Holiday 2009

GregStaats: corrected snow statue order with picture

__NOTOC__
[[Image:Holiday_2008_eggnog.jpg‎|right|frame|Pot of Eggnog]]
==Overview==
With [[Publish 63]], all characters that log in and are 30 days or older will receive a holiday gift ticket in their backpack until mid-January 2010. The gift ticket is [[Blessed]] and may only be used by the original character that receives it. When used, the character is presented with a choice of one of five different gifts.

'''Note:''' - ''Publish 63 is currently only on the [[TC1]] and [[Origin]] shards.''

==Gifts==
When a gift selection is made, the ticket is consumed and a [[Gift Box]] is placed in the character's backpack containing the chosen gift as well as a candy cane and a holiday card from a random dev team member.

[[image:Holiday_gift_menu_2009.png‎]]

* '''A Pot of Eggnog''' - An over-brimming pot of seemingly inexhaustible eggnog. When used, it produces a glass of eggnog in the character's backpack which is good for one drink and leads to inebriation.
:[[image:A_pot_of_eggnog.png]]

* '''Icicles''' - A set of 7 different icicles that may be locked down in player homes.
:[[image:Icicles.jpg]]

* '''Nutcracker''' - Choice of a small or large nutcracker that moves it's jaw when used while locked down in a player home.
**[[image:Nutcracker_large.png]] Large
**[[image:Nutcracker_small.png]] Small

* '''Snow Statue''' - Choice of one of four Snow Statues - Pegasus, Seahorse, Mermaid or Griffon.
[[image:Snow_statue_menu.jpg]]

* '''A Deed For A Holiday Tree''' - A gift that has appeared in previous years but now with more display options, the deed may be used to place a Holiday Tree in player homes in one of four styles:
**Classic - Fully ornamented and lit fir tree
**Modern - Tapering Tuscan pine tree with strings of lights
**Classic Bare - Same as Classic, without any foliage
**Modern Bare - Same as Modern, without any foliage

==Notes==
*All Holiday Tree Deeds from previous years now have all four style options.

*Six new Gift Box variants were introduced with the Holiday 2009 gifts.
[[image:Giftboxes 2009.jpg]]

*A Pot of Eggnog can be refilled when empty. You'll need [[Pitcher of Milk|milk]], [[eggs]], [[Sack of Sugar|sugar]], and liquor.

Halloween 2009

2009-10-30T23:44:07Z

GregStaats: /* Named Pumpkins */ Added more names

{{tocright}}
==Overview==
Halloween 2009 brought back some popular Halloween-related activities from previous years as well as new additions and special items to celebrate the holiday. It was a major part of [[Publish 62]].

==Event Loot Items==
Special event-themed loot may be found as loot on some monsters:
*[[Black Cat Statuette]] [[image:Black_cat_statuette.png]]
*Pumpkin Scarecrow [[image:Pumpkin_scarecrow.png]]
*Ruined Tapestry [[image:Ruined_tapestry.png]]

==Trick or Treat==
There are 5 new common treats this year. Simply walk up to an NPC and say "Trick or Treat" and then target them.

'''Beware''' - NPC's may opt to play a trick on players instead of giving them a treat. However, this year there will be no death involved but players may still be surprised at what can happen.

If you have Grandmaster (100) [[Begging]] there is a small chance that you will be given one of two new rare items.

Randomly, a character may suddenly yell out "MAKE IT STOP!"

===Treats===
====Common Treats====
* Jellybeans [[image:Jellybeans.png]]
* Nougat Swirl [[image:Nougat_swirl.png]]
* Taffy [[image:Taffy.png]]
* Wrapped Candy [[image:Wrapped_candy.png]]
* Lollipop in random flavor of Cherry, Lime or Orange [[image:Lollipops.png]]

====Semi-Rare Treats====
*Creepy Cake
*Harvest Wine
*Murky Milk
*Mr. Plain's Cookies
*Pumpkin Pizza

====GM Beggar-only Semi-Rare Treats====
*Grim Warning [[image:Grim_warning.png]]
*Skulls on a Pike [[image:Skulls_on_a_pike.png]]
*Small Web(left or right, same as [[Halloween 2008]]) [[image:Small_web.png]]

===Tricks===
====New 2009 Tricks====
Instead of an Evil Twin which would attack you in years past, a Naughty Twin may appear which may:
*Teleport you to a random moongate on same facet.
*Steal some of your candy
*Temporarily polymorph you into a [[Pile of Maggots]].

