Gardening in Wizard101 is one of the main side activities of the game. It may not be an easy task to start, but it surely is rewarding. One of gardening’s main elements are its spells. These gardening spells are specifically to be used while your wizard is tending to plants in their castle. For an introduction to gardening, take a look at our beginner’s guide.
How do I obtain a gardening spell?
Unlike regular spells you use in combat, you won’t be needing any training points to obtain gardening spells. These spells are purchased for gold from specific vendors spread throughout the different worlds of the Spiral. Each vendor has a different set of spells for you to learn, allowing you to grow and better take care of your garden.
Currently, there are 45 gardening spells you can learn spread over seven different spell trainers. We’ll take a look at each of the vendors below. However, it is worth remarking that learning all 45 spells won’t be anywhere close to cheap. Luckily, you won’t really need to learn all the below spells. I suggest you pick the ones you really need for your garden and the type of plants you grow.
On the other hand, if you are interested in a challenge, you will need exactly 2,692,100 gold to learn them all.
What can I do with gardening spells?
Obviously, gardening spells are used to help you grow plants in your castles. However, there are different types of these spells that will help you do different things to your gardens. These spells will also be separated in tabs for each type when looking at them through your spellbook (P) or when using them in your castle (G). Let’s take a look at the basic types.
- Soil Spells – used to create plots in the outside of your castle (and inside for some few specific castles) so seeds can be planted on them instead of pots.
- Growing Spells – used to tend to plants through their journey from seed to elder. These plants deal with all five general needs plants might manifest – sun, rain, pollination, magic and music.
- Pest Spells – used to remove pests or prevent plants from being attacked by any pests. They are designed to deal with pests of different ranks ranging from rank 1 all the way to rank 7.
- Utility Spells – there are currently only six different spells in this category that are way different than others. The most common use they have is manipulation of the plant at different stages like Plant All, Second Spring, and Hasty Harvest 1.
