Gardener

Gardener "It ain't much but its honest work."						Faction: Freeblade						Access Rune: Garden						Faction Boss: None						Difficulty: Easy

The gardener supplies multiple people and factions with fresh produce and basic alchemical potions, functioning between a lesser beast master and rosaria.

Stat Requirement

• None

Purpose

The gardener is the independent food supplier for the free blades who also doubles as an amateur alchemist. You have no real set task or goal beyond growing produce that can be eaten, sold to whoever desires it, or grind down in your basic alchemy lab to be mixed into weak healing potions or minor injectors. Your garden is not as huge as the beast master and you lack animals to make a proper kitchen with milk and eggs but you do come equipped with several alchemy stations that can extract the basic healing properties from various plants. With a bit of know how these can be further mixed, albeit imprecisely and with difficulty, into healing drinks and injections if you can get your hands on some needles.

As your own boss and without the need to work with others, you have a potential gold mine if you can make the right connections and sell to the right people. You otherwise do not make a wage, but the lack of easy medical access at times can make you and your fellow gardeners quite profitable margins if you take advantage of any medical supply shortages.

Tips

• Try to learn what chemicals naturally appear in what plants so you know what to grow, grind, and separate into healing potions.
• Consider asking the rune masters for a green fist golem to take care of your garden for you.
• Make sure to grind one or two bits of produce to make spare seeds so you never run out.

Unique Equipment

• Gardening tools - A general set and supply of gloves and tools meant to aid you in your work.
• Amateur Alchemy Lab - A mortar and pestle, centrifuge, and manual grinder with a selection of beakers and bottles for making potions.

Advanced Tips

• Some animal meats contain random or specific chemicals, consider getting ahold of them to improve your alchemy.
• You are one of the rare free blades to have a charging station, the other being the prospectors, let others use it... Or charge them for it.
• Getting ahold of rare magical tools used by the rosaria to transfigure plants could further improve your alchemy.
