Question About Cultivating Visual and Product

[HooblaDan]

When you cultivate, do you create a little plant on the ground or is it just a panel interface?

I loved farming in LotRO just because the plant would show up on a field and you got to harvest it there, I thought it was great fun. I am aware that in WAR growing plants takes a while, but if there is a visual impact on the game world, like a little potted plant next to my enemy's corpse, it would be a tad more fun for me. LotRO brings me to another point...

Do I get to grow drug-type stuff? It would be great fun, and this might swing whether or not I choose to take it.

I know that WAR is far from being LotRO, and I wouldn't want it to be LotRO, but those two things would be pretty cool, at least for me!

No, you carry the pot with you but its really more like a screen where everything is growing... however, it shows the plants during each phase with some pretty good still artwork. It stays with you because rendering all those things would probably play hell on the servers if everybody planted crap everywhere... sometimes for the heck of it; and also so that you can cultivate easily while running around doing things and not have to literally "farm" for it in some boring spot.

Everything takes around the area of about 5 minutes to grow; at least around the first few levels, but after that you would presumeably be getting more plots to make more than one at a time. Fungus grows in like 3 minutes though.

No you dont get anything that cant be used for potions I dont think, but it would be nice if you could make something BESIDES just potions with apothecary... I mean where are my bottles of acid and poison? comeon!

It seems like there might be the possibility of growing for dyes though. That is still Apothocary but very useful for vanity items.

I enjoyed farming in LOTRO too but the disadvantage is that you have to stay there and harvest your crop. In WAR, since you take the crop with you, you can go on with your adventure while your crop grows.
