¶ Green Thorn
Green Thorns are a special botanical resource grown by players using the Gardening System.
They are harvested from Bright Green Snake Plants and Bright Green Barrel Cacti, both of which are hybridized plants you can grow through cross-pollination.
They serve as usable consumable items that trigger unique world effects when planted in various types of terrain.
¶ How to Obtain Green Thorns
¶ 1. Get the Right Seeds
You’ll need seeds for Bright Green Snake Plants or Bright Green Barrel Cacti.
These can be obtained by cross-pollinating plants in your garden.
For example: crossing certain color variants of Snake Plant or Barrel Cactus has a chance to produce the “Bright Green” mutation.
Seeds may also be sold or traded by other players who specialize in botany.
¶ 2. Grow and Harvest the Plant
- Use a plant bowl filled with dirt.
- Plant the seed and tend it daily (water, cure disease, remove pests, etc.).
- Once fully matured, harvest the plant.
- The yield from Bright Green plants will include Green Thorns as the special resource (up to 2).
¶ How to Use Green Thorns
The magic of Green Thorns lies in where you plant them — their effect changes depending on the terrain you target.
You “plant” a Thorn by double-clicking it in your backpack and targeting a valid patch of ground.
After use, the Thorn disappears, and the effect happens instantly (or nearly instantly).
Note: Valid patches of ground spawn randomly around the world.
They can be identified via their tooltip: “a spot to plant” when you press Ctrl.
¶ Terrain Effects
| Terrain Type | Result / Effect |
|---|---|
| Dirt | A few bags with magery reagents bursts from the ground. |
| Farmersfield | A Vorpal Bunny spawns — a cute but deadly magical rabbit that attacks you. Defeating it can yield unique loot or gold. |
| Snow / Ice Terrain | A Ice Wyrm appears — a strong monster, useful for loot or combat challenges, can be tamed! |
| Swamp | Summons a Whipping Swamp Kentriplokame, a mutant swamp monster that can drop rare items when killed. |
| Desert | Opens a teleporter to a hidden solen nest that will disappear after a very(!) short duration. |
¶ Additional Notes
- Each Green Thorn is consumed when used.
- There is a cooldown (approximately 3 minutes) between plantings.
- Effects may vary depending on shard customization or event scripting.
- Green Thorns are tradeable and valued by gardeners, mages, and resource gatherers alike.
