* Give the Professor lemonade 0/10 GIVE (skip 150 gems)

Clover: Nature will always grow back. The Duke won't be able to stop that.
Goal 4:
* Clear dead trees 0/5 GO
* Find the mysterious flowers 0/5 GO (skip 50 gems) |
you'll likely need to clear about 8 dead trees to get the 5 drops for this goal
Rewards: 100 coins, 10 xp
Congratulations: Clover: Wait a moment. What's that?
Clover: A flower this dark and dank needs a dim place to grow... search the Academy grounds, you'll find it.
Goal 5:
* Investigate the Sinister Statue 0/5 GO |
collect from the statue 5 times
* Find sinister seeds 0/5 GO (skip 250 gems) |
not guaranteed, so it will take a lot of collections to get enough seeds for this goal
Rewards: 100 coins, 10 xp
Congratulations: Clover: Aha! I knew it. That narcissist couldn't help but put these awful flowers near his ugly statue.
Clover: The Duke waters his plants with a sickening, noxious concoction. I think we can find a better way.
Goal 6:
* Visit ponds 0/5 GO
* Gather algae water 0/5 GO (skip 125 gems)
Rewards: 100 coins, 10 xp
Congratulations: Clover: Now that's much better! Water like that is sure to change the way those flowers grow.
Clover: Ah, Ruler! You're here! Just in time... I have a few items I'm going to need you to source for me.
Goal 7:
* Gather sinister seeds 0/20 GO (skip 1000 gems) |
previous inventory does not count, you have to gather 20 new sinister seeds for this goal. You can however GIVE the 5 you have already in inventory to the 25 needed below first. Same for the other gather/give goals below but be warned.... if you GIVE first you reset the counter for the GATHER goal if you don't have the GATHER goal ticked off, so best to wait.
* Give the Professor sinister seeds 0/25 GIVE
* Gather algae water 0/45 GO (skip 1125 gems)
* Give the Professor algae water 0/50 GIVE
* Gather golden nuggets 0/15 GO (skip 1200 gems)
* Give the Professor golden nuggets 0/15 GIVE |
if you are maxed on golden nuggets, you can give them to this part first. What you gather will count toward the goal regardless if you're maxed on this item though, but you will not receive over the cap of 99.
Rewards: 100 coins, 10 xp
Congratulations: Clover: That ought to do it! Just a bit of Glimmerdust to sprinkle on top and this potion is exactly what that plant needs.
Clear any monsters from your board for this goal. The Wild Plant needs to spawn. If you have a monster on your board and the Wild Plant doesn't spawn, you will need to collect another 5 sinister seeds and do the craft again.
Clover: Let's see what happens now!
Goal 8:
* Grow the Strange Seed 0/1 GO |
Potion Shop, 5 minutes - 5 sinister seeds |
you need to collect another 5 sinister seeds as the 25 gathered so far have been used against goal 7
Rewards: 100 coins, 10 xp
Congratulations: Clover: Oops... Perhaps I did not have that recipe just right...
Clover: Only a worthy gardener will be able to vanquish this foe.
Goal 9:
* Defeat the wild plant 0/1 GO |
75/75 hits to defeat. Note: does not return energy
Rewards: 100 coins, 10 xp, +1 academy flowers

Dialogue: -
HUGE thanks to SylvanSanctuary for providing the text for us! Really appreciate it!
Goal 1:
Professor Clover: ...
Petrichor: Oh! I know him! This is Professor Clover, the Herbology instructor!
Professor Clover: ...
Petrichor: Professor Clover? Can you hear me?
Professor Clover: Hmmph.
Ruler: Is he all right?
Petrichor: I don't know... but I know from experience that it isn't fun to wake up from being a statue. There are some things around this realm that should help him feel better. Especially plants... he loves plants.
Ruler: We can definitely help out with some plants!
Goal 2:
Professor Clover: So the Duke finally did it then, didn't he?
Ruler: Finally?
