Purchased & Planted Twenty Three Thavnarian Onion Seeds on 6/1/2016

Issue: On 6/1/2016 I purchased twenty three thavnairian onion seeds- Prices varying from 67,000gil to 100,000 gil a piece. For a total of 1.73mil on the Market board (MB). I planted them the same day, and I've been fertilizing them as often as I remember too. Upon purchase and plantation, there was no notification about the server maintenance being 24 hours. That information was either posted on 6/2/2016 or 6/3/2016 (exact date and time unknown). After further analysis I've come to the conclusion that my plants will die because I won't be able to attend to them for 24 hours (The duration of the maintenance period).

I am providing: proof of purchase, with date and time stamps. Fertilization logs for my effort to try to speed up the harvesting cycle before the maintenance. And Gil transfer transaction on the day of purchase, to prove that I had 1.73 mil to spare, and more gil to prove that I could afford the purchase.

What I would like to see: In the unfortunate event that I'm unable to harvest the Thavnairian onion plants before the harvest, and then the plants die. I would like to petition for your help (SE). Possible solutions, (23 thavnairian onion seeds: 23 Thavnairian onions: Or reimburse me 1.73million gil).

Note: The picture I provided about "Transfer of Gil transaction on Day of Purchase" mainly depicts transfer of gil between my alts in there personal FC (I have 3 alts in there own FC so I can transfer gil/items between them freely). Dauntless Reborn had roughly 1.5mil on them at the time so I transferred 350,000 from a 2nd alt to him, then transferred 1.8ishmil from Dauntless Reborn, to a member of my main characters FC. Then they sent 1.8ishmil to Dark Intelligence through the mailbox (I figured it was slightly faster than me dropping from my main FC, then to pay someone 20,000gil to have someone join my alts FC, and so they could invite Dark intelligence into the FC, just so I could transfer gil. Then drop from the FC and rejoin my mains FC. (A time consuming process that is slightly annoying).

Wrong conclusion. They die about 24 hours after going sickly (purple) or going harvestable.

ohhh tyvm for the clarification <3 Case should be closed then.

Try and remain online up until the beginning of the downtime & water just before. Be sure to be there for when servers come online & immediately water them. If you're lucky they will survive, but they'll definitely suffer from purple stank so be more tender until harvest.

Notice of 24 hour maintenance was posted on lodestone on

Thanks for the heads up. The plants should be fine. It takes 12 hours for a plant to go sickly (my understanding), then it takes another 24 hours for it to die. I have a 36 hour window.

It depends on the seed, they def do not go sickly after only 12 hrs tho, I have planted and harvested enough thav onions to state that as a fact, its more around the 18 hr mark. Also they get sickly twice before they die, so as long as you haven't let them get sick a couple times already you should be fine even if maint takes longer than expected.

Was gonna say patch was posted a couple weeks before the 1st of the month... If they die it isn't really SE's fault shoulda paid more attention.

Here's the title of the forum post, in the maintenance section, dated 22 May. As you can see, your claim that they didn't post the information until 2-3 Jun is false. Furthermore, by purchasing a subscription to the game you're agreeing to the ToS, which states they can take down the servers without notice to perform maintenance at their discretion.

I've been reading this thread for the last two days wondering why no one is asking why you're growing 23 onions... am I the only one?

Obviously you can grow what you want, but the most thav onions any one person needs is 10, so either you have a lot of alts, you're growing for a FC or you're planning on selling the output. But since you bought all the seeds in the first place, and didn't grow them, you'd think that'd considerably eat into the profits, so there must be quite the difference on your server to be willing to tie up 3 gardens for a week? :S

Sorry it's just bugging me :)

I'd assume it's for his FC.
His screenshot shows evidence of it being a FC house, not a personal house.

Though now that I look at his FC message, I wonder...

I've had perfectly healthy plants die over a 4 hour maintenance before - I wouldn't advise planting anything any where close to a maintenance, or having anything in garden plots during maintenance. In fact because of this now having happened to me twice (two separate maintenances) I just don't garden any more at all. This has been conversed about on the forums previously, and was apparently "working as intended"/not planned for a fix. I'm assuming it doesn't always happen, but twice was enough for me to be done!
