FAQ

1. Can I plant multiple Bagged Yew Trees at once?

No, players can only plant one tree per farming patch at a time. You will need to wait for the first tree to fully grow and be harvested before planting another.

2. Do I need to check the health of my Bagged Yew Tree?

Yes, checking the health of your tree is essential. If you neglect it for too long, it may die, resulting in loss of the seed and potential experience.
