Dialogue

(if character is charr)

Back in my day, every cub outta the fahrar could use their own bare claws to grow enough provisions for ten charr, all while fighting ghosts! (grunt) It's a lost art. You need something, Legionnaire?

(otherwise)

Never thought I'd be working with a civilian. You're good at this—better'n the others. Maybe you can show 'em how it's done, huh? Let me know if you need anything.

I'd like some more seeds. (only if Black Lion Garden Plot Deed has been purchased)

Tell me how this works, old-timer.

All right. What would you like to know?

I'd like to see which seeds you're carrying. (only if Black Lion Garden Plot Deed has been purchased)

How does gardening work?

Gardening lets you customize the harvestable plants in your garden. You can choose what to grow in your garden by planting seeds—just make sure to come back and collect them once they've ripened.

I have some more questions.

Great, that's all I needed to know.

Where do I get seeds, and how do I plant them?

I can provide you with seeds. After you acquire a seed pouch from me, equip it by using the pouch in your inventory. You can then interact with open soil to plant the seeds here in your garden.

Anything else I should know?

One last thing: once you equip a seed pouch, you can plant your equipped seeds in multiple locations, so you don't need to equip a new seed pouch every time.

I have some more questions. (back to "Possibly. I have a question.")

Okay, got it.

I have some more questions.

Great, that's all I needed to know.

How long do plants take to grow?

Everything takes one day to mature and ripen, so you can harvest each crop in your garden once per day.

I have some more questions.

Great, that's all I needed to know.

What are "growing crops"?

Growing crops appear in soil you've sown, but they aren't quite ready to be harvested. You can wait for them to mature, or remove them if you want to plant different seeds in their place.

Is there any penalty for removing growing crops?

Not at all. If you remove growing crops and plant new seeds, you new seeds will mature at the same time and rate that the original crops would have matured. It's most efficient!

I have some more questions. (back to "Possibly. I have a question.")

Great, that's all I needed to know.

I have some more questions.

Great, that's all I needed to know.

Do I need to replant my crops after I harvest them?

Negative—crops replant themselves after you've harvested them. If you want to change what's been planted, interact with growing crops to remove them, then plant a new seed in the open soil.

I have another question.

Unterstood.

I've seen some rare and unusual plants in my travels. Can I grow those?

I can give you new kinds of seed pouches after you harvest enough of those plants in the wild. But only natural plants drop seeds, so the synthesizers in guild halls and the Mists won't work.

I have some more questions.

Okay.

How do I replant my garden if crops are already growing?

Interact with growing crops to remove them, then plant new seeds in their place. You won't get any resources from the plant you removed, but your new crops will grow back quickly.

I have some more questions.

Got it.

Actually, never mind.

Nothing right now, thanks.

Notes

Anomaly:

He calls all charr characters legionnaire, even those who have completed Chapter 3 of Personal story and should be ranked centurion.
