11 Pepper Sapling is a Seedbed-only farming plant in Windrose. Once mature it can be harvested for Cayenne Pepper and Pepper Seeds, and because the harvest returns a fresh seed it reseeds itself with no net loss.

88 This plant only grows inside a player-built Seedbed. A Seedbed section is crafted with 5 Fertile Soil each and placed through the build menu under the Farming tab. Each section accepts up to four plants, one in each corner. Walk up to an empty corner with the Pepper Sapling in the inventory and place it from the radial menu.

1010 Pepper Sapling is obtained as a drop from harvesting wild Cayenne Pepper plants in the world. There is no vendor that sells seeds or saplings, so the first stack of any plant has to be foraged. The Fertile Soil used to build the bed is mined from Ancient Farm ruins in the Foothills.

1414 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.

1616 Press E on a mature plant to harvest. The harvest yields 2 to 3 Cayenne Pepper plus a fresh seed of the same plant, so a single sapling effectively reseeds itself with no net seed loss. The Seedbed needs no watering or fertilizer between cycles; replant the returned seed into the same corner to keep the row running.

2020 Cayenne Pepper is a kitchen staple used to upgrade plain dishes into spiced versions with stronger buffs, and a small pepper row pays for itself quickly once the player unlocks intermediate cooking recipes.

2424 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.Pair the pepper row with other Farming plants in the same Seedbed cluster so a single harvest run refills the whole pantry.
