Magic Pot

The Magic Pot is an important device found in all versions of Trials of Mana. Usually housed at an inn, the Magic Pots have special soil that allows magic seeds to grow into item-producing flowers over time. Used properly, a Magic Pot can be a source of some of the most useful items and gear in the entire game.

Mechanics

2D version

As the player moves through the adventure, they may acquire any of six types of seeds. One seed must be planted in the pot beside the row of beds before the party pays for their stay. Once placed, the seed will grow into a random item from its own pool of items. The Gear Seed, for instance, may grow into a valuable piece of gear for one of the three chosen heroes. This item is picked up immediately and placed in the Item Ring or storage pool as appropriate.

Here are the six types of seeds the player can plant into the Magic Pot:

• Item Seed
• Flying Item Seed
• Gear Seed
• Magic Seed
• Mysterious Seed
• ??? Seed

3D version

Flowering Magic Pot

Magic Pots can now grow five types of seeds, with the results being both random and instantaneous, meaning that the player is not required to rest in order to get new items. The player can also plant as many seeds of one class as they hold in inventory, capped at 10 per attempt. Higher class seeds often yield better items, and each seed planted raises a hidden EXP value, thereby allowing all Magic Pots to level up and yield better items. It should be noted that seed drops depend on the characters' classes. The odds of obtaining more valuable items also increase when Li'l Cactus is found at least 45 times. Furthermore, the Magic Pot level carries onto a New Game Plus.

Here are the five types of seeds the player can plant into the Magic Pot:

• Item Seed
• Silver Item Seed
• Gold Item Seed
• Rainbow Item Seed
• ??? Seed

Here are the required number of planted seeds for each level up. It takes a total of 200 seeds to reach level 5 (max level).

Level	Number of seeds
1	0
2	20
3	30
4	50
5	100

Raising the Magic Pot's level will influence the enemies' drop rate.

Magic Pot Level	Seed drop rate	Item
		A	B	C
1	+0%	90%	7%	3%
2	+1%	85%	10%	5%
3	+2%	80%	13%	7%
4	+3%	75%	15%	10%
5	+4%	70%	18%	12%
6*	+5%	70%	15%	15%

• Meeting 45 Li'l Cacti raises the Magic Pot level by 1.

For example, defeating a Rabite with the Magic Pot at level 1 and without any other modifiers has a 7.5% chance of yielding an item after battle. Of this 7.5%, There is a 90% chance that the item dropped is a Candy and a 7% chance of it being an Item Seed.
