Dialogue Guide

Spoiler: show

PART 1:
Ivy: Oh, today has been so frustrating!
Ruler: What's wrong, Ivy? Nothing serious, I hope!
Ivy: No. I'm just disappointed. I wanted to plant new flowers, but I am out of space!
Ruler: Hmm... I wonder if there is a way to create a more compact garden? Compact plants... Oh! I wonder if I could breed some new smaller plants species!
Ruler: I'm sure with your s****s you could totally do it!
Ivy: Aww, shucks! Thanks, Ruler! I'm excited! I'm going to get started on plant research right away!
Ruler: Excellent! I hope we can increase the kingdom's output with this!


PART 2:
Old Thomas: Hello, Young Ruler! You seem rather busy, and I have not seen Ivy in ages! Could I be of any assistance?
Ruler: Hello, Old Thomas! Ivy and I have been experimenting with space-efficient plant life! And right now I think she is researching...
*A loud BOOM can be heard in the distance...*
Old Thomas: My goodness! Miss Ivy, are you okay?!
Ivy: I thought I almost had it! Buy my cauldron exploded, and you can the result... Maybe a larger cauldron would help?
Old Thomas: I am certain I have read of similar plant work before... I just need to find the scroll! In the meantime, make sure you have a Storage Cellar! I will explain when I return!
Ruler: Wow! Look at Old Thomas go! He must be as excited about this as we are!
Ivy: It certainly seems so! I wonder what he meant about needing a Storage Cellar... Oh well! In the meantime, let's get back to work! After I take a quick bath.


PART 3:
Old Thomas: I have returned, Young Ruler! And with the scroll as promised!
Ruler: Very good, Old Thomas! What did you find out?
Old Thomas: Ahem. According to "Hefty Harvests ad Happy Horticulture", we must build an Arboretum!
Ivy: Ooo~ What is that? It sounds fancy!
Old Thomas: You see, Miss Ivy, one can combine the properties of two plants into one hybrid plant! It is simply magnificent!
Ivy: Wow! That's like exactly what we needed! Excellent!
Old Thomas: Once we build an Arboretum, you can experiment with hybrid plant life!
Ivy: So we can make all sorts of new plants?
Old Thomas: Precisely! I am excited to record our discoveries!
Ruler: The possibilities seem endless! Let's build this Arboretum! I hope that with the new plants we can make our kingdom even more beautiful!


PART 4:
Ivy: I'm so excited! I want to get working on my super flowers right away!
Ruler: As do I! I think we can really beautify and better the kingdom with these new plants!
Old Thomas: Yes, very good. But before you two start, I need to explain about the Storage Cellar. The Arboretum can ONLY use plants stored within the Storage Cellar.
Ruler: So I need to place Ivy's plants in the Storage Cellar?
Old Thomas: Yes! This way we do not use plants that you had not intended to breed. So place any plants for the Arboretum in the Storage Cellar first!
Ivy: Okay, that makes sense! I'll grab my plants and place them in the Storage Cellar!

I just got a new quest. Flower Fusion

Attachment 35532

The living wood requirement auto-completed when I collected an adventure from the barracks.

Part 2
Have storage cellar
Visit Thomas x2

Part 3
Sorry I can't remember exact wording

Buy arboretum (15000 coins?)
Build it

Part 4
Craft Iceland poppy shrub (press fuse and it takes Iceland poppy, 2 lumin essences and water from your inventory, duration 1 day)

Reward 5 gems

Lots of shrubs and topiaries you can craft

Yep...the reward at the end, I guess, is the Arboretum. I see it in the Market place.

Gotta wait on Ivy though since I wasn't planning on an update today.

Hey, S8. You keep giving us items to place on our game board but no expansions! We need expansions to place them or, otherwise, something has to go in storage :(

Thanks, zoroak, for posting the steps.

I collected Simple Glue I was crafting before for the Icy Castle goal from the Potion Shop and the goal checked off

I'm happy I can get a new building without spending gems. But, yes we need more room. Please expand.

Craft Iceland puppies? I already have like 50 of them!

It has a little gem on the upper right side - does this mean there will be something that gives gems? - I hope!!!

Just saw the 5 gem reward in an earlier post!

My thoughts exactly. I guess Ivy needed something to do :D. She's been twiddling her thumbs lately.
