Edit: Woops didn't realize you could purchase the food as is. Still for growing other types of food I guess it puts you at a disadvantage either way.

------------------------

So in case anyone hasn't noticed, you need to basically
1. Grow chocobo food
2. Grow plants to crossbreed to create brooms to clean chocobo stables

A small house can only have 1 gardening plot. So basically now I'm afraid to do any chocobo raising because I have yet to crossbreed any broombrush (thankfully I have glazenuts at least) and because I can't actually grow any food for my bird :(

I'd like to request adjustment of either the amount of stable cleaning brooms we get (at the moment it's only 20) or make its a "permanent" one time item so that we can at least spend time growing food for the chocobos instead of spending 2 weeks crossbreeding things to make a cleaning item.

Very disappointed that I feel I have to wait another 2 weeks before I can actually do any chocobo raising due to lack of space to grow food.(´・ω・`)

You can purchase Krakka root at your local Housing vendor, kinda same than Gyshal greens.

Our garden if pretty much empty (we are 6 members ;) ) So I think we'll be ok with that Chocobo fun!

Whole reason we put in a garden.

Ooh thanks for the heads up! I must have missed it when looking through.
Glad to hear, I guess I'll be working on the brooms in the meantime then XD

That's incorrect. You can purchase seeds only.

Once I got into the game longer I noticed this as well. I was only able to raise my chocobo with the few krakka roots I got from doing the initial quest.
I'm still growing broombrush in my garden, so yea still need to wait weeks for this. This kinda stinks. Once I run out of krakka root I'll probably just take my chocobo out and never bother for a while :/

Ya our FC has halted all chocobo raising due to the not having the broom yet to clean stables.
Is sad they add a possible great feature then lock it behind a tiny amount of plots available for gardening.
Time to release my choco back in to the wild and let it roam free, till I need to queue for something

198,000 gil and the broom is yours. That was the going price on our boards on Siren last night.

I'm guessing I will be purchasing one if the market hasn't gone through the roof.

My retainer brought back a magicked broom last night. Used already to bring the stable from fair to good. Poof, broom is gone! Anyone know how long the cleanliness will last? This could become a sticking point for the stables. I would rather 'hire' a stable hand, like the mender and those folks in the house. This could get very expensive, very quickly.

I knew the brooms weren't permanent and you only make 20 at a time but no idea how long it lasts. Since you actually used one, please let us know how long yours lasts?
I imagine it depends on how many chocobos are being raised in the stable perhaps?

I've used one broom on the patch day, have 4 chocos there and (due to limited supply of krakka roots) trained only 6 times (in total) since the cleaning and stables are still sparkly clean so there is a hope it might last at least a week?

The last FC choco got retired tonight thanks to the gating of being able to use this feature, not well played

Magicked broom effects still going strong. We only have 5 Chocobos in the stables, and I just planted Krakka root. Each has been trained a few times and no issues as yet of cleanliness. It still sparkles. Noticed the Siren tank dipped exponentially last night and the price is less than 1/2 yesterdays market price (approx 90k gil). We started the crafting. I wouldn't think our stable would be a great example as we have so few Chocobos, but we'll see.

thanks for the insight. maybe the magicked broom increases the length of the cleanliness because by just using a new stable and only 4 people ours went from fair to poor within 3 days.

So it took just over 4 days for the stable after cleaning to change from Good back to fair status so if you want to maximize the training count for about 2 brooms per little over a week or - 20 crafted for about two and half months which is not that bad I'd say. By then you'd "maxed" (e.g. reached / get over level 10) majority of your chocos plus get far towards lvl 20 as well and if you aim to max it totally to 20 you might need another set of brooms.
