Desynthesis and gardening - seeds/soils.

Seeds and soils are a big waste of time and gil. I remember when they announced gardening and I was excited. Waiting forever to get a home and get soil patches. Only to find out it was nearly impossible to garden with any fun and speed. My plot have stood empty after trying gardening for 2 weeks
Basically, simple idea increase seeds and soil by allowing them to be cooking desynthesied from fruit/vegetables and soils from a new "ground soil" item from every single gatherer patch and fish spot.
Finally, gardening i understand the need to balance games and economy, but I'm the type of playing that will NOT buy anything from market that isn't reasonable auction prices are often not reasonable and don't find this "fun".
If I can send my retainer to gather times in 1hr cycles, why cant a farm patch do the same.
Example retainer give 7nq/3hq /hr
Gardening 100-159 item/24hr.

SquareEnix can still have rare items requiring more "effort", but basic items should be simple.

The intent is for you to play the game, not have the garden or retainers play the game for you. When it comes to "basic items" the garden is there to supplement what you get, not to be the primary source.

You shouldn't be using gardening to grow the basic items you can gather for yourself in the first place. Those seeds primarily exist to be part of the seed chains that lead to the garden unique items. You're going to benefit more from gardening if you focus on those unique items.

This is another example of if you aren't enjoying it and think it's a waste of time, don't do it. if you don't think something is reasonably priced, go without it if you won't produce it yourself.

Spend enough time doing the gardening, and you'll start to understand why some of those items cost so much on the MB in the first place. Other players want to be compensated for the effort they invested in producing the items.

Time interacting with retainer to send it on ventures = less than 60 seconds.

Time interacting with gardening for planting = less than 60 seconds. For matainence = less than 30 seconds.

This!

I like gardening, I make gil from it. If you want simplified gardening use elemental seeds and grow shards.
