In Enshrouded 1.0, Mei-Yin Chen, the Lunar New Year Trader, gives you a quest called “Lunar New Year Plants”. Its one objective is to find the three plants she once sold to the people of Fort Kelvin.
Quick answer: All three Lunar New Year Plants are pickups inside Fort Kelvin in the Springlands: a Yellow Cymbidum Flower, a Fern and a Pink Lily Flower.
How to start the Lunar New Year Plants quest
You get “Lunar New Year Plants” from Mei-Yin Chen. Once it is active, the journal shows one step, “Find The Plants”, with this text:
The trader Mei sold a set of plants to the people of Fort Kelvin, but their beauty will fade with nobody around to admire them.
Retrieve her plants from their previous owners so they can bloom inside your base! There are three plants in total, and all of them are found in Fort Kelvin.
Mei-Yin Chen stands in the Springlands, about 370 m south of Netherton. Fort Kelvin is roughly 970 m north of her. The survivor locations guide shows where she and the other survivors are.
All 3 Lunar New Year Plants locations
Each plant is a pickup inside Fort Kelvin, a short walk from the Fort Kelvin map marker:
| Plant | Where | Spot |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow Cymbidum Flower | Fort Kelvin, Springlands | About 20 m east of the Fort Kelvin map marker |
| Fern | Fort Kelvin, Springlands | About 40 m south-west of the Fort Kelvin map marker |
| Pink Lily Flower | Fort Kelvin, Springlands | About 60 m south-east of the Fort Kelvin map marker, about 12 m higher than the other two |
The Pink Lily Flower sits about 12 m higher than the other two. Pick up all three; the quest completes once all three are found.
What Mei-Yin Chen crafts after you find them
Once all three plants are found, Mei-Yin Chen can craft six potted plants. Every recipe makes 2 and costs 2 Stone and 1 Flower Soil, so the three plants you find become six colours to place in your base:
| Mei-Yin Chen crafts | Materials |
|---|---|
| Fern (x2) | 2 Stone, 1 Flower Soil |
| White Cymbidum Flower (x2) | 2 Stone, 1 Flower Soil |
| Yellow Cymbidum Flower (x2) | 2 Stone, 1 Flower Soil |
| Two-colored Lily Flower (x2) | 2 Stone, 1 Flower Soil |
| Yellow Lily Flower (x2) | 2 Stone, 1 Flower Soil |
| Pink Lily Flower (x2) | 2 Stone, 1 Flower Soil |
Flower Soil comes from the Farmer, who makes 10 Flower Soil from 10 Farm Soil and 1 Honey. One batch covers ten pot recipes. The Farmer’s full list is in all Farmer recipes.
A Lantern For Mei: where the Paper Lantern is
Mei-Yin Chen’s second quest, “A Lantern For Mei”, starts with the step “Speak To The Carpenter About The Lantern”:
The trader Mei told you she once sold a paper lantern to the carpenter, Cade. If she saw the lantern’s design again, she could recreate them and offer them for crafting.
Talk to Cade Hawthorn, the Carpenter, and the next step, “Search For The Lantern In Morwenna”, follows:
The Carpenter said that the lantern is in Morwenna, a town he used to reside in.
The Paper Lantern I sits in a locked silver chest about 50 m south-west of the Morwenna map marker in the Springlands, so bring a Lockpick (see how to get lockpicks). Mei-Yin Chen’s crafting list has two paper lanterns:
| Mei-Yin Chen crafts | Materials |
|---|---|
| Paper Lantern I | 1 Metal Scraps, 1 Charcoal, 2 Plant Fiber, 1 Torn Cloth, 1 Candle |
| Paper Lantern II | 1 Metal Scraps, 1 Charcoal, 3 Plant Fiber, 1 Torn Cloth, 1 Candle |
