¶ Planting
In Chronicles of Arcadia, planting is a part of the crafting system that allows players to grow plants for resources, with each step from seed to harvest requiring attention and care.
¶ Seed Planting and Growth Management
Planting begins with placing seeds in the correct pots. Using the right pot is crucial, as incorrect ones increase the need for water and fertilizer. Managing the levels of irrigation and fertilization is a continuous task, with the rate of consumption and the plant's health dependent on the pot level and the quality of consumables used. Plant health, monitored through growth cycles, directly affects the yield and quality of the harvest. Keeping plants within the optimal growth zones, marked blue for water and green for compost, is essential for maintaining health and maximizing output.
- Irrigation and Compost: Essential for plant growth, with ideal levels near the red line in blue and green zones.
- Health Influence: Health, influenced over 24 hours, affects harvest results.
- Feed Drop Rate: Dependent on pot level, consumables, and seed-pot compatibility.
- Planting Locations: Supplies are available in various game locations like Varanas Lower City West and Obsidian Stronghold.

¶ Planting Levels and Consumables
The game offers a progression system for planting, ranging from Apprentice to Legend levels, each with its own requirements and rewards. The consumables, crucial for plant growth, include water (irrigation) and dirt (fertilizer or compost). Higher level consumables provide better benefits, reducing the consumption rate and improving plant health.

¶ Seeds, Pots and Titles
The size of the harvest from seeds is affected by several factors, including plant health, planting level, and certain planting titles. Rare materials can sometimes be harvested from specific seeds. Different pots have varying base drain rates, and special pots available in the item shop offer significant reductions in drain rate. Titles, which are obtained through specific achievements in planting, are divided into series such as Gardening, Plant Friend, Verdant, and Master.
