Firefly Lamp

It was noted in the developers blog that the Firefly Lamp "has a special mechanic to it."

Has anyone been able to figure out what this 'special mechanic' is? Or if there's even another mechanic to it other than being able to let the fireflies out?

I hope the special mechanic refers to putting a lala in there and throwing the key away. :D

Yep, definitely discovered that mechanic when I was first playing around with them!

Here's a gif of what happens when you click on it for those who want to see:

So it's either that or Lala jail.

It's an outdoor furnishing. "Garden locked" though? Nothing is "garden locked". Even the stuff that mentions being placed in gardens can be placed anywhere outside. https://bucket.bluegartr.com/7ad3de4...95576fea4f.jpg Oriental grass in a snowcave with mini-aetheryte, no garden. Or the same oriental grass placed at the entry, goes out to halfway out of the plot: https://bucket.bluegartr.com/7a27acf...b5062a8fb6.jpg

And that gif is hardly a special mechanic; that's just what it does when you click on it.

They meant outdoor furnishings, since you can't use any outdoor furnishings indoor.

There's definitely a reason some people are under the assumption some things can only go in gardens, the in-game description heavily implies they're specifically for gardens. Just making sure they were aware that's not the case.

That's likely a localization issue. In some regions garden=yard not vegetable/flower patch.

really would have liked this indoors as well...moreso actually.
SE please remove the indoor outdoor restrictions on all items....lets US decide where we want things :)

Garden can mean a literal garden of flowers, or can be synonymous with 'yard'. For example in the UK people use garden when they are talking about the front or back 'yard' around their house. In this case I would see the use of 'garden' in that manner, not in the manner of the plots used to grow things.

Wow...all the nitpicking here. Only thing I was pointing out is what I've seen from several people thinking you could only place these things in gardens, couple of tells I got about mine when I placed them outside of them, and when they said "garden locked" it reminded me of that misconception. End of story. It's fine that that's not what they meant, that's what "just in case you weren't aware" statements like what I said are about, just making sure.

As I've mentioned in another thread, I think it would be nice if the quantity limitation can be removed (5 for firefly lamp).

Also, is it possible to tweak the item a little so we can get more fireflies in a slightly larger range please? >_<

It's a shame that we just have such limited space (and they just keep releasing outdoor stuff too!)
If only the fireflies would cover a larger area around the cage, that'd be really cool

As others have stated, a larger range on the fireflies would be really help with the lack of yard spots for spreading them around.

LOL Celef I lol in RL when I saw your shame pic hehe...ty for that :)

This stuff is weird. I can't put it inside FC chest. -_-
