Can some one explain "Mog Gardens"

[Ramzi]

raising the monsters for the cheer bonus takes all of 15 seconds. once you tell chacharoon which type of monster you want, all you do is pet it (or whatever is best for that type of monster) and trade it an item once per day. The bonuses are nice in that you can increase your skills in weapons/magic/crafting.

As for the rest of mog gardens, you can get some nice things. Like Matsya. Or the artifact upgrade items (exalted log, beryllium ore, etc).

I've never received anything that nice. My nodes are all rank 7 except my furrows which are rank 5. Never got a Matsya, but did get a Lik once. I get some Philosoper's stones and Bismuth ores now and then, but never the 119 upgrade items. Are you using some kind of fertilizer/syrum to get those, or maybe using the assistants? Any advice to get better items would be great. Also, someone mentioned in my LS mentioned they got a rem's tale from their coastal net, but I forgot to ask if any special bait etc.

It just gives you skill-gain rate, and a very small amount. It doesn't actually increase your skill.

you are wrong. Here is a pic of the KI:

It's widely considered to be a mistranslation based on everyone that has gotten the other skill KIs and tested them.

it is rare, but i do get the upgrade items without any items used on the geological locations. The assistants I have aren't set to provide anything but extra items received, not quality.

The Mithra can be set to focus on catching larger or smaller fish from the pond, so she can affect the type of items you produce. They do have an option to increase the yields though, or the number of times you can harvest per day.
