Gardening Issue with Chocobo Raising

[Myrhn]

This is.... disappointing. I'm already overworked putting together things for the guild's crafting, and now everyone is going to be on me to get their stupid chocobo stuff grown - SE IT'S TOO MUCH!

Either add personal gardens SOON or change the things needed for these chocos. This system would have been interesting and great if it was a personal system, but I'm sick of working for everyone else's benefit and I'm very close to just telling them all to go pound salt. I don't think that this level of discord is what you wanted your systems to bring about in people, but that's what is happening as you make more and more content exclusively accessible (and therefore necessary to be produced by) the top tiers of FC leadership.

The whole thing is just terribly implemented, but I'm starting to expect that from this game.

I feel you there. I'm the only gardener of my FC that have 3 batches. And now with patch 2.3 everyone wants something. I at least manage to keep some glazenuts and broombrush since i started gardening very early.

God, SE.. why can't you make ANYTHING accessible to everyone? Why must EVERYTHING be difficult with you? I love this game, but I am increasingly more and more disappointed and flat-out baffled by your terrible decisions on non-progression content. You screwed up glamour, you screwed up housing, you screwed up dyeable AFs (seriously, it doesn't change their stats), you're screwing up chocobo raising. Seriously, you need to get your heads on straight and fix this crap.

Sarcasm? This entire game is accessible, which is the problem - they start to change it (like any good MMO) and it seems to be a problem. This particular style by design isn't great because it's not really..interactive - In XI it was kind of the same, but it still had a bit more interaction (and purpose) to it since chocobos could actually vary.

Imagine when they introduce the chocobo color change feature... I'm sure it will require an insane amount of grind to change the feathers of our little friends from what I've seen in this patch.

I don't even want to start thinking about what mumbo-jumbo they are going to make us do in order to enjoy the Golden Saucer when it comes out.

[Tupsi]

He already stated you change the plume color by feeding it an item, far less work than FFIX/FFVII/FFXI breeding (thus more accessible to people who want to do it asap.) Since as we know color usually = ability and traits on a chocobo, so there wouldn't be any work involved.

So 3 days into patch:

I reside in Ward 4 of the goblet.
28/30 homes are purchased.
Of those 28 homes, only 10 even have a garden currently growing something. (and of those 10, not all of them are using the 'biggest' garden or as many as their plot size allows).

...22/28 Have chocobo sheds.

So my point: People aren't even growing/attempting to grow chocobo food (just like they didn't try to plant before very often). This is the main reason the demand will be far greater than the supply. If more of those FC's would even just grow the Krakka Root, life would be better. (Sure it offers no bonus stat but it's still food and helps exp).

or Thavnarian onions

[Felis]

As a serious sidenote. Is it ONE fruit/ one level cap raise?

If so then I don't mind paying terrible sums of gil for one veggie but if it's like a boatload of them you need to cram into your bird's beak then tables will be flipped!

- Chocobo Level Cap
For chocobos that have already attained the maximum rank, rewarding them with a Thavnairian onion following training will increase this upper limit by one.
* Chocobo companions cannot exceed rank 20.

1 Thavnairian onion increase the level cap by 1
So you would need 10 Thavnairian onions to reach cap 20

They could all be resolved if they let personal rooms have their own gardens.

Or if we just has personal houses already......

Here's how you calculate magic stable broom price=
1 Glazenut + 1 Broombush + 5 bamboo sticks / 20


On our server, someone brought price down to 75k. So as long as brooms get below 125k, it will be more reasonable for people to purchase them than buy a new choco stable.
