 '''Botany''' is the art of creating specialized items from seeds and plants, to create potions, poisons, bombs, and other items which are consumed or used to create a temporary effect.  One who practices this art is known as '''Botanist.'''  It is one of several [[crafting|craft]]s which utilize [[:Category:Materials|materials]] to create new items.  The other common crafts are [[Weaponsmith]]ing and [[Outfitter|Outfitting]], which respectively focus on crafting weapons and crafting armor.

 '''Botany''' is the art of creating specialized items from seeds and plants, to create potions, poisons, bombs, and other items which are consumed or used to create a temporary effect.  One who practices this art is known as '''Botanist.'''  It is one of several [[crafting|craft]]s which utilize [[:Category:Materials|materials]] to create new items.  The other common crafts are [[Weaponsmith]]ing and [[Outfitter|Outfitting]], which respectively focus on crafting weapons and crafting armor.
 Botanists are not rare in Hyrule, but becoming one does nonetheless requires training.  Your skill in Botany is represented by a level, as is the case with any craft.  A novice is vastly different than a master who creates legendary potions, but even a novice can be useful.  The cost to gain the first level of Botanist is always 30 rupees.  To gain additional levels, the rupee cost is equal to the next level multiplied by 10.  So, getting to level 2 would cost 20 rupees, level 3 would cost another 30 rupees, etc.  There is no defined maximum level for Botanist, but it becomes increasingly difficult to gain levels the higher you reach.
-Botanists primarily cultivate plants using a garden or farmland, and use what results from these plants.  What separates them from mere farmers, however, is the ability to combine the effects of different seeds to create entirely unique plants--and to utilize the products of their own plants to create unusual effects, including various potions and poisons.  In effect, Botanists use various different types of {{Field|Seed}}s as their materials.  Combining these seeds in different quantities and in different ways allows them to make either a {{Field|Supply}} of items, or {{Field|PerQuest}} items.  The amount of seeds (or other materials) you can use to craft an item is directly proportional to your Botanist level.  Remember, each Material has a specific rupee cost. The total rupee cost of the Materials cannot exceed 10 times your Botanist level.  (For example, a Botanist of level 3 can use 30 rupees worth of Materials to craft an item.)
+Normally, becoming skilled in a craft in the first place required a good amount of talent and motivation. As such, if a character pursues a second or third craft beyond his first, such as [[Weaponsmith]] or [[Outfitter]], all levels for these additional crafts cost twice the normal amount.
-Items in Supply tend to be relatively weak, but are usually a form of special seeds or fruits that can be consumed or destroyed to produce spectacular effects.  Supplies are useful because they contain many items that can be used repeatedly.  A single Supply is treated as one treasure which can be traded, defined as an amount just large enough that the user will never run out of the items contained in the supply so long as these items are used sparingly.  Having multiple Supplies of the same item imposes no benefit.
+The [[Business]] universal [[racial perk]] can make it easier for a newly created character to excel in a craft, such as Botany.
-By contrast, a PerQuest item is usually more powerful.  As its name implies, however, such an item can only be used once per quest (or once per dungeon).  Most of these items are potions or poisons with extraordinary effects, such as healing grave injuries or temporarily enabling flight.  Unlike Supplies, having multiple PerQuest items ''does'' have a benefit.  For each additional copy of a PerQuest item you have, you can effectively use that item one additional time per quest.
+Instead of creating a basic supply, a more skilled Botanist is able to create seed supplies with original effects, or even combined effects.  To do this, the Botanist must combine seeds in multiples of 3, with a minimum of at least 6 seeds.  For every 3 seeds of the same type, the Botanist can imbue the resulting supply with an additional effect.  For instance, combining 3 [[Ember Seed]]s and 3 [[Crackle Seed]]s would enable the Botanist to create a seed supply that both bursts into fire and bursts with electricity on impact.  When creating original supplies in this way, the Botanist can substitute normal seed effects for alternative seed effects, listed on each seed's page.
-In addition to being able to craft and cultivate items, Botanists gains another benefit.  A Botanist can earn bonus rupees.  Whenever a Botanist finishes a quest, he can gain an additional amount of rupees equal to double his Botanist level.  (A Botanist of level 4 would earn 8 extra rupees in every quest or dungeon he completes.)  Generally, this represents the Botanist selling his services to non-player characters, but that aspect need not be specifically role-played.  In place of some or all of these bonus rupees, the Botanist can gain Botanist materials (usually seeds).  For every 1 bonus rupee he does not directly earn, he may gather up to 2 rupees' worth of Botany materials, such as seeds.
+In the previous example of 3 Ember Seeds and 3 Crackle Seeds, the Botanist instead could have used the "Hearth" and "Stimulate" effects of each seed, instead of their default effects.  This would have created a seed which, when held, causes the holder to feel both warm and alert.  If the Botanist was sufficiently skilled, he could even add another 3 seeds, for a total of 9 seeds, to imbue a single supply with 3 different effects.
-The [[Business]] universal [[racial perk]] can make it easier for a newly created character to excel in a craft, such as Botany.
+Coincidentally, 6 or more seeds of the same type can be added to one supply to give it multiple different effects from the same seed type.  A total of 6 Ember Seeds could be used to create a supply with both the "Fire Punch" and "Scorching Step" effects, for instance.