====Recurring Tricks====
*No apparent effect (likely a polymorph to human male/female that goes unnoticed) Skin turned pale white for a time and then a message saying "You have returned to your normal form"
*Bleeding profusely (harmless)
*Polymorph (as per the [[Magery]] polymorph)
*"Haunted" Each step the player takes will play a random sound.

==Mystery Quest==
A new quest starting at the Court of Truth in Yew: Speak with Jasper the Inspector there.
* Can be done completely in either Felucca or Trammel.
* Every step required in the chain, skipping steps will keep you from completing the event.
* May be repeated.
* Participating characters must be 15 days old (except for Test Center).
For full step by step details of this quest (including lots of spoilers) see: [[Halloween 2009 Quest]].

==Pumpkin Patch==
Farmers are once again harvesting pumpkins this season. Pumpkins can be picked up from most any farm land. Some of them may be double-clicked and thrown as a fire bomb. Additionally, the named pumpkins may be used with the [[Cooking]] skill to prepare food items requiring pumpkin. The pumpkins can weigh anywhere from 3-25 stones and very rarely a Jack O' Lantern will spawn.

===Jack O' Lanterns===
[[Image:Jack o lanterns.jpg|frame|Menacing and Leering, Lit and Unlit]]

Very rarely, a named pumpkin will spawn as a large Jack O' Lantern with a carved face. They may spawn in a variety of designs and can be locked down in a player's home and left lit or unlit.

===Named Pumpkins===
Pumpkins are named after devs, [[GM]]'s and [[EM]]'s.

Puzzle Board

2009-09-15T22:44:38Z

GregStaats: /* Puzzle Solutions */ #2 Solution Added

[[Image:Puzzle_board.png|frame]]
This item can be solved to yield a reward. The puzzle board is found in the [[Underworld]] at coordinates 52o 23'N 17o 47'W. You must navigate a perilous trapped hallway to reach the small room where a strongbox resides. Opening the strongbox will give you a board. You may only have one at a time. Double-clicking the board presents you with the puzzle menu. You have 1800 seconds (30 minutes) to solve before the puzzle expires and board vanishes. You can only attempt this puzzle once per day.
__NOTOC__
[[Image:Puzzle_board_menu.png]]

* '''Apply''' - Submits your answer. If correct the board vanishes and the prize appears in your backpack. If incorrect the menu closes. You can open and try again.
* '''Cancel''' - Resets the puzzle back to the original starting points
* '''Log Out''' - Closes the puzzle menu
To select a row for modification, press the black dot in the top left section. It will become light indicating that is the row you currently have selected. Press the arrow on either side to move the row up or down.
==Puzzle Rules==
* You must solve the puzzle in exactly or fewer moves than the "Command Functions"

There are a few basic rules that the puzzle follows. While there may be more, these initial rules will help you to solve the puzzles on your own if you do not wish to use the provided solutions.