Professor Clover: That old miser has been threatening to take over the school and punish the kids for years. I should have tried to stop him... I didn't think he was serious. I've always hated that miserable coot. He couldn't stand the way I ran the Herbology department. He fancied himself a bit of a green thumb, I think, so he always had complaints to make about my curriculum. You know, my mouth is still burning from that incredible feast you gave me. I'd love to talk more about my time with the Duke but I'd love a drink first.
Goal 3:
Professor Clover: How do I know you aren't all working for the Duke?
Petrichor: Professor! I would never. I was a statue just like you until this ruler woke me up. The Duke trapped us all in stone...and I mean EVERYONE. We're waking up as many of our classmates as we can, one at a time.
Professor Clover: I can't believe how much damage that monster has done to the school. Everything at the Academy completely frozen in time, just so he could have his perfect class.
Ruler: What do you mean?
Professor Clover: He was always talking about it...some grand plan to "get the children in line." I never imagined he'd do something like this.
Goal 4:
Professor Clover: It's all gone...everything I worked on. All my plants are gone. Completely overwhelmed by the years. There's nothing left.
Petrichor: I'm sorry, Professor.
Professor Clover: Call me Horton now, Petrichor. We're in this together now. I'll never forgive the Duke for what he's done. This is all his evil machinations.
Ruler: We need to fight back against him. That's why we've been waking you all up. You are the ones who can help us get rid of the Duke once and for all.
Professor Clover: I don't know, child. My years of battling evil wizards are long behind me. The Duke even got my favorite roses...they're completely lost to time now. I may not be able to help you directly, but I'll do what I can.
Goal 5:
Professor Clover: Hmmph.
Ruler: What's wrong, Horton?
Professor Clover: I recognize that flower...That's the Duke's bougainvillea. He thought he was so clever getting these to grow. It's a tricky plant and it does take quite a bit of work to make this plant flourish. Something about the plants he used to grow was just... not right.
Ruler: The smell is so strong.
Professor Clover: It's a pungent bloom, that's certain, but this variant is as bad as the worst weed. It'll choke any of your other plants if we let it grow unchecked. We've got to see if we can't find where it's coming from.
Goal 6:
Professor Clover: I hate these flowers almost as much as I hate that old Duke. We might not be able to rid the realm of them completely, but with the right ingredients, we might be able to get this plant to be a little more friendly. It might take a hint of magic to get this done. It was a magical school, after all!
Ivy: Did someone say magic?
Ruler: Ivy, were you waiting over there for one of us to say "magic"?
Ivy: What? Me? Never!
Goal 7:
Ivy: All right, Ruler, I've had some time to look at these flowers and work with the Professor. These flowers are no good. There's definitely something not right about them. I placed the Duke's bougainvillea next to a regular Larkspur and the Larkspur wilted! We've got to get them out of the realm as soon as we can. Luckily for us, Professor Horton is on to something, I think. He's been working all day in the Potion Shop! Come with me, I'll show you.
Goal 8:
Professor Clover: Now these are lovely ingredients, Young Ruler! Do you like growing plants yourself?
Ruler: I do, actually. I find myself farming a lot.
Professor Clover: Ahh, you're modest, I can tell! I'll bet you've grown some fantastic plants. I can tell you really care about the earth... not like the Duke. He wants to exploit it. That's why I'm going to cure his bougainvillea of its ills, turn it into a proper plant! With this potion, we can change the way his plant grows so that it will be docile. It'll be our own hybrid flower, and it will fight against his choking flower! I had Miss Ivy's help to brew this potion, though it's my own recipe. All we have to do is add it to the seeds you gathered and get it into the dirt. Come on! We'll show that miserable old codger how to grow a plant!
Goal 9:
Professor Clover: Perhaps I mixed these numbers up .. Oh, how could I be so empty-headed? I've created a monster!
Ruler: It's all right, Professor. You've been in stone for decades! It's going to take some time to feel normal again.
Professor Clover: You are right, young Ruler. Yet another thing the Duke has stolen from me. But I'm not going to let him win! I am going to fix this potion and fix his plant, once and for all. I just need your help.
