Editing Cycle 14/Ruleset (section)

== Tasks ==
Tasks are Actions that cost ⚡ to perform. A player must have at least 1⚡ to perform a Task, and when a player performs a Task, they automatically lose 1⚡. If the Task is specified as being a Recreational Task, the player also gains 3💤.

Each Player has an Experience value in each Task, which is initially 0. Whenever a Player is performing a Task that utilizes Experience, that Player should substitute their Experience value in that Task as appropriate. After a Player performs a Task their Experience in that Task is incremented by 1, or 2 if they have any 💤, in which case they lose 1 💤.

Subsections immediately under this rule describe Tasks.

===Mining===    
A player can enter the Crystal Quarries to mine for 💎. That player gains 1💎 for each 4+ rolled on 2d6 and 1 🪨 for each 6+ rolled.

The following conditions add or subtract dice from the above roll:

===Herbalism===
As a Task, a player can cultivate herbs/plants from the Greenhouse Botania.

====Greenhouse Botania====
The greenhouse Botania initially holds 4 pots. When a player performs the herbalism task, they may do one of the following:

* Propagation: Any unoccupied pot in the Greenhouse Botania can have herbs placed in it, where this player selects up to 1 herb per pot from the Horticultural Encyclopaedia, removing the appropriate resources from their inventory to do so.
* Hydration: Any pot with a herb in it can be selected (once per pot) by this player, incrementing its growth stage by 1 (initially 0) and receiving the rewards as listed in the Horticultural Encyclopaedia. If a herb's growth stage would be incremented beyond its 'Stages of Growth', this instead does not occur.
* Harvesting: Any herb can be selected to be removed. If it is on its final growth stage ('Stages of Growth'), you receive rewards (refer to Horticultural Encyclopaedia). After harvesting the relevant pot is empty.
If a player attempts to interact with a pot and this would cause them to lose more of a component than they own, the interaction instead does not occur.

====Horticultural Encyclopaedia====
The following table details the possible herbs/plants and their attributes (where all instances of N refers to the number of experience in herbalism that player has):
