Hey idle gardeners 👋

A huge update just landed in Idle Garden, introducing new skills, resources, and gameplay mechanics that change the way you progress!

🔥 Three Unique Paths

You can now choose between 3 different progression paths, each leading to a distinct combat class:

• Mining → Smithing → Melee ⚔️

• Mycology → Tanning → Mage 🔮

• Botany → Tailoring → Ranged 🏹

🧙 Combat Classes

Each path leads to a different combat class, making your garden not just a place for resource gathering but also the road to specialization in battle.

💰 Strategic Choices 

 ⚠️Once you pick a path, the other two will drastically increase in cost. 👉 This makes your decision truly meaningful, and your journey through the garden will have a unique identity.

🪴 Botany

A brand-new skill with 6 locations (similar to the Mining skill for Melee), dedicated to the Ranged combat class.

Available resources: Grass, Dandelion, Nettle, Thorny Weed, Algae, Roses.

🧵Tailoring

A new skill with 6 armor/weapon kits (like Smithing for Melee), dedicated to Ranged.

All kits are crafted from resources gathered in the Botany skill: Grass, Dandelion, Nettle, Thorny Weed, Algae, Roses.

📦Inventory

Each combat class (Melee, Mage, Ranged) is now only available within the Picklelogy skill tree. Once unlocked, you can use the class!

There’s also a new option to sell items in batches — making inventory management easier!
