4.4 Furnishings and Where to Find Them

Patch of Gravel from the scrip vendor for yellow gathering scrips

I can't seem to find this on any of the Scrip Exchange NPCs, under yellow gatherers' or any other scrip.

Edit: Found it under Red Gatherers' Scrip Exchange (Lv. 50) for 200 red scrips each.
Double Edit: Apparently it's only available from Sanana in Ruby Sea or the Scrip Exchange in Rhalgr's Reach. You can't get it off of the Scrip Exchange in towns.

Triple Edit: Boy this thing is ugly! But it can be dyed, which could lead to some interesting new furnishing combos.

I made good use of them as a kind of sidewalk/walkway from my gate to my front door. But I do agree that these are less obvious and will be interesting to see how people use them. I also thought they might work layered over gardening plots to make it look like you're growing in different type of soil, especially since it's dyable. Though I haven't tried placing it over a garden plot to see how it works yet.

The Patch of Gravel doesn't seem to clip through anything with a solid bottom (garden ponds, garden plots). It has about half the depth of the Stepping Stones, allowing you to see them through it and of course if you can see grass through something, you can see the Patch of Gravel. [edit: the gravel will completely cover gingko leaf piles and mostly cover the maple leaf piles so no gravel paths with wind blown leaves on them].

It was bothering me that the gravel in Kugane looks decent while this doesn't so I zoomed in as far as I could and took screenshots of both. The Patch of Gravel appears to use the same texture but reduced in size. I don't think it's generating shadows in the same way which leads to the oatmeal lumpy appearance instead of the sharp-edged gravel appearance. I did test it at my friend's house in Kugane and it has the same appearance as at my house so I don't think it's related to differences in lighting between older housing districts and the new expansion areas.

If it's just the texture size causing the difference then hopefully SE can tweak it to return it to looking more gravel. I really like the potential for this item in our yards, it just that little bit off right now.

Yeah, the leaves currently are a little sad they don't show up on the gravel, however, if you have the snow patches, those do pop through, so come winter if you put snow in your yard, they will look like a cleared walkway to the house. That's my plan anyway.
