Dynasty Warriors: Online/Gardening

Gardening is an additional feature implemented in the Dragon Strike update of Dynasty Warriors: Online. By cultivating seeds all over their garden, the player can grow plants and use them to produce raw materials needed for crafting items. While the garden's initial layout has enough plot for beginners to cultivate, additional space can be purchased by spending Musou Coins or Aeria Points.

Plants grow with water which consumes 1 zest point per watering. The player's zest fully replenishes itself every 24 hours and increases in capacity as their cultivation levels rise. Once a plant reaches level 4, they can be harvested within 2 weeks in real-time before they wither; it's possible to extend their life span by using mulch. If a plant dies, they leave behind a seed available for replanting.

Note that flowers and trees take up different portions of plot space; flowers need only 1 unit of space and can grow in groups while trees require 4 units and may cause slow frame rates if too much are planted in the same area.

If the player wishes to raise their cultivate level even more, they are given the option of watering plants for their friends. Caring for another person's garden may even reward the player with random items. The benefits of doing so are amplified the more friends a player has.

Cultivating Experience Table
The player earns 1 experience point each time one of their plants grow one level while harvesting yields 2 points.

Seed Bags
Seed bags are obtained either as item drops, gifts from lieutenants, or from the nymph at the Kunlun Mountains in exchange for old coins. Alternatively, the player may opt to purchase grown saplings from the antique dealer, though each one costs 6 Musou Coins. The color of a seed bag reflects the type of dye one can make from them.
