== Overview ==
'''Floristry''' is an [[Alchemy]]-based crafting system that allows players to
create decorative potted plants and flowers for their homes. Using a
'''Florist Toolbox''' and various botanical materials, you can grow everything
from desert cacti to elegant orchids and cherry trees.

The '''Florist NPC''' is located on '''Main Street, next to the bank'''.

----

== Getting Started ==

=== What You Need ===
* '''Florist Toolbox''' — the required crafting tool for all floristry recipes.
Purchase one from the Florist NPC for 125 gold.
* '''Alchemy skill''' — used to determine crafting success. At minimum skill the
success chance is '''0%''', so higher Alchemy is strongly recommended before
attempting expensive recipes.
* '''Materials''' — Fertile Dirt is required for every recipe, plus a
'''Medium Flower Pot''' and one botanical ingredient depending on the plant
type (see [[#Recipes|Recipes]] below).

=== Skill Notes ===
Unlike most crafting systems, Floristry has a '''0% minimum success chance'''.
This means at very low Alchemy skill you will fail every attempt and lose
materials. Raise your Alchemy skill before investing in expensive ingredients
like Rose Sprouts or Orchid Petals.

There is no hard skill ceiling listed — the craft window scales with your
Alchemy skill level.

----

== Supplies & Prices ==

All floristry materials can be purchased directly from the Florist NPC:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Item !! Buy Price !! Sell Price !! Use
|-
| Florist Toolbox || 125 gp || 125 gp || Required crafting tool
|-
| Medium Flower Pot || 750 gp || 750 gp || Required for all recipes
|-
| Saplings || 125 gp || 125 gp || Used for cacti recipes
|-
| Orchid Petals || 850 gp || 850 gp || Used for potted plants
|-
| Cattail Sprouts || 250 gp || 250 gp || Sold by NPC (future use)
|-
| Rose Sprout || 5,000 gp || 5,000 gp || Premium ingredient
|}

{{tip|'''Fertile Dirt''' and '''Cloth''' are also required for several recipes
but are '''not''' sold by the Florist — gather or buy these from other sources.
Cloth comes from tailoring vendors; Fertile Dirt can be found in the world or
traded from other players.}}

----

== Recipes ==

All recipes share the same base requirement: '''1 Fertile Dirt''' and
'''1 Medium Flower Pot''', plus a botanical ingredient listed below.

=== Potted Cacti ===
Requires '''3 Cloth''' per recipe (in addition to Fertile Dirt and a Flower Pot).

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Item !! Notes
|-
| Small Potted Cactus || Compact desktop variety
|-
| Potted Cactus || Standard size
|-
| Medium Potted Cactus || Mid-size display piece
|-
| Medium Potted Cactus (alt) || Alternate style
|-
| Decorated Cactus || Festive variation
|-
| Large Cactus || Tall statement piece
|}

=== Potted Plants ===
Requires '''3 Orchid Petals''' per recipe (in addition to Fertile Dirt and a
Flower Pot). Orchid Petals cost 850 gp each from the Florist, making each
plant recipe cost '''2,550 gp''' in petals alone.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Item !! Notes
|-
| Crown of Thorns || Striking thorned decorative plant
|-
| Potted Amaryllis || Broad-leaved flowering plant
|-
| Potted Cattail || Tall marsh-style plant
|-
| Potted Cattail (alt) || Second cattail style
|-
| Potted Cherry Tree || Miniature blossoming tree
|-
| Japanese Maple || Elegant red-leaved accent tree
|-
| Potted Orchid || Delicate flowering orchid
|-
| Potted Sapling || Small young tree
|-
| Potted Elephant Fern || Large tropical fern
|}

{{tip|Potted Plants using Orchid Petals are the most material-intensive recipes.
Make sure your Alchemy skill is high enough to succeed reliably before spending
gold on petals.}}

=== Coming Soon ===
The crafting system includes framework for additional plant categories that are
not yet available. These include:

* '''Potted Columbines''' — 12 color variants (Aqua, Orange, Fuchsia, Green,
Lilac, Peach, Pink, Purple, Red, Yellow, Teal, White)
* '''Potted Mums''' — 12 color variants
* '''Potted Tea Roses''' — 12 color variants (requires Rose Sprouts)

These categories are currently disabled but may be enabled in a future update.

----

== How to Craft ==

# Purchase a '''Florist Toolbox''' from the Florist NPC.
# Gather your materials: Fertile Dirt, Medium Flower Pot, and the appropriate
botanical ingredient.
# '''Double-click''' the Florist Toolbox to open the Floristry crafting menu.
# Select the plant category and the specific plant you wish to create.
# Click to craft — success or failure is determined by your Alchemy skill.

On success you receive a deed or addon piece for the plant. On failure you may
lose some or all of your botanical materials depending on the roll.

----

== Tips & Strategies ==

* '''Raise Alchemy first''' — the 0% minimum success rate makes low-skill
crafting a pure materials sink. Aim for high Alchemy before spending on
Orchid Petals or Rose Sprouts.
* '''Cacti are cheapest to experiment with''' — Cloth (3 per attempt) is far
less costly than Orchid Petals, making Potted Cacti the best category for
practicing and raising skill.
* '''Medium Flower Pots are reusable in recipe terms but consumed on craft''' —
at 750 gp each, factor them into your per-attempt cost alongside the botanical
ingredient.
* '''Fertile Dirt''' is the one material you need to source elsewhere. Keep a
stock on hand before sitting down for a crafting session.
* Finished plants are '''house addon deeds''' — place them anywhere in your home
for colorful, unique décor that most players won't have.
* The Florist Toolbox has limited uses like other tools — buy extras if you plan
a long crafting session.

== Material Cost Per Attempt ==

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Recipe Category !! Fertile Dirt !! Flower Pot !! Ingredient !! Ingredient Cost !! Approx. Total
|-
| Potted Cacti || 1 || 750 gp || 3 Cloth || ~9 gp || ~760 gp
|-
| Potted Plants || 1 || 750 gp || 3 Orchid Petals || 2,550 gp || ~3,300 gp
|-
| Tea Roses (future) || 1 || 750 gp || 3 Rose Sprouts || 15,000 gp || ~15,750 gp
|}
