Foraged Item Prop

This article is a work in progress!

Foraged item props are scripted plants which are permanently located in a room and can be harvested for flowers, leaves, sticks, fruit, or other plant-related parts. They were first introduced in 2022 by GM Thandiwe. They can be found in some publicly accessible rooms in game, such as on festival grounds or in newer built areas such as Communitea House in Solhaven or along the path to Mistwatch in Ta'Vaalor. Foraged item props come in five varieties: tree, shrub, ground cover, potted flower, or vine. The different varieties have slightly different messaging when they are harvested, such as referencing reaching up to pluck a fruit from a tree vs bending over to pluck a flower from some ground cover. In addition, different varieties have different restrictions on what types of plant parts can be harvested from them. Typically taking the form of a plant or a container holding plants in a room, foraged item props can be easily identified via their ANALYZE, which outlines which verbs are available to use for that specific plant. Different verbs are used to harvest different parts of plants, such as PINCH for leaves or PLUCK for flowers. Not all foraged item props are set up with the maximum number of harvestable plant parts, so not all foraged item props will have the same number of verbs displayed in their analyze. Various plants or plant parts can be harvested from the foraged item prop. The complete list of foraged items that can be harvested from a specific foraged item prop can be viewed via GAZE. All items harvested from a foraged item prop are built as foraged items. Because of this, they are compatible with any system that uses foraged plants, such as a Veola hair accessory, Deck the Halls items, Forager Vasculums, Grafting plants, etc. Private property owners are able to purchse their own foraged item props for their properties. This is typically done via voucher. See the designing a foraged item prop section for more information on how to customize a prop for a private property. Foraged Item Prop Foraged item props come in five varieties: tree, shrub, ground cover, potted flower, or vine. The different varieties have slightly different messaging when they are harvested. Not all foraged item props are fully customized. Because of this and restrictions on what types of foraged items can appear on which variety of foraged item prop, not all foraged item props use the same set of verbs. To see which verbs are available for a specific foraged item prop, use ANALYZE. Analyze You may attend to an ornamental blooming lilac tree.

Voucher for Custom Foraged Item Prop Private property owners have the option to purchase foraged item props for their property. This is typically done via vouchers, which are used to redeem a pre-written or customized foraged item prop inside their property. Only the private property owner can redeem a foraged item prop voucher in their property. The foraged item prop will be placed in the room where the voucher is redeemed via RAISE. Vouchers can come pre-written off the shelf with a fixed foraged item prop description as well as fixed customizations (plants able to be plucked, smell, etc.). In the case of pre-written foraged item props, no components can be altered in any way whatsoever. This is clearly stated in the pre-written foraged item prop voucher's ANALYZE in monsterbold text. Vouchers can also be purchased uncustomized or blank. For uncustomized vouchers, the property owner can take the voucher to GALD merchants to add the prop description and its different customizations. While some GALD merchants may be willing to do multiple customizations for a single service, property owners should expect the entire process to take multiple GALD services and plan accordingly. Make sure that all customizations are completed ahead of time before redeeming. Alterations and customizations cannot be applied to a foraged item prop once it has been placed in a property. Once redeemed, the foraged item prop will display in the "You also see" line following the room's description. It is possible to move a foraged item prop to be located in, on, under, or behind another prop present in the room via Property Change Vouchers ("Move a Room Item"). This is the only way to move the foraged item prop so that it does not appear in the "You also see" line. Once moved, it will instead appear in, on, under, or behind the designated prop.
