Plants

Written by: Lord Avasyu, the Creator

Addressed to: Everyone


Some changes to plants today, which is related to the Arboreal
classlead,
but the classlead itself will be coming up in the next few days.

- Plants now grow randomly all the time, throughout the entire
day/month/year, not just all at one time.
- Perennials no longer grow all at once on the first day of the year.
Perennials will now have one month a year in which the will grow like
mad. Not all Perennials grow during the same month.
- Certain moons and certain phases of the moon affect plant growth. This
is not a major increase/decrease as moon movement is a little too fast
at the moment, which will eventually be changed.
- Seasons affect plant growth. There is no growth in the winter months,
and increased growth in mid-spring to early summer.
- Plants that have not been picked for extended periods of time (12
months or more) will grow faster
- Plants can now grow more than 60 herbs, although once they hit 60
plant growth will decrease.
- Wardens and Concoction classes have the ability to TEND <plant> This
works exactly like grove fertility and will increase plant growth.
Harvesting from a plant will decrease its 'tending'.
- LASTHARVEST will now show the date that the plant was last harvested,
as well as how many herbs were harvested. Keep in mind this is
cumulative, so if a player harvests 10 herbs and then 10 herbs a year
later, and noone else has harvested between this time, that player will
be shown as harvesting 20 herbs.
