Bioluminescent Ivy: Pruners, locations and uses

Bioluminescent Ivy grows in the Hanging Gardens and requires Pruners Lv.2. Look in the Overgrowth and its connected areas after obtaining the upgraded tool. Ivy feeds both progression tasks and recipes, including Lignin for Battery Lv.3.

Unlock and craft Pruners Lv.2

Complete the Murky Waters bundle at the Central Lake Research Station. It requires Spring Pygmy Sunfish, Dalhousie Catfish, Moapa Dace and Red Handfish, found in the Overgrowth fishing pool.

Craft the tool upgrade at a Project Station Lv.2 using your existing Pruners, two Copper Bar and two Flexible Lumber. The craft costs seven energy. The recipe unlock and the physical tool are different steps; return to the station after claiming the research reward.

Gather in the Hanging Gardens

Ivy nodes occur around the Overgrowth, with additional spots near the Secret Lake and Bamboo Forest. Use Pruners Lv.2 on the node. A harvest gives one or two Ivy.

A node has a five-minute respawn interval, with a chance to be absent on the next spawn. Move between known spots instead of assuming that an empty location means you have the wrong tool. Avoid treating a shared node’s absence as a fixed guarantee about its next appearance.

Reserve Ivy for your next upgrade

Use	Ivy needed	Other condition
One Lignin	Five	Refining Station Lv.2
One Silk	Five	Refining Station Lv.2
Lignin for Battery Lv.3	Ten total	Two Lignin, plus the battery’s other ingredients
Elemental Earth research	Three	Other materials in the same Overgrowth bundle
Bioluminescent Ivy Soup	One	One Onion and Cooking Station Lv.2

Lignin and Silk use the same amount of Ivy but produce different materials. Crafting Silk will not supply the Lignin needed by the battery upgrade.

Ivy Investigation

Hazel offers Ivy Investigation after Everything Is Connected. Find an Ivy sample and show it to her in the Hanging Gardens. The next task asks you to forage three Ivy, five Portobello Mushrooms, five Enoki Mushrooms and five Oyster Mushrooms, then report back.

The wording asks for foraging at that stage. Buying or recycling an item should not be assumed to complete a gathering counter. Keep the current objective visible while harvesting the required plants.

The quest rewards Flower Mixer and Coastal Sandals. Its prerequisite is the Gridfall travel quest, so Ivy appearing in your inventory before that point does not mean Hazel has already offered this side quest.