* Each row consists of 1, 2, 3, or 4 "pegs." A bar is considered 4 pegs.
* If you move a row up into another filled row, it will add its pegs to that row; if you exceed 4 total pegs, the rows will simply swap places.
* If you move a row down into another filled row, it will subtract the lesser row from the greater row (so if you have a bar and you move it down into a row of 2, you will have 2 pegs left over; if you have a single peg that you move down into a row of 2, you will have 1 peg left over).
* A green bar consists of 2 red and 2 blue pegs (but can be built of 4 green pegs).
** Two green pegs consist of 1 red and 1 blue peg (but can also be built of 2 green pegs).
* A blue bar consists of 2 green and 2 red pegs (but can be built of 4 blue pegs).
** Two blue pegs consist of 1 red and 1 green peg (but can also be built of 2 blue pegs).
* A red bar consists of 2 blue pegs and 2 green pegs (but can be built of 4 red pegs).
** Two red pegs consist of 1 green and 1 blue peg (but can also be built of 2 red pegs).
* Only even numbers may be moved up or down into an empty row:
** If you move a bar up or down into an empty row, it will keep 2 pegs in the row you moved it from, and place 2 pegs into that empty row (the pegs will be of the colors listed above, not the color of the bar).
** If you move a row of two up or down into an empty row, it will keep 1 peg in the row you moved it from, and place 1 peg into that empty row (the pegs will be of the same colors listed above, not the original color of the two pegs).
* You may build a bar or a row of 2 pegs out of its corresponding colors:
** A red bar may be made of 4 red pegs or 2 blue and 2 green pegs. Two red pegs may be made of 2 red pegs or 1 blue and 1 green peg.
** A blue bar may be made of 4 blue pegs or 2 red and 2 green pegs. Two blue pegs may be made of 2 blue pegs or 1 red and 1 green peg.
** A green bar may be made of 4 green pegs or 2 blue and 2 red pegs. Two green pegs may be made of 2 green pegs or 1 blue and 1 blue peg.

These rules will be clarified some if more are discovered, but this basic knowledge should help you to solve most puzzles.

==Rewards==
A random of the following appears in your backpack when completing a puzzle.
* 30 [[Void Essence]]
* 30 [[Silver Serpent Venom]]
* 30 [[Scouring Toxin]]
* 3.0 [[Scroll of Transcendence]] of random skill
* [[Moulding Board]]
* [[Dough Bowl]]
* [[Horned Totem Pole]]
* [[Large Square Pillow]]
* [[Large Diamond Pillow]]
* [[Dusty Pillow]]
* [[Statue Pedestal]]

==New Infobox for Items==

Tonight, I've been working on a new infobox for items (weapons, armor, etc). I figure that a universal template would greatly benefit the cause of this website. To this end, I wanted to gather ideas about how effective this template works to disseminating information about particular items before I continue developing.

As an example, I've gone ahead and converted the page [[[Aegis of Grace]] on my own userpage using the template, which is still in development. So, honesty, which of the following pages looks better?

[[Aegis of Grace]]
''or''
[[User:Thadius856/Aegis of Grace]]

I'd like to continue developing this template for mass deployment, but would like to first get the nod from the site's administration. If you could please leave your thoughts regarding the template on [[User talk:Thadius856|my talk page]], I'd greatly appreciate it. [[User:Thadius856|Thadius856]] 21:37, 13 September 2008 (PDT)

==Replicas==

Concerning these, to my understanding they're just copies of existing items (or items that have existed) - Sorta like the cursed versions of the [[Artifacts (Doom)|Doom Artifacts]]. On this basis, I'm not sure we need to title them (or their images) as "replicas"... Might be better to just mention on the page text that replica versions are available.

Though I doubt we can trace back where the originals came from in most cases...

On a related note, would it be possible to avoid using unique image files for items with ambiguous appearances? For example, [[Pacify]] uses the exact same sprite as a standard [[Pike]]. I admit it's more of a gripe then a practical request but I've been wiping out tons of dupes recently... ;)

- [[User:Bomb Bloke|Bomb Bloke]] 01:02, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

: Take a closer look at [[Pacify|Pacify's]] shaft then have a look at the [[Pike]] picture (zoom in). They are not the same. Regardless, even if you feel you want to make it the pikes picture, this is only a 1.54KB issue we're talking about. The reason for me putting (Replica) is because that's what it is. The stats are different. For example - the replica one has 100% Hit Mana Leech while the original only has 62%. So therefore it is not just like a cursed item because the stats are different. If an item is called "Hat of the Magi" I'm going to put that, not HotM or HoM when I upload it. Then if someone wants to upload the real one they won't run into any problems. How is that an issue? In fact, the Pacify page should most likely be named Pacify (Replica) and not just "Pacify". You don't think any rares collector will ever come here and add in the history behind the real items since there's a big buzz around them at the moment? I'm sure Manticore knows the story behind most of them. This may come off rude but I'm not trying to be - just expressing how I think about all of this. - [[User:GregStaats|GregStaats]] 04:35, 30 December 2008 (EST)

Ah, I apologise, Pacify is indeed dyed grey. I had actually zoomed in on the images prior to my initial post but still managed to miss it. :/

The idea behind using as few images as possible is that it then becomes possible to get a quick list of every page which uses a given sprite. Doesn't really matter at this point in time (as it doesn't apply to many items at all, only the Tokuno artifacts really), but who knows, one day there might be enough items in the game to make it worth while.

