Stop being so stingy with the almond seeds!

what on earth is this? 2-3% drop rate? You're banging trees for an hour and lucky to get 3.

It might surprise SE to know my time doesn't also grow on trees. There's a point when things get plain ridiculous.

An easier way would probably be to level up a DoL retainer. They can only bring you 1 seed every 40~60 minutes, but probably a bit less stressful than chopping away at trees. Your retainer only needs to be level 40 to gather the Almond Seeds. :3

This ^^^

I never farm seeds, or soils, or anything that isn't on a timed node for the most part. Its easier to just send my retainers out every 40 mins and get a stockpile of whatever it is I need. Now with stacks going to 999, its a great day to have retainers. My retainers aren't doing anything else so may as well get them on something that's useful.

Retainers are a great option, but it's really, really weird to me that the ARR seeds like almonds are so hard to get. It took me 2 hours to get a single Wild Onion Set harvested to complete my botany log.

If you are a high enough gather 63+ you can get the seeds pretty easily. Use leaf turnIII and then after your third HQ gather use luck of the pioneer. It will reveal the hidden item, maps/seeds/etc. So every time you get 300 Gp you can get a seed.

Oh, I forgot about Leaf Turn 3. I haven't tried to gather seeds since SB dropped lol.

I do have retainers get them, but that's one per hour. The seed collect rate on these low level nodes is worse than timed nodes. I didn't know luck of the pioneer would show up a random though, I always assumed it just wasn't there. Will try that out.

For a game that hands out gear like candy they have this weird and odd tight fist on random, mundane items that make zero sense.

You also don't need to "bang the trees" so to speak. Just check the node. If it's not there, move on to the next. They reset without having to deplete them.

glad to say luck of the pioneer works like a treat :) I'd always figured that was for the 50+ nodes, not the old low level ones.

Had no idea the nodes reset without hitting them though, that's news to me as well.
