Getting started in Sol Garden

Start with your garden, then try Siege or head into the open world when you want a change. These activities feed into each other: your plants help build your tower roster, and the materials you gather go into crafting.

You can start in your browser without a wallet. Your guest garden stays on that device, so keep its browser data. When you're ready to play across devices, connect a Solana wallet and follow the import prompt to move your progress.

Your plants grow in real time and produce Coins. Check when they're ready to collect, water them when needed and clear any pests. Weather affects growth and yield, and each species has a climate it likes. Check those details before planting.

Use Coins to upgrade your plants, up to level 100. Every 25 levels, a plant evolves. Spend at a pace that leaves you enough Coins for the other things you want to do. You'll start in Home Garden, with Fae Glade, Crystal Grove, Arcane Sanctum and Necropolis opening as your tier grows.

Use Coins for plant upgrades and costs shown by crafting and cooking recipes. Diamonds are a separate balance, used for things such as higher-tier Mine extraction. Check which currency an action uses before confirming it.

Golden Seeds are for Mastery. Your current Seed recipe needs three ores, three hunt trophies and three ingredients. Crafting uses those materials and rolls your next recipe. Learning a Mastery rank spends Seeds permanently, so pick a branch you want to focus on.

$SOLG is the Solana token used for optional purchases and player trading in the web game. It's separate from Coins and Diamonds, and you don't need it to start a guest game. Use Shop for game offers and Marketplace for items listed by other players.

Before heading out, open Character and check your gear. Equip the weapon, offhand and wearable items you want to use. Picking something up doesn't equip it, so check that your new gear is actually in use.

Try a few ordinary enemies first. Get used to moving, attacking and defending, and leave yourself space to get out of trouble. Keep an eye on landmarks as you explore. Some are guarded by Elites or the world boss.

After a fight, walk over the drops to collect them. Ingredients go into cooking, hunt materials go into recipes, and fragments help you craft suits. Check an unfamiliar item before selling it if you're saving for a recipe.

Pick a recipe first, then check what you already have. You'll know what to gather next and which materials to keep.

All 50 ore types come from the Mine. You need both the right Mine level and pickaxe to reach a higher ore tier. Your character level alone won't unlock it. Tiers 1–6 have no Diamond fee; tiers 7–10 show a Diamond cost before extraction.

In the Mine, choose an ore, start the work and collect it when the job finishes. Check your Ore Bag when planning the next craft. For food, bring the listed ingredients to the Kitchen. Read a meal's effect and duration before using it, because its Well Fed buff is temporary.

Want to build a defense? Try Garden Siege. Use towers from your plants and collected unique towers to protect the Heart. The Sap you earn pays for towers and upgrades during that run.

Want to explore? Start in Wildwood. Later worlds open at levels 26, 51 and 101. Gather ingredients, fight monsters and pick up their drops to work toward your next meal or piece of gear.

Want to work on equipment? Check a Forge recipe, then mine the ores and gather the other materials it needs. Open Character to manage what you own and equip what you're going to use.
