Reclaimer

The Reclaimer is a divine-rarity gear, which immediately places it at the high end of Grow a Garden's gear ladder, and its acquisition cost reflects that prestige. It isn't a simple Sheckle purchase — it's a crafted item requiring 1x Common Egg + 1x Harvest Tool plus 500,000 Sheckles. That recipe is the real story: you need to source two component items on top of a substantial cash outlay, so the true cost is the half-million Sheckles and the effort of gathering the ingredients.

For an active farm, 500,000 Sheckles is firmly an endgame-leaning commitment. A Common Egg is cheap and easy, and a Harvest Tool is obtainable, so the gating factor is overwhelmingly the cash — meaning this is a gear you craft once your farm reliably banks large surpluses, not something you scramble for early.

The progression advice is to treat the Reclaimer as a milestone reward rather than a starter tool. Build up dependable crop income first, secure the two crafting components in advance so the 500,000 Sheckles is the only thing you're waiting on, then craft it when its divine-tier function fits a need your setup actually has. Rushing it before your economy is mature would drain capital better spent on growth.
