Revision 8

Ficus Seeds is a Common-tier seed in Windrose used to grow the Ficus Sapling, a renewable Wood source. Seeds plant at a ground location with a roughly 1-hour real-time growth cycle, and every harvest refunds 1 seed to keep the loop renewable.

Summary

How to Obtain

• 0-1 per harvest, 100% chance per attempt from wild Ficus plants

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

Growth

Per harvest yield: 3-5 Trees plus 1 Ficus 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.

The sapling places directly on the ground without a Seedbed and without any Fertile Soil cost. That makes ground plants like Ficus the cheapest renewable resource loop in the game, since they never compete with your limited Seedbed capacity.

Harvesting a grown Ficus is also fast: a Ficus tree falls in only about 1 to 3 chops, far quicker than the 5 or more swings a normal tree needs, and a dense cluster can return 3 or more Wood along with Plant Fiber per swing. That speed is why planted Ficus stands are a go-to early and mid-game wood farm.

Uses

Ficus saplings are primarily a renewable Wood and Plant Fiber source, and the grown tree also works as a decorative base-building option. For bulk supply, pair planted stands with the Farming Contractor in Tortuga to automate collection.
