Wizard101 Gardening Guide: White Tiger Lily

The White Tiger Lily is one of the more challenging plants to manage in a garden. It takes quite a while to grow, it has hefty energy requirements (water, pollination, magic and music), and it can get up to rank 5 pests. But despite the White Tiger Lily's laborious needs, it’s still highly sought after for the Fancy Yogurt reward at elder harvest.

Before you get started, you’ll need to have access to and meet the following requirements:

• Gardening Level Required: 8 (Adept)
• Plot Required: Small Enchanted Plot

Acquiring the Seed

There are three places that you can get a White Tiger Lily seed:

• Raven’s Hoard Pack
• Boss Drop
• Bazaar

TIP: Buying from the bazaar is less time consuming than farming for it. But if you are hopeful to get it as a boss drop, I recommend doing the Winterbane gauntlet (at the first tier).

The best time to buy seeds in bulk is when the Bazaar is busy. But before you rush off and start spending, double check the following:

1. You have enough gold to buy the seeds
2. You have enough room to store the seeds before you plant them

Each seed costs 6,300 gold, so if you are planting a garden with 60 seeds, you’ll need 378,000 gold (60 x 6,300).

As for storing the seeds, available places to keep them are: attic, bank, shared bank or backpack.

Likes and Dislikes

The White Tiger Lily has 6 possible plant ‘likes’:

• Tropical Garden Gnome
• Dandelion/Orange Dandelion/Pink Dandelion
• Ball of Blue Yarn
• Potted Cat Tail
• Pixie
• Red Barn Farm

The Tropical Garden Gnome can be purchased at the Bazaar, as well as the Ball of Blue Yarn and the Potted Cat Tail. You’ll want to plant the Dandelion ahead of time and then summon a Pixie to it. And don’t use any other house but the Red Barn Farm.

TIP: Plant 'likes' reduce the amount of time it takes to reach each plant stage.

Plant Stage: Seedling

Once you have gathered the seeds, it’s time to head over to the Red Barn Farm and plant them. I have found that stacking the plants make it easier to manage the gardening needs and to keep the pests away.

Tip: This guide uses the half level plot stacking technique.

Make sure that you have enough energy to plant all of your seeds. (For example, if you have 60 seeds, you will need 120 energy.) The White Tiger Lilies are easier to manage if they’re on the same time cycle, so plant them together.

Plant Stage: Young

When the White Tiger Lilies are at the young stage, they may get pests up to rank 5. I recommend using the Miniature Bloodbats pest prevention spell. It will keep pests up to rank 4 away for 48 hours.

TIP: Miniature Bloodbats can be purchased from Roger the Shrubber in Avalon for 200,000 gold.

I also recommend using the Baby Sunbird gardening treasure card for pest prevention up to rank 5. Unfortunately this spell is not currently offered to learn, but the treasure card drops from the Wyvern’s Hoard pack and from the holiday quest in October.

At the time of writing this guide, the Strawman pest prevention spell is too difficult to manage because it covers the plants, making it near impossible to see plant needs. Hopefully in the future this will change, as Strawman is handy in preventing pests up to rank 6.

Plant Stage: Mature

When the White Tiger Lilies reach mature, you should check your garden about every 12 hours for pests and plant needs. Use large area spells for water, pollination, magic and music. Also use the Fly Swatter spell for the rank 5 pests.

TIP: If you have other plants that don’t fit in your large area circle, use the indoor/outdoor treasure card version of the spell.

During the mature stage you will get several regular harvests.

You will receive 125-180 gold and 300 gardening experience per plant.

You will get one of the following treasure cards per plant:

• Colossus
• Frost Giant
• Frozen Armor
• Ice Hound (dropped only at elder harvest)
• Iceblade
• Legion Shield
• Steal Ward
• Tower Shield

TIP: Selling the treasure cards will help you recoup the gold you spent on the seeds.

Make sure to keep your pest prevention spell on the plants during the entire mature stage. Also keep an eye on your plant with the pixie. If you lose it, use the Summon Pixie spell to bring it back.

Plant Stage: Elder

After a long while of patience and constant care the plants will reach the elder stage. As mentioned before, the amount of time it takes to get to elder is determined by how many 'likes’ you have for the plant. The more plant 'likes’ you have, the less time it takes to grow.

You will receive the following at elder harvest (per plant):

• 457-898 gold
• 3,000 Experience (gardening)
• 2 Treasure Cards (see above)
• 1 rank 6 snack (Double Popsicle or Frosted Drakes Cereal)
• 1 Fancy Yogurt (rank 9)
• % chance at rare Amber reagent drop

Note: The White Tiger Lily seed is not dropped as a final reward.

Final Thoughts

Although this plant is somewhat difficult to take care of, I have completed a couple dozen elder harvests (60 at a time). It is a satisfying experience to get a large amount of Fancy Yogurt at the end. It’s also a great way to get gardening experience.

Here are some final thoughts to keep in mind:

• If you are farming for Amber, Lydia Greyrose confirmed a while ago that White Tiger Lily has the best drop rate: https://www.wizard101.com/forum/crafting/amber-vine-and-braided-vine-reagents-50187
• White Tiger Lilies require a lot of time and energy to get to elder, so I strongly recommend planting them in groups of 20, 40 or 60.
• Make sure you have everything ready to go before you plant. This is a gardening endeavor that requires planning ahead of time.

Thank you for reading and happy gardening!
