Quest Progression
To start this quest, talk to the Jeremiah NPC in Greenhouse 9 at Hogsworth.
Dialogue
Jeremiah
- [1/3] Hey, thanks for helping me out back there.
- [2/3] It’s so nice that we’ve had every class together so far. It’s really helped me feel better about not knowing what I’m doing very much.
- [3/3] Anyways, it looks like we’re about to start. You should be able to head on over to the Herbology Professor when you’re ready.
Herbology Professor
- [1/4] So, this is Greenhouse 1! This is where we grow Asphodel and Puffing Pods.
- [2/4] These two plants are grouped together because they actually reverse photosynthesise with oxygen. Because of this, we keep them in a Greenhouse with a ton of non-magical plants.
- [3/4] The non-magical plants give them the oxygen they need to grow. Of course, we aid this with magic.
- [4/4] The plants need to be fully oxygenated to properly harvest. To achieve this, you each will take this.
Objective 1 - Speak with the Herbology Professor in Greenhouse 9
Description
Speak to the Herbology Professor at the head of the table to start the lesson.
Dialogue
- [1/6] Greetings! Welcome to Herbology.
- [2/6] Many of you will misjudge this class, but it is more than just flowers and magical fertilizer.
- [3/6] Moving on, let’s get started. Today I will be teaching you the basics of harvesting and how to identify useful magical plants out in the world.
- [4/6] I’ll ask you to harvest one of each of the plants we keep in Greenhouses 1-4. I’ll explain what is in each one as we go through them.
- [5/6] Keep in mind that one of the second years accidentally unpotted half our mandrakes during their lessons, so they will be roaming around. Any bright young student should be able to take care of them with the spells you learned in Duelling, like Vermillio. Don’t be afraid, and you’ll learn more about them next year.
- [6/6] I’ll meet you all in Greenhouse 1. It is the greenhouse right next to this one, to the north.
Objective 2 - Meet the Herbology Professor in Greenhouse 1
Description
Head to the greenhouse directly next to the one you started in, to the north.
Dialogue
- [1/5] So, this is Greenhouse 1! This is where we grow Asphodel and Puffing Pods.
- [2/5] These two plants are grouped together because they actually reverse photosynthesise with oxygen. Because of this, we keep them in a Greenhouse with a ton of non-magical plants.
- [3/5] The non-magical plants give them the oxygen they need to grow. Of course, we aid this with magic.
- [4/5] The plants need to be fully oxygenated to properly harvest. To achieve this, you each will take this [5 Enchanted Fertiliser] and use it on the non-magical plant near the plant you are trying to harvest.
- [5/5] This will accelerate the rate at which the plants produce oxygen, thus making more for the magical ones. You will then have a small period of time to harvest them with maximum yield. You’ll know this window is open when they sparkle white. Bring me back [1 Asphodel Lvl. 1] and [1 Puffing Pod Lvl. 1] when you are finished.
Objective 3 - Complete the Task in Greenhouse 1
Description
Use the [5 Enchanted Fertiliser] you got from the Herbology Professor to accelerate the non-magical plants in the Greenhouse. Then, harvest [1 Asphodel] and [1 Puffing Pod] and bring them back to the Herbology Professor.
Dialogue
- [1/2] Well done! These plants look fantastic. Meet me in Greenhouse 2 for your next assignment, it is right next to this one, to the north.
- [2/2] Keep in mind that, out in the world, you can harvest these plants at any oxygen level without having to use fertilisers. The process we are undergoing is to achieve the most useful, oxygenated plants.
Objective 4 - Meet the Herbology Professor in Greenhouse 2
Description
Head to the greenhouse directly next to Greenhouse 1, to the north.
Dialogue
- [1/6] Welcome to Greenhouse 2! This is where we grow Nightshade and Lunaplum.
- [2/6] Usually it is much darker in here. See, the greenhouse is enchanted to be permanently night because that is when these two plants grow the quickest.
- [3/6] However, it appears the Mandrake have broken the glass and thus nullified the enchantment.
- [4/6] We’ll have to repair the glass so we can harvest these plants and be on with the lesson. I would start by looking for spare glass on those shelves in the corner.
- [5/6] Once you find the glass, just place it in one of the holes and I will fix it in place with a spell.
