Note that the availability of tickets may vary when trading with Nata. Sometimes only one type is offered, or neither may appear.
- The Botanist skill has no effect on Nightflower Pollen as it’s not classified as a consumable
- Using the map filter can help locate flowers more easily
- The moon cycle includes seven phases, with full moon being just one of them
