Oh god. Another league where you have to enter another area to complete it. GG

Clicking on the seed cache will make the plants in your grove grow so you can simply click the cache and move forward if you want to make progress but don't feel like tending your garden right at that time.

It's also on YouTube if you want to find it there but we found the quality higher on vimeo which better suited the aesthetic of the garden.

So we get to go to a new area to plant those seeds and fight monsters? Hope I got it right, after deliruium, legion, etc. I wanna fight & craft in peace without map monsters all around. Wonder how will map mods affect this. Great stuff as always GGG, I'm really hyped.

That's right - you have to plant them in the garden. There will only be monsters around you if you decide so.

It's build as you go - constantly evolving.

It looks like they're still available from Delirium encounters. Also this still may change but so far notables still stack.

The seeds aren't tied to an instance. You can store them, trade them etc

uhm, what i didnt get - it said "harvest them when they are ready", so is it like a portal in a map that opens, and behind this portal is the garden, where i plant some seeds and then wait 10 minutes until they are ready, or what?

When you click on the seed cache it counts as one growth cycle. You don't need to enter your garden to grow the plants, just to plant or harvest them. It's not tied to the passage of time and your plants won't wither if you don't Harvest them.

You can keep seeds and use them later or trade them.

When you click the seed cache, Oshabi arrives with her portal. You can pass through the portal and I believe access the garden from your hideout but I need to double check that last part.

The current plan is that they still stack but you should expect balance changes.

So clicking on a seed cache = 1 cycle. In case there are a lot of seeds with different type and tier, how can we track the progress of growing seeds?

There might be more to this but you can eyeball the size of your plants and they appear differently when they're ready to Harvest.

Yes, if you enter the Sacred Grove inside a map, the monsters will inherit your map mods. Edit: Note that this wouldn't affect how much Lifeforce you gain from monsters. Edit 2: This is still up in the air.

Sorry if this was already covered, but is this something you have to go and click on between each map?

You'll find a seed cache in each area. When you get close to one, blue roots will appear beneath your feet and point you in the right direction so they're relatively easy to locate.

It's not the same at all. These drop from ONE point, not all over the map. This like how delirium fragments dropped when the map completed.

It's also worth noting that seeds drop in stacks.

You can absolutely control how many monsters you Harvest at any one time so you can choose to push your build as far as you'd like.

Yes, Arcanist Brand linked to multiple spells would result in them triggering in a sequence.

I don't think the cache is explicitly guarded be extra/special monsters.

Also, can it work with SRS? Having new ways to autocast them is always nice.

​This is correct. The brand is triggering your Blade Vortex spell, which inherently adds blades to you.

and the reason why brands can do this but mines can't is because mines aren't considered "you"?

Brands and mines are entirely different.

Mines are an entirely different entity from you, that are allowed to use one of your skills. They are the thing which is using that skill. They aren't given any of your other skills to use or trigger.

Brands are just the effect of one of your spells - just like a fireball or orb of storms. They aren't a separate object and can't have or use skills of their own. Having your brand trigger another skill is not inherently different from any other case where one skill you've used triggers another, such as cast on crit or cast while channelling.

there was a quick question I had regarding blade vortex: why does it work with totems but not mines or traps? is it because they're considered "living" like totems and, once they no longer exist, the blade vortex can no longer exist? blade vortex can't be supported by mine and trap supports at all.

There's no useful interaction there - they'd cast the spell, gain the blade, immediately die, lose the blade. It's the same reason they can't use Righteous Fire or auras. Any skill that applies an ongong thing to the caster doesn't work if the caster ceases to exist as a result of casting. Because it wouldn't work, making the support not apply is the best option, because otherwise it would be confusing to players when it supported the skill and looked like it never used it.

There is a theoretical case where it could actually do something, but unfortunately that's horribly abusable and thus can't be allowed - if you have the stats to allow your mines/traps to re-arm to detonate/be triggered an additional time, it would gain one blade, and then sit there not being targetable but dealing damage with the blade, until it dies after the second detonation.

That can't be allowed a) because we can't change supportability based on that modifier, and b) because it's abusable garbage. Blade Vortex is designed around the basic (and generally true) assumption that the thing that casts it will exist in a normal fashion and be able to be damaged by enemies while the blade is damaging things.

The seeds stay in your inventory.

I am extremely excited for this release, the league seems like a lot of what people have been asking for during the last several leagues and Harvest really makes it clear how much you listen to and care about the community.

The concept of crafting being a reward is fantastic and I can't wait to play!

Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy it.