The only image ''sizes'' that bother me are the big ones that slow my web browser down... This page edit alone is probably using more then 1.54KB of server space... Heh.

Re the stats, I figured since you'd stuck the "replica" notes on the "original" page they were therefore identical. I haven't been keeping up with much UO news outside of this site recently, so if these differences have been reported elsewhere I'd've missed it. Again, my mistake. - [[User:Bomb Bloke|Bomb Bloke]] 11:17, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

== Moving Pages ==

Don't delete the automatic redirect created when moving a page. Especially for a very popular page which has been up for several days at least. By now all those pages are linked from other websites and people will be confused to see a message that the page no longer exists. - [[User:JC the Builder|JC the Builder]] 19:20, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

: Ahh sorry, never thought about that. Regardless, I think I'm done on UOGuide so if you'd like to remove me from sysop that'd be fine. - [[User:GregStaats|GregStaats]] 15:00, 29 January 2009 (EST)
:: Why are you leaving us? =[ - [[User:JC the Builder|JC the Builder]] 02:42, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
::: Work and all that. You may not have noticed but there were months that I didn't do a single thing and that's starting back up again. I doubt I can put in much time and I really didn't do that much to begin with. I will say that the website itself is great with alot of great people. I'm very happy with the progress that is being made and I'm sure I'll still visit the site as a user. Thanks alot JC and best of luck. :) [[User:GregStaats|GregStaats]] 21:53, 29 January 2009 (EST)
:::: There is no reason to remove your SysOp access at this time. We have some people who haven't edited in over a year now. Just contribute whenever you can or feel like it. Hope to see you around. - [[User:JC the Builder|JC the Builder]] 19:40, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
::::: Alright, I'll try and make time when I can to do some things I've wanted to finish. I wasn't trying to make a big deal of this or anything, I just felt that if I wasn't around to do anything then I probably shouldn't be sysop.

Thanks. I had to laugh. I read your description, and then read the command, and thought "I guess it was kinda obvious." As a side note, your tables look awesome!

Thanks. But really I just found a few tables I liked, and then set about copying them where ever I felt relevant. ;)

Bomb Bloke...a full [[Bag of Sending]] can send 15000 gold not 1500 that is why I changed it. Try it out...1 charge per 10 stones...50 gold per 1 stone = 500 gold per 10 stones = 1 charge for 500 gold = 30 charges for 15000 gold.

My apologies, I got it stuck in my head that one charge per stone was required.

Great [[Pets]] section mate! I hadnt seen it before and I thought i had read this entire website! lol cant we get the guides listed under the guides section to auto list on the main page? when you look at the directory it looks like there are only a few guides when there are more hidden behind it? :) - [[User:ShadowSpinner|ShadowSpinner]] 09:47, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

----

Thanks, though I didn't write that [http://www.uoguide.com/index.php?title=Pets&oldid=8641 from scratch]. There's also a [[Mounts]] page you might be interested in.

Overall we don't have too many "guides", the exception being for quests. Many of the guides we do have "need work". Not really sure we have enough overall to justify sticking them on the main page just yet.

But there's other folks around here who have their own opinions, I'm sure. :)

Nevertheless I've thrown a "Pets" link onto the [[UOGuide:Directory|Directory]]. Tempting to expand it out into a section, but I don't really have the time at the minute to mess with the layout (which fits quite nicely at the moment).

Speaking of which, while I'm editing my talk page, I should note that I'm off overseas as of tomorrow. Back at the end of the month. Dunno if I'll be making much in the way of edits while I'm gone.

