Revision 2

Lime Sapling is a ground-planted farming tree in Windrose. Unlike most farm crops it does not need a Seedbed and can be planted directly on suitable soil. Once mature it can be harvested for Lime and Lime Seeds.

Properties

Planting

Unlike most farm crops, this sapling does not need a Seedbed. It is planted directly on the ground in any soil tile owned by the player. Walk up with the Lime Sapling in the inventory and select Plant on the radial menu while looking at clear ground.

Lime Sapling is obtained as a drop from harvesting wild Lime trees in the world. Saplings cannot be bought from any merchant.

Growth and Harvest

Plants in Windrose take roughly 70 minutes of real time to grow to full size. Growth continues while the player is offline, so a freshly planted sapling will be ready next session. When ripe, the plant changes to a fully matured model with a faint highlight on inspection.

Press E on a mature plant to harvest. The harvest yields the listed crop plus a fresh seed of the same plant, so a single sapling effectively reseeds itself with no net seed loss.

Notes

Limes are a high-tier cooking ingredient and the historical pirate remedy for scurvy, which the in-game cooking recipes echo with bonus stamina or scurvy-resistance dishes built around the citrus.

Tips

• Always harvest the seed back. Walking away from a finished plant before pressing E does not consume the seed, but breaking the plant with a tool will.

• Pack a stack of saplings before sailing far. Harvested wild plants drop saplings inconsistently, and a small portable supply means the home base never runs dry of starter stock.

• Saplings do not decay in inventory, so it is safe to overstock and replant only as space frees up in the seedbed.
