Placing and Using the Hex Circle

• Visibility: Keep it visible to monitor ritual progress

The Hex Serpent Ritual System

How the Ritual Works?

The Hex Serpent's Witchcraft ability creates a unique gameplay loop:

1. Plant Setup: Place exactly 5 single-harvest plants inside the Hex Circle
2. Timing: Wait 12-16 minutes (or during in-game hours 12:00-4:00)
3. Ritual Activation: The Hex Serpent appears and performs the ritual
4. Plant Consumption: All five plants are consumed in the process
5. Reward Generation: Receive two rounds of rewards based on Ritual Power

Important Ritual Requirements

• Exact Plant Count: Must have exactly 5 plants (more or less prevents activation)
• Single-Harvest Only: Multi-harvest plants won't work for the ritual
• Plant Quality: Higher rarity and better variants yield better rewards
• Hex Circle Required: Ritual won't activate without the placed cosmetic

Ritual Power System

Understanding Ritual Points

Ritual Power is the hidden stat that determines your reward quality. Each plant contributes points based on:

Base Rarity Points

Rarity	Points
Common	1
Uncommon	2
Rare	3
Legendary	4
Mythical	5
Divine	6

Variant Bonus Points

Variant	Bonus Points
Silver	+1
Gold	+2
Rainbow	+3

Calculating Maximum Ritual Power

To achieve maximum rewards, aim for the highest possible Ritual Power:

• Maximum Single Plant: Divine (6) + Rainbow (3) = 9 points
• Maximum Ritual Power: 5 plants × 9 points = 45 points
• Good Setup: 5 Mythical plants with Gold variants = 35 points
• Minimum Setup: 5 Common plants with no variants = 5 points

Reward Breakdown

First Round: Resource Loot

The initial reward wave provides essential resources:

• Sheckles: Up to 10,000
• Tools: Watering Cans, Harvest Tools, Reclaimers

26-35 points	Great	Rare seeds, advanced tools, good Sheckles
