    Choco Stables and gardening question

    So maybe I missed something, but it looks like not everyone in a big fc will be able to participate in the chocobo stables? From reading patch notes you need food only available through gardening, but since gardening is so limited on how much you can grow wouldn't that keep a lot of players dead locked. I can accept it's only FC's with housing as its an add on option. but, too need food from gardening which is so limited your either going to see just the top guild members enjoying the benefit of this or they will sell it to the other fc members when they are done for near extortion prices? Now maybe I'm wrong but that's what it is looking like to me, maybe I miss read and the food is optional somehow?

    I have similar concerns. Until we learn what the yields are it will be tough to say. However, a small guild house can have 512 people with only one plot. So smaller houses I feel will be extremely disproportionate to large houses that have 512 people and 3 plots. It's not like there is a large amount of land for people to upgrade houses either since all wards are full.

    You may want to find a better FC.

    On-topic: It depends on the yield per plant. Hopefully, it will be the standard 12 because then you can get up to 192 feed per full bed using Shroud Soil.

    Hm, good question... thus far, few in my FC are interested in gardening at all; so only a couple of us have gardening access so we can focus on getting those rare seeds for FC stuff. I wonder what I'll do in order to provide as many greens (and a variety of them) as possible for all my FC members. :/ We only have 2 plots for about 100 people.

    eta: I would NEVER sell community based produce to FC members, the thought is just flat awful. D: I am just trying to think how to get the most from the gardens to make my FC mates happy...

    Planter Partition - Furnishing - A low partition outfitted with several planter pots.
    Wall Planter - Wall-mounted - A simple wall-mounted planter, perfect for flowers or miniature shrubs.

    Perhaps those can be used in private rooms o.o?

    I hope you don't have these types of members into your FC.

    Back to topic:

    On my side, as long as you can get the mats, I will craft anything with pleasure for my FC mates, for free. (don't tell them; sometime I'm using my own mats as well for them cough cough)

    As these gardening crops will be what everyone is looking for, I hope people will share with other FC mates, or sell them on MB (it's theirs after all), and share the gardens through a rotation of sort.

    It's a shame for bigger FC, as there's max 24 spots, but I guess having more will put too much stress on the servers

    and 512 personal rooms for a small FC is overkill, pretty sure the DEVs made this a Constant with a specific memory allowance into that House_Class. That's why no matter which size, the 512 is the same.

    lol we are trying to be 8 into our FC to make a static of sort.. guess we won't have to fight for spots in the garden, as we each could have a spot ^^

    Can only hope. I hope it's a simple thing to make and can be mass used too (at least 2-4 plots worth, to allow for crossbreeding). Speaking as a crafter with all i70 weapons (except with CUL), I'd rather a lot of people have access to gardening than it being restricted to waiting on the individual FC to create only a handful every several days.

    I'd imagine the time to harvest for some of the greens would be rather fast (no more than 2 days hopefully), otherwise it's a pretty ridiculous way to start a rather major feature off. The much better greens can take longer, for all I care, as long as people have reasonably quick access to doing SOMETHING with the raising feature.

    well guess we cant use the planters to grow our own food. so the chocobo stables great concept but pointless with no way to grow your own stuff, I'd say maybe at least throw some new leves or challenges that would reward the food. on the other hand why couldn't every person have his own small garden at the fc? you worked the system with the stables, wouldn't it be possible to take that idea and just transfer it to the garden area? give everyone maybe 4 crops to grow at one time?

    With Thanalan soil I got 9 krakka roots per plant, with grade 3 Shroud soil people got 18 roots.
