NEW! Grow your Gardening!

Higher Gardening Rank!
New worlds unleash new plants (and new pests) on the Spiral!

Khrysalis has a new Gardening Trainer and there are new Gardening Ranks, new Plants and new Spells to be learned! Truly dedicated Gardeners who are currently Gardening level 15, can now obtain the rank of Verdant Gardener!

You'll first encounter Barley during the quest "Uneasy Alllies" when you can access the zone Last Wood, but you will return to him in Bastion to finally unlock what he has to offer.

Look for new Gardening spells like Itsy Bitsy Spider, Monsoon, Ant Lion and more.


More Gardening Updates
Plant information popups will only appear now if you linger your mouse cursor the plant. This will mean that moving your cursor while in your house won't be interrupted by popups from your garden.
When an elder plant in “Second Spring" is harvested, the harvest now has a confirmation.

I've found Barley!

The quest "Uneasy Allies" will be available shortly after completeing the Eclipse Tower and returning to Bastion. This is some time after getting access to last wood, you've even entered tyrian gorge. You will probably be around level 95.

I am a bit disappointed that the update notes didn't have more accurate information on when and where we would meet Barely. The previous wording gave the impression that it was entering the area last wood that would unlock him. The wording now ("when you can access the zone Last Wood") is not much better in my opinion. Both sugest that we would meet Barley in game a lot earlier than we do and I think that I'm not alone in having searched for him when I really hadn't advanced enough in the story line. I hope that in the future you can be more correct or exact when giving such information.

I finished new gardening quest yesterday and trained Monsoon and Wind Chimes. So I went home and cast Monsoon on my plants but after I cast Wind Chimes, Monsoon went away. I'm wondering is it only animation that is gone or the effect of the spell as well? I really hope that it's only one animation at the time thing and that effects of the spell are there. Can you please clarify this for me?
Thank you in advance :)

Hi Miss GreyRose,

I did most of the testing in test realm on all new seeds that just came out and was very disappointed on the drops. I feel the rewards are very low for ranks 7 pests. I think might want to add better rewards to the plants at that LVL. May add in something for crafting also into these seeds that would give us a head start on the next crafting challenge.

Thanks again for your time.

Have great day ;)

I am level 14 gardener and have not seen Barely. Is it because of my rank? Also I planted a seed I got in Krys and it has rank 6 pests on it. I have no gardening spell to kill them. What do I do? Why was I able to plant a seed if I can't care for it?

I tried it out for myself and found that the effects are canceled out. An email to K.I. confirmed that "We apologize for any inconvenience and we are currently investigating the cause of this issue" So, from what I gather, it seems they intended the spells to stack but they just aren't at this time. I have decided to choose the most useful over time spell and cast it alone until the wizards of K.I. fix the issue. (oh please soon)
