InMetaphor: ReFantazio, indulging in various pastimes in your spare time is essential to pass the time. This helps advance days toward key objectives and brings you closer to important events. While on the Gauntlet Runner, new side activities, like gardening, become available as Nueras modifies the vessel throughout the story.
Your first experience with gardening comes when you’re given a few free seeds to plant, which introduces you to the activity. It’s hard to pass up this side endeavor when it yields consumables that boost Archetype XP. Here’s everything you need to know about gardening and where to find seeds to get started.
How To Garden
Gardening unlocks once you’vecompleted your escapades in Martiraandset off for Brilehaven. To start gardening, theGauntlet Runner must be active and moving, and you’ll need tohead to the lounge and interact with the Plant Culture ChamberIgniter to begin the activity.
Of course,you’ll need seeds to kick off your gardening efforts, but yourfirst interaction with the Igniter provides a free Hero’s Fruit Seedto plant. The activity willconsume one time block, and yourharvest will be ready the next day. Thankfully,collecting your crops doesn’t use up any time,nor does the Gauntlet Runner need to be runningfor harvesting.
How To Get Seeds
There arethree types of seedsyou can use for gardening,each yielding items, or fruits to be precise, that boost Archetype XP. While theseseeds are indefinitely purchasable, you won’t find them all in one place.
Thehigher the quality of the seed, thegreater the XP boostits fruit provides. To balance gameplay, theavailability of higher-quality seeds is restricted to later regions, with the best seeds only accessible toward the endgame.
As you progress, you’ll naturallyreplace lower-quality seeds with better ones, as there’slittle incentive to use the weaker options once superior seedsare unlocked. Below is where you can find each type of seed and what they yield.
