Unlock Up To 3 Cultivation Slots**
In Monster Hunter Rise, the Botanical Research Center is a place where you can grow plants, mushrooms, harvest bugs, and more. One of the key features of this center is the cultivation slots. You can unlock up to 3 cultivation slots in the Botanical Research Center, which allows you to cultivate multiple items at the same time. It's essential to unlock these slots so you can get more items in a shorter amount of time.
Cultivating Same Items Simultaneously
Another great feature of the Botanical Research Center is that you can cultivate the same type of items in different slots. This makes it easier to get more items quickly, as you don't have to wait for each item to be harvested individually.
