So maybe I missed something, but it looks like not everyone in a big fc will be able to participate in the chocobo stables? From reading patch notes you need food only available through gardening, but since gardening is so limited on how much you can grow wouldn't that keep a lot of players dead locked. I can accept it's only FC's with housing as its an add on option. but, too need food from gardening which is so limited your either going to see just the top guild members enjoying the benefit of this or they will sell it to the other fc members when they are done for near extortion prices? Now maybe I'm wrong but that's what it is looking like to me, maybe I miss read and the food is optional somehow?

I have similar concerns. Until we learn what the yields are it will be tough to say. However, a small guild house can have 512 people with only one plot. So smaller houses I feel will be extremely disproportionate to large houses that have 512 people and 3 plots. It's not like there is a large amount of land for people to upgrade houses either since all wards are full.

Hm, good question... thus far, few in my FC are interested in gardening at all; so only a couple of us have gardening access so we can focus on getting those rare seeds for FC stuff. I wonder what I'll do in order to provide as many greens (and a variety of them) as possible for all my FC members. :/ We only have 2 plots for about 100 people.
eta: I would NEVER sell community based produce to FC members, the thought is just flat awful. D: I am just trying to think how to get the most from the gardens to make my FC mates happy... -

Planter Partition - Furnishing - A low partition outfitted with several planter pots.
Wall Planter - Wall-mounted - A simple wall-mounted planter, perfect for flowers or miniature shrubs.
Perhaps those can be used in private rooms o.o? -

As these gardening crops will be what everyone is looking for, I hope people will share with other FC mates, or sell them on MB (it's theirs after all), and share the gardens through a rotation of sort.
It's a shame for bigger FC, as there's max 24 spots, but I guess having more will put too much stress on the servers ;)
and 512 personal rooms for a small FC is overkill, pretty sure the DEVs made this a Constant with a specific memory allowance into that House_Class. That's why no matter which size, the 512 is the same.
lol we are trying to be 8 into our FC to make a static of sort.. guess we won't have to fight for spots in the garden, as we each could have a spot ^^
Thank you for being you ^^Quote:

don't forget personal houses are planned for 2.35 not 100% confirmed but planed so you have your own crop pools then

07-08-2014, 05:30 AMWelsper59Can only hope. I hope it's a simple thing to make and can be mass used too (at least 2-4 plots worth, to allow for crossbreeding). Speaking as a crafter with all i70 weapons (except with CUL), I'd rather a lot of people have access to gardening than it being restricted to waiting on the individual FC to create only a handful every several days.Quote:

well guess we cant use the planters to grow our own food. so the chocobo stables great concept but pointless with no way to grow your own stuff, I'd say maybe at least throw some new leves or challenges that would reward the food. on the other hand why couldn't every person have his own small garden at the fc? you worked the system with the stables, wouldn't it be possible to take that idea and just transfer it to the garden area? give everyone maybe 4 crops to grow at one time?

our fc has around 70 chocobo's in stable around 490 active members.... 3 gardens... we avg 144 plants per garden every 3 days. thats 432 pieces of food / 70 so you can potentially feed then 6 x per day with this much food ... but then this is if you do all 3 gardens in straight krakka root... what about cross breeding the plants and trying to figure out the rest of the seed recipes? ok so you use 2 of the 3 gardens for learning the recipes, making brooms to clean stables your down to1 garden again 144 pieces total so 2 pieces of food to feed aprox 70 chocobo per day at best :(. what we do is just feed the people's chcobo's 2 x a day for them free while we work the other 2 gardens for cross breeding while we also make brooms to keep stables at max cleanliness for our users.... but they should really make krakka root available from npcs!!!
