Multiply flowers gained by 2

It is possible to accumulate multiple overgrowth. The current overgrowth is written next to the growth bar.

Pots[]

Pots are the upgradeable tools used to grow and harvest plants used in Apothecary. The amount of herbs (Botany plant icon) and Botany EXP gained on harvest (Herbexp icon) is increased by upgrading a pot's Value. Also, the amount of time required to grow a plant (Time icon) is reduced by upgrading a pot's Speed. Lastly, the chance for the next plant seed to be harvested (Newseed icon) is increased by "Exotic Plant Chance" potions and allowing plants to be overgrown. Botany EXP is awarded only when plants are harvested.

One pot is available to start with, but up to 14 pots can be owned once prerequisite H2O levels are met and they're purchased with gold.

Botany Boosts[]

Pot Perks[]

Every pot has an individual rank that levels up as plants are harvested from them. As pots rank up, they also unlock perks that both affect itself and all pots in beneficial ways.

Pot Tier Rank Perk Bonus
Botany pot1
- - -
Botany pot2
Farmingrank1

There is no cap on pot levels, but the amount EXP required for each pot is defined by the exponential formula:

  • previousCost * (15 - potID) / 3 + 50 * rankLevel + 100 * potID


Cards[]

Unique Botany cards can be earned when harvesting plants on the screen. Each plant has its own card and the drop chance improves with each overgrowth level (see this sheet), being nearly guaranteed at overgrowth level 14. However, card drop bonus does not influence botany card drop rates.
