Druid Builds

Discover the best Druid builds in Schedule I. This guide covers essential skills, equipment, and strategies to optimize your Druid gameplay and dominate the game.

This guide provides an overview of Druid builds in Schedule I, focusing on character customization, early game progression, and essential equipment for success.

Starting the Game

Upon starting Schedule I, players are treated to a short cutscene, followed by character customization. This initial appearance choice is permanent for the save file, though it can be altered via game files. In the full release, appearance changes will also be available at in-game shops like barbershops, clothing stores, and a tattoo parlor.

After character creation, players spawn near a bus station, hinting at the game's intended starting scenario. The first quest, "Getting Started," directs players to open their phone (using 'Tab') and read messages. An "Unknown" message prompts a visit to a payphone to meet "U.N." (Uncle Nelson), who tasks the player with retrieving his stash near the skatepark. This stash contains $375.

Renting a Motel Room

The next objective is to speak with the motel manager, Donna, located in the house next to the motel. After initiating the "Rent a motel room" quest, players can steal back the $75 room fee from Donna by pickpocketing her. Renting the room requires entering Room 1, after which Uncle Nelson requests another meeting at the payphone.

Buying Equipment

The "Gearing Up" questline begins, directing players to the hardware store. Players can locate it by pressing 'M' to view the map and finding the yellow star, or by navigating the roads. At the hardware store, players receive quests to deposit cash at the ATM and purchase a grow tent, soil bag, and watering can. Depositing money at the ATM is recommended for safety against fines or medical bills. Purchases are made by speaking to Dan and adding items to the cart. Recommended early purchases include "Plant Trimmers," a "Packaging Station," and 10 "Baggies." Optional items like a trash grabber (for recycling) and a "Trash bag" (to manage the motel trash can) are also mentioned. If players identify as a drug dealer to Dan, they may receive "Speed Grow," which accelerates plant growth.

After purchasing supplies, players return to their motel room to set up the grow tent and add soil. The tutorial guides players through placing the tent and adding soil to the pot. Another meeting with Uncle Nelson at the payphone follows.

Planting your First Seeds

Uncle Nelson introduces Albert Hoover. Players receive a message from Albert detailing his conversation with Uncle Nelson. To order seeds, players use the phone's messaging system and select "I need to order a [dead drop]." Currently, only "OG Kush" seeds are available, which have a calming effect. It is recommended to stick with OG Kush due to its versatility in mixing with other strains. After placing an order, Albert delivers the seeds to a designated [dead drop] location within 30 in-game minutes (30 seconds real-time); subsequent deliveries take approximately 4 in-game hours (4 minutes real-time). Payments are handled via a tab system, with cash placed in a [dead drop] behind the hardware store. [Dead drops] containing items are highlighted. Players then sow the seed in the grow tent by pressing 'E' when prompted. Watering the plant is done using the watering can, filled at the sink. Plants grow approximately 15% per in-game hour. Sleeping after watering can significantly boost growth and conserve resources. The tutorial concludes with harvesting the plant using "Plant Trimmers" once it's fully grown.

Packaging

After harvesting, players use the "Packaging Station" to package the buds. This involves placing baggies and buds into the station, then packing and transferring them into the output. Packaged weed can also be unpackaged. Jars can be purchased at the hardware store for storage.