==New Infobox for Items==

Tonight, I've been working on a new infobox for items (weapons, armor, etc). I figure that a universal template would greatly benefit the cause of this website. To this end, I wanted to gather ideas about how effective this template works to disseminating information about particular items before I continue developing.

As an example, I've gone ahead and converted the page [[[Aegis of Grace]] on my own userpage using the template, which is still in development. So, honesty, which of the following pages looks better?

[[Aegis of Grace]]
''or''
[[User:Thadius856/Aegis of Grace]]

I'd like to continue developing this template for mass deployment, but would like to first get the nod from the site's administration. If you could please leave your thoughts regarding the template on [[User talk:Thadius856|my talk page]], I'd greatly appreciate it. [[User:Thadius856|Thadius856]] 21:37, 13 September 2008 (PDT)

==Replicas==

Concerning these, to my understanding they're just copies of existing items (or items that have existed) - Sorta like the cursed versions of the [[Artifacts (Doom)|Doom Artifacts]]. On this basis, I'm not sure we need to title them (or their images) as "replicas"... Might be better to just mention on the page text that replica versions are available.

Though I doubt we can trace back where the originals came from in most cases...

On a related note, would it be possible to avoid using unique image files for items with ambiguous appearances? For example, [[Pacify]] uses the exact same sprite as a standard [[Pike]]. I admit it's more of a gripe then a practical request but I've been wiping out tons of dupes recently... ;)

- [[User:Bomb Bloke|Bomb Bloke]] 01:02, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

: Take a closer look at [[Pacify|Pacify's]] shaft then have a look at the [[Pike]] picture (zoom in). They are not the same. Regardless, even if you feel you want to make it the pikes picture, this is only a 1.54KB issue we're talking about. The reason for me putting (Replica) is because that's what it is. The stats are different. For example - the replica one has 100% Hit Mana Leech while the original only has 62%. So therefore it is not just like a cursed item because the stats are different. If an item is called "Hat of the Magi" I'm going to put that, not HotM or HoM when I upload it. Then if someone wants to upload the real one they won't run into any problems. How is that an issue? In fact, the Pacify page should most likely be named Pacify (Replica) and not just "Pacify". You don't think any rares collector will ever come here and add in the history behind the real items since there's a big buzz around them at the moment? I'm sure Manticore knows the story behind most of them. This may come off rude but I'm not trying to be - just expressing how I think about all of this. - [[User:GregStaats|GregStaats]] 04:35, 30 December 2008 (EST)

Ah, I apologise, Pacify is indeed dyed grey. I had actually zoomed in on the images prior to my initial post but still managed to miss it. :/

The idea behind using as few images as possible is that it then becomes possible to get a quick list of every page which uses a given sprite. Doesn't really matter at this point in time (as it doesn't apply to many items at all, only the Tokuno artifacts really), but who knows, one day there might be enough items in the game to make it worth while.

The only image ''sizes'' that bother me are the big ones that slow my web browser down... This page edit alone is probably using more then 1.54KB of server space... Heh.

Re the stats, I figured since you'd stuck the "replica" notes on the "original" page they were therefore identical. I haven't been keeping up with much UO news outside of this site recently, so if these differences have been reported elsewhere I'd've missed it. Again, my mistake. - [[User:Bomb Bloke|Bomb Bloke]] 11:17, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

== Moving Pages ==

Don't delete the automatic redirect created when moving a page. Especially for a very popular page which has been up for several days at least. By now all those pages are linked from other websites and people will be confused to see a message that the page no longer exists. - [[User:JC the Builder|JC the Builder]] 19:20, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

* Ahh sorry, never thought about that. Regardless, I think I'm done on UOGuide so if you'd like to remove me from sysop that'd be fine. - [[User:GregStaats|GregStaats]] 15:00, 29 January 2009 (EST)

{{Infobox item
| name=The Most Knowledge Person

}}

'''The Most Knowledge Person''' is a [[Champion Spawn Artifact]], specifically a [[Replica]]. Like other Replicas there is an "original" version of the item that was originally available from an [[EM Event]]. The item is a shroud and as such occupies the [[robe]] [[Equipment Slots|equipment slot]].

