FC Gardening Plots/Systems/Privileges

[Sadana]

Only a couple people showed any interest in gardening so, in order to work carefully towards rare seeds, I restricted access to just those 2. We have 2 gardens. One is used for glazenuts and other rare mats; I changed the one I tend over to chocobo food for the FC as soon as I saw the seeds were available. Luckily, each plant produces 9 krakka. I put these into the coffer for FC use. I'm now working towards making the other food types.

On a side note, we discovered that a bird won't level up in the stable. Any food given to the max exp bird will result only in an error message and the food will be lost. :/ (I hope this is a bug.) I've posted a note to the log in info for everyone to remove their bird from the stable in case of level up. They can put them back afterwards.

eta: We have a medium size FC to go with our medium house. :3 Not everyone actively uses the house/stables or even bothers to level their bird. So, the amount of krakka produced will tide us over a few days. I will say though that I did get a number of "Are we growing chocobo feed now? When will it be ready? What about the other feed?" questions right away. XD

I'm struggling with this as well. Until 2.3 only two or three of us had any interest in gardening. With 2.3 and chocobo raising suddenly we have a huge interest and absolutely no way to feed the demand. I'm trying to come up with some sort of system to help dole out results based on those who supply soils and fertilize. I'm afraid we will never be able to meet the demand for our FC. The plants would have to grow twice as fast or more to be able to do it.

How did they ever think putting ALL chocobo food in gardening was a good idea? Krakka should be available from an NPC at the very least.

We are a small FC and before our needs for seeds were pretty low. First days within patch a lot of members wanted to start gardening for themselves to get minions, chocobo good, glazenuts, etc. We started farming some of these items, but it takes several weeks to meet everyone's wishes.

If players could have their own small "garden" bed that allows them to grow 2-4 seeds by purchasing personal rooms it would offset the imbalance.

It could be a simple windowsill garden:
