Florist Friar strategy
From A KoL Wiki
The most important part of any Florist Friar strategy is to find a way to remember to use it. This is extremely difficult to do and is left as an exercise for the reader.
Beyond that, the florist friar's plants can provide a player with a number of extremely ascension-relevant and powerful benefits.
This guide will only cover Territorial Plants and +Combat initiative plants, as those tend to be the most ascension relevant.
Outdoor Plants
| Plant | Zone(s) | Notes |

The F'c'le The Goatlet The Smut Orc Logging Camp The Penultimate Fantasy Airship The Palindome The Hole in the Sky |

| Plant | Zone(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
 War Lily (+30 ML) |
The Various Zones in Spookyraven Manor The Zones in the Castle in the Clouds in the Sky |

Useful for finding killing jars or dance card collection for powerleveling. |

The Various Zones in Spookyraven Manor The Zones in the Castle in the Clouds in the Sky |

|---|---|---|
 Blustery Puffball (+30 ML) |
The Defiled Cranny | Enlarging the swarms of ghuol whelps you fight is always a good idea. |
 Horn of Plenty (+25% Item Drops) |
The Defiled Nook The Dungeons of Doom The Middle Chamber |
+25% Item Drops is useful for skeletons in the cyrpt, for large box hunting, and against tomb rat kings. |
 Wizard's Wig (+5 Mysticality Stats per Fight) |
The Defiled Niche | The usefulness of +5 Mysticality stats per fight hinges on your being a Mysticality class. |
 Shuffle Truffle (+25% Combat Initiative) |

Notes
- You may only plant one of each plant type per type of zone per day.
- With the new ML interactions, the +ML plants are equivalent in mainstat gains to the other territorial plants, and also provide offstats, both of which are worth considering when planning out powerleveling.
- It is also recommended you use some of the other plants in places where you want to ramp up the difficulty, such as the MP regen and block attacks/delevel ones. Not necessary, but it does provide some good quality of life.
