Booster lines

• Fertilizer · more prune XP
• Growth Hormone · instant tree levels
• Herbal Tonic · more ability XP
• Root Inoculant · higher nugget drop chance
• Rock Dust · more nuggets per drop
• Brood Nectar · worker larvae bring back more
• Brood Warmer · larvae hatch faster

How brewing works

• Each booster costs 25 Power, coins and an island reagent, paid only when it starts brewing
• Power holds 100 (150 for Patreon Tier 3+) and refills 1 every 14 minutes
• The queue brews 1 booster with 2 waiting (4 for patrons), even while you’re offline
• Cancelling a brewing booster refunds 50% of its coins and reagents

Using boosters

Use them with /laboratory use: one category or all at once, highest tier first. Buffs last 3 to 8 hours by tier and you can bank up to 24h. The same tier adds time; a different tier waits until the active one ends. Boosters and reagents are kept on rebirth.

One panel with Laboratory, Pruner and Production tabs: /laboratory show | pruner | production · your lab’s picture gets nicer every 10 levels

• Farmer’s Island · 1h · 1 · +25% prune XP · -25% drop chance
• Miner’s Island · 2h · 2 · +25% drop chance · -25% prune XP
• Slimey Island · 3h · 3 · -10% larva hatch time · -25% worker returns · -25% prune XP

Island shops & ship hold

• Each island’s shop sells its lab reagents for golden and diamond medals : /island shop or /island buy
• Your ship hold carries 2 shop items per visit and refills each time you set sail. What you buy stays in the hold until you’re back on Main Island, then it goes to your inventory
• You can also buy reagents for gems from anywhere in the shop’s Lab Reagents

Coming soon

• Island markets: trade items with other players

Islands only connect to Main Island and going home costs the same · no island effects while at sea, and the map animates your route

• Travel time -2.5%
• +1 ship hold
• Travel time -5%
• +1 ship hold
• Travel time -7.5%
• +1 ship hold

All four golden trophies got new art

A tree that grows with you

Your tree has 14 stages, one per rebirth checkpoint: from a sprout in the garden to a giant oak above the city, the birds, the clouds and into space. Each stage adds something new (treehouse, nests, blossoms, lanterns, star fruit…), and it’s fully grown at 2048 rebirths as the golden Elder Arborium.

Progress

• Pruning gives x2 base exp (replaces the Sweet Apple boost); the shop’s XP Boost still doubles it
• Production now uses fixed rebirth checkpoints
• Lab levels give -1.5% research time and nugget cost each, up to 51% at level 34, then up to 57.5% at level 60
• Seasonal Chest rebirths by league: 1 / 2 / 4 / 8 / 16 (BeeGinner → Pro League 3)
• Clean can now find lab boosters and reagents from the tiers you’ve unlocked
• Land season rewards raised: 1st 150 + 45 · 2nd–11th 100 + 30 · 12th–25th 50 + 15 · 26th–100th 10 + 5

Captcha 2.0

• The captcha now shows a picture of an item: pick the matching item from the buttons.
• A wrong or ignored captcha makes you a hostage of the soldier bees until you solve a new one with the button.
• Keep ignoring the captchas and the bans get longer each time, all the way to a permanent ban.
• All bans from before Captcha 2.0 have been lifted.

The bot needs Attach Files and Embed Links in your channel to show captchas

Removed

Tree dirt is gone: it no longer lowers production or blocks rebirths. Insecticide and Sweet Apple no longer have any use: they can only be sold or dismantled. Energy Drinks now only need 25 Golden Saplings.

Patreon

Perks now sync straight from Patreon: link your Discord account on Patreon and your tier unlocks automatically. Tier 3 gets 5% off lab upgrades and 150 max lab Power; every patron gets 4 waiting slots in the production queue.

New badges · tiers · patron · not a patron

And also

• A new look: dark green panels, new icons, loading bars, logo and banners
• A clearer guide with new Travel and Laboratory Production sections
• /skin updates as soon as you pick a skin, plus many fixes in help, land, chips and the shop

Thanks for playing Elder Arborium!
