On the other side, ingredients that boost Corporeal Resistance or Spirit Resistance, for example, are largely avoided. Not only do most players not see huge value in these over an armor potion, but the buff granted by these potions won't stack with player-given buffs, so classes that grant resist buffs, like Archmage, Shaman, Knight, or Chosen, will largely render these a waste.

Learn the Cultivating skill at the capital city of your realm. The "Cultivator" NPC will teach you the specialization. Pair this with the trade skill Apothecary.

Cultivating

Cultivating is a time-based Gathering Profession within Return of Reckoning that allows players to grow seeds and ingredients.

Almost all ingredients created by Cultivating can be used by the Apothecary Crafting profession, so it's convenient to pair both these skills onto the same character.

Cultivating is one of the cheapest and easiest Gathering professions to use, but is limited by a time-based waiting system per craft, so it's perfect if you're doing something else in the background, like watching a show or slaughtering your enemies on the battlefield.

How to Cultivate

The Miracle Grow Remix add-on is hugely helpful for Cultivating. You can use it to easily remember and repeat your preferences.

Before we get started, you're going to want an add-on for this Skill. (Trust us!) The vanilla (default) interface for Cultivating is rough, and requires constant interaction.

To improve your experience, grab Miracle Grow Remix (MGRemix) by clicking here and downloading. Place the unzipped folder in your Interface --> Add-ons folder, and then enable it in-game via the Add-ons menu.

1. Picking a Seed

First, you're going to need to some seeds! The Craft Supply Merchant in your capital city will have a lot to choose from, and each will provide a different effect. Read the short description for the seed to see what it will grant.

Plant the seed (left click the first box if using Miracle Grow) and it will begin to grow. The more powerful the seed, the longer this will take.

2. Soil, Water, and Nutrients

You can add Soil, Water, and Nutrients to both reduce the grow time and add other benefits, like increased chance of a Critical craft, a Special Moment, or a reduced fail chance.

  • Soil increases your chance of a critical harvest, and reduces the growth time.
  • Watering Cans increase the chance of a Special Moment (Super-critical) harvest, and reduces growth time.
  • Nutrients reduce the chance of a failure result, and reduce growth time.

These are entirely optional, and many players actually skip using them entirely to save on cost. In some cases, like if you're having bad luck getting a Special Moment, certain items like the Watering Cans may come in handy. (More on this below.)

You can only add these at a specific time during the grow cycle, but thankfully, the MGRemix add-on can remember your preferences and do this for you.

The higher the level of seed you grow, the higher the chance it may fail. You can use Soil, Water, and Nutrients to boost success and critical chances.

3. A perfect Cycle

Now you've waited, and your seed has finished growing. It's time to harvest! Harvesting your grown plant will result in one of a few options:

  • Harvest: You'll gain two fully grown plants.
  • Critical Success: You'll gain three fully grown plants.
  • Special Moment: You'll gain one plant one tier higher than the level you grew. (Important: This is key for gaining stronger seeds!)
  • Failure: Your plant failed to grow. You'll gain nothing. Silently weep.

Next, you'll be able to turn your fully grown plant back into a seed to allow yourself to keep leveling. Ctrl + Right Click the fully grown plant and you'll gain both a seed and an Arboreal Resin, which are used by the Apothecary Profession to stabilize their potions.


Leveling up

Every 25 levels, you'll want to increase the strength of the seeds you're growing in order to level up.

For example: at level 25-49, use level 25 seeds. From level 50 onwards, use level 50 seeds. The fastest way to level is to keep using seeds of the tier you're currently in.

But what if you don't have stronger seeds yet? The solution lies just below:


Climbing to the next Tier

Special Moments, or Super-Criticals, will allow you to gain plants of the next tier, which you can convert into seeds to grow.

You'll rely on Special Moments (also known as Super-Criticals) to get a plant of the next tier, which you can then convert to a seed. The real pain comes when your single next-tier seed fails while growing, which will happen sometimes.

Low level seeds have a higher chance of Special Moments, and a lower chance of failure. Stronger seeds have higher failure rates and rarer Special Moments. If you're having trouble, you can use Soil, Water, and Nutrients to combat this.

If you have gold to spare, or friends with cultivating, you can also just use the Auction House or trade the plants of the level you want to grow, and then convert them down into seeds.

Growing multiple Seeds at once

Every 50 levels you gain in Cultivating will grant you an additional growth plot, up to a maximum of four. You'll gain additional plots at:

  • Level 50: Second plot unlocked
  • Level 100: Third plot unlocked
  • Level 150: Fourth plot unlocked

The benefit of Miracle Grow

Miracle Grow is a useful add-on from the start, but it really shines once you have multiple plots unlocked.

The Miracle Grow add-on will remember which soil, water, or nutrients you used per plot, and you can repeat that exact setup per plot with just one click.

If you log out or restart the game, you'll need to manually place the items back in one time so the add-on can refresh your preferences.

What should I grow?

Some ingredients are much more sought-after than others, and this usually comes down to what Apothecary crafters need to create potions that players want to use.

For example, Extenders, like Gobswort, are required to create long-lasting potions, and are exclusive to Cultivating, making them a must-have. Many stat-boosting ingredients, like Strength, Ballistic Skill, Intelligence, etc, are also useful as players can benefit most from potions with these.

Ingredients for potions that boost Corporeal Resistance or Spirit Resistance, for example, are largely avoided as many classes already grant these buffs, and they do not stack.
