Starting to garden (although I probably shouldn't)

[Callback]

My favorite strategy for onions:

Tantaplant Broombrush strategy. Self-replicates both rare seeds once you get it going.

Gathered seeds needed (after you have the base): Midland Basil and Coerthan Tea. Tea seeds are super easy, being Heavensward so you can get 15 in a go. basil is old and grindy, but you get mandrake at the same time which are great for growing minions, and growing minions is a great way to get your starting few broombrush seeds. Tanta seeds can be gained by planting basil and krakka, and alternating replanting as each one completes at different times until you have a good handful. Or again, you can just buy either of them from MB.

Now that you have your starting stock of broombrush and tanta seeds, it's time to start the self-replicating process.

Note: If I don't specify junk soil, use grade 3 Thanalan.


Plant tantas in your corners using junk soil. Now fill in the edges with broombrush. Uproot the tantas, and replace them with coerthan tea. Once the tea harvests, plant a second batch of tea. 8 tea harvests should give you more than the 4 broombrush seeds you used to begin this step. If you ever end up with a surplus, you can either sell it on the market board, or just skip the second tea phase and save a couple days. Repeat until you have at least 4 onion seeds.

Now that you have the onion seeds, we can grow them while replicating the tantas. Start with basil in the corner using junk soil. Then, going around in a single direction, alternate between planting onions and basil. Once you finish the circle, uproot the original basil and replant it with the proper soil. When the basil harvests, replant it. The second harvests should happen simultaneously. harvest only the basil, and replant them. Then harvest the onions, and put krakkas in their place. This should give you more than enough tantas to keep the cycle going forever.


And PirateCat, dude, save your glazenut seeds for blood peppers. Those things are pure gold, and a few midland cabbage seeds can replicate the chives while you grow them.
