In Genshin Impact, Growing Ingredients is a mini-game in Patch 4.5 and part of the Alchemical Breakthrough event. As part of it, you will have to cultivate plants to obtain new materials for making potions, research ingredients to increase their level, and buy alchemical fertilizers to speed up the growth of flowers.
By fulfilling certain conditions when growing ingredients, you will be rewarded with source stones, mora and other valuable items, and will also open access to new potions, which will allow you to receive more money. In this guide, we will tell you how to complete all levels of the challenge.
How to start Growing Ingredients
First, you will need to complete the starting chapter of the event storyline called “Miraculous Potions” in order to take control of the potion shop. Your first task will be to grow ingredients in the cultivation area.
The essence and rules of the event
The first stage in the production of your elixirs. Each cultivation zone is designed to grow specific ingredients. Ripening lasts for a number of trading cycles, after which the plants can be harvested. Then, by default, the cultivation area will begin to grow the previously selected ingredients. If the destination is changed, the cultivation progress will be lost.
As your alchemy level increases, more ingredients can be unlocked. You can also spend money on expanding your cultivation area and growing more plants. Don't forget to research ingredients to consume them and gain the experience required to increase the level of materials.
Funds can be used to purchase special alchemical fertilizers that can speed up the ripening of ingredients and collect them immediately after planting. In this case, the amount of expenses will depend on the number of sales cycles that remain before the ingredients mature.
