Yeah, I guess it IS something else to do while waiting on coil lockouts. I'd be happier if the onions were not gated behind FC gardening and/or if the output per seed was even slightly higher. Even in a tiny FC with a single plot it takes a lot of time to get 8 onions, and we have a decent amount of people with rank 10 birds.

Maybe they will add achievement perks for hitting rank 20 and re-introduce the chocobo mask as reward...I can definitely see getting rank 20 being a perk for chocobo racing eventually.