The item's unusual name is typically considered a victim of poor translation to English from one of the Asian languages (the item being originally available from an EM event on an Asian [[Shard]]).

==Notes==
* Can be dyed using [[Pigments of Tokuno]]
* Can only be [[Blessed|blessed]] with an [[Item Bless Deed]] and not a [[Clothing Bless Deed]].

The '''Brave Knight of The Britannia''' is an [[Artifact]] [[Katana]] obtained from [[Champion Spawns]]. It is considered a [[Replica]], as it is copied from an item obtained from an [[EM Event]]. Message board posts from rares collectors suggest that not every version of this weapon had the [[Hit Harm]] effect, but it is in that form that it was made into a Replica.

The Robe of Britannia "Ari"

2009-01-29T01:29:28Z

GregStaats: Ari moved to The Robe of Britannia "Ari": corrected name

The Shroud of Ari is a [[Champion Spawn Artifact]], a [[Shroud]], available only from [[The Harrower]]. It is one of a category of [[Artifact]] referred to as [[Replicas]], because they were modeled off of items first made available through [[EM Event]]s.

It offers +10 Physical Resist, and its original color is purple.

Plants & Seeds

2009-01-29T00:41:59Z

GregStaats: /* Breedable Plants */ more imgs

{{tocright}}[[Image:Seed.png|frame|left|A seed.]]
'''Seeds''' are small items that can be used for growing '''Plants''' via [[Gardening]]. They each [[Weight|weigh]] one [[stone]] and cannot be stacked. Seeds are initially gained as [[loot]] from certain creatures, but most varieties are grown by breeding multiple generations of plants.

 
==Breedable Plants==
Certain creatures drop Plain, Red, Blue or Yellow seeds. Seeds obtained via combat always produce plants of one of three varieties:

* [[Image:Fern.png]] Ferns
* [[Image:Campion_Flowers.png]] Campion Flowers
* [[Image:Tribarrel_Cactus.png]] Tribarrel Cacti

Such seeds will be named according to their color (eg "Red Seed"), however if a plant is grown and then bred with ''itself'' it will produce ''descriptive'' seeds of the same type (eg "Red Tribarrel Cactus Seed").

Breeding different combinations of these seeds together can produce more colors and plant varieties. Any plant that provides seeds can produce a total of eight over it's lifetime.

The initial starting seeds are dropped by:

* [[Bogling]]s
* [[Bog Thing]]s

 

==Plant Breeding Chart==
''ToDo: Details on what happens when you cross plant X with plant Y. Check the chart on [http://uo.stratics.com/content/basics/crosspollination.shtml Stratics] for now, it's great. :)''

 
==Resource Growing Plants==
Some plants produce resources which can be harvested via the [[Gardening#Growing Plant Seeds/Resources|Plant Resource GUMP]]. Up to eight units can be harvested from any given plant.

[[Green Thorn]]s, which produce various random effects, are produced by '''Bright Green''' plants of these types:
* [[Image:Snake_Plant.png]] Snake Plants
* [[Image:Barrel_Cactus.png]] Barrel Cacti

[[Red Leaves]], which lock the contents of books, are produced by '''Bright Red''' plants of these types:
* [[Image:Ponytail_Palm.png]] Ponytail Palms
* [[Image:Elephant_Ear_Plant.png]] Elephant Ear Plants
* [[Image:Century_Plant.png]] Century Plants

[[Orange Petal]]s, which provide high levels of poison resistance, are produced by '''Bright Orange''' plants of these types:
* [[Image:Pampas_Grass.png]] Pampas Grasses
* [[Image:Poppies.png]] Poppies
* [[Image:Bulrushes.png]] Bulrushes

[[Cocoa Pulp]], which is used as a [[Cooking]] ingredient, is produced by [[#Cocoa Trees (Fragrant Seeds)|Cocoa Tree]]s.

[[Poppies Dust]], which is used to ID unnamed seeds, is produced by the "peculiar" style of poppies.

 

==Mutant Plants==
Mutants are grown from specially coloured seeds, but cannot be bred and do not produce more. They are typically obtained by completing the [[Naturalist Quest]], and come in aqua, pink, magenta, black, white and fire red.

Any plant that can produce seeds (aside from the [[Cocoa Tree]]) also has a chance of producing black or white mutants instead of the color they normally would. Such seeds are very rare.

Seeds obtained via the quest will be of the same type as [[#Breedable Plants|breedable]] or [[#Peculiar Plants|peculiar]] plants.

 

==Bonsai Plants==
With the advent of [[Ultima Online: Samurai Empire]], certain creatures in the [[Tokuno Islands]] have a chance of dropping special Bonsai seeds. The seed name corresponds to the names listed below.
For example, an uncommon bonsai comes from an uncommon seed. There are eight varieties:

* [[Image:Common_Bonsai_Tree.png]] Common Bonsai Tree (also available in green)
* [[Image:Uncommon_Bonsai_Tree.png]] Uncommon Bonsai Tree (also available in green)
* [[Image:Rare_Bonsai_Tree.png]] Rare Bonsai Tree (also available in green)
* [[Image:Exotic_Bonsai_Tree.png]] Exotic Bonsai Tree
* [[Image:Exceptional_Bonsai_Tree.png]] Exceptional Bonsai Tree

Similar to mutants, Bonsai cannot be bred to produce more seeds.

All forms are dropped by:

<table><tr><td>
* [[Bake Kitsune]]
* [[Deathwatch Beetle]]
* [[Fan Dancer]]
* [[Hiryu]]
</td><td>
* [[Kappa]]
* [[Lesser Hiryu]]
* [[Oni]]
* [[Rune Beetle]]
</td><td>
* [[Yamandon]]
* [[Yomotsu Elder]]
* [[Yomotsu Priest]]
* [[Yomotsu Warrior]]
</td></tr></table>

 

==Peculiar Plants==
Peculiar seeds began appearing with [[Publish 55]] and can grow 16 new plant varieties (one of which comes in two facings, for a total of 17). These plants cannot be cross-pollinated and do not produce new seeds nor resources. Instead, they are only dropped by certain monsters.

It was initially decided that no coloured Peculiar plants would be available, but due to a bug which caused the [[Naturalist Quest]] to produce nothing ''but'' coloured Peculiar Cactus plants, [[Publish 56]] will make both [[#Breedable Plants|standard]] and peculiar plants available from the same quest.

The seeds are divided into four groups of four (except for Group 1 which has 5 seeds so there is a 20% chance of receiving each seed) which are each dropped by three monsters. For example, if you want to get a twisted Cypress Tree you must kill monsters from the second group. As the seeds are unlabeled either have to wait until the seed reaches the 7th stage of growth or use the resource poppies dust to identify the seed type. Assuming you harvested from the correct monster, you have a 20% change of receiving the seed in Group 1 you are after and a 25% chance for the seeds in all other groups.

</center>

 

==Cocoa Trees (Fragrant Seeds)==
[[Image:Cocoa tree.gif|frame|right]]
Fragrants seeds began appearing with [[Publish 55]] and are used to grow the [[Cocoa Tree]], which in turn can not be cross-pollinated.

Whenever a creature would drop a [[#Peculiar Plants|Peculiar seed]], there is a chance a Fragrant seed will be dropped instead. They are hence collected from the same creatures but at a lower drop rate. Unlike peculiar plants, they do grow further Cocoa Tree Seeds.

In addition they produce [[Cocoa Pulp]], a consumable resource used by [[Cooking|cooks]] as a key ingredient to create chocolate confection preparations, namely [[Cocoa Butter]] and [[Cocoa Liquor]].

The Chocolatiering branch of the [[Cooking]] skill was introduced with [[Publish 50]] on [[Valentines 2008|St. Valentine's Day 2008]] but cocoa pulp and cocoa trees did not appear until [[Publish 55]], nearly 6 months later.

 
==Ungrowable Plants==
Some plants are available as decorative items outside of the [[Gardening]] system.

* [[Bamboo]]
* [[Yucca Tree]]
