Revision 9

Cayenne Pepper Seeds is a Common-tier seed in Windrose used to grow Cayenne Pepper. Seeds plant at a Seedbed with a roughly 1-hour real-time growth cycle, and every harvest refunds 1 seed to keep the loop renewable.

Summary

How to Obtain

• 10-20% per wild Cayenne Pepper harvest

• Food Merchant sells Cayenne Pepper Seeds after the Coastal Jungle threat is cleared.

• Harvested Saplings also return the seed used, so once a player has one seed the loop is self-sustaining.

Growth

Per harvest yield: 2-3 Peppers plus 1 Pepper Seed per Sapling harvest.

The Sapling uses a 1-hour real-time growth cycle shared across every crop in Windrose. Crops continue to grow while the game is closed. There is no watering, no fertilizer, no sunlight rule, and no wilt state.

Place the seed in a Seedbed (built from 5 Fertile Soil, four planting slots at the corners). Seedbeds are unlocked after defeating the Coastal Jungle boss (Thomas Richards) and mining Fertile Soil from Ancient Farm ruins in the Foothills.

Uses

Cayenne Pepper feeds Tamale, Spicy Breaded Kebab, Meaty Croc Kebab, and other spicy-tagged dishes.
