Gardening - Harvesting

[HEC]

Just harvested the one I planted and yield is 1, as expected. I'll get back to you on how it's used because it isn't my onion.

Wow - that's harsh! Considering let's say medium size plot with two large gardening patches you can produce max 16 Thav Onions at a time (how long does it take to grow - similar to Krakka or longer?) so considering three most likely scenarios:

1. It's needed to "break" the barier at end of each level (10 to 19) to advance to next one - e.g. up to 10 times per each chocobo. That's how I hope / think it would (should) work based on the current description in the patch notes. This wouldn't be so bad. After each brake you'll continue to feed your choco with any other food of your (or his / her) selection.

2. It's needed only once to "break" the lvl 10 barier - e.g. once per each chocobo. That would be great but I seriously doubt that's the case.

3. It's needed for every feeding / training past lvl 10 - I really REALLY hope that that's not the case here! This would mean that we need at least thousand (10 x 100 per each level) onions for each chocobo - and that's only if the current ratio of leveling up by 1% of total XP needed for each level (with "sparkly" stables) will not be changed / decreased ...

In Scenario 3. with producing nothing else but onions (and we still have no guaranteed loop!) with let's say two full harverst per week resulting in 32 onions it would take FC over 32 weeks (almost 8 months) to level ONE chocobo from 10 to 20! ... @_@ (or more if ratio will be less than 1% per training)

another thavnarian formula confirmed:
Broombush x Curiel root

These gave me apricot kernels instead:
royal kukuru x Tantalplant
royal kukuru x Mimmet gourd

only the chobo feed grew up so far; will update once royals and broom are grown

how long does it take to grow - similar to Krakka or longer

Painfully long, about as long as it takes glazenut to grow if not a day longer.

1 is the most logical scenario, but since this is SE and the last few patches have been introducing long grinds, it wouldn't surprise me if it was 3, as stupid as it would be.

Oh - that's not good with such long growing period Thanks god for remote play so I can at least use fertilizer while out and about.

On other hand - even if the only food to increase the XP after level 10 would be the onions we should be still able to gain XP the "usual" way as well although those giantic total XPs needed per each level beyond 10 would make this great grind as well anyway. Though having choco at level 11 or 12 at least might become finally a little bit more usefull in open world so I might be using it more and thus gain more XP as well. Once SE (hopefully sooner than later) fix the having companions out while queing for duty this might become less of a chore ...

Hey, I want to get my hands on that minion's seeds, can you please tell me what the combo was?

Was it this:

Garlic Cloves > Mandrake > Garlic Cloves

Or how did you place them?

7 6 5
8 - 4
1 2 3
Doesn't matter, works both ways. Intercross is determined on plant, so when (1) is the only plant it crosses with nothing and you can use w/e crap soil if the fruit is worthless. If I'm leading with Krakka for example, I'll Shroud the first plant to get the best value & not waste Thana3.

I'm not sure why people are making the distinction between harvested plant and neighbouring plants. 2 can only cross with 1, 3 with 2, 4 with 3, 5 with 4, etc., until you get to 8, which can cross with 7 or 1. At that point it's important to make the distinction that it was next to 2 plants, but it's pointless for any of the others. If you're staggering them, then it'd make more sense to note both neighbours as there's potential for (eg.,) 8 x 7 or 8 x 1, but for singles it's pointless.

Just small typo - Sylkis

And thank you for keeping your post updated!

Thanks for the correction and i updated the compilation with the new reulsts. I apologize for my lateness to update the post right away. I was to busy.

A case of bad luck?
I got 4 midland cabbage seeds from Krakka + D. Tomatoes. :/ Only the 4 krakka were harvested thus far since they were ready.

Quick follow up: The D. tomatoes finished and I received 2 sylkis and 2 cabbage seeds from them.

So I'm guessing a lot of this is RNG fun times?

Regarding the Thavnairian onion: The patch notes say that feeding an onion after training increases the chocobo's upper level limit by 1 so if it works like that it's really not that bad.

Mandrake + Nymeia Lily = Thanvarion Onions ... No Mandragora queen

[Lyrinn]

Mandrake + Nymeia Lily = Thanvarion Onions ... No Mandragora queen

If that splits into both Mandragora Queen and Thav. Onions ... that's a useful combination. o.o
