In order to get elemental traits, you can either buy them from seasonal shops when they are in-season, or cultivate them yourself! This is a multi step progress, but ultimately drains less elemental essences than buying them straight up - provided you have enough magic!
1. Unlocking Recipes
The first thing you will want to do is unlock the recipes for the cultivation items of whichever traits you want to cultivate. This can be done by completing elemental prompts. Elemental prompts are a one time thing, there is a total of one per element, and it will unlock recipes for all traits of that element and a cool award for you! Alternatively, you can get other users to craft the cultivation item for you, but beware who you trust with your items!
2. Gathering the Ingredients
Once you have the recipe, you know what you need to craft the cultivation item. The ingredients will always be like such:
- 1x Elemental Essence ingredient (buy for 10 elemental essence each at the Enchanted Terrace)
- 1x generic crafting ingredient (buy for 200 magic each at Hammer and Nails)
3. Crafting
Now, you will want to go to your crafting page. Under your unlocked recipes, the cultivation item for the trait of your choice should have been unlocked in step 1. Just craft the item!
4. Cultivation
With the cultivation item obtained, all that is left is to plant it in the right cultivation area & plot. If you need help with this, check out the cultivation guide and the quick guide!
