The Almanac of Plants and Seedlings is tied to a single Farmer quest in Enshrouded 1.0, and its item text sums up why it matters: “Explains how to grow all sorts of seedlings.” Go to the abandoned caravan camp in the Nomad Highlands, then travel to Surat’s Rest, defeat the matron, and place the book in your base.
Quick answer: Accept the Farmer’s quest “Almanac of Plants and Seedlings For The Farmer”, investigate the deserted caravan site in the Nomad Highlands, head to Surat’s Rest, defeat the matron, collect the almanac she drops, and set it down at your base.
Start the Farmer’s almanac quest
The opening objective, Look For The Abandoned Caravan Camp, reads: “The Farmer asked for an Almanac of Plants and Seedlings to grow new crops. Her old almanac was lost on her journey through the Nomad Highlands when she had to abandon a campsite. Her Almanac of Plants and Seedlings should be where she and her caravan had set up camp.”
Find the caravan camp, then head to Surat’s Rest
Travel to the abandoned caravan camp the quest marks in the Nomad Highlands. Follow the map marker to reach the spot where the Farmer’s caravan once set up.
At the camp, the quest updates to Go To Surat’s Rest. The objective explains where the book went: “The Almanac of Plants and Seedlings was looted by Scavengers. They took their loot to Surat’s Rest.” Make your way to Surat’s Rest in the Nomad Highlands.
Defeat the matron and take the almanac
Inside Surat’s Rest, the quest becomes Obtain The Matron’s Almanac. The objective tells you what stands in the way: “The Almanac of Plants and Seedlings was gifted to a “matron” in Surat’s Rest. The matron must be defeated so that the Almanac of Plants and Seedlings can be returned to the Farmer.”
Find the matron in Surat’s Rest and defeat her.
When she falls, the Almanac of Plants and Seedlings drops. Pick up the Almanac of Plants and Seedlings.
Place the almanac in your base to finish
The final objective, Place The Almanac of Plants and Seedlings, reads: “The Almanac of Plants and Seedlings could be found in Surat’s Rest. It should be placed in the base to grow better crops.” Carry the book home and place it in your base. Setting it down completes the quest.
Craft more almanacs at the Farmer
After completing the quest, you can make additional copies with the Farmer. Craft an Almanac of Plants and Seedlings at the Farmer while in a sheltered spot, using 25 Paper and 5 String.
