Gardening Issue with Chocobo Raising

[Rubieus]

I have been the only gardener in my FC to date.
I have provided anyone in my FC who requested them with glaze, jute and broom for the cost of soil and seeds...

I am very concerned... I certainly hope that the food yields high amounts (24 fruit from a single tree?) because this is going to complete suck for FCs with 200 chocobos in the stable and 1 garden of which to get greens from.

In the event we can simply gather the seeds - its actually ok regardless of the numbers above.
If these seeds are cross breed only ... then that means it will be at least 9 days till anyone, on any server can raise a chocobo in the stables. (unless your retainer brings you a seed from the RNG god)

FC has like 64 people 1 garden for 64 peoples chocobos. Some people have a FC with over 100 people. Not being able to do this personally with a large FC is somewhat of a problem.

thepatch notes do say they are obtained from gardening. but not once does it state ONLY gardening? right? Arent we getting ahead of ourselves here?

They did say they increased the number of different things you could get from quick exploration by retainers... maybe that would be an alternate source? I've gotten a seed from them that is normally only obtainable by crossbreeding, so it might be an option (as poor as the odds may be)

Most likely we aren't because if I know SE, this is the only way (next to possible retainer venture reward). While it is possible there will be other means in the future, I'm fairly certain this is the only means we'll have for now. (next to buying off MB from other players who have the willpower to focus on this)

I honestly think you will be ble to buy the vegetables from a vendor, most likely In central shroud, and the growing aspect is a cheap alternative, as realistically its a plant, would be stupid if we couldn't grow it. We all know what SE is like with the stranger realism they like to add, like the painted metal gear having a matte finish.

As has already been clearly pointed out. With how many FCs have gardens and can actually use them. it would be insanely unrealistic to limit veg which can be used once every real world hour to something grown once every 2-7 day's.

I'm not saying the feed will be hard to make, just the stable cleaning stuff and possibly the thavnairian onion used to raise their rank/level. Even so, glazenuts and broombushes necessary to make the magicked stable brush are already 500k+ on some servers. So, needing more than one every so often is going to really break the bank so to speak.

Furthermore, at least on my server, 90% of the 'hardcore elite' FC's garden plots are barren most of the time....(or growing something exceptionally lame/hipster).

XD Omg I'm dying!
I know this is a serious issue (for me too) but oh god. That was too funny for words =D

I didn't even know what one might grow could be considered lame and/or hipster but the more you know people!

[Seif]

As a serious sidenote. Is it ONE fruit/ one level cap raise?

If so then I don't mind paying terrible sums of gil for one veggie but if it's like a boatload of them you need to cram into your bird's beak then tables will be flipped!

From how it is written on the notes. It seems like you only need to have 1 on you to use the command. so -1 inventory space.

"You must possess a magicked stable broom in your inventory to make use of this option."
