The Giving Grove 2018

The sun is shining and the birds are chirping – The Giving Grove is coming June 27 with new rewards. Gather your friends; you’ll need all the seeds you can get.

- How To Participate -

In the capital cities you will find three Magic Saplings and their gardener the Arbor Keeper. Speaking to the Arbor Keeper will give you a one-time quest, which provides you with a nutrient bundle. Upon opening the bundle you will be able to pick the nutrient corresponding to the sapling you wish to use it on (Robust, Shiny, and Solemn). Use the nutrient on the sapling to receive an Inferior Present and a Magic Tree Seed.

Upon obtaining 1,500 Magic Tree Seeds you can combine them to get a Fused Magic Tree Seed. You can use this seed to grow begin growing Magic Trees. There are three different trees, and each one has three stages. The higher a tree’s stage is, the better the rewards will be when you feed it nutrients.

Magic Tree Seeds are tradable so be sure to work together to grow the trees! The player that uses the Fused Magic Seed to grow the tree will be granted the corresponding Very Special Present which contains a unique title! If the tree is already at the final stage, using a Fused Magic Seed will still grant a present, but it will not be the same one as growing the tree.

Each tree offers different rewards, so be sure to use your nutrients or seed on the tree you want! Keep in mind, all three trees will return to their sapling forms during the weekly maintenance.

If you are looking for additional nutrients, you will automatically be granted one per hour you are logged in, up to a maximum of two per day. Prestige Pack holders can acquire five additional nutrients through a special survey they will receive once per week after the maintenance. You will also be able to obtain nutrients from certain bosses inside instances.