- [6/6] After the greenhouse is fixed and the enchantment is working again, feel free to harvest [1 Nightshade] and [1 Lunaplum] and bring them back to me for credit.
Objective 5 - Complete the Task in Greenhouse 2
Description
Find [3 Spare Glass] in the cabinet in the corner of the greenhouse, and place it in the open holes in the greenhouse glass. Then, harvest [1 Nightshade] and [1 Lunaplum] and return them to the Herbology Professor.
Dialogue
- [1/2] Fantastic job! You repaired the greenhouse in record time and harvested the plants with finesse. You’re showing quite some promise so far.
- [2/2] For the next part, meet me in Greenhouse 3. It’s right across the walkway, to the east.
Objective 6 - Meet the Herbology Professor in Greenhouse 3
Description
Head to the greenhouse across the path from Greenhouse 2, to the east.
Dialogue
- [1/5] Finally, a greenhouse where everything appears to be in order…
- [2/5] Anyways, here it is! Greenhouse 3, where we grow Wormwood, Dittany, and Wolfsbane.
- [3/5] These three plants rely on the acidity in the soil that we add artificially. That’s what the crates on the side of the building are for.
- [4/5] They also don’t do too well planted near other plants, so we only have one of each in here well spread-out from each other.
- [5/5] Go ahead and harvest at least one of each of the three, that’s [1 Wormwood], [1 Dittany], and [1 Wolfsbane], and then bring them back to me to move on to the last part of the class.
Objective 7 - Complete the Task in Greenhouse 3
Description
Harvest [1 Wormwood], [1 Dittany] and [1 Wolfsbane] and bring them back to the Herbology Professor.
Dialogue
- [1/2] Well done! This task was pretty simple, but well done nevertheless…
- [2/2] Anyhow, we’ll be off to Greenhouse 4 now! It’s right next to this one, to the south.
Objective 8 - Meet the Herbology Professor in Greenhouse 4
Description
Head to the greenhouse directly next to Greenhouse 3, to the south.
Dialogue
- [1/6] Welcome to our final destination, Greenhouse 4! This is where we grow our Wrinklefig and Gurgle Weed.
- [2/6] As you may have guessed by their names, these plants require an extensive amount of water to thrive. The Gurgle Weed is most useful planted on or in water, and the Wrinklefig is most useful planted next to water on hyper-hydrated soil.
- [3/6] However, as you can plainly see, there is presently no water is this greenhouse. This is because the Gurgle Weed has been over-planted and is consuming water faster than the enchantments on this greenhouse can create it.
- [4/6] This is easily solveable, simply by pulling four of the plants. We need to be careful to pull them root and all, so follow my instructions closely!
- [5/6] You will see a menu when you go to pull these plants. The item you need to click is the one that resembles the plant you’re harvesting. If the Gurgle Weed is rooted in the top layer of soil, you need to pull lightly. RIGHT CLICK to do this. If it is rooted in the middle layer, you can LEFT CLICK to pull normally. If it is rooted all the way in the bottom layer, you’ll need to SHIFT + LEFT CLICK to pull strongly.
- [6/6] Once you’ve finished this and restored the balance in this room, collect me [1 Gugle Weed] and [1 Wrinklefig] (without the roots) and we’ll wrap up the lesson!
Objective 9 - Complete the Task in Greenhouse 4
Description
Pull up 4 Gurgle Weed by the specific instructions from the Herbology Professor, then harvest [1 Gurgle Weed] and [1 Wrinklefig] to return to them.
Dialogue
- [1/2] Well done, everyone, really. I rarely see a group of first-years with this much affinity for herbology.
- [2/2] That’s all for today! You can all run along to your next class now.
Objective 10 - Speak to Jeremiah
Description
Meet up with Jeremiah in your current greenhouse, Greenhouse 4, to talk about the class.
Dialogue
- [1/4] Hey again! Glad to see you made it through that class alive.
- [2/4] I could not for the life of me figure out that Gurgle Weed business, but you just absolutely killed it! Hats off to you, really.
- [3/4] Well, anyways, I have Charms next, do you?
- [4/4] Oh, fantastic! I’ll see you there! You should be able to use your [Class Schedule] to get there.
Tips
- Follow the green sparkles on the ground if you are unsure where the next greenhouse is.
- When plants sparkle white, the player is able to collect them.
