What happened to this farming/Gardening DoL idea i read about last year? Are we ever going to see an option to garden without the burden of buying a house??

Might see it about the time that we see egi glamour. XD
But yeah... it probably has gone by the wayside like many things. -

They should add some kind of Greenhouse NEAR Apartment or INSIDE apartment.
Give everyone a chance to buy their own instances Gardening plot. -

Ohhh yeah, gardening, what a super duper important part of the game, they better focus all dev time to that and push it out immediately! It's certainly not a unimportant side feature that is perfectly fine being a background project that takes a bit longer to finish up. Not like any of you will even stick to it once you realize that it takes 7 real life days to grow freaking anything.

09-10-2019, 04:22 PMDumdogsWorldYou do realize there are crafting materials that can only be obtained through gardening, right? Either fix gardening or give an alternative source of mats. Heck, there's absolutely no reason to bar apartment users from using outdoor garden furnishings - it could easily be faked with a fake balcony or something.Quote:

The flower headpieces that you can garden in your apartment? There is like 5 items total that fits your description, and none of them are super expensive.Quote:

09-10-2019, 04:47 PMIntrovertAntThe new flying bed is wildly expensive if you were to buy all the mats outright. In the millions. It has mats that can only be gotten from cross-breed gardening.Quote:

I just find it unrealistic to keep up with housing demands just for the sake of having a garden. Or if they insist on keeping them together...ay least let all fc houses regardless of size, be able to have 3 plots.

09-10-2019, 07:18 PMSenorPattyThe irony of that statement is that SE actually does work on the important things first, then they do housing. They've always done this in such a cycle so I don't know where you got the idea that this is what they do in priority, much less anyone here asking for it immediately.Quote:

Aren't we getting Farms? Wonder if that will allow for gardening similar to what we do with housing?

The issue was adressed already and there probably will be a solution. But it came up when ShB was in the making and I wouldn't expect this to be adressed before Ishgard Housing. It is more likely this will be adressed with other housing inquiries when they are going to release the major housing patch.
For basic gardening you can always use the indoor plant pots. You can't do crossbreeding with it, which is annoying. But maybe you got a friend with a garden plot that can help you out? I know several people who own at least small houses and don't use their garden patches. When I was heavily in crossbreeding with Onions I used my medium plot as well as three small plots of friends who didn't bother with gardening themselves. -
09-10-2019, 11:00 PMEndeleonExcept they are. because the gardens that were mentioned were never mentioned as being pre-5.1 and were implied to be way later than that.Quote:

And Minions.Quote:
Yeah. Crafting materials for housing items.
And Mounts.
And a lot of Chocobo related stuff.
Cloudsbreath got added to the loot tables in a bunch of the new sub zones though, hilariously enough making it the booby prize of sub ventures.
That said if anyone happens to have a FC with a house (any size, medium and above is best) on Coeurl you want to sell, I can always use more gardens and submarie slots. -

Runescape had an interesting gardening idea.. There were plots scattered around it's world, and displayed each players' crops. I'm not sure if this game is capable or open-world instancing like that though. If it could, they could have maybe three different size farm plots in each housing area (or anywhere else), which any number of players could purchase and use.
I just noticed six raised garden beds in the Crystalline Mean area of the Crystarium.. This would be a good spot for public gardening beds. Any player could buy / rent up to 6 of them and grow anything he wants there. Throw in a few vendors to sell basic seeds and supplies, and we're ready to go.
