Torchflower Seeds

Torchflower seeds grow an orange decorative flower and let you breed sniffers.

What is Torchflower Seeds?

Torchflower seeds are an ancient crop obtained through a sniffer. Plant a seed on farmland to grow the flower. The mature torchflower provides an orange accent in gardens, but the main reason to keep the seeds is to feed a pair of adult sniffers.

Why players overlook it

The plant does not appear as a normal field of flowers. Getting the first seed means finding a sniffer egg or obtaining a sniffer another way, then providing enough space for it to dig. That work is more than many builders need for one flower.

How to get it

  • Let an adult sniffer roam on suitable ground until it digs up a seed or pod. Collect the seeds promptly so you can distinguish them from other loose plant items.
  • Plant a seed on farmland and let it grow if you want the flower.

What is it used for?

  • Feed the seeds to adult sniffers to breed them and obtain another egg.
  • Use a mature torchflower in a garden or flower pot where a single orange detail will be easy to see.

When it comes in handy

Keep the first two seeds together in a breeding chest. Once you have a second adult, you can put subsequent seeds into planting without leaving yourself one short when you want another egg.

Limitations

Harvesting a mature torchflower gives you the flower, so planting one does not produce a new supply of seeds. The glowing appearance suggested by its name does not give the flower a light level.

Editorial recommendation

Is it worth using?

Save seeds when you are establishing a sniffer population. Grow the flower once you have enough to spare or when the exact look is the point of the build.

Alternatives

Use more common orange flowers for mass planting or a soul torch or lantern if you need an actual light source.
